Analysis of hydraulically driven fire fighting water monitor trailer
Abstract
The vehicle uses the pressurized water from the pump to move forward taking into account the property of straitening, elongation and buckling of hose. When the water is pumped, then pushing force developed due to straightening property of the fire hose is used to move the vehicle. This paper presents the study of behavior of the steel subjected to fire and effect of fire on the mechanical properties of the trailer. The response of the trailer which includes stress distribution and displacements under various loading conditions are to be observed. The method used in the numerical analysis is finite element technique using Ansys software. The result shows that the stresses developed lie within the range and ensure infinite life. Ways of fire protection of steel are also suggested to increase the time spend inside the fire without affecting the properties of the steel.
