Analysis of Rock Cutting Simulation Using Finite Element Method

초록

Rock excavation technology is one of the main focus in the tunnel engineering. Tunnel is an important structure in modern days, as the reason of urbanization many infrastructure are constructing on the underground. Where tunnels plays an important role with subway tunnels, highway tunnels, railway tunnels etc. In this paper a 2D model has been adopted to analyze the rock cutting procedure with a cutter and a rock surface. Stress and strain has also been analyze to compare the cutting force with different strength of rock surface. Numerical simulation is the easiest way to compare the various states of rock cutting compare to the field test. This simulation result could compare with the field experiment to corroborate the statement.
