Mechanistic analysis of TBM cutterhead-ground interaction under mud build-up effect

IntroductionIn tunnel construction using TBMs, the complex mineral composition of strata and hydrogeological conditions often induce cutterhead mud build-up, which results in sharp increases in torque and thrust, thereby reducing excavation efficiency. Understanding the interaction between the TBM c...
