Abstract

As an important part of the ecological environment, rivers provide an important guarantee for the production and life in China. At present, domestic and foreign for the construction of the gate has been gradually shaped, hydraulic steel gate gradually developed as a hydroelectric power station high head, flood discharge flow of large gate type, the smooth opening and closing of the gate is related to the entire water conservancy hub and downstream of the safety of the residents' lives. For the safety of plane gate, this paper adopts Ansys software to establish a finite element model of plane gate, and calculates the most dangerous point stress of plane gate by considering its most unfavourable loading condition. At the same time, the service life of the allowable stress reduction was considered. The analysis results show that the planar gate meets the strength safety. The main beam is simplified into slender beam and thin-walled deep beam, and the calculation formula of slender beam in the mechanics of materials and thin-walled deep beam in the literature is used to calculate the positive bending stress in the mid-span cross-section of the main beam of the gate, and a comparative analysis is carried out with the results of Ansys, which shows that the positive bending stress in the mid-span cross-section of the main beam obtained by simplifying the main beam into a thin-walled deep beam is more close to the results of Ansys calculation. The results of this paper provide an important reference for the structural strength analysis of planar gates.
