Dynamic Response of Track-Mounted Advanced Support Equipment Under Different Working Conditions

Roof instability in the heading area of fully mechanized excavation roadways, together with insufficient coordinated operation between excavation and support, severely restricts tunneling safety and construction efficiency. A novel track-mounted advanced support equipment structure with an articulated curved roof beam is proposed in this study. Considering actual underground working conditions, including uneven roof contact, eccentric loading and local support failure, a three-degree-of-freedom dynamic model covering vertical, pitch and roll motions is established based on Lagrange’s equations. Dynamic characteristics under varying load amplitudes, excitation frequencies, static load offsets and typical support failure modes are systematically analyzed. The results reveal that only vertical vibration emerges under the full support condition, and the resonance frequency of the system is approximately 10 Hz. The maximum steady-state vertical displacement reaches 0.6406 mm with an RMS of 0.5472 mm under an intact support state. The pitch vibration amplitude caused by the failure of the first support group is three times that of the second group, proving front supports dominate anti-overturning capacity. Side beam failure triggers remarkable roll-coupled vibration, while middle beam failure mainly enlarges vertical displacement. This paper clarifies the vertical–pitch–roll coupling vibration mechanism induced by local support failure. Parameter sensitivity analysis reveals that static load offset has the highest sensitivity, while excitation frequency (within 4–6 Hz) and damping ratio exhibit negligible influence on the steady-state response. The obtained quantitative results can provide a reliable theoretical reference for structural optimization, stability regulation and safety monitoring of track-mounted advanced support facilities.
