A working design of a bulldozer blade as additional equipment of a compaction drum roller

Abstract

The main purpose of the performed works was to develop a concept of a bulldozer blade mounted to the road roller. The paper presents the main assumptions, design stages, results of strength analyses of the blade, which can be used in a road roller. Because the elements that push the components of machines operating on construction sites, in mines and in the agricultural environment, the elaborated element would enable wider use of the roller. Based on the FEM analyses, it has been confirmed that the developed load bearing structure is characterized by full operating strength. The designed blade meets the initial assumptions and can be used as equipment of heavy machines.
