Abstract
For this study, three-dimensional models of the soles of work shoes of different thicknesses and consisting of different materials were created. These models were analyzed to obtain the distribution of stress and strain on their surfaces. To build the model, we used experimental data on the shape and size of the sole, as well as the properties of specific materials used in the manufacture of soles for work shoes used in agriculture. The goal was to determine the most suitable material, that is, which of the materials has the most suitable characteristics for the sole, has the best wear resistance when used in agriculture. We noticed a significant reduction in deformations on the surface of the sole with an increase in the thickness of the sole, as well as when using two-component casting of the sole from a combination of materials: low-density EVA and flexible PU, medium-density EVA and soft PVC. This indicates their advantages and maximum suitability.
Highlights
Modern work shoes are an important element of a worker's equipment
According to the results of using a two-layer ethylvinyl acetate (EVA) low density + EVA medium density sole, an increase in the thickness of the sole leads to a significant increase in the Equivalent Von-Misses stress
A significant reduction in the stress on the sole with an increase in the thickness of the sole was found with a combination of materials: low-density EVA+PU and flexible mediumdensity EVA+PVC soft
Summary
Modern work shoes are an important element of a worker's equipment This is both the protection of the worker's legs, and a means of the normal functioning of the entire body during the working day, which should have certain aesthetic properties. Work shoes are a kind of personal protective equipment that reduces the risk of occupational injuries. In this regard, shoes should be protected from bumps, punctures, low and high temperatures, from slipping, water, petroleum products, acids, alkalis, etc. Shoes should be protected from bumps, punctures, low and high temperatures, from slipping, water, petroleum products, acids, alkalis, etc These are serious requirements for a product that must perform its functions during a certain period of its operation. Reliability refers to the properties of the product to perform specified functions, maintaining its performance within certain limits under specified operating modes and conditions of use, as well as during storage
