Numerical Simulation of the Influence of the Distance between the Diamond Sawblade and Free Surface on Cutting Performance

Figure 10

The curves of the force of the diamond sawblade cutting rock at fixed depth and the distance between the sawblade and rock free surface. (a) Variation curve of average cutting force and the distance between the sawblade and free surface. (b) Variation curve between average normal force and distance between the sawblade and rock free surface. (c) Variation curve between average tangential force and distance between the sawblade and free surface. (d) Variation curve between average axial force and the sawblade to rock free surface.
