A Theoretical Model for Estimating the Peak Cutting Force of ... Springer
The peak cutting force (PCF) estimation plays an important role in the design of cutting tools for mining excavators. In most of the existing theoretical models for cutting force prediction, the PCF is often modeled as the force on the cutting tool at the moment when the rock fragment is formed. However, according to the theory of fracture mechanics, the PCF is supposed to occur during the ...
