Introduction

Performed repair and reconstruction of bucket wheel excavators is the result of applied developed methodology of structural diagnostics; it includes computer based calculation by numerical finite element method and classic engineering procedure, and experimental measurements. Finding and solving the problem causes require the use of numerical and experimental diagnostics of element strength. Computer modelling and calculation of supporting structures (KOMIPS) uses the finite element method through static, dynamic, and thermal calculations of its supporting elements.
