Abstract
The parameters of the pre-cut kerf as the free surface on rock material have an important influence on the rock-breaking force of the disc cutter of TBM. The rock-breaking force of the disc cutter can be simplified as the normal penetration load of the metal indenter. In order to study the effect of the pre-cut free surface parameters on the penetration load, orthogonal experiments and response surface tests were carried out on sandstone and granite samples, and extreme deviation analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed. The results showed that: (1) the order of priority of the factors affecting the penetration load of the disc cutter was Kerf depth > Kerf spacing > Kerf angle. (2) The fitting degree of the regression equation for the predicted values of the penetration loads of the sandstone and granite samples was R2 (Sandstone) = 0.9810 and R2 (Granite) = 0.9995, respectively, indicating that there was a good fit between the measured and predicted values of the penetration load of the two samples.
