Rock damage is one of the key factors in the design and model choice of mining machinery. In this paper, the influence of rock damage on rock fragmentation and cutting performance was studied using PFC 2D . In PFC 2D software, it is feasible to get rock models with different damage factors by reducing the effective modulus, tensile and shear strength of bond by using the proportional factors. A linear relationship was obtained between the proportion factor and damage factor. Furthermore, numerical simulations of rock cutting with different damage factors were carried out. The results show that with the increase of damage factor, the rock cutting failure mode changes from tensile failure to brittle failure, accompanied by the propagation of macro cracks, the formation of large debris and a notable decrease in the peak cutting force. The mean cutting force is negatively correlated with the damage factor. Besides this, the instability of cutting force was evaluated by the fluctuation index and the pulse number of unit displacement. It was found that the cutting force was quite stable when the damage factor was 0.3, which improves the reliability of cutting machines. Finally, the cutting energy consumption of rock cutting with different damage factors was analysed. The results reveal that an increase of damage factor can raise the rock cutting efficiency. The aforementioned findings play a significant role in the development of assisted rock-breaking technologies and the design of cutting head layout of mining machinery.

Tbm Cutter

When TBM tunneling, the disc cutter directly in contact with the rock. The disc cutter is an important component of the TBM, so the numerical simulation study of disc cutter breaking rock process is established. The study contents disc cutter exerted vertical force on the rock. This is instructive for improving the disc cutter layout and improving the rock breaking capacity and tunneling efficiency. According to the rock Drucker-Prager plastic yield criterion lines and rock mechanical properties, finite element model of rock breaking by disc cutter was established by ANSYSWORKBENCH software and process of rock cutting with disc cutter was simulated. The rock elastic-plastic deformation occurred in the disc cutter effect, caused accumulation of rock damage, when the rock breaks completely damaged, get the vertical force exerted on the disc cutter, which is significance for the disc cutter layout and the calculation of force of TBM cutter breaking rock.
