The study of the dynamics of the elastic-mass system of the movable base of an electric furnace for firing thermally activated

The article reviews the results of the research carried out on the properties of a special elastic element of a furnace platform with a movable base. An analytical model of its movement is developed. The model is differed by an inclined "skeletal" curve of its amplitude-frequency characteristic. The research of the dynamics of the elastic-mass system of the platform with a one-sided elastic element in the form of a flattened elastic ring was carried out. The element provides a marked nonlinear elastic characteristic of the system. It was confirmed that the system performs non- symmetric vibrations with peak values of vibration acceleration 5.17 and 1.17 m/s2 corresponding to the extreme positions and differing by four and a half times. The effect of vibratory transportation of bulk material along the horizontal surface of the movable base of the furnace platform in the thermal field of its heating system has been confirmed.
