Abstract
This study aimed to simulate curved excavation using a tunnel boring machine (TBM) steering system based on the proposed mathematical methodology applied in a TBM simulator. We introduce the concept and mechanism of the TBM steering system and describe the mathematical formulae used for simulating curved excavation. Curved excavation in the top- right direction was simulated using a Python program to verify the mathematical formulae. In addition, Python simulations were undertaken to determine the effects of horizontal and vertical articulation angles on pitching and yawing angles. Finally, the proposed mathematical formulae were applied in the TBM operation simulator, and tested based on the mechanism of the TBM steering system.
期刊介绍:
Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417) provides an advanced forum on all aspects of applied natural sciences. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation or experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary electronic material.
