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 dragline front-end assembly using vector loop and simultaneous constraint methods. Detailed analysis of the simulation results show that the maximum closure error from the vector loop is 4x10E-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 provide a solid basis for developing appropriate simulation technologies for efficient dragline operations.

Dragline dynamic modelling for efficient excavation Demirel, Nuray (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) 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...
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...
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 Strength Mobilized in Undrained Failure of Soft Clay and Silt Deposits Mesri, Gholamreza; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2007-02-18) In the early days of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, two important assumptions were made as a part of the limiting equilibrium stability analysis of undrained failure of soft clay and silt deposits. It was assumed that undrained shear strength is independent of the laboratory or in situ testing methods used to determine it, and that the shear strength mobilized in a full-scale undrained failure in the field is equal to the undrained shear strength measured by a laboratory or in situ test. However...
Dynamic crack growth along a polymer composite-Homalite interface Çöker, Demirkan; Needleman, A. (2003-03-01) Dynamic crack growth along the interface of a fiber-reinforced polymer composite-Homalite bimaterial subjected to impact shear loading is investigated experimentally and numerically. In the experiments, the polymer composite-Homalite specimens are impacted with a projectile causing shear dominated interfacial cracks to initiate and subsequently grow along the interface at speeds faster than the shear wave speed of Homalite. Crack growth is observed using dynamic photoelasticity in conjunction with high-spee...
