Abstract
A deep understanding of the mesoscopic damage evolution mechanism of tipped hob cutter in hard rock, as influenced by tooth structure parameters and working parameters, can assist in optimizing the tooth of tipped hob cutter and uncovering the failure conditions and mechanism of rock. In this paper, a series of numerical simulations of rock breaking by tipped hob cutter's tooth were modelled, calibrated, and analyzed to investigate the failure conditions and mechanism of rock by tipped hob cutter, as well as the effects of tooth profiles and working parameters on the fracture evolution of hard rock. The results show that the most efficient combination of tooth profile and Dp differs depending on the rock types. D-type teeth with a penetration depth of Dp = 3 mm are optimal for crushing granite, while A-type teeth with a penetration depth of Dp = 4 mm are suitable for crushing sandstone.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
