Approaches to simulation modeling of working processes of a rope logging machine for working on slopes

Abstract

Currently, due to a decrease in the volume of possible timber extraction in relatively convenient areas characterized by favorable natural relief, the development of logging technologies and appropriate logging equipment for work on steep slopes becomes an urgent technical and economic task. This paper discusses approaches to simulation modeling of work processes occurring in structural elements and systems of rope logging machines during their operation on steep slopes. The developed approaches can be used in the development of digital twins of logging equipment.
