Roadheaders Performance Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Roadheader performance and related parameters are reviewed and their effects on the production and advance rate are discussed. Among the parameters influencing the machine performance, the most important one is the cutterhead design which could be optimized for a specific application. The procedures and the approach used in design optimization is reviewed. A computer program which has been developed for implementation of these procedures is also presented in this paper.
