Investigating multi-diamond grit interactions in sawing granitic rocks: crack propagation and material removal mechanisms
摘要
Granite is a material that is frequently utilised in architectural settings for decorative purposes, as well as in the fabrication of highly precise testing apparatus. Nevertheless, the high hardness of granite presents a significant challenge in terms of its processing efficiency when subjected to sawing into slabs. The material removal process is predominantly reliant upon the stress-driven effect of interwoven cutting of lateral cracks. In this paper, an modified crack length and depth model is proposed considering the Rayleigh wave velocity and crack propagation velocity of granite, the material removal mechanism and crack propagation were analyzed by experimental and theoretical models. The amplitude of principal stress, stress
