Wear load analysis of conical cutter crushing rock based on SPH to SPH interaction method

Wear is the main failure type for conical cutters. The main load causing its wear is difficult to measure in the test, and the existing simulation models cannot simulate the wear load. Thus, the three-dimensional dynamic model for conical cutter crushing rock is established based on the SPH-SPH interaction method to analyze the relationship between the cutting performance factors and cutter wear. The factors are taken into account such as the stress distribution of rock, kinetic energy and internal energy and displacement of rock, cutting load of cutter, stress of cutter. Then, it is studied that the effect of cutting angle on the cutting performance parameters such as specific energy consumption, rock avalanching, cutting load, load fluctuation, cutter tip stress and cutter side stress. Finally, the cutting angle selection reference of the cutter is given under different consideration factors.
