Design of modification of the supporting structure of the press part of the paper machine

The thesis deals with a description and a strength analysis of selected parts of a modified supporting structure of a press part of a paper machine. The construction is designed to simplify a replacement of felt belts during a service shutdown of the machine. The first part of the thesis is devoted to a brief description of the paper machine with a more detailed focus on the press part. The next part of the thesis includes a project of adjustment to the original design of the supporting structure. The last part deals with a strength control of construction nodes of the adjusted project. A strength calculation is further divided into a calculation using the finite element method and an analytical calculation. Results of both previous calculation methods are compared at the end of the thesis
