Summary
Students will acquire knowledge of earth work machines technology under various operating conditions, including solving related technology, capacity and performance calculations. Supporting themes: Natural large-scale work - systems and technologies of surface mining. Technology deployment of earth construction equipment - dozers, scrapers, graders, scarifiers, digging shovel, hydraulic excavator shovel, dragline, compacting machines, hydrodobývání and last but not least, the technology of work machines used in underground mining.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
A graduate is able to describe the various tools to analyze their activities and functions to evaluate their load, set out the parameters of technological systems and components in the complex and propose selected nodes or machine parts, especially from the point of view of technological processes.
