Finite element modelling of rock mass cutting by cutters for PDC drill bits

A finite element model of the process of polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bit cutters cutting rocks was built, and the rock linear and circular cutting processes for different shapes of PDC drill bit cutters were simulated. The following initial data was stated before modelling: spatial f...
