Abstract
In this study, a hydraulic system of a mini-loader is modeled, and the model is validated by comparing the simulation results to the experimental results. A load force acting on the structure of the mini-loader is obtained from the simulation of the hydraulic system, and the structural analysis via finite element method is performed using the obtained load force to evaluate the structural safety of the loader. For the mainframe that requires additional strengthening according to the structural analysis, the optimum design parameters are proposed using the design of experiments to improve strength without additional mass.
