Just as in the study of the vibration sinking process, we limit the steady periodic movement of the impact portion of the vibrating hammer to a period equal to the time of one revolution of the eccentrics. Besides the assumptions in Section 5, we introduce the following also: the impact between the vibrating hammer* and … Continue reading Immersion and Extraction Under the Action of Longitudinal Blows
The annular cross-section of hollow cylindrical elements reveals the possibility of using longitudinal and rotational oscillations when sinking these elements into the ground. Early experience showed that, in order to achieve breakthrough into the adjacent ground with pipes 146 and 273 mm in diameter, the amplitudes required if rotational oscillation is used were an average … Continue reading Immersion and Extraction by Longitudinal-Rotational Oscillations
As we treat the process of sinking and extraction by means of longitudinal vibrations, we shall restrict the stable periodic movement of the vibrating system to a period equal to one revolution of the eccentrics. Note: the following model was reconstructed, and is presented in the paper Reconstructing a Soviet-Era Plastic Model to Predict Vibratory … Continue reading Immersion and Extraction by Longitudinal Oscillations

1 Overview The development of impact-vibration equipment is both an outgrowth of and parallel to the industrial application of the vibration method for driving various objects into the soil, which began in the USSR in 1940. This served as the beginning of comprehensive studies on their exploitation indices and the investigation of the basic parameters … Continue reading Russian Impact-Vibration Pile Driving Equipment: Chapter 3, Research and Development of Impact-Vibration Hammers, and Appendices
CHAPTER IITHEORY OF OPERATION Compared to many machines, impact-vibration hammers are not especially complex; however, because of their interaction with the pile, their mechanics rival those of the diesel hammers in complexity. Thus, impact-vibration hammers are more complex to design, and attention to all theoretical details must be made even before the practical problems are … Continue reading Russian Impact-Vibration Pile Driving Equipment: Chapter 2, Theory of Operation
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1 Basic Description The term "impact-vibration hammer" refers to a type of vibratory pile driver that imparts both vibrations and impacts to the pile during operation. Such a machine is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows a diagram of the internal construction of an impact-vibration hammer. At the centre of the … Continue reading Russian Impact-Vibration Pile Driving Equipment: Chapter 1, Introduction
At one point or another in its history, Vulcan attempted to produce or market every type of pile driver made. Probably the persistently least successful type were the diesel hammers. Vulcan's failure to manufacture and/or market a widely accepted diesel hammer was a significant long-term problem for the company. Nevertheless diesel hammers are an important … Continue reading Vulcan Diesel Hammers
Vulcan's last foray into diesel hammers was, in many ways, one of the most interesting ventures in the company's history. It was certainly one of the most involved. In 1987 Vulcan first met with Russian (then Soviet) trade representatives in Washington concerning marketing Vulcan's offshore hammer line in the Soviet Union. It's interesting to note … Continue reading Russian Diesel Hammers at Vulcan: Series I and II
With Nilens gone and the LPG hammer unsuccessful, in 1978 Vulcan found itself without any kind of internal combustion hammer. It passed up the opportunity to purchase the Link-Belt diesel hammer line and attempted to develop its own. The effort that resulted was the IC-30/30D/33D hammer line. Vulcan's starting point was the Nilens N-33 hammer, … Continue reading Vulcan IC-30/30D/33D Diesel Hammers
