The rapid urbanization and industrial growth have increased the demand in construction, maintenance, and infrastructure, leading to significant advancements in aerial work vehicle technology. This study focuses on the structural performance of ultra-high-strength steel plates of varying thicknesses used in telescopic booms, which is a critical component of aerial work vehicles. This study aims to address the cost issues associated with the previously used 5mm thick plates by evaluating the structural integrity of thinner plates. Using finite element analysis (FEA), the study analyzes stress and displacement for different thicknesses, specifically targeting the first boom segment, which bears the most load. The results indicate that while 3mm and 3.2mm thick plates are unsuitable due to buckling, the 4mm thick plate meets safety criteria with a safety factor of 2.51 and reduces costs by over 20%. By using 4mm thick ultra-high-strength steel for the first boom segment is cost-effective, providing structural integrity and an applicable solution for aerial work vehicle manufacturers.

Aerial work platform truck is used in various ways depending on the surrounding environment, of city roads, farming areas, and industrial sites. Air flow, drag force and torque in surroundig the flow field of AWP have been analyzed with CFD method. The overall air flow rate decreases as the AWP passes and increases between the vehicle and the boom, at the boom connections, and at the bottom of the work platform. The drag force and torque on the boom, workspace, and the combined boom and workspace are largely affected by air flow velocity. The boom's drag and torque are approximately 2.2 and 1.3 times greater than those of the work platform, respectively. These predicted results can be widely applied as basic conceptual design data for highly efficient aerial work platform truck.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the structural stability of 30m fly(maximum working radius of 30m) and telescopic boom with composition. In order to reduce the weight and insulate, the boom of special vehicle has a 3-stage telescopic boom of DOMEX960, pocket part of acetal, 2-stage refracting boom of ATOS80, insulation boom of glass fiber composition and effector. In this process, CATIA is applied to create 3D modeling, then ANSYS are performed the structural analysis. The structural analysis is performed for a case where the thickness of the insulating boom of the ATOS 80 is 7[㎜] and the thickness of the insulating boom of the FRP material is 15[㎜] and 16[㎜].
