Abstract

In this paper, the structure of traffic lights removed the wire for the completion of urban aesthetics is analyzed. The finite element model consists of shell elements from three-dimensional CAD model of actual traffic signal. Traffic light pole, horizontal stand shape, thickness, stiffeners, etc. are considered in this study. Analysis of stress and deformation is performed by applying wind load. When the wind load is applied, the result on traffic signal is analyzed. This study is to perform the basic tasks for improving the design.

본 논문에서는 도심 미관의 보완을 위해 와이어를 제거한 교통신호등의 구조 해석을 수행한다. 실제 교통신호등의 3차원 CAD 모델로부터 쉘 요소로 이루어진 유한요소 모델을 생성하였고, 특히 교통신호등의 지주 및 가로재는 모양, 두께, 보강재 등을 고려하였다. 풍하중을 적용하여 응력 및 변형 해석을 수행하였으며, 풍하중이 적용될 경우에 교통신호등에 미치는 결과를 분석하여 설계 개선에 대한 기본 작업을 수행하였다.
