Abstract

The boom is the largest structural component of a dragline and is subject to severe fatigue loading and is also vulnerable to catastrophic failure. One important type of boom is composed of tubular structural elements. This type of boom structure is subject to fatigue damage at the connections between the tubular elements which are termed clusters. This paper discusses the nature of this fatigue damage, the strategies in place to defend the booms against catastrophic failure, the repair technologies in use and present and future investigations.
