Vibration measurement and modal analysis for tunneller

In this paper, the method of vibration measurement and modal analysis for AM50 Tunneller machine is presented. When the machine was used for cutting man made coal bed and real coal bed, the vibration of the machine was measured and the results of signal analysis show that the vibration characteristics under the two kinds of working situations are similar. The modal model of the machine is established, and then, the intrinsic vibration characteristics of AM50 tunneller are investigated by means of the method of experimental modal analysis. The vibration response simulation under a set of loading spectra measured is carried out by force response simulation software.
