Determination of the Bucket Wheel Drive Power by Computer Modeling Based on Specific Energy Consumption and Cutting Geometry

Starting from the general principles of material cutting, with applicability to coal and overburden excavation using bucket wheel excavators (BWEs), this paper proposes another method for calculating the drive power of the bucket wheel excavator by computer modeling. This approach required two steps...
