Delineation of cutter force and cutter wear in different edge configurations of disc cutters – An analysis using discrete element method

Engineering Failure Analysis, 2021
Abstract Disc cutters are used to cut the rocks in variable load conditions which results in cutter wear and failure. The wear of the cutter plays a vital role in the overall time cycle, efficiency and economics of tunneling projects. It changes the shape of the cutter, influences the cutting efficiency and has a detrimental effect on the annual cost

Studies on Rock-Breaking of Positive Disc Cutter and Edge Disc Cutter

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Based on TBM disc cutter layout, a rock-breaking model of positive disc cutter and edge disc cutter is built. Sequential rock-breaking of the two cutters under different parameters is simulated; rock fragmentation, three-axis force and energy consumption are studied; optimal rock-breaking condition with different parameters is determined; feasibility ...

Rock excavation by disc cutter

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1975
Abstract Partial factorial experiments have been undertaken to study the effect of changing the principal geometrical variables on the performance of disc cutters operating in both the unrelieved and relieved cutting modes. A simple mathematical model is proposed which, on the evidence of the experimental data, is found to provide a good description

Factors Influencing Disc Cutter Wear

Geomechanics and Tunnelling, 2008
AbstractDisc cutter wear in mechanised tunnelling has a strong influence on costs and performance in hard rock and soil materials. Wear is affected by several geological and technical factors. Several aspects have been considered in prediction models and case studies.

Layout design for disc cutters based on analysis of TBM cutter-head structure

Journal of Central South University, 2018
Studies to date have failed to consider gage disc cutters’ variable cutting depth and the constraints of cutter-head welds, and have ignored the coupling mechanism between the profile of the full-face rock tunnel-boring machine (TBM) cutter-head and the assembled radius layout of the disc cutters.
