Course Objective

This course will firstly deal with histıric development of mechanized excavation, mechanized excavation techniques and various cutters used in mechanized excavation. Then it will handle the design parameters of wedge-type cutters, the wear rates in wedge-type cutters. It will also discuss the design of cutter types in full-face boring machines and in shearer-loaders. Finally, it will explain the disc-type cutters in boring machines, comparison of cutters and also the determination of diggability in rocks.
