A study on the improvement of the digging load capacity of an excavator by CAD technique

CAD에 의한 엑스카 베이터(excavator)의 굴삭능력 향상에 관한 연구

In order to improve the digging load capacity of a domestic excavator model. computer aided design(CAD) technique was applied to the optimum design of the excavator boom. From this study, the digging load capacity of both the bucket cylinder and the dipperstick cylinder could be made about same and the overall digging load capacity could be increased by about 50%, also, the computer program package developed in this study can be flexibly applied to the design of other construction machines by changing and/or adding a few subprograms and the input data.
