ABSTRACT
In this study, vibrational analyses of telescopic platforms which are widely used in
construction areas have been conducted and these structures have been optimized
in order to satisfy vibrational standards. A vibration analysis has been conducted on
a platform using solid modeling and finite element analysis method. Also the results
of this analyses have been verified using experimental modal analyses. By means of
finite element and experimental modal analyses, free vibration analyses have been
implemented and natural frequencies and mode shapes have been determined. Also
vibration acceleration values on the structure have been obtained by a forced
vibration analysis conducted over the model. All these analyses have been done on
the new optimized structure and it has been determined whether the optimized
structure satisfies the vibrational standards.
