外文原文： Fatigue in the shell of a conveyor drum Abstract The shell of a belt conveyor broke in operation due to fatigue in the area of the weld seam between the axle disk and the cylindrical shell. The investigation had to provide evidence whether an overloading of the drum, or a deficient design or fabrication lead to the failure. After the first damage hypothesis had been ruled out, two finite element models were built to compare the original design with the actually manufactured drum by means of nonlinear calculations. Based on the stress components of the ‘hot spot’ on the circumference, the service life of the drum was calculated for the given loading conditions. For the design according to the drawing, a sufficient service life was verified. The estimated service life of the failed drum corresponded with the effective operation time of the conveyer. High shear stresses contributed significantly to the deterioration. Since the realisation of the design proved to be problematic regarding the welding technique in the area of the seam root and at the shoulder of the axle disk, an optimised design was developed and proposed.

Introduction The shell of a discharging drum of a 2.6?km long conveyer in a mining site collapsed after 4400?h of operation. The conveyor delivered broken rock from a tunnel under construction. The belt was consequently cut by the sharp edges of two circular fractures and had been partially wound into the inside of the drum (cf. Fig. 1). The failure caused a long production down-time and high costs for the repair. Additionally, the possibility of a recurring failure for a similar installation was cause for concern.
