Development of an Expert System for the Prediction of the Performance of Bucket-Wheel Excavators Used for the Selective Mining of Multiple-layered Lignite Deposits

摘要: The performance of bucket-wheel excavators used for the selective mining multiple-layered lignite deposits is mainly determined by physical and mechanical properties excavated material (digability parameters), as well thickness inclination layer. lack sufficient information regarding diggability layers during mine design stage results in a poor estimation excavator’s performance. Such inaccurate could lead to inappropriate equipment selection. possibility prediction excavator using an expert system was investigated present study. development based on existing boreholes’ data related waste layers, their geological descriptions experiential knowledge about excavators.
