Abstract:
High impact shovel loading operations expose the truck operators to whole body vibrations (WBV), exceeding the ISO exposure limits resulting in long term disabilities and health issues. With dynamic force resulting from the gravity dumping of material during each shovel pass being the main cause for these high frequency shockwaves, this work focused on developing a robust mathematical model, using Lagrangian mechanics, for capturing and examining the force on truck surface during multi-pass shovel loading process. The model was tested through experiments for the case where a CAT 793D dump truck was loaded by a large capacity P&H 4100 XPC cable shovel.
