METHOD OF CALCULATION THE STABILITY OF AN EXCAVATOR EQUIPPED WITH A CONE ROLLER
The construction and method of calculating the stability of a crawler excavator equipped with a new working body (cone roller) are considered. The calculation is made on two working positions (longitudinal and transverse) of the excavator, provided that the excavator must apply the maximum force on the working body at an angle of 90°. The force applied by the excavator boom to the cone roller during the introduction depends on the physical and mechanical properties of the compacted soil. The calculation method differs in that during the compaction of the roadbed, the cone sinks into the ground, and the excavator tends to roll in the direction of the rear track support roller, in contrast to the traditional danger of tipping over the front support roller when working with a bucket.
