Abstract
An excavator is a typical hydraulic heavy-duty machine used for versatile construction operations. During such operations, there is a possibility of wear and bending of bucket teeth. Therefore, the parts of the excavator must be strong enough to cope with caustic working condition. In the present work, FEM technique is used to simulate the operating conditions of mechanism. The aim of present study is to develop a three dimensional solid model of an excavator bucket by using SOLIDWORKS software and to conduct linear static stress analysis using ANSYS finite element software and to study the stresses and deformations using different types of materials for bucket teeth tips. Among the three types of joints used in this study, values of Von-misses stress and deformation is found to be less in rivet type of joint as compared to bolted joint used for fixing teeth caps to the bucket. In addition, a combination of teeth tips made of HARDOX 4...
