| It was required to analyse and assess the strength and fatigue design of a Ladle Transport and Tilting Vehicle (LTTV) used in the aluminium smelting industry. The ladle has an aluminium payload of 9 tonnes. Analyses were performed for various tilt angles of the tilting frame in order to calculate the stress ranges in the various structural components. The fatigue assessment was performed in accordance with Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures – Part 1-9: Fatigue. |  |
