Study on numerical simulation of rock breaking by PDC wear teeth cutting by Maosheng CAI, Hongbo WANG, Chunjiang ZHANG, Sai LI, Shuting CHENG

“…Conclusions: The force on a cutter with excessive wear is more complex and variable, increasing the risk of fatigue failure. In terms of tooth layout, it can be considered to place the auxiliary cutting unit behind the main cutting unit composite sheet and make its exposure height lower than the composite sheet, which can effectively reduce the load on the main cutting gear and reduce the probability of overload damage to the cutting gear. …”
