متن کاملHybrid Power Systems for Construction Machinery: Aspects of System Design and Operability of Wheel Loaders
This paper will examine the wheel loader as a system with two parallel energy conversion systems that show a complex interaction with each other and with the power source. Using a systematic design approach, several principle design solutions for hybridization can be found. Furthermore, the human operator with his/her control actions needs to be considered as part of the total system. This pape...
متن کاملAchievement of Fuel Savings in Wheel Loader by Applying Hydrodynamic Mechanical Power Split Transmissions
Abstract: The fuel economy of wheel loaders is deeply affected by the efficiency of their propelling transmissions, however, the torque converter (TC) in existing propelling transmissions is a low-efficiency component and leads to excessive energy consumption. Accordingly, this paper replaces the TC with a hydrodynamic mechanical power split transmission (HMPST) for improving the fuel economy o...
متن کاملInvestigating the effect of passing retroversion heavy machinery on decreasing flood crisis relief on their pavement failure
Background and objective: Due to the fact that the desert areas of our country experience devastating floods in autumn and winter, and heavy machinery inevitably need transportation roads for relief and reconstruction in flooded areas. Pavement failure with saturated layers due to floods is considered. Method: In this research, Everstress software has been used for modeling and fine sand with 3...
متن کاملMulti-Sensor Based Online Attitude Estimation and Stability Measurement of Articulated Heavy Vehicles
Articulated wheel loaders used in the construction industry are heavy vehicles and have poor stability and a high rate of accidents because of the unpredictable changes of their body posture, mass and centroid position in complex operation environments. This paper presents a novel distributed multi-sensor system for real-time attitude estimation and stability measurement of articulated wheel lo...
