The Concept of Functional Virtual Prototype in the Design of Excavator Cutting Teeth
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2009, Vol 31, Issue 3
Abstract
Cutting teeth for continuous excavator is an element of bucket assembly which has a dual function in the process of excavation, that is destruction of soil (media) and its excavation. Since most excavator processes depend on the processes in the cutting zone, it is necessary to pay particular attention to the cutting teeth design and testing of completed prototypes in working conditions. Prototype testing might be a problem, regarding distinctive excavator design,working conditions and work technology. This paper presents an alternative method for resolving these problems by utilization of simulations and simulation models through development of functional virtual prototype. Further more, it presents an example of the development of the basic model of functional dependence of cutting teeth wear and appropriate load. Development objective of such and similar models is their implementation into the virtual prototype.
