Abstract

The vibrations of an AM50 boom tunnelling machine have been measured in real time when cutting a man-made and a real coal bed. The vibration characteristics were similar in these working conditions, i.e. the man-made coal bed can be used as a realistic simulation of real cutting conditions. A modal model of the machine was then established and the intrinsic vibration characteristics were investigated by experimental modal analysis. Vibration response simulations under a set of measured load spectra and structural dynamics modification were also carried out using structural analysis software. The results not only facilitate the structural dynamics modification of the AM50 tunneller but also provide a foundation for optimising the design of new types of tunnelling machine.
