Overburden excavation is an integral component of the surface mine production chain. In large mines, the walking dragline is a dominant strip mining machine. Production engineers and operators must be guided by appropriate strategies to preserve the structural and operating performance of this equipment to justify its high capital investment. The dragline performance mainly depends on the spatial kinematics and dynamics of its front-end assembly. In this study, the authors developed the dynamic modelling of a dragline front-end assembly incorporating 2-D kinematics and bucket-formation interaction using numerical methods and dynamic simulation environment. Detailed analysis of the simulation results show that the maximum closure error from the model validation function is 4 x 10 E(-8). The angular accelerations of the drag and hoist ropes are close to zero. The respective maximum drag, cutting and hoist forces are 100 kN, 200 kN and 75 kN. The results indicate machine health and longevity within the simulated conditions.

Dragline Dynamic Modeling for Efficient Excavation Demirel, Nuray (2007-06-08) Overburden excavation is an integral component of the surface mine production chain. In large mines, the walking dragline is a dominant strip machine. Production engineers and operators must be guided by appropriate strategies to preserve the structural and operating performance of this equipment to justify its high capital investment. The dragline performance is a function of spatial kinematics and dynamics of its front-end assembly. In this study, the authors develop kinematics and dynamic modeling of a d...
Case study: Planar kinematics of dragline for efficient machine control FRIMPONG, Samuel; Demirel, Nuray (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-03-24) Overburden excavation is an integral component of the surface mine production chain. In large mines, the walking dragline is a dominant strip mining machine. Dragline performance depends on the operating speed, the bucket payload, and the machine availability, which could be negatively impacted by the actions taken to increase the machine productivity. In this study, the writers develop the kinematics and dynamic modeling of a dragline front-end assembly using the vector loop and simultaneous constraint met...
Shear-Wave Velocity-Based Probabilistic and Deterministic Assessment of Seismic Soil Liquefaction Potential Kayen, R.; Moss, R. E. S.; Thompson, E. M.; Seed, R. B.; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Kiureghian, A. Der; Tanaka, Y.; Tokimatsu, K. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-03-01) Shear-wave velocity (V-s) offers a means to determine the seismic resistance of soil to liquefaction by a fundamental soil property. This paper presents the results of an 11-year international project to gather new V-s site data and develop probabilistic correlations for seismic soil liquefaction occurrence. Toward that objective, shear-wave velocity test sites were identified, and measurements made for 301 new liquefaction field case histories in China, Japan, Taiwan, Greece, and the United States over a d...
Planar kinematics of dragline digging for efficient machine control Demirel, Nuray (null; 2006-03-29) Overburden excavation is an integral component of the surface mine production chain. The walking dragline is the most economic production equipment for overburden excavation in strip mining. Draglines are capital intensive, and thus, investments in multiple units severely impact the economic viability of projects. The use of few dragline units results in highly concentrated production focus, which must be efficiently managed to derive the potential economic benefits. Efficient use of draglines requires a th...
Stability Charts for the Collapse of Residual Soil in Karst DRUMM, Eric C.; Akturk, Oezguer; Akgün, Haluk; Tutluoğlu, Levend (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-07-01) Collapse of the residual soil over bedrock cavities often occurs during construction in karst terrain, particularly when the thickness of the residuum is reduced during excavation. Even if an estimate of the strength of the residual soil is known, uncertainty with respect to the size/geometry of the subterranean voids makes a detailed analysis difficult, and straightforward methods to check the stability are needed. In this study, numerical analyses were performed to develop a stability chart expressed in t...
