To explore how the cutting parameters affect the conical pick’s cutting force in coal cutting process, some simulation tests were carried with EDEM based on analysis of coal cutting process of conical pick and micro mechanical characteristic of coal particles. In this paper, traction speed, drum angular velocity, and installation angle of conical pick were considered as the main coal cutting parameters. The discrete element simulations were conducted under 7 sets of various cutting parameters, which were determined in the range of empirical parameters. From the results of the simulation tests, it can be concluded that the fragmentation of coal particles appears in a compacted, squeezed, and crumbling state in coal cutting process; the traction speed has the greatest impact on the conical pick’s cutting force and cutting force fluctuation and the influence of drum angular velocity and installation angle reduce in turn; the force and force fluctuation tend to decrease and obviously increase, respectively, with the increase of drum angular velocity and traction speed; and they will reach the minimum when the pick’s installation angle is 45° under certain traction speed and drum angular velocity.

The new method of rock breaking based on the combination of circular sawblade and conical pick was proposed to improve the effectiveness of hard rock breaking. The numerical simulation method was applied to research the conical pick cutting arc rock plate by ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The conical pick cutting arc rock plate numerical simulation model was established to research the influence of arc rock plate structural parameters and cutting parameters on cracks formation and propagation of the arc rock plate and the cutting force in the process of conical pick cutting arc rock plate. The amount of cracks is positively correlated with arc rock plate thickness, the cutting speed, and distance of cutting point to arc rock plate central axis and negatively correlated with the cutting angle. The mean peak cutting force is positively correlated with the thickness of arc rock plate and the distance of cutting point to arc rock plate central axis; however, it is negatively correlated with the arc rock plate height and width and cutting angle of conical pick. The simulation results can be used to predict the conical pick work performance with various cutting parameters and structural parameters.

For the high speed cutting process of hardened 45 steel (45HRC), a finite element simulation of cutting deformation, cutting force and cutting temperature is finished with the large general finite element software ABAQUS. Through the building of geometry model, material model and heat conduction model, also the determination of boundary conditions, separation rule and friction condition, a thermal mechanical coupling finite element model of high speed cutting for hardened 45 steel is built. The serrated chip, cutting force and cutting temperature can be predicted. The comparison of experiment and simulation shows the validity of the model. The influence of cutting parameters on cutting process is investigated by the simulation under different cutting depthes and rake angles. The results show that as the increase of rake angle, the segment degree, cutting force and cutting temperature decrease. But the segment degree, also the cutting force and cutting temperature increase with the increase of cutting depth. This study is useful for the selection of cutting parameters of hardened steel.

In the machining of metal cutting, cutting tools are the main things that must be considered. Using improper cutting parameters can cause damage to the cutting tool. The damage is Built-Up Edge (BUE). The situation is undesirable in the metal cutting process because it can interfere with machining, and the surface roughness value of the workpiece becomes higher. This study aimed to determine the effect of cutting speed on BUE that occurred and the cutting strength caused. Five cutting speed variants are used. Observation of the BUE process is done visually, whereas to determine the size of BUE using a digital microscope. If a cutting tool occurs BUE, then the cutting process is stopped, and measurements are made. This study uses variations in cutting speed consisting of cutting speed 141, 142, 148, 157, 163, and 169 m/min, and depth of cut 0.4 mm. From the results of the study were obtained that the biggest feeding force is at cutting speed 141 m/min at 347 N, and the largest cutting force value is 239 N with the dimension of BUE length: 1.56 mm, width: 1.35 mm, high: 0.56mm.

The mechanized level of coal mining work is developing rapidly, the roadheader and shearer are the most important equipments. The conical pick acts on coal or rock directly, and its design and selection play an important role in the operational reliability of these equipments. However, the cutting force is the basis to design and select conical pick [1, . At home and abroad, many researchers attempted to establish the theoretical models for calculating the peak cutting force of conical picks. Evans used the maximum tensile criterion to set up the theoretical model for conical pick, and the model was widely used in the design of roadheader, shearer and so on in Europe and America [. Goktan et al. developed the presented model based on Evans theoretical model, and they given the modified model [. Okan et al. adopted the finite element method and the discrete element method to simulate the rock or coal cutting process to predicate the cutting force [. As mentioned above, the theoretical model is easy to calculate the cutting force, but the results have big difference with the experimental result due to simplify the relations between the cutting force and parameters. The numerical method is difficult to predicate the cutting force accurately, because the influence of rock or coal constitutive model, element failure criterion and boundary condition on cutting process. Therefore, the RBF Neural Network for predicating the cutting force was established base on a large amount experimental data in this paper. The aim is to predicate the cutting force accurately and reliably, and provide some basis to design and select the concial pick.

The conical pick is the most crucial tool of roadheader for breaking rock, establishing the conical pick cutting rock and conical pick fatigue life numerical simulation models to investigate the influence of cutting parameters on rock damage, average peak cutting force, specific cutting energy and the conical pick fatigue life. The research results indicate that the width and depth of rock damage increase with increasing cutting depth and cutting speed. The average peak cutting force and the specific cutting energy have the same changing tendency. The changing trend of conical pick fatigue life and conical pick stress is opposite relationship. The optimum cutting angle of the conical pick cutting rock is 45°. Applying the research results for guiding the optimization of the cutting parameters reduces the specific cutting energy and stress and improves the conical pick fatigue life.

The results indicate that the simulation results are in good agreement with the test and the theoretical results (the error is within 10%), the description of the variation law and influence degree of the cutting force, propelling and lateral force along with the pick cone angle and installation angle, the average gradient of three force variation, the ratio range of propelling force to cutting force (0.18~0.34) and variation tendency along with the installation angle and the cone angle. Positive or negative alternating direction of lateral force proves that cutting slots on both sides of coal rock existing non-simultaneous avalanche phenomenon in cutting process. The study provides the reference for the simulation of pick cutting and cutting mechanism broking coal and rock under considering the anisotropy of coal rock and beddings and joints.
