Numerical Failure Analysis and Fatigue Life Prediction of Shield Machine Cutterhead

This paper presents numerical failure analysis on cracking of shield machine cutterhead structure during a metro-tunnel construction. The stress intensity factors (SIFs) of surface cracks with different shapes and location angles were analyzed by a finite element simulation method based on linear el...
