A Study of Rock Cutting by Diamond Wire Saw Blade

초록

The process of rock cutting by diamond material is simulated with using analysis of LS-DYNA finite element. This paper presents a study for excavation of the rock utilizing diamond wire cutting tools. The greatest benefit of the diamond wire cutting is the vibration free extraction of rock. Compared to the conventional technology, this technology produce much faster cutting, less noise and easy installation. When the diamond particle is in contact with the base rock, the cutting force raises gradually. The diamond material is mounted on a steel body which is called beads, diamond materials are chemically attached with the surface of the beads. In this study, the base rock material is considered as a damage constitutive model. It is demonstrated in this paper that, by analysing the stress, strain and cutting force, one can measure the cutting depth in per rotation. In future research it could possible to analyse the diamond shape and arrangement on the bead to find out more efficient and time consumable rock cutting process.
