This paper presents a comparative study on the structural members of truss using Finite Element Analysis. The focus of the work is on optimizing the design of truss structures to improve the overall performance and efficiency. This study demonstrates application of numerical simulations using ANSYS 2021 R2 to evaluate the impact of various loads on the behaviour of different structural members of the truss modelled using Solid Works 2021. The results of the simulations were analyzed and compared to select the structural membersfor optimal structure that provides the best balance between strength, weight, and cost. The findings of the study have shown important implications on the design and fabrication of truss for material handeling system at Evergreen Company Ltd in Vasai and can further contribute to the development of more efficient truss structures in future.
