Chapter 29 Verification of Virtual Prototypes of Mining Machines for Technical Criterion

摘要

Methods for verification of virtual prototypes of powered roof support and falling object protective structure (FOPS) for operator for technical criterion were presented in the paper. In the case of powered roof support resistance strain gauge measurements and geometrical measurements were used. Method of building of computational models and their further modifications for the purpose of comparison of results was presented. Potential reasons of differences between results of stand tests and results of virtual tests were showed. Virtual prototype of FOPS protective structure was verified with use of reverse engineering method (RE).
