Applications of EDEM for Construction and Mining Equipment Design

This eBook discusses the challenges linked to designing equipment intended to handle rocks, soils, ores and gravel. It introduces EDEM -bulk material simulation software- and explains how it can be used for the design, performance testing, and optimization of construction and mining equipment. The following topics are covered: - Challenges of designing heavy equipment handling bulk materials - What is EDEM simulation technology - CAE integration - Benefits of using EDEM simulation as part of the design process - Applications examples: dump trucks, excavators, dozers, loaders, grab buckets, and more - Case study: Increasing the operational performance of a truck load body at VR Steel
