DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED EXCITATION AUXILIARY CUTTING SIMILAR EXPERIMENT PROTOTYPE AND ITS MECHANICAL EXPERIMENT by LU JinNan, YUE JianGuang, XIE Miao, WANG PengFei

“…The experimental results show that during the same time period, when there is active excitation, the initial time for increasing contact force is 0.07 s earlier than when there is no excitation, longer duration, contact force is reduced by 0.12 kN compared with no excitation, after excitation, the average cutting current decreased by 1.12 A.Through the test bench based on Similarity theory, the active excitation vibration experiment and test can be carried out on the cutting arm of the road-header under limited laboratory conditions. …”
