Abstract:
This research project aims to enhance the usability and performance of boat
trailers by incorporating existing mechanisms and employing advanced design
analysis techniques. The primary objective is to analyze the design of the boat
trailer using equation-based load analysis, considering its maximum load capacity
of 1400kg and length of 6 meters. Additionally, a 3D modeling simulation in
Autodesk Inventor with finite element analysis was utilized to evaluate the
performance of the trailer under various loading conditions. This simulation, which
employs finite element analysis, generates a wealth of data, including stresses
and strains on all planes (XX, XY, XZ, YY, YZ, ZZ), principal stresses, and safety
factors. This data provides valuable insights into the structural behavior and safety
margins of the boat trailer design. The project incorporates different stages of the
design process to determine the final design, ensuring that it meets the required
criteria for strength, stability, and load-bearing capacity. By leveraging advanced
simulation techniques and comprehensive data analysis, this research aims to
optimize the boat trailer's performance and ensure its suitability for various boat
transportation needs
