Abstract:

To verify the design parameters of each component more accurately before the actual excavator production， an analysis method for predicting the digging performance of the excavator based on Discrete Element Method and Multi-body Dynamics （DEM-MBD） is proposed. A series of experiments are carried out on a domestic hydraulic excavator under flat and sloping conditions， and the load spectrum data of corresponding conditions are obtained. According to the digging process of the excavator and the shape of the material heap during the experiment， the co-simulation was carried out using the dynamic software RECURDYN and discrete element software EDEM to restore the operating state of the excavator during the excavation. By comparing the data derived from the load spectrum collected in the experiment with the data from the co-simulation， the results show that the correlation coefficients between the hydraulic cylinder thrust and the digging resistance data obtained by the co-simulation and the measured data are all greater than 0.9， which proves that the DEM-MBD co-simulation method is suitable for performance analysis of excavator.
