Some designs of the self-propelled tandem vibrating roller are reviewed. Consideration is given to design aspects of the vibrating roll with particular reference to bearings, lubrication and fatigue. Means for varying amplitude are also illustrated.
The ground/roll system subjected to vibration is reviewed and the effects of resonance and frequency shown. Information is provided on operational costs for a range of machines. Some aspects of ergonomics are examined for modern machines. Consideration is given to future trends in construction and some conclusions drawn.
