Effect of cutter and rock properties on the frictional contact in rock cutting with blunt tools

This research presents an extensive experimental investigation on the effect of both tool and rock properties on the contact stress and friction coefficient mobilised across the wear surface of tools in rock cutting. Novel results confirm the existence of three contact regimes elastic, elasto-pla...
