Research on Non-Random Vibration Analysis of Concrete Pump Truck Boom Based on Dynamic Excitation

When pouring concrete overhead, a pump truck boom’s vibration has a big effect on how accurately the concrete is poured. This is especially true during fixed-point pouring, where the boom’s vibration is likely to cause the pouring position to deviate, which lowers the quality of the construction. It...

description When pouring concrete overhead, a pump truck boom’s vibration has a big effect on how accurately the concrete is poured. This is especially true during fixed-point pouring, where the boom’s vibration is likely to cause the pouring position to deviate, which lowers the quality of the construction. It is difficult to forecast the dynamic reaction of the pump truck boom in a construction setting because of the constantly shifting external factors (wind speed, pipeline stress during pumping, etc.), which makes it difficult to guarantee casting accuracy. This study suggests a non-random vibration analysis technique for pump truck booms based on the interval process theory in order to address this issue. A dynamic excitation analysis method based on rigid–discrete coupling is proposed, taking into account the response influence of the material characteristics in the transportation process. The pumping process of concrete materials in the conveying pipeline is simulated using discrete element simulation technology to determine the system’s stress conditions under pumping conditions. The dynamic response characteristics of the pump truck boom under operating conditions are revealed by using non-random vibration analysis with the mathematical model that has been created based on the particular specifications of the pump truck boom. This study employs the Newmark-β technique for numerical computation to solve the dynamic equations and characterize the displacement response envelope under uncertain system parameter settings. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested approach may accurately capture the upper and lower bounds of the boom dynamic response, offering a trustworthy way to assess the dynamic behavior while pumping. The technique can reliably predict the dynamic displacement boundary and control the casting position deviation within a predefined range by accurately predicting the dynamic displacement range of the pump truck’s boom end and efficiently constructing the displacement envelope under uncertain dynamic excitation. For numerical computation, use the Newmark-β algorithm. This outcome confirms the substantial enhancement of the proposed method regarding pouring precision in construction settings, offering a novel solution and technical guidance for vibration control in engineering projects.
