Transportation Machinery

Description: The discipline studies various types of equipment used in transport. During the training, students study the principles of operation and design of various types of vehicles, their main parameters and characteristics, as well as the principles of safe operation. Modern trends and innovations in the field of transport technology are also studied within the framework of the discipline.

Amount of credits: 8

Course Workload:

Component: Component by selection

Cycle: Profiling disciplines

Goal

• It is correct technically and economically justified to choose means of transport, taking into account mining conditions, to carry out calculations of transport vehicles in order to select their optimal or rational parameters and modes of operation; carry out pre-project work on transport vehicles for the technology adopted at the enterprise and for mining operations.

Objective

• Creation of students' theoretical foundations in the field of transport vehicles; - obtaining knowledge about the designs of existing types of transport vehicles and their technical and economic characteristics; - the ability to calculate the productivity of machines and justify their choice for a given technological process; - acquisition of skills in the analysis of kinematic schemes and features of transport vehicles, in the operation of the main and auxiliary equipment.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• Knowledge and understanding of: - theoretical foundations in the field of transport vehicles; - designs of existing types of transport vehicles; - determining the performance of transport vehicles; - design of transport vehicles in accordance with the norms of technological design, the requirements of safety rules and technical operation.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• Understanding structures and definitions, the ability to apply knowledge of the features and procedure for calculating, selecting and designing transport vehicles.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• Formation of judgments: are able to integrate knowledge and deal with complex issues and formulate judgments based on incomplete or limited information on the application or development of new designs of transport vehicles, taking into account the social and ethical responsibility associated with the use of their knowledge and judgments.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• Communication: can communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and rationale used to formulate them on the operation of existing and the development of new designs of transport vehicles to specialists and non-specialists clearly and consistently.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• Learning skills: have the ability to use transport vehicles in the field of mining, selection of equipment and machine parameters for the productive work of a mining enterprise
