Design and analysis of trapezoidal bucket excavator for backhoe

Abstract

Excavator is the most multifunction heavy tool because it can handle other heavy tool such as sloping, dumptruck loading, and breaker. Usually, when doing excavation there is always possibility of breaking of pin in tooth adapter. The aim of this paper is designing bucket excavator using SOLIDWORK 2016 software and doing analysis with ANSYS R15.0 software using finite element analysis (FEA) method. This paper emphasize about the development that is done in the tip of excavator bucket teeth based on the calculation and ANSYS simulation with maximum shear stress result which is in the amount of 50,437 Mpa with maximum deformation level is being found at the part of excavator bucket head.
