Using of science technologies for mining machinery constructions' strength improvement

Recommendations for strengthening the brake construction in accident dangerous areas of fatigue destruction were developed. Computer modeling was made using the ANSYS program that helps to visualize stained condition of the construction for further practical testing of the strength and reliability improving technology of mining elevating machines' constructions, which are being in a long-term use, with a help of the strengthening elements. A way of construction strengthening, which eliminates the possibility of further fatigue destruction of the brake system elements, because of the load cycle in exploitation process

Method of restoring pivot connections cast iron bushings of heat engine with external heat supply

The article presents the results of studies aimed at developing a method of restoring cast iron bushings for pivot connections of a heat engine with external heat supply. The methods of computer modeling the stress-strain state of the pivot connections are used. To carry out computer modeling, the ANSYS program has been used, which allows simulating the stress-strain state of the kinetic pair of the pivot connection of the crank mechanism of engines with external heat supply and excluding cumbersome field tests of experimental samples. The dependence of stresses on the contact surface of the bushing on the depth of the boring in relation to its total length has experimentally been established

Use of reinforcing elements to improve fatigue strength of steel structures of mine hoisting machines (MHM)

The article discusses the issues of fatigue fracture of steel structures and the method of increasing their strength through the use of reinforcing elements. The authors set the search for ways to improve steel structures and to reduce their metal intensity without reducing strength and increasing their resistance to fatigue failure, except for the use of expensive high-strength alloys. They have proposed a method for strengthening the structure and searching for its optimal shape of the loaded part, capable with a smaller wall thickness to withstand fatigue failure of steel structures of mine hoisting machines used to transport metallurgical coke in long-term operation. The results of computer modeling the stress-strain state of a steel beam under operating loads are given
