ExtendSIM Software Dynamic modeling of real-world processes Uses building blocks to explore processing steps Benefits Easy to use Inexpensive MS-Windows environment Handles both Discrete and Deterministic Models
3
Discrete and Deterministic Discrete Events Probabilistic method Maintenance, Loading, Dumping Deterministic First Principles Truck movement – Fuel consumption – Tire temperature Fuzzy Models (A.I.) Road conditions (rolling resistance and traction) Tire wear Driver behaviour (velocity, acceleration, reaction time)
4
Fuzzy Road Conditions Rolling Resistance varies from 2.5% to 3.5% Traction varies from 0.44 to 0.55 Value depends on schedule for grader and water truck and rain/snow intensity/duration
5
Rolling Resistance Fuzzy Model
6
Conventional Approach to Tire Wear All tire suppliers use the TKPS (TMPS) method Tonnes-Kilometers per Hour Actually, this is simply an Alarm System If TKPH is exceeded on a real-time basis, the truck is prevented from operating in 5 th gear to restrict velocity A better method would be to monitor tire temperature and pressure in real time
7
Real-time Measurement of Tire Temperature External chassis-mounted IR temperature sensor Temperature sensor embedded in tire tread External sensor subject to ambient conditions (shade/sun) Embedded sensor can wirelessly send data to on-board computer
8
Tire Temperature Decline (until T tire = T atm ) Dynamic calculation every 100 msec Tire load and speed determine temperature change Temperature drop by ambient heat loss: ΔT d = (T atm – T tire )·e -k d t where ΔT d = temperature decline (°C) T atm = ambient temperature (°C) T tire = current tire temperature(°C) k d = heat transfer coefficient (1.6 x 10 -4 ) t= time step (seconds)
9
Tire Temperature (continued) Temperature increase due to load and velocity: ΔT i = K T (1 – e -k i t ) – ΔT d whereΔT d = temperature increase (°C) K T = 8.344 x 10 -3 (P + GMW)V k i = 6.836 x 10 -7 (P + GMW)V 2 t= time step (seconds) ΔT d = temperature decline (°C) P= payload (tonnes) GMW= gross machine weight + fuel (tonnes)

Tire Temperature Change
11
Tire temperature cycles (14.7% idle time) Velocities = 16 kph loaded / 32 kph empty
12
Tire temperature cycles (9.3% idle time) Velocities = 16 kph loaded / 32 kph empty
13
Tire temperature cycles (9.3% idle time) Velocities = 19 kph loaded / 38 kph empty

Tire wear rate reported by Miller Rubber Co. in 1928 Popular Mechanics, (1928). Burning 'em Up, June, 49(6), p.938-942. (Miller Rubber Co. graph, p.940) Wear rate as a function of tire temperature

16
Wear Rate = 21.699V 2 e -7,106/RT + 11,931Ve -8,621/RT There are two terms in the equation: First term relates to Energy flow through the tire Second term relates to force (momentum of tire) Wear rate as a function of tire temperature

Miller Tire Calculated wear rate = 0.274 mm / 10,000 km @ 15 kph and 45 °C Calculated wear rate = 0.528 mm / 10,000 km @ 25 kph and 45 °C Estimated Load (Miller tire) = 2.44 kg/cm 2 Load (CAT793) - full = 4.44 kg/cm 2 Load ratio = 1.82 Load (CAT793) - empty= 2.00 kg/cm 2 Load ratio = 0.82 Tire surface element contact ratio = 1.22 Road surface condition ratio = 12.5 CAT 793D Travelling fully-loaded= 0.274 x 1.82 x 1.22 x 12.5 = 7.61 mm / 10,000 km Travelling empty= 0.528 x 0.82 x 1.22 x 12.5 = 6.69 mm / 10,000 km Scale-up to a Haulage Truck tire
