Abstract
It is necessary to obtain the detailed stress distribution by evaluating a strength based on the FEM in the design phase because body and frame design rule of construction machinery has not been specified in the industrial standard. On the other hand, the structural analysis with shell elements and coarse mesh division for time shortening of design proposal construction is used widely. This research aims to establish the technique of acquiring a shell element model stress value equivalent to a solid element model. The stress value is calculated with a database that combines the simple analysis using the shell element and the detailed analysis using a solid element. The effectiveness of this technique is examined by applying a database to a damp truck model. This method can correspond to any stress state using the principle of linear superposition.
