The main aim of this paper is to study the material removal phenomenon using the finite element method (FEM) analysis for orthogonal cutting, and the impact of cutting speed variation on the chip formation, stress and plastic deformation. We have explored different constitutive models describing the tool-workpiece interaction. The Johnson-Cook constitutive model with damage initiation and damag...

The paper presents a new microplane constitutive model for the inelastic behavior of jointed rock masses that takes into account the mechanical behavior and geometric characteristics of cracks and joints. The basic idea is that the microplane modeling of rock masses under general triaxial loading, including compression, requires the isotropic rock matrix and the joints to be considered as two d...

In rock drilling, bit wear is a major factor in determining bit life, the cost of drilling and may significantly influence the drilling method selected for given rock type. Effective control of bit wear can yield significant cost savings. Prediction of cuttability or drillability requires an understanding of the cutting action and the mode of wear and their interaction with the rock propertiesW...

A study was conducted of the fire ignition potential of high-speed disk cutting saws (hotsaws). Surface temperature increases for the operating saw blade were measured during normal cutting and when stopping the disk using friction against a stump. Observed temperature increases during normal operation were as high as 17◦ C above ambient. Tooth temperatures tended to be highest, but were not ob...

due to the importance of weed control and the limitations of mechanical methods in some places, in this research the water jet cutting for weed control was investigated. the cutting tests were performed on camel thorn weed in shahid bahonar university of kerman. the water jet pressure of 90 bars was achieved with the aid of a suitable pump. the cutting time was studied in a completely randomize...

This article reports the effects of various artificial aging methods and lubrication modes (dry, mist, wet) on the recorded cutting forces and chip morphology in drilling Al-Si-Mg (A356) cast alloys. In the course of this work, the work part sampled were as-received alloy (T0), solution heat-treated alloy (SHT) and then aged alloys at 155°C, 180°C, and 220°C (T4, T6, T61, T7), respectively. The...

Abstract The use of asymmetrical disc tools for the mining hard and very rocks is a promising direction developing mechanical methods. A significant obstacle in methods with asymmetric lack adequate computational deep understanding rock–tool interaction can develop industrial applications significantly. fundamental problem designing work systems analytical models to identify tool loads during p...

In this paper, numerical simulations of circular boreholes under internal hydraulic pressure are carried out to investigate the energy transferred to the surrounding rock and the breakdown pressure. The simulations are conducted by using a micromechanical continuum damage model proposed by Golshani et al. (2006). The simulation results suggest that the borehole breakdown pressure and the energy...

Abstract In order to improve the cutting efficiency of roadheader and address challenge monitoring load head pick, a simulation method was proposed using ABAQUS finite element software simulate at different depths under various conditions. According coal test, model developed Drucker-Prager as constitutive conical pick coal. The results analysis were compared with test results, reliability form...
