Mechanistic analysis of TBM cutterhead-ground interaction under mud build-up effect
IntroductionIn tunnel construction using TBMs, the complex mineral composition of strata and hydrogeological conditions often induce cutterhead mud build-up, which results in sharp increases in torque and thrust, thereby reducing excavation efficiency ...

Rule for scaling shoulder rotation angles while walking through apertures. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: When an individual is trying to fit into a narrow aperture, the amplitude of shoulder rotations in the yaw dimension is well proportioned to the relative aperture width to body width (referred to as the critical ratio value).
