Effect of ceramic particle cell structure on compressive performance of composite cutter ring reinforcement for shield tunneling machine
In order to clarify the influence of WC ceramic particles'single-cell structure on the compres-sive performance of the honeycomb structural reinforcement of the hobbing cutter ring of shield machine,the three-dimensional spatial structure of the honeycomb structural reinforcement of the hobbing cutter ring with 36%WC particles in volume fraction(tetragonal,hexagonal,and octagonal)is designed using the drawing software,and the compressive performance of the reinforcement with different single-cell structure is analyzed by ANSYS finite element simulation.The results show that the ultimate compressive strength of the WC particles with volume fraction of 36%is 123 MPa for quadrilateral,125 MPa for hexagonal,and 121 MPa for octagonal,and the compressive performance of the ortho-hexagonal cellular reinforcement with volume fraction of 36%is optimal.
