Lectures

Goal

Basic course goals (objectives): 1) introducing students to specificity of working process, construction, design and calculation of fundamental subsystems of construction and mining machines; 2) mastering practical skills which are necessary for design and calculation of construction and mining machines.

Outcome

This course offers the following skill set to the students who complete it: • Design of backhoe excavators’ working devices; • Design of basic elements of single-bucket excavators’ working devices; • Modeling and calculation of a bucket wheel excavator’s working device – bucket wheel body and buckets; • Design and calculation of the bucket wheel drive system; • Design and calculation of four and eight-wheel bogie of a crawler mechanism; • Calculation of basic technical and technological parameters, power and strength of jaw and conic rock crushers; • Load analysis, modeling, proper supporting, loading and finite element analysis of civil and mining machines’ fundamental subassemblies.
