Computational Dynamic Analysis Of Single-Mass Freely Shaking Conveyers With Centrifugal Vibration Exciter

Single-mass freely shaking (vibrational) conveyers with a centrifugal vibration exciter transmit their load based on the jumping method. The trough is oscillated by a common unbalanced-mass driver. This vibration causes the load to move forward and upward. The moving loads jump periodically and move forward with relatively small vibration. The movement is strictly related to the vibrational parameters. This is applicable in laboratory conditions in the industry that accommodate a few grams of loads, up to those that accommodate tons of loading capacity. In this study, the variation of motional parameters has been represented graphically using the software Mathematica with respect to i) vibrational parameters, ii) parameter of the unbalanced mass, iii) operation mode, iv) friction coefficient, and v) angle of attack. The proper parameters for the transport of the numerous loads and the transportation velocity can be chosen with the help of the graphics. The results obtained in this study have been compared with the experimental results in the pertaining literature, and have been found to be well matched.
