Research on the Structural Rigidity Characteristics of a Reconfigurable TBM Thrust Mechanism
Abstract To improve the adaptability of TBMs in diverse geological environments, this paper proposes a reconfigurable Type-V thrust mechanism (V-TM) with rearrangeable working states, in which structural stiffness can be automatically altered during operation. Therefore, millions of configurations c...
