Mechanical characteristics of a tunnel boring machine cutterhead during rock breaking: Physical model tests and transient dynamic analysis

During tunnel excavation using a tunnel boring machine (TBM), the interaction between the cutter and the rock causes the cutterhead to generate abrupt vibrations, which could lead to engineering problems, such as bearing seal failure and even cutterhead cracking. In this study, large-scale physical...
