Multifunctional mobile complex of transport-technological machines for the Arctic

Abstract

The development of the Arctic shelf and the Far North is hampered by severe natural and climatic conditions, remoteness from the places of permanent human habitation, lack of infrastructure and vehicles adapted to such conditions. Taking into account the need to create new models and types of transport-technological machines, the unification of the structure is rational. The article briefly presents the essence of the concept of creating a mobile complex of transport-technological machines for the Arctic with a unified platform. To create this complex, the need for key types of transportation and technological works in the Arctic was analysed. The design of machines from the complex was carried out taking into account the functional designations, ergonomic requirements and technological features of structural materials. For the development machine construction were used the methods of computer modelling and finite element analysis. The article describes an experimental sample of a technological machine created using the unified platform. The presented results of experimental studies confirm the validity of the selected solutions, the feasibility of creating a complex of machines on a unified platform and the validity of the concept as a whole.
