Residual life estimation of components of hydraulic support in service

In view of problem that existing hydraulic support life estimation method rarely consider continuous performance decline of hydraulic support in use process and leads to great error, a residual life estimation method of components of hydraulic support in service was proposed. Components S -N curve was obtained by correcting material S -N curve through introduction of surface coefficient, structural size coefficient and welding impact coefficient. Then the components S -N curve was used for life estimation according to cumulative damage theory, residual damage capacity and stress spectrum. Multi-level fuzzy evaluation method was used to evaluate the state of hydraulic support roof beam, and overall life coefficient was multiplied by the estimated life to get the residual life of the components of hydraulic support in service. The experimental results show that the estimation error of the proposed method is 3.52% and the precision is high.
