The rock damage mechanism of combined rock breaking with saw blade and conical pick

Abstract

Abstract The combined rock breaking method with the saw blade and conical pick is proposed to improve the rock breaking efficiency. The numerical simulation of combined rock breaking with the saw blade and conical pick is established to investigate the rock damage mechanism. And verified and modified the numerical simulation model with the rock breaking comprehensive test bench, the quantitative analysis error is less than 0.05, indicated quantitative analysis system is accuracy. The result indicated that the cutting parameters of the saw blade and conical pick affect the rock damage. And the cutting parameters of conical pick and structural parameters of rock plate have been studied to influence rock breaking volume. The research result could help optimize the cutting parameters of the saw blade and conical pick to improve the rock breaking efficiency.
