Specific energy based rippability classification system for coal measure rock

2008-02-01
Specific energy is simply defined as the work done per unit volume of rock excavated. Specific energy is an important performance parameter as it relates cutting force to the amount of rock excavated. In this paper the development of a new rippability classification system for coal measure rock based on specific energy is presented. Extensive field and laboratory studies were conducted at six different lignite open pit mines and rock mechanics laboratory. Since both ground and machine properties are incorporated, the rippability classes of rocks and the approximate hourly ripper productions of different dozer types can be assessed by using the developed system.

Large deformation analysis of shells under impulsive loading
Evcim, Mehmet; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
In this thesis large deformation behavior of shell structures under high intensity transient loading conditions is investigated by means of finite element method. For this purpose an explicit finite element program is developed with interactive user interface. The developed program deals with geometric and material nonlinearities which stem from large deformation elastic - plastic behavior. Results of the developed code are compared with the experimental data taken from the literature and simulation results...
Analysis of single phase convective heat transfer in microtubes and microchannels
Çetin, Barbaros; Yüncü, Hafit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
Heat transfer analysis of two-dimensional, incompressible, constant property, hydrodynamically developed, thermally developing, single phase laminar flow in microtubes and microchannels between parallel plates with negligible axial conduction is performed for constant wall temperature and constant wall heat flux thermal boundary conditions for slip flow regime. Fully developed velocity profile is determined analytically, and energy equation is solved by using finite difference method for both of the geometr...
Effect of surface roughness in microchannels on heat transfer
Turgay, Metin Bilgehan; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
In this study, effect of surface roughness on convective heat transfer and fluid flow in two dimensional parallel plate microchannels is analyzed by numerically. For this purpose, single-phase, developing, laminar fluid flow at steady state and in the slip flow regime is considered. The continuity, momentum, and energy equations for Newtonian fluids are solved numerically for constant wall temperature boundary condition. Slip velocity and temperature jump at wall boundaries are imposed to observe the rarefa...
Assessment of hand-type hammer drill bits under percussive loading
Demir, Osman Koray; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
The task of a drill bit in percussive drilling is to transport the initial kinetic energy of the hammer to the workpiece in terms of stress waves. The efficiency of this transportation and the stresses that the drill bit is exposed to during the process is dependent on the nature of the stress waves. In hand-type hammer drilling, changing dimensions of the bit means changing conditions for the propagation and interaction of the stress waves. In this study, using finite element method, wave propagation and i...
Experimental and numerical analysis of compression on a forging press
Biçer, Gökhan; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
Forging is a metal forming process which involves non-linear deformations. Finite element and finite volume software programs are commonly used to simulate the process. In these simulations, material properties are required. However, stress-strain relations of the materials at some elevated temperatures are not available in the material libraries of the related software programs. In this study, the stress-strain curves have been obtained by applying the Cook and Larke Simple Compression Test to AISI 1045 st...
