Introduction. Single-dipper hydraulic excavators are becoming widely used multifunctional machines. Upgrading the machine as a whole and its assemblies is an actual problem to be solved with the aim of reducing material consumption and increasing stability and throughput. The article presents results of computer simulation of the excavating part designed to reduce the weight of the equipment. These data can be used to improve the equipment of excavators when operating with non-standard excavating equipment of increased weight. Materials and methods. The excavating equipment of the Hitachi ZX270 excavator is taken as a prototype. Computer simulating and calculation of the excavating part is conducted using the T-FLEX software. The calculation is carried out for different modes of the excavator operation and for different orientations of the jig boom, dipper stick and dipper relative to each other: excavating with the entire width of the dipper, single-tooth excavating, swiveling the loaded excavator for unloading. The highest stresses arise in structural members in the considered calculation cases. The calculations are performed without accounting the oscillations occurring at transient operating modes and during locking. Results. The study determines a stress-deformed condition of the pseudotruss excavating part structures of the excavator with various lightened makes selected on the basis of computer simulation. Zones of the highest stresses and largest deformations are revealed as well as suggestions on their decrease are made. The research results are used to optimize the jig boom and dipper stick structures by the criterion of generated stress minimization. Conclusions. The obtained data and formulated recommendations are the basis for further detailed simulation of pseudotruss excavating part structures of excavators and other machines of various layouts and purposes.
The issues of recycling construction scrap during the demolition of buildings, taking into account the specifics of the work on the demolition of buildings in Russia. The feasibility of the formation of “distribution cards” demolished buildings with an indication of the type and predicted amount of construction scrap. A typical extended set of construction and road machines has been proposed, which should be used when using mobile crushers. Suggestions are given on the mechanism for forming a set of machines according to the criterion of specific reduced costs. The calculated dependencies are given. It indicates which machines should be considered when choosing a kit, and which machines can be excluded from the analysis.
It has been established that the kinetic curves of adhesion (strength increase) are of the sigma type with the displacement period of the second stage relative to the first one. The period of this displacement is determined by starting of a marked metal flow over the micro-protrusion contact sections and its passing on the baton into a harder material under the second kind stresses. Activation of the contact surface of a harder material (corundum) occurs due to a handover of the deformation of the surface layer is plastically deformed micro-protrusions (grains) of the metal due to the effect of the second kind of micro-stresses which were much higher minimum yield strength of a harder material, thereby causing plastic deformation of the latter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
