Abstract

Numerical simulation on rock cutting by a TBM disc cutter was carried out using SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) code. AUTODYN3D, a commercial software program based on finite element method, was used in this study. The three-dimensional geometry of a disc cutter and a rock specimen were modeled by Lagrange and SPH code respectively. The numerical simulation was carried out for Hwangdeung granite for 10 different cutting conditions. The results of the numerical simulation, i.e. the relation between cutter force and failure behavior, had a good agreement with those from LCM test. The cutter forces measured in the numerical simulation had 10% deviation from the LCM test results. Moreover, the optimum cutter spacing was almost identical with the experimental results. These results indicate that SPH code can be successfully used had applicability for simulation on rock cutting by a TBM disc cutter. However, further study on Lagrange-SPH coupled modelling would be necessary to reduce the computation time.

본 연구에서는 SPH(Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) 코드를 사용하여 TBM에 장착되는 디스크커터에 의한 암석의 절삭과정을 모사하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 3차원 FEM 해석 상용프로그램인 AUTODYN3D를 사용하였으며 이를 통해 국내 황등화강암을 대상으로 총 25개의 절삭조건에 대한 수치적인 절삭시험을 수행하였다. 암석과 디스크커터를 각각 라그란지안 솔버와 SPH 솔버를 사용하여 3차원 형상으로 모델링 하고 두 개의 디스크커터가 순차적으로 암석을 절삭하도록 모델링 하였다. 수치해석과 LCM시험에서 측정한 디스크커터의 작용력은 오차 10%이내의 값을 보여 대체로 일치하는 것으로 나타났고 균열의 전파양상과 암석의 파쇄양상 또한 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 절삭된 최적 커터간격을 측정한 결과 LCM시험 결과와 일치하였다. 이를 통해 SPH코드를 사용한 수치해석기법의 적용성을 확인할 수 있었으나 해석시간을 단축하기 위한 Lagrange-SPH코드의 커플링에 관한 후속연구가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
