Since electric energy is used in industry, mass production and various conveniences are provided. To provide convenience for the construction and operation of such electric energy transmission and distribution facilities, it is increasing that the demand for special purpose vehicles, that is, telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. When working active electric work using the telescopic aerial work platform vehicles, due to active electric work is inevitable, it is essential to ensure insulation performance for the safety of the operator. In this paper, we study the design and development of mechanical properties for filament winding process of glassfiber/epoxy composite, it is required to boom of telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. The glass fiber/epoxy composite filament winding process and its mechanical properties were evaluated to replace the existing ATOS80 boom. By filament winding process it was obtained the mechanical properties required for the design analysis of the glass fiber/epoxy composite boom. Using this, the insulated boom for the 30m class aerial work vehicle was designed and was manufactured by applying the filament winding process. The fabricated composite boom was evaluated by the static strength test to meet the required strength. The maximum displacement was 84mm and the crack occurred at the maximum load of 8981N. It satisfied the maximum lifting load of 4900N and 210mm the maximum displacement required for the boom.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the structural stability of Refracted Telescopic Boom in 30m Class with the Property of Working Range Insulation. The boom of insulation special vehicle consists of a 3-stage telescopic boom, 2-stage refracting boom, insulation boom and effector. The catia solid geometry of the boom was used to generate both a basic ADAMS model and the finite element meshes for the flexible components. The flexible bodies were generated by using the finite element program of ANSYS and then imported into the ADAMS model and their flexibility accounted to the dynamic analysis of boom. Embedding finite element representations within the ADAMS model, offers the advantage being able to perform the durability analysis and the resulting damage. Through this approach, the crack locations(hot spots) in a prototype can be predicted successfully, thereby validating the analysis procedure.

When working on electrical wiring and cable, Electrically insulated aerial work platforms must be used to prevent the electrocution hazards. Aerial work platforms with composition boom is able to increase the weight and height of the workspace due to the lightweight of boom. The aim of this paper is to clarify structural stability of 3 stage telescopic booms having an operator platform and an upper boom of composition(Fiber Reinforced Plastic) by comparing the general telescopic booms with steel material using computational analysis.
