This paper proposes a cutting head optimization method based on meshing the spatial position of the picks. According to the expanded shape of the spatial mesh composed of four adjacent picks on the plane, a standard mesh shape analysis method can be established with mesh skewness, mesh symmetry, and mesh area ratio as the indicators. The traversal algorithm is used to calculate the theoretical meshing rate, pick rotation coefficient, and the variation of cutting load for the longitudinal cutting head with 2, 3, and 4 helices. The results show that the 3-helix longitudinal cutting head has better performance. By using the traversal result with maximum theoretical meshing rate as the design parameter, the longitudinal cutting head CH51 with 51 picks was designed and analyzed. The prediction model of pick consumption is established based on cutting speed, direct rock cutting volume of each pick, pick rotation coefficient, uniaxial compressive strength, and CERCHAR abrasivity index. And the rock with normal distribution characteristics of Uniaxial Compressive Strength is used for the specific energy calculating. The artificial rock wall cutting test results show that the reduction in height loss suppresses the increase in pick equivalent loss caused by the increase in mass loss, and the pick consumption in this test is only 0.037–0.054 picks/m3. In addition, the correlation between the actual pick consumption and the prediction model, and the correlation between the actual cutting specific energy and the theoretical calculation value are also analyzed. The research results show that the pick arrangement design method based on meshing pick tip spatial position can effectively reduce pick consumption and improve the rock cutting performance.

Most of the existing energy-consumption models of machine tools are related to specific machine components and hence cannot be applied to other machine tools with different specifications. In order to help operators optimize machining parameters for improving energy efficiency, the tool tip cutting specific energy prediction model based on machining parameters and tool wear in milling is developed, which is independent of the standby power of machine tools and the spindle no-load power. Then, the prediction accuracy of the proposed model is verified with dry milling AISI 1045 steel experiments. Finally, the influence of machining parameters and tool wear on tool tip cutting specific energy is studied. The developed model is independent of machine components, so it can reveal the influence of machining parameters and tool wear on tool tip cutting specific energy. The tool tip cutting specific energy reduces with the increase in the cutting depth, side cutting depth, feed rate, and cutting speed, while increases linearly as the tool wears gradually. The research results are helpful to formulate efficient and energy-saving processing schemes on various milling machines.

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.

In order to further study the internal relationship between the microscopic pore characteristics and macroscopic mechanical properties of cemented tailings backfill (CTB), in this study, mine tailings and ordinary Portland cement (PC32.5) were selected as aggregate and cementing materials, respectively, and different additives (anionic polyacrylamide (APAM), lime and fly ash) were added to backfill samples with mass concentration of 74% and cement–sand ratios of 1:4, 1:6 and 1:8. After 28 days of curing, based on the uniaxial compressive strength test, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) porosity test and the fractal characteristics of pore structure, the relationships of the compressive strength with the proportion and fractal dimension of pores with different radii were analyzed. The uniaxial compressive strength prediction model of the CTB with the proportion of harmless pores and the fractal dimension of harmful pores as independent variables was established. The results show that the internal pores of the material are mainly the harmless and less harmful pores, and the sum of the average proportions of the two reaches 73.45%. Some characterization parameters of pore structure have a high correlation with the compressive strength. Among them, the correlation coefficients of compressive strength with the proportion of harmless pores and fractal dimension of harmful pores are 0.9219 and 0.9049, respectively. The regression results of the strength prediction model are significant, and the correlation coefficient is 0.9524. The predicted strength value is close to the actual strength value, and the predicted results are accurate and reliable.

This paper takes Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay subsea tunnel project as the research object to study the relationship among rock mechanical parameters and chiseling specific energy and abrasion performance. SPSS22 was used to analyze the correlation between the parameters. The results show that except for the low correlation with Poisson ratio, all the other parameters in the single factor correlation analysis have high R . By taking the chiseling specific energy and abrasion performance as dependent variables, taking each mechanical parameter as an independent variable, multifactor regression analysis and stepwise multifactor fitting were carried out; it was concluded that the abrasion performance was highly correlated with uniaxial compressive strength and integrity coefficient, and the chiseling specific energy is highly correlated with uniaxial compressive strength and softening coefficient. In the process of verifying the fitting models, it is found that, under the influence of quartz vein and microfissure in the specimens, the chiseling specific energy formula has a higher fitting value, while the fitting formula of abrasion performance has a higher reference value for the specimens in the study area.

This study evaluates rock properties for correlation of specific energy with penetration rate and bit wear rate. In order to achieve these objectives five rock samples were obtained from the study area. These samples were tested in the laboratory for uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength using 1100kN compression machine and point load tester respectively. Also, the mineral composition of the samples was determined by thin section examination. Bit deterioration was measured with digital vernier calliper at regular intervals. The specific energy was determined from field data using empirical equations. The results of the uniaxial compressive strength of the five rock samples varied from 165-320 MPa and were classified as having very high compressive strength characteristics. The point load strength index of the samples had values ranging from 5.50 – 10.67 MPa representing the tensile strength. The result of the statistical correlation matrix revealed that penetration rate and bit wear rate are dominant factors affecting the prediction of specific energy having high coefficient of correlation. The regression model had multiple coefficient of correlation of R2 = 0.893 which means that 89.3% of variation in specific energy could be attributed to variation in penetration rate and bit wear rate. Ultimately, computer programme DRILLING PROFESSIONAL 2009 was developed to compute penetration rate, wear rate and specific energy when necessary inputs are supplied. This gives quarry operators advance information on time of drilling and bit consumption.
