MatDEM-based study of disc cutter force model in open TBM tunnels: Incorporating installation radius and synergistic effects

The prediction of rock cutting force is critical for tunnel boring machine performance and cutterhead design. This paper presents a novel model for rock cutting force prediction based on the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) model, which incorporates the installation position of disc cutters by introdu...
