Innovative Construction Equipment Designs: Simulating Soil, Asphalt, and Rock-machine Interactions

Manufacturers of construction and mining equipment are continuously improving the capacity, quality and reliability of their machines and innovate to deliver solutions that are tailored to the demands of the customer market. One challenging aspect when designing construction and mining machinery relates to the range of operations and conditions that machines must perform in. Understanding the materials that the machines interact with and how material behaviour changes in different conditions is crucial for improving product, capacity, reliability, and efficiency.
