TO THE QUESTION OF GROUNDING EXCAVATOR-TRUCK SETS CAPACITY BY COMPUTER SIMULATION

Abstract

The regularities of changing both the capacity and
prime cost of an excavator-truck set are correlated
together with the growth of the excavator’s bucket
capacity and the number of trucks, serving one
excavator. The results of computer simulation using specialized software developed in the IM UB
RAS are presented as well as different variants of
common excavator-truck sets. Technical and economic calculations in terms of simulation results
and estimation the cost of ETS ownership for 7
years are performed. The principles of selection
EAS parameters are formulated.
