Abstract

Dumpers are very important and complex systems, which transport ore in mine sectors from one place to another. Being costly elements, tires are critical components of dumpers. This paper deals with the minimization of the wear rate of dumper tires. Fuzzy logic is applied to achieve this objective. A total of 125 rules can be generated combining five levels of three parameters, viz. air pressure inside tires, load on tires, and velocity of vehicle. It is concluded that a few rules can be considerable in this present context.
