Abstract

Abstract For the ERc 1400-30/7 type bucket wheel excavator (BWE) used in various Romanian open pit mines, a virtual model of the boom was constructed in SolidWorks. On this model, the variable in time forces acting during the excavation process were simulated, and the time history analysis (time response) was performed. This dynamic time response analysis was performed for excavation of homogenous material only, considering the damping as being of Rayleigh’s type, where the damping matrix is a linear combination of the mass and stiffness matrices. Based on the conducted analysis, the displacements of the boom during excavation were observed.
