Abstract: the mechanism of rock fragmentation by disc cutters during tunneling is the key to the tbm (tunnel boring machine) performance. In order to study the characteristics of rock cracks in the rock fragmentation process, various numerical methods (FEm, FDm and DEm) were performed to establish the three-dimensional model. In this paper, coupled with Sph method the FEm method is used to simulate the...
