Excavators are used for many purposes. Some of these are digging, drilling, breaking
and demolition. A demolition excavator boom consists of 3-piece boom which is
different in form and construction from a 2-piece boom used in standard excavator.
The aim of this thesis is to design a demolition boom for hydraulic excavator with
operation weight of 30 ton. With this construction a higher reach is gained. Design of
the demolition boom consists of three stages. Firstly the mechanism design is
performed to determine the basic link dimensions. In the second step the structural
shape of the boom is estimated to perform static stress analysis. The EXCEL
program is chosen due to the ease of repetative calculations and applying the changes
in structure parameters. The demolition boom is modeled by PRO-ENGINEER, and
consequently the model is analyzed by using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in
MSC.Marc-Mentat. According to the FEA results the model is revised.
Keywords: Demolition Excavator, Mechanism Design, Structural design
