Strength analysis of horseshoes made using casting techniques

Abstract

The article presents a fragment of results of R&D works carried out at the Foundry Research Institute concerning the development of modern casting materials from ferrous and non-ferrous alloys to make horseshoes with increased durability. Problems related to the development of the horse’s movement model and hoof mechanics are presented. On the basis of generally available data, strength analyzes of horseshoes made using castings techniques were carried out.
