Abstract:

Shield cutterhead is the key part of tunneling construction machinery. Because the cutterhead can cut the front soil by the cutter on the cutterhead, it’s of great significance for the design of the cutterhead to research the dynamic process of cutter cutting. With using extended Drucker-Prager constitutive model and damage model which has element removing function, the properties of soil material can be simulated more practically. The results also provide a simulation method of soil material on researching cutterhead tunneling process. Combined with finite element dynamic contact characteristics, it is obtained the regulation of cutting force changing with time and cutting force value in the process of cutter cutting. The results also offer a engineering parameters for researching the load state of cutterhead tunneling.
