A New Integrated Performance Forecasting Model of TBM

Abstract:

To realize accurate prediction of disk cutter performance and determine the crucial parameters in the design process of TBM (Full face tunneling boring machine), a new performance forecasting method of the circular blade cutter is presented, which integrates the parameters of breaking rock such as rock, disc cutter and construction. Furthermore, the second derivation in the process of breaking rock is considered, a new comprehensive performance forecasting model of the circular blade cutter is established based on the Coulomb-Mohr failure criterion. On the basis, the existed performance forecasting models of disc cutter such as Liner Cutting and CSM, and the performance forecasting model of disc cutter presented this paper are analyzed and calculated, according to Colorado linear cutting experiment. The calculation results indicate the prediction accuracy of the performance forecasting model presented in this paper is greatly improved, comparing with the existed models (such as CSM, linear cutting). Finally, the influences of the parameters (rock, disc cutter and construction) are analyzed, which provides for the overall design of TBM cutter and construction with some scientific basis.
