Mining equipment analysis and design
Static nonlinear contact finite element analysis or dynamic finite element analysis of structures to determine:
The above finite element results can be used to assess:
- Stress ranges
- Peak deflections
- Contact gap openings
- Bolt forces (including the effects of bolt preload and prying action)
- Natural frequencies and mode shapes
- Response to harmonic excitation
The above finite element results can be used to assess:
- Design fatigue life
- Sealing effectiveness of bolted joints
- Effect of parameter and design variations
Structural analysis of ball and SAG mills, including design optimisation and fatigue assessment to BS 7608:1993 and AAC 3223001
