Water content is an important factor affecting the rock-breaking efficiency of tunnel boring machine (TBM) disc cutters. However, limited efforts have been made to study the fracturing mechanism of sandstone excavation by TBM disc cutters under varying water content conditions. To investigate the breakage behavior of water-soaked sandstone by TBM disc cutters, five sets of penetration tests on sandstone specimens with different water content levels were performed. The tests were conducted using a modified RYL-600 computer-controlled rock shear rheometer. An acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system was utilized throughout the entire process to track the AE activity of the specimens. The force–depth curves of the penetration process at various water content levels were investigated. The effects of water content on AE characteristics, rock fracture properties, and specific energy were analyzed. The results indicate that AE activity can be divided into three stages: quiet period, slow rise period, and active period. With increasing water content, peak penetration force, consumed energy, and specific energy decrease gradually, while chip volume increases. Water promotes mutual penetration of surface and internal cracks of the specimen, resulting in the formation of larger chip volumes. These findings provide theoretical guidance for designing and improving TBM cutter head parameters in water-rich soft rock formations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
