Study on the breaking process of jointed rock mass by disc cutters based on digital image correlation and infrared thermography [PDF]
Jointed rock masses are frequently encountered during the TBM excavation. To investigate the rock breakage mechanism of jointed rock mass by disc cutter and precursory information before rock failure, a series of indentation tests were performed on shear

Study on rock breaking mechanism of PDC bit with rotating module [PDF]
Abstract In view of the problems of low ROP, short bit life and high energy consumption of bits in deep and difficult formations. Basing on the 360°rotating teeth and disc PDC bit, a rotating modular PDC bit is proposed. The rock breaking efficiency of the bit is improved by “cross scraping” of the rotating module element (RME) and fixed cutting ...
