The three-dimension model for the rock-breaking mechanism of disc cutter and analysis of rock-breaking forces

摘要

To study the rock deformation with three-dimensional model under rolling forces of disc cutter,by carrying out the circular-grooving test with disc cutter rolling around on the rock,the rock mechanical behavior under rolling disc cutter is studied,the mechanical model of disc cutter rolling around the groove is established,and the theory of single-point and double-angle variables is proposed.Based on this theory,the physics equations and geometric equations of rock mechanical behavior under disc cutters of tunnel boring machine (TBM) are studied,and then the balance equations of interactive forces between disc cutter and rock are established.Accordingly,formulas about normal force,rolling force and side force of a disc cutter are derived,and their validity is studied by tests.Therefore,a new method and theory is proposed to study rock- breaking mechanism of disc cutters.
