The Finite Element Simulation of Disc Cutter of Different Diameter Breaking Rock

Abstract:

In this paper, finite element software ANSYS is used to simulate a process of disc cutters of different diameter breaking rock, get the curves of the load of disc cutter of different diameter breaking rock and the curves of the stress exerting on the cutters when the disc cutters cutting different depth. According to the rock breaking mechanism of disc cutter, and established five kinds of disc cutter of different diameter broken rock finite element model, and the numerical simulation was carried out. The loads of disc cutters of different diameter breaking rock and the stress exerting on the cutters are different when the disc cutters cutting different depths. According to the result of the analysis, draw the curve graph of the load of disc cutter breaking rock and the stress exerting on the cutters when the disc cutters of different diameter cutting different depth. According to the curve diagram, the load of disc cutter of different diameter cutting a certain depth and the stress of exerting on the disc cutters can be gotten. The simulative result is instructive for improving the design of disc cutter parameters and improving the development efficiency.
