Experimental study on the influences of cutter geometry and material on scraper wear during shield TBM tunnelling in abrasive sandy ground

When shield TBM tunnelling in abrasive sandy ground, the rational design of cutter parameters is critical to reduce tool wear and improve tunnelling efficiency. However, the influence mechanism of cutter parameters on scraper wear remains unclear due to the lack of a reliable test method. Geometry a...
