Analysis of Excavator Bucket using ANSYS

Generally excavator buckets are made with solid steel. The analysis of excavator bucket lugs is carried over two steel alloy materials such 1.SM50A, 2.SCNCr2B. The main objective of this project is to select the metal which is suitable for the maximum life of the excavator bucket. The earth moving machine industries are rapidly growing as rapid growth in construction work confident through the day by day increased performance of construction machines. This paper gives focuses on the evaluation method of digging forces required to dig the terrene for light and heavy duty construction work, as well as society infrastructure developing work. This process deals the force calculation for required part in the excavator machine to calculate the life of particular part-excavator bucket and its failure. In progress the design of bucket with suitable material to give good fatigue condition as well as good life of particular part of excavator bucket lug.
