چکیده
Original scientific paper Aiming at answering the questions of wear and failure of hob in the rock breaking process, the rock breaking process was simulated in different broken rock conditions by using finite element method. The relationship between normal force, lateral force, rolling force and time was obtained by rock breaking simulation analysis on the single edge disc cutter. The rock stress was analysed by setting different cutting depth when the stress reaches the maximum compressive strength of the rock. The best cutter space was also obtained in a certain depth by analysing the stress state of the cutter in different cutter space. The paper concluded with the effect of the disc cutter cross section shape on the wear. Therefore the study provided references for the wear and the optimized design of hob on Tunnel Boring Machine.
