Abstract

This paper explains modal analysis of individual structural element of a vibratory feeder as well as complete vibratory feeder unit using FEA technique. The analysis of the individual structural element helps in detecting those sections which might failed in the complete unit under working conditions, if excited with their natural frequencies. These elements are the helical spring, the trough, and the structure on which it is mounted. 3D models are developed using CATIA V5 software and imported into ANSYS Workbench 14. The weaker sections of each element is identified by observing the amplitude of vibration at particular natural frequency.
