Overview Abrasive wear is an important phenomenon in a wide range of applications where the particles of a granular material slide against equipment surfaces. The Archard wear model is widely used for the DEM modelling of abrasive wear. The model computes the volume of removed material due to abrasion. The corresponding…
Overview CHALLENGE Assessing wheel loader components and their performance under real-world load cases involving a comprehensive model incorporating flexible bodies and hydraulic actuators within a co-simulation framework. PREFACE A standalone model built using a specific simulation tool holds good for understanding the…
Overview INTRODUCTION The excavator is a staple of construction equipment seen on construction sites around the world. The simulation of heavy machinery, like the excavator, is crucial for optimizing design and improving performance. Utilizing multibody dynamics (MBD) software, engineers can analyze the mechanical systems…
Overview INTRODUCTION The design of new agricultural equipment can be improved by incorporating simulation. Simulation including structural analysis, multibody dynamics, and soil interactions can be used to predict the performance of equipment and improve the design before manufacturing. In this example, a multibody…
Overview Purpose For the automotive and heavy equipment industries, tire-soil contact area and sinkage are highly relevant since they allow engineers to predict Tractor performance at field applications, allowing the analysis of parameters such as traction, slip and fuel efficiency. It is possible to reduce the need of…
Overview A falling object protective structure (FOPS) is an assembly mounted around the cabin of a machine to guarantee overhead protection to the machine operator in the driving position. To be evaluated, the structure must pass a destructive test in accordance with International Standards such as ISO 3449. These…
Overview In this example the Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) is simulated with Radioss.. The attached zip file contains the Radioss deck . The attached PDF document describes the model, boundary conditions and brief description of the Regulation for that the Radioss analysis results are verified against. The…
