Cutting force component-based rock differentiation utilising machine learning

This dissertation evaluates the possibilities and limitations of rock type identification in rock cutting with conical picks. For this, machine learning in conjunction with features derived from high frequency cutting force measurements is used. On the basis of linear cutting experiments, it is shown that boundary layers can be identified with a precision of less than 3.7 cm when using the developed programme routine. It is further shown that rocks weakened by cracks can be well identified and that anisotropic rock behaviour may be problematic to the classification success. In a case study, it is shown that the supervised algorithms artificial neural network and distributed random forest perform relatively well while unsupervised k-means clustering provides limited accuracies for complex situations. The 3d-results are visualised in a web app. The results suggest that a possible rock classification system can achieve good results—that are robust to changes in the cutting parameters when using the proposed evaluation methods.:1 Introduction...1

Es wird auf linearen Schneidversuchen aufbauend gezeigt, dass Schichtgrenzen mit Genauigkeiten unter 3,7 cm identifiziert werden können. Ferner wird gezeigt, dass durch Risse geschwächte Gesteine gut identifiziert werden können und dass anisotropes Gesteinsverhalten möglicherweise problematisch auf den Klassifizierungserfolg wirkt. In einer Fallstudie wird gezeigt, dass die überwachten Algorithmen Künstliches Neurales Netz und Distributed Random Forest teils sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielen und unüberwachtes k-means-Clustering begrenzte Genauigkeiten für komplexe Situationen liefert. Die Ergebnisse werden in einer Web-App visualisiert. Aus den Ergebnissen wird abgeleitet, dass ein mögliches Sensorsystem mit den vorgeschlagenen Auswerteroutinen gute Ergebnisse erzielen kann, die gleichzeitig robust gegen Änderungen der Schneidparameter sind.:1 Introduction...1
