Due to the adding of the shielding layer,the radiation protection cockpit increased 5.5 T compared with the original weight,which made it necessary to analyze and check the strength of the supporting pedestal. In this paper,the static analysis on the structure of an ex-cavator cockpit shielding layer supporting pedestal was achieved by means of ANSYS Work-bench,and the equivalent stress and deformation distribution of supporting pedestal under the load of 5. 5 T were obtained. The thickness size of the supporting pedestal section was optimized ...
