Although rock excavation is necessary for the effective utilization of urban space, most conventional rock excavation methods, including the blasting method, cause high noise and vibration. Meanwhile, if a high pressure waterjet system is applied to excavate underground spaces in urban areas, the public grievance can be reduced by low noise and vibration. In this study, an abrasive waterjet system is designed and developed to study the influence of various performance parameters such as jet pressure, nozzle traverse speed, stand-off distance, or abrasive feed rate on waterjet excavation performance in laboratory. Using the developed waterjet system, rock drilling characteristics are identified by measuring drilling depths as a function of the jet exposure time. The drilling depth linearly increases with increasing the jet exposure time(under 60sec). Rock cutting characteristics are also obtained with various jet pressures(1600~3200kg/$cm^2$) and nozzle traverse speeds(1.9~14.1mm/s): The cutting depth is nonlinearly related to the jet pressure and traverse speed. Indeed, the cutting depth increases with an increase in the jet pressure and a decrease in the nozzle traverse speed. This trend can be explained by energy transferring/loss mechanism.

Among the non-traditional machining methods, Abrasive waterjet machining process shows big promise in drilling difficult-to-machine materials due to its numerous advantages such as absence of heat affect zone and thermal distortion. Acoustic emission signal technique is used to understand about material removal mechanisms during abrasive waterjet drilling process. More information about the drilling process is derived through frequency decomposition of auto regressive moving average modeling representing acoustic emission signals.

Abrasive waterjet(AWJ)은 가공시 열에 의한 가공경화가 없기 때문에 유리, 세라믹, 타이타늄및 금속복합재료와 같은 난삭재의 가공기술로 사용이 증가되었다. Acoustic emission(AE)신호에 의한 AWJ 세라믹 drilling가공시 On-Line Monitoring의 가능성이 고찰되었다. 기계 적인 물성이 서로 상이한 3종류의 세라믹이 본 연구에서 사용되었으며, AE신호는 AWJ drilling의 깊이를 monitoring하는데 유용함을 알 수 있었고 또한 세라믹의 material removal mechanisms을 규명하였다.

Waterjets for rocks have various advantages of the non-contact and eco-friendly excavation using only water and abrasive. To overcome the problems (e.g., dust and noise occurrence) of the conventional drilling methods, waterjet excavation methods are broadly used. It is advantageous to operate a couple of nozzles in order to increase the waterjet excavation efficiency. When multiple nozzles are used, it is essential to analyze the excavation performance and shape according to the nozzle operation method. In this study, nozzle angle, horizontal distance between nozzles, and standoff distance were defined as nozzle operating parameters and the excavation performance and shape were analyzed. As a result of the experiment, when the nozzle angle and standoff distance are increased, the excavation depth is decreased and the effective depth tends to be increased. In addition, based on the experimental results, the excavation shape criteria required for nozzle insertion were proposed and optimal nozzle operating parameters were derived according to the criteria. This study result is expected to be used as useful basic research in the future development of multiple waterjet nozzles for rock drilling.

어브레시브 워터젯을 이용한 Drilling시 깊이에 대한 예측은 가장 중요한 변주중의 하나다. 이 논문에서는 구멍 깊이의 예측 및 구멍 형상을 연구하기 위하여 3차원 해석 모델이 제안되었다. 해석 모델은 크게 두 가지로 구성되었다. 하나는 비선형 반복 방정식에서 생성된 입자의 운동식이며, 다른 하나는 수많은 입자에 의한 충돌시 가공능력을 규정지우는 Constitutive Equation으로 구성되었다. 이 모델은 구멍 가공이 진행됨에 따라 발생하는 감쇠 효과를 고려하였다.실험적인 고찰이 해석모델의 유용성을 검증하기 위하여 이루어졌으며, 근사한 결과를 보였다.
