Quenon Endowed Chair, Mining & Nuclear Engineering Dept., Missouri S & T, Rolla MO, USA Abstract: Large capacity shovels loading dump trucks with material in excess of 100 tons generates large dynamic impact forces results in high frequency shock waves, that in turn generates severe truck vibrations, and exposes the truck operator to significantly high whole body vibration levels and therefore compromises the health and the safety of operators. Previous studies have indicated a significant decrease in the dynamic impact force generated due to the gravity dumping of material into a CAT 793D dump truck by P&H 4100XPC shovel. However, none of those studies have shown whether or not the reduction in impact force at the truck body actually TI - Virtual Prototype Simulation for Vibration Analysis with Optimum Dumping Characterization under High Impact Shovel Loading Conditions JO - International Journal of Mining Science DO - 10.20431/2454-9460.0503003 DA - 2019-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/virtual-prototype-simulation-for-vibration-analysis-with-optimum-xeAjIWgODe DP - DeepDyve ER -
