Prospects for Further Rock Cutting Mechanisms Development

Prospects for Further Development of Resource Ecology

Further Automatic Breakbeat Cutting Methods

Following the invention of an automatic breakbeat cutting algorithm in the style of early 90s jungle, further experiments are described. These are namely, the use of more advanced techniques to control choices in the original algorithm, and new algorithms for cutting including methods based on campanology and recursion. Automatic breakbeat cutting can reduce the effort of working by hand in a s...

Assessment of abrasiveness for research of rock cutting

Rock abrasiveness is ability of rock to wear down the working tool during the mutual interaction between the working indentor and the rock in the mechanical rock cutting process. The cutting indentor is worn down during the interaction, which changes its geometric dimensions causing the enlargement of a contact area between the tool and the rock surface. The changes in these dimensions conseque...

Excavation Technology for Hard Rock - Problems and Prospects

Civil engineering projects have greatly benefited from the mechanical excavation of hard rock technology. Mining industry, on the other hand, is still searching for major breakthroughs to mechanize and then automate the winning of ore and drivage of access tunnels in its metalliferrous sector. The aim of this study is to extend the scope of drag bits for roadheaders in hard rock cutting. Variou...
