A fuzzy logic based predictor model for disc cutter chip production rate

Abstract

"The main objective of this research was to develop a disc cutter chip production rate predictor model by using fuzzy logic. The performance of three different disc cutters (wide, narrow, long bladed narrow) was assessed on a linear rock cutting machine used to limit the fundamental relationships governing chip weights for Joachim Limestone and Roubidoux Sandstone. An accurate and reliable prediction of the disc cutter chip production rate was derived using chip weights, cut length, cut speed, cutting forces, spacing and penetration, which are elements critical to successful planning and execution of mechanical tunneling projects"--Abstract, page iii.
