Modelling of single-bucket loader working processes by ?autodesk inventor?

Summary. Raising of problem. Topicality of the research is explained by the tendency of using loaders during both roads building and their maintenance. The work is based on simulation models and the possibility of their application in future. Methods of research are the methods of finite elements, software provision simulation of loader dynamics and carrying out experiments with the help of PC. The aim of the research is to analyse loader working processes with the use of computer simulation. Conclusion. They are applications of modern methods of design and analysis of earth-moving machines by the software complex ?Autodesk Inventor?. The results of simulation of single-bucket loader working processes by means of Autodesk Inventor are given. There is development of a rather detailed computer model of a single-bucket loader; possibilities of the use of the model for simulating the single-bucket loaders working processes are analysed. This method of simulation allows to study complex systems and mechanisms. Computer experiments are preferable when the physical experiments which sometimes can give unpredictable results, are impossible to carry out. The logics and formalization of computer models make it possible to reveal the main factors which determine the properties of the object under study the original (or the whole class of objects); in particular, to research the reaction of the physical system to the change of its parameters and initial conditions.
