  1. 1. A bonded discrete element approach to simulate loading with hydraulic mining excavators

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Carl Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : DEM; bonded DE; granular material; hydraulic excavator; wear; Archard s wear law; LS-DYNA; simulation;

    Abstract : When operating hydraulic mining excavators the loading equipment is exposed to harsh conditions which lead to extensive wear of the equipment, especially the bucket and bucket teeth. Simulations are used to better understand the wear development and to evaluate new methods to operate excavators more efficiently. READ MORE
