Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to streamlined project scheduling is a solid understanding of basic rock cutting mechanics. Comparing theoretical values with experimental and real-world results, Mechanical Excavation in Mining and Civil Industries explains rock cutting theories for chisel, conical, disc, and button cutters. The authors provide numerical examples on the effect of independent variables on dependent variables, as well as examples from real-life mining and civil engineering jobs. The book assists students and engineers in machinery selection and performance prediction, and discusses rock cutting mechanics and mechanical miners.
