摘要：EPB TBMs(Earth pressure balance Tunneling Boring Machines) are extensively used in tunneling constructions because of its high efficiency and low disturbance on structures above ground. It is critically significant to predict the thrust acting on TBMs under different geological conditions for both the design of power system and the control of tunneling process. The interaction between the cutterhead and the ground is the core of excavation, through which geological conditions determine the thrust re-quirement combined with operating status and structural characteristics. This paper conducted a mechanical decoupling analysis to obtain a basic expression of the cutterhead-ground interactive stress. Then more engineering factors(such as cutterhead topological structure, underground overburden, thrusts on other parts, etc.) were further considered to establish a predicting model for the total thrust acting on a machine during tunneling. Combined with three subway projects under different geological conditions in China, the model was verified and used to analyze how geological, operating and structural parameters influence the acting thrust.

摘要：推进速度是全断面岩石隧道掘进机(Tunnel boring machine,TBM)的重要设计参数。其值过小将降低机械的掘进效率;过大将引起刀盘的大幅振动,导致联接螺栓超常松动、引起主轴承塑性变形与断裂,严重影响施工安全。为确定推进速度的临界值,引入非线性弹簧单元模拟破岩过程中滚刀与岩石的相互作用,采用有限元法对刀盘掘进过程进行动态仿真,得到了在不同岩层中掘进时保证刀盘动力稳定性的推进速度临界值。所得结果可为合理设计TBM推进速度,有效控制刀盘振动,减少振动破坏,提升TBM的地质适应性和施工安全性提供参考。

摘要：针对挖泥船绞刀挖岩过程中绞刀切削力难以预测的问题,本文应用有限元方法建立了模拟绞刀挖岩过程的三维分析模型。采用罚刚度的接触约束算法确定绞刀与岩体的接触状态和接触作用力,利用扩展的DruckerPrager塑性模型以及包含单元删除功能的损伤演化模型模拟岩体变形及破碎,从而获得了绞刀挖岩过程中绞刀的切削力,并进行了实验验证。结果表明:绞刀转速恒定时,切削载荷和功率均随绞刀横移速度增大而显著增大;绞刀横移速度恒定时,功率随转速增大而增大,但切削载荷却有所下降;适当降低绞刀转速和提高横移速度有利于降低岩石切削比能。这些结果可为新型挖泥船绞刀设计提供参考。
