Abstract

The rock-cutting phenomenon can be considered a challenging problem from a numerical modeling point of view due to the complexity of the physics that comes from the interaction between the rock and the cutter. The present research was aimed at the presentation of a numerical simulation of the rock-cutting process based on the finite element method coupled with smoothed-particle hydrodynamics that was able to provide reasonable estimations of cutting forces for both shallow and deep cuts. Experimental scratch tests on the Vosges sandstone were utilized as modeling targets because all indispensable characteristics of rock cutting were encompassed by these tests. Five well-known material models, namely the soil and foam model (MAT_005), geologic cap model (MAT_025), concrete damage model (MAT_072R3), Johnson and Holmquist concrete model (MAT_111), and continuous surface cap model (MAT_159) in LS-DYNA, were calibrated for Vosges sandstone via the experimental triaxial and hydrostatic compression tests. The calibration process for the determination of the material parameters for each model was discussed in detail. Besides, the accuracy of each model was evaluated in predicting stress–strain behaviors of the rock both in compression and tension under different confining pressures. It was concluded that for Vosges sandstone, the model based on the calibrated parameters of MAT_72R3 is capable of proposing the most robust and reasonable predictions. Moreover, the calibration method can be widely used by occasional users in engineering applications of different types of geomaterials such as concrete, stone, and soil for convenient calibration of constitutive material models.
