AbstractIncreasing drilling speed and efficiency of hard formation for deep and ultra-deep well is one of the international recognized drilling problems and key technologies to be tackled urgently. Particle jet impact drilling technology is an efficient non-contact rock-breaking method to overcome slow drilling speed, which has great development and application potential in drilling speed-increase of hard formation and deep well. High efficiency drilling technology and rock-breaking speed-increase mechanism in high temperature, high pressure and high hardness formations of deep and ultra-deep wells were mainly focused and keynoted in this paper. With extensive investigation of domestic and foreign literature, the working principle, key technical devices, deep-well-rock mechanical characteristic, unconventional constitutive model and rock-breaking mechanism of particle jet impact drilling technology were analyzed, which proved the feasibility and high efficiency for deep and hard stratum, and also, dynamic failure mechanism of rock needs to be elaborated by constructing the constitutive model with high temperature and pressure. Meanwhile, the major problems to be solved at present and development direction future were summarized, which mainly included: miniaturization of drilling equipment and individualization of drilling bit; optimization of jet parameters and the evaluation method of rock-breaking effect; establishment of mechanical property and unconventional constitutive model of deep-well-rock; rock-breaking mechanism and dynamic response under particle jet coupling impact. The research can help for better understanding of deep-well drilling speed-increasing technology and also promote the development and engineering application of particle jet impact drilling speed-increase theory and equipment.

In this paper, finite element software ANSYS is used to simulate a process of disc cutters of different diameter breaking rock, get the curves of the load of disc cutter of different diameter breaking rock and the curves of the stress exerting on the cutters when the disc cutters cutting different depth. According to the rock breaking mechanism of disc cutter, and established five kinds of disc cutter of different diameter broken rock finite element model, and the numerical simulation was carried out. The loads of disc cutters of different diameter breaking rock and the stress exerting on the cutters are different when the disc cutters cutting different depths. According to the result of the analysis, draw the curve graph of the load of disc cutter breaking rock and the stress exerting on the cutters when the disc cutters of different diameter cutting different depth. According to the curve diagram, the load of disc cutter of different diameter cutting a certain depth and the stress of exerting on the disc cutters can be gotten. The simulative result is instructive for improving the design of disc cutter parameters and improving the development efficiency.

Due to the inefficiency problem of the cut blasting in rock excavation and rock breaking, a shell radial shaped charge device was proposed based of the ideal of ‘cutting to slotting’ and it was validated through experiments. For this device, the shell materials are used to be shaped materials and multiple shaped ring is designed on the circular tube. It can not only reduce charge quantity but also raise the utilization ratio of explosive energy. After explosion, multiple radial shaped charge jets can be formed along the axial line in sequence and then the surrounding rock mass would be cracked. The crack network will be formed along with the further extension of the fraction under the action of quasi static loading of detonation gas. The shell radial shaped charge device was tested through the cut blasting model experiment. Experimental results show that the utilization ratio of blasting hole nearly approaches 98% with this device. The blasting efficiency and cyclical footage can be improved effectively and the cost of drifting can also be reduced.

In order to improve working efficiency of the tunneling process and extend working life of disc cutter, explore the impact of cutter spacing and loading for the cutter rock-breaking effect. With the theory of rock crushing, Based on the finite element analysis software ABAQUS, the process of disc cutter breaking rock is simulated, considering the adjacent cutters sequential constraints, then, to make sure two cutter space with the method of SE in experiment.The simulation results showed that the optimal cutter spacings were both about 80mm in the same loading and the sequentially loading, but the rock-breaking effect of sequentially loading is better than the same loading. The experimental data showed that the minimum specific energy of rock breaking is appeared cutter spacing between 80mm and 90mm. Thus, the correctness and rationality of the simulation was verified. The study is good for understanding the rock-breaking mechanism of double disc cutter and has a certain promoting value to optimize TBM cutter system.Keywords:TBM, rock fragmentation, ABAQUS, cutter spacing, sequentially cutting

This paper aims at providing a sound theoretical solution to auxiliary central hole and the cutting parameters. For this purpose, the forming mechanism of V-cut cavity for cutting blasting was performed based on the hypothetical rock breaking mechanism of V-cut blasting. A theoretical solution for increasing the critical depth of the auxiliary center cuthole and the criteria for increasing the cuthole diameter of various types of cutholes when the rock attributes, explosive properties, and cuthole dip angle are constant are proposed. (1) If charging length le < 0.75H/sin θ, no auxiliary cuthole is needed. (2) If 0.75H/sin θ < le < 0.75H/sin θ + (2∼4) × 0.1, a central vertical auxiliary hole is needed. (3) If 0.75H/sin θ + (2∼4) × 0.1 < le < 0.75(H/sin θ + Hi/sin θi), a shallow inclined hole is needed. (4) If le > 0.75(H/sin θ + Hi/sin θi), both the central vertical cuthole and the shallow inclined cuthole are needed. Meanwhile, the theoretical solution was verified by numerical modelling with ANSYS/LS-DYNA. Moreover, the field implementation of the V-cut and the auxiliary hole effectively improved the blasting effect in both efficiency and economy.

Cutterheads and disc cutters are the key components of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) used to fulfill the rock-breaking task. In order to study the variation and distribution law of cutting forces induced by disc cutters on TBM cutterhead, a finite element model of rock-breaking process is established based on the extended Drucker-Prager yield criterion for rock and then the excavating process of cutterhead is simulated. The simulation results show that: in the rock fragmentation process, the rock-breaking forces are step changing; with the increase of installation radius, the vertical forces of inner and face cutters increase, while the lateral forces decrease; with the increase of installation angle, the vertical forces of edge disc cutters decrease, while the lateral forces increase; the mean total thrust and torque of cutterhead are 5418.2 kN and 1624.4 kN·m respectively, the simulation results are verified by engineering data.
