The hobbing-cone hybrid PDC bit has emerged with the increasing exploitation of deep oil and gas resources. As an important component of new bits, studying the mechanism of toothed fracturing of deep rocks is crucial for improving rock-breaking efficiency. In this paper, the spherical teeth and conical teeth were used to intrude sandstone under different confining pressures, and the brittleness index (BIm), specific energy (SE), and average fragment size (dm) were used to analyze the rock-breaking effect. The 3D contour scanner quantitatively analyzed the crushing pit area. Finally, the in-situ CT scanning and discrete element numerical simulation were used to summarize the crack propagation law. The results show that with the increase of confining pressure, the BIm of inserted teeth increases continuously, and the growth rate of conical teeth increases, while that of spherical teeth decreases. The SE and dm exhibit a symmetrical distribution with a confining pressure of 10 MPa as the axis of symmetry. When the difference in principal stress is 5 MPa, the SE is the lowest point, the rock-breaking efficiency is the highest, and the corresponding dm is at the highest point, but the curve trend is the opposite. When the stress difference is 5 MPa, it is conducive to propagating surface cracks, thus forming a larger crushing area and the highest rock-breaking efficiency. Based on CT results, the dense particle core is formed near the inserted teeth, and that of the spherical teeth is located below. In contrast, that of the conical teeth is located on the side, which is also the reason for the difference in crack propagation between different tooth shapes.

The deformation characteristics and patterns of interbedded tunnels with soft and hard strata significantly differ from those of tunnels in homogeneous surrounding rock, posing substantial challenges to tunnel construction. To address this issue, discreteelementnumerical software was employed for a systematic analysis of the deformation characteristics and patterns of soft-hard interbedded tunnels. The results indicate that the extent of significant deformation in soft-hard interbedded tunnels depends on the positioning of the soft rock layer. When the thickness of the soft rock layer surpasses the hard rock layer, the displacement and deformation area are large. Except for horizontal interbedded tunnels, all show asymmetric deformation characteristics. At the same layer-thickness ratios, there is no obvious linear relationship between the deformation of the arch crown and sidewall and the variation of the rock dip angle. The plastic damage area in the hard rock layer is smaller than that in the soft rock layer, and the main damage form is tensile fracture. However, the damage form in the soft rock layer is relatively complex, with more shear damage mixed with tensile damage. The results can provide valuable references for the design and construction of soft-hard interbedded tunnels.

Particle shape is an important factor affecting the strength and deformation of coarse materials in dumps. However, conducting research on particle shape in current laboratory experiments, and there exists no classification standard for the particle shape of the dump. Considering the project on high-bench dump in Jiangxi Province, based on the random particle construction method, this study determined the characteristic particles of coarse grain material in the dumping site by combining field investigation results, large-scale direct shear tests, and numerical analysis. Further, the influence mechanism of coarse grain content and characteristic particles on the mechanical characteristics of the dump were analyzed. The results showed that the increase in coarse grain content enhanced the irregularity of particle shape, increased the internal friction angle between particles, and reduced the cohesion of the dump. Moreover, with increase in the normal stress, the shear strength changed from insignificant to gradually enhanced, although the increasing trend slowed down. The constructed random particle model can well solve the effects of occlusion, nesting, and friction between particles that is neglected by the standard spherical particle model, and the fitting degree is better. The particle characteristics of coarse-grain materials in the dump were primarily block, strip, and flake. The three types of shape characteristics under low normal stress did not affect the mechanical properties of the dump. Further, with the increase in normal stress, the stress-strain curve reflected the shape characteristics and content of the dominant characteristics in the dump. Specifically, the block sample exhibited the dominant characteristics and the most content under the same normal stress, followed by the strip sample, with the flake sample exerting the least influence. The research results provide a theoretical basis for long-term safe operation, disaster monitoring, and early war

The tail entry of the Shanxi Mine No. 10103 working face is a gob-side roadway featuring a 25 m protective coal pillar that contains double-strata gangue. This composition poses a risk of instability and failure, which can endanger personnel safety and mining efficiency. To address this issue, a mechanical model of coal pillars containing gangue was constructed, and a combination of discreteelement modeling and engineering monitoring was utilized to reveal the failure mechanism and influencing factors of such coal pillars. The study offers a sound theoretical foundation for the support of coal pillars in gob-side roadways. Through an examination of the friction coefficient (f) of the coal gangue interface in relation to the Barton peak shear strength (tau max), it was determined that coal pillars containing gangue are susceptible to slip instability failure at the coal gangue interface when the normal stress (sigma R) reaches 20 MPa. The stability of coal pillars containing gangue was further analyzed using discrete element numerical simulation software, which identified key factors such as gangue hardness, thickness, location, and number of strata. Utilizing the outcomes of discreteelementsimulation, the FLAC-PFC coupling model was formulated to meticulously scrutinize the temporal and spatial progression of the deformation of the surrounding rock, as well as the features of its deformation and failure. As a result of this research, the implementation of the grouting cable + through layer bolt anchoring technique is proposed, wherein the bolt is inclined on both sides to traverse through the coal seam and gangue, thereby stabilizing the interface between the two.

The instability and damage of loess slopes under strong ground motion can be a complicated process, involving sliding, translation, and rotation, which makes the discreteelement method as a suitable theory to simulate such a process. Therefore, in this study, the particle flow code (PFC) is developed to simulate the instability and damage process of the loess landslide under strong motion. Based on field investigations and laboratory tests, the detailed identification of mesoscopic parameter was calibrated, and a 2D model was established. The results show that the slope surface tends to amplify the ground motion, resulting in the strong vibration of the soil on the slope surface. The slope shoulder is the position with the largest amplification coefficient of seismic acceleration, which is the key to the instability and failure of the slope. And, under the seismic force, the tensile failure firstly occurs in the slope upper part, and then the accumulation failure occurs in the lower part, finally a shear outlet is formed. Accordingly, high-frequency component of the Fourier spectrum increases with the slope failure. This study highlights the gradual increase in the difference between the first principal stress and the third principal stress, which destroys the inherent cohesive cements between particles, which is the main cause of slope failure under strong motion.
