An analysis of the stress distribution on V13 Bucket Teeth was conducted to find the principal contributing elements for fatigue failure. Moreover, a target detection algorithm was proposed to detect bucket teeth falling off based on improved YOLOX.
Rake angle effect
In order to ensure efficient machining, it is important to pay attention to tool geometry and its orientation. This includes rake angles, clearance angles and nose radius. These angles are a crucial part of cutter design and can have different values depending on the material to be cut, Painted Loader Backhoe side cutter speed, depth of cut, machine and setup.
Rake angle essentially indicates the inclination of the rake surface of the cutting tool from the reference plane (pR). This angle has direct and indirect effects on shear deformation, chip thickness, cutting force and power requirement, built up edge, etc.
The value of rake angle can be positive, negative or even zero depending on the inclination/elevation of rake surface from the reference plane. This value also affects chip deviation, metal removal rate, cutting life and tool strength.
A tool with a positive rake angle is sharper and more pointed, lowering the strength of the cutting tool. It also lowers the cutting forces and power requirements.
But it has the disadvantage of increasing machining time and chip formation. In addition, a tool with a positive rake angle may be susceptible to a build up of chips at the machining center.
This can lead to premature wear of the tool. The resulting wear and tear may result in a fracture.
The rake angle effect can be particularly detrimental for the middle teeth of a bucket because they are most exposed to wear. This is because they are the weakest point on the tooth and therefore the most likely to fracture.
In addition, the rake angle is one of the most critical parameters in the mechanics of machining, as it determines the cutting resistance between the tool and workpiece surface. If the rake angle is set incorrectly, it can cause chip flow problems and damage both the tool and the workpiece.
The rake angle effect is especially problematic in abrasive applications where the inclination of the rake face of the tool is highly variable and can vary greatly over time, depending on the amount of material removed. This can result in a significant reduction in tool life and machining performance.
Stress distribution
During the dynamic loading of a bucket, the bucket teeth tips are exposed to a large amount of wear and tear. This results in significant downtime and lowers the efficiency of the excavator. Therefore, there is a need to understand the wear behavior of the bucket teeth and how this can be reduced.
In this thesis, the stress distribution of the V13 bucket teeth loc was measured and compared to simulations. This study was done to better understand the wear and how this could be reduced by improving the design of the bucket teeth.
The stress distribution in the bucket teeth was determined by applying three orthogonal planes that passed through each tooth on a regular basis. This was performed by measuring the stresses that were developed during digging and loading.
There were nine stress components that were found to describe the state of stress at a given point, which is called the stress tensor. These nine stress components were then converted into a 3D scanned data.
This data was then analyzed using a finite element method. The result was a complete wear development cycle for each tooth that could be used to calculate the amount of wear and how this would change over time as the teeth were worn.
The results showed that the amplitude of stress was largely dependent on the direction of loading. The highest amplitudes of the stress were seen at the top and bottom of each cavity. This suggests that the crack initiation was centered at the top and bottom of the cavity.
Fatigue life
Fatigue is the process by which small cracks in a material or component initiate and grow under repeated mechanical loading, possibly to a final failure. This can occur due to many factors including material properties and operating conditions.
A material's fatigue strength or endurance limit is the amplitude of cyclic stress that can be applied to a material without causing a fracture. It is a function of the heat-treatment and surface condition of the material as well as the environmental conditions that it is exposed to.
The fatigue strength of a material is an important factor in the design of materials and components. It is generally a good idea to avoid exceeding the fatigue strength of the material or component as this can lead to damage that could be more expensive than necessary.
It is also important to understand the effect of varying load ratios on the fatigue life of a material or component. This can be done by using a fatigue test that simulates the number of loading cycles that a material or component can withstand under different load ratios.
There are a few different types of fatigue tests that can be conducted in order to determine the fatigue life of a material or component. They include S-N tests, which measure the amplitude of stress that a material or component can withstand over an extended period of time. These tests can be performed under a pulsating compression load, a pulsating tensile load or an alternating load.
In high cycle fatigue testing the relationship between life and stress amplitude is typically expressed in terms of a power law. It is often represented in the form of a modified Goodman reliability diagram (fig. 9.35).
The fatigue life of a material is an important consideration in the design of the materials and components that are used in a variety of industries. This is because a failure can result in a significant amount of money being lost. Moreover, a failure can have serious consequences for the lives of people.
