Conical pick wear is an urgent problem in the roadway excavation caused by hard rock difficult to break. The traditional method of increasing cutting power to improve cutting performance of conical pick significantly increases pick wear. In the paper, a saw blade and conical pick combined cutting method is proposed based on increased free surface. To research the fracture morphology and cutting force of rock plate, theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods are used. By theoretical research, the bending mechanical model of rock plate bending is established. The cutting position and the junction between the free sides and fixed sides are preferentially broken. A numerical model combining the erosion and damage constitutive model is built, and the cutting process of rock plate was presented. According to rock plate experiment, the peak cutting force increases with the increasing uniaxial compressive strength, thickness of rock plate, and cutting depth of conical pick and decreases with the increasing width and height of rock plate. Exponential relationships exist between peak cutting force and thickness, width and height of rock plate, and cutting depth of conical pick. Linear relationship exists between peak cutting force and uniaxial compressive strength. The size of rock fragments increases with uniaxial compressive strength, width, and height of rock plate.

Conical pick is a diffusely applied cutting tool in rock excavation in the coal-mining industry. In order to enhance the capability of conical pick, a new rock cutting method based on increased free surface is proposed. To research the peak cutting force and fracture morphology, ANSYS/LS-DYNA is used to establish the conical pick and rock interaction model. To obtain the fracture morphology of rock plate, eroding contact, erosion element failure, and damage constitutive are considered in the numerical model. Mechanical properties test and rock plate cutting experiment are carried out to guarantee and verify the correctness of the numerical model. The width and height of rock plate influencing peak cutting force and fracture morphology are studied, and the stable peak cutting force is defined. Lower width and height contribute to more fragments in smaller dimension produced during the rock plate cutting process. Besides, higher skew angle leads to more fragments. The peak cutting force decreases with the increasing width and height of rock plate while reaching stable peak cutting force, and it reduces and then remains stable with the increasing cutting position and symmetrical with skew angle of zero degree.

Conical pick is a rock cutting tool that is commonly used in roadway driving. Pick wear frequently happens in the course of breaking hard rock. The current paper shows a new method to solve the problem of pick wear. The rock is preslit with the saw blade and then broken by the conical pick. In order to study the cutting force and features of rock fragment, the numerical model is built between rock plate and conical pick. And element erosion is added in the code to obtain the fracture result. The rock plate cutting testbed is made to testify the correctness of numerical simulation. The width, height, and thickness of the rock plate, as well as cutting angle and cutting position, which influence cutting force and rock fracture are studied. According to the results, there exist exponential relationships between cutting force and width and thickness of rock plate. In addition, a linear relationship is found between the cutting force and the height of rock plate. Furthermore, both the cutting angle and cutting depth have an influence on cutting force. In particular, the factors of thickness and height or rock plate have the most obvious influence on cutting force. It is proven that what is beneficial to rock fracture is higher height and lower thickness of rock plate.

To predict fragment separation during rock cutting, previous studies on rock cutting interactions using simulation approaches, experimental tests, and theoretical methods were considered in detail. This study used the numerical code LS-DYNA (3D) to numerically simulate fragment separation. In the simulations, a damage material model and erosion criteria were used for the base rock, and the conical pick was designated a rigid material. The conical pick moved at varying linear speeds to cut the fixed base rock. For a given linear speed of the conical pick, numerical studies were performed for various cutting depths and mechanical properties of rock. The numerical simulation results demonstrated that the cutting forces and sizes of the separated fragments increased significantly with increasing cutting depth, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of the base rock. A strong linear relationship was observed between the mean peak cutting forces obtained from the numerical, theoretical, and experimental studies with correlation coefficients of 0.698, 0.8111, 0.868, and 0.768. The simulation results also showed an exponential relationship between the specific energy and cutting depth and a linear relationship between the specific energy and compressive strength. Overall, LS-DYNA (3D) is effective and reliable for predicting the cutting performance of a conical pick.

Cutting force is one of the most important influence factors that affect the efficiency and service life of the conical pick. In order to accurately calculate the cutting force, through theoretical analysis and experimental research, a cutting force model consisted of the basic fracture parameters of rock, geometric parameters and installation parameters of pick is proposed based on the coulomb-mohr criterion, and the calculation model is corrected by whole cutting experimental data, and validated the corrected model by orthogonal test, the result show that the error of the cutting force model is about 10%, which meets the requirements of engineering data. At the same time, significant analysis on the cutting force is obtained by range method, cutting depth h > semi-tip angle β > cutting angle α.

Because of its weak cementation and abundant pores and cracks, it is difficult to obtain suitable samples of tectonic coal to test its mechanical properties. Therefore, the research and development of coalbed methane drilling and mining technology are restricted. In this study, tectonic coal samples are remodeled with different particle sizes to test the mechanical parameters and loading resistivity. The research results show that the particle size and gradation of tectonic coal significantly impact its uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus and affect changes in resistivity. As the converted particle size increases, the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus decrease first and then tend to remain unchanged. The strength of the single-particle gradation coal sample decreases from 0.867 to 0.433 MPa and the elastic modulus decreases from 59.28 to 41.63 MPa with increasing particle size. The change in resistivity of the coal sample increases with increasing particle size, and the degree of resistivity variation decreases during the coal sample failure stage. In composite-particle gradation, the proportion of fine particles in the tectonic coal sample increases from 33% to 80%. Its strength and elastic modulus increase from 0.996 to 1.31 MPa and 83.96 to 125.4 MPa, respectively, and the resistivity change degree decreases. The proportion of medium particles or coarse particles increases, and the sample strength, elastic modulus, and resistivity changes all decrease.

This paper presents a methodology for determining the uniaxial and triaxial compressive strength of heterogeneous material composed of dacite (D) and altered dacite (AD). A zone of gradual transition from altered dacite to dacite was observed in the rock mass. The mechanical properties of the rock material in that zone were determined by laboratory tests of composite samples that consisted of rock material discs. However, the functional dependence on the strength parameter alteration of the rock material (UCS, intact UCS of the rock material, and mi) with an increase in the participation of “weaker” rock material was determined based on the test results of uniaxial and triaxial compressive strength. The participation of altered dacite directly affects the mode and mechanism of failure during testing. Uniaxial compressive strength (σciUCS) and intact uniaxial compressive strength (σciTX) decrease exponentially with increased AD volumetric participation. The critical ratio at which the uniaxial compressive strength of the composite sample equals the strength of the uniform AD sample was at a percentage of 30% AD. Comparison of the obtained exponential equation with practical suggestions shows a good correspondence. The suggested methodology for determining heterogeneous rock mass strength parameters allows us to determine the influence of rock material heterogeneity on the values σciUCS, σciTX, and constant mi. Obtained σciTX and constant mi dependences define more reliable rock material strength parameter values, which can be used, along with rock mass classification systems, as a basis for assessing rock mass parameters. Therefore, it is possible to predict the strength parameters of the heterogeneous rock mass at the transition of hard (D) and weak rock (AD) based on all calculated strength parameters for different participation of AD.
