UVOD / INTRODUCTION:
Determining the load capacity of machine parts used in the transport of heavy profiles is a challenging, but also very responsible task for any engineer. This process requires a detailed analysis of loads, deformations and critical points where local damage or system failure can occur. In modern mechanical practice, the application of the finite element method (FEM) is becoming an indispensable tool due to its precision in predicting the behavior of materials, as well as the ability to quickly and efficiently vary geometry and boundary conditions. FEM enables the simulation of real working conditions of the structure with minimal costs of experimental testing, which gives engineers wider possibilities in optimizing structural solutions. The load-bearing capacity of steel profiles is influenced by a number of parameters, among which the choice of material the method of support and stiffening of elements, geometric shape, as well as the appearance of sources of stress concentration that can lead to the initiation of cracks and reduced reliability. Each of these factors must be carefully considered in the design process to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure. Through this study, the process of variation of the geometry of the developed assembly for the transmission of massive profiles in the production hall is shown. The analysis was carried out taking into account key criteria such as the safety of the structure in operation and the overall reliability of the system. The results obtained indicate the importance of an integrated approach, where theoretical models and numerical simulations are combined with engineering experience in order to optimize the load-bearing capacity and long-term usability of the structure.
