Abstract
This study presents a 3D pick-rock contact calculation method for conical picks, aiming to develop a predictive method with high accuracy and lithological tolerance for peak cutting force (PCF). The method is based on the projection profile method and D. L. Sikarskie stress distribution function. By integrating Griffith’s theory with rock damage constitutive model, the energy relationship between the rock fracturing process and crack propagation process is analyzed. Furthermore, in order to accurately correct the PCF, the energy correction function (C-Kf) is proposed to calculate the damage intensity index (Ke), which accounts for the relationship between rock brittleness and rock damage elastic–plastic energy. To validate the method, it is compared with full-scale cutting tests and three existing models, and statistical analysis confirms its high lithological tolerance and accuracy, the present model has the highest R2 of 0.90404, which is at least 12.5% higher relative to the mainstream models. Moreover, incorporating Ke into the method further enhances its predictive capability.
