Structural Analysis for Space-Swing Mechanism on Gyratory Compactor

Abstract:

Based on the automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems software, both rigid and flexible models of the space-swing mechanism for the superpave gyratory compactor are developed. The structural analysis shows that the length and the initial phase of cranks, and the assembling accuracy (coordinates) of some points are very sensitive relative to the waving of compaction angle. Greater rigidity helps stabilize the change of the compaction angles.
