Analiza przyczyn pęknięcia zawieszenia wysięgnika przeciwwagi koparki wieloczerpakowej

The crack of the counterweight suspension has caused the serious failure of the multibucket wheel excavator in the coal mine. In order to determine the reason of the cracking the simulation research was conducted with use of modern numerical method for loading determined according to actual standards. Moreover the material testing of elements where the crack appeared was also conducted. Strength calculations and the analysis of the crack area have indicated the constructional and technological failures.
