Abstract

Especially in developing countries, the rise of infrastructure works increases the demand for heavy machines. Backhoe loaders: These are small tonnage work machines consisting of a bucket group at the front and a bucket set at the back, which are used in many areas such as infrastructure, road construction, maintenance, and repair in the construction industry. The teeth, which are bolted or welded to the front of the buckets, protect the bucket against the abrasive effects of soil and rocks. The rapid wear of the teeth under great loads is an important cost item in construction equipment. In this study, the stresses under the effect of dynamic loads were tried to be determined in the teeth in the backhoe loader buckets. In this context, it is aimed to determine the wear conditions of two different models of teeth, which are frequently used in the sector, with the help of the discrete element and finite element methods.
