AI Technical Summary
The current design of the cutterhead layout of tunnel boring machines relies on manual experience, resulting in low solution efficiency, easy getting trapped in local optima, and difficulty in balancing mechanical equilibrium and multiple engineering constraints.
By employing a mechanical objective function based on the CSM model and multiple constraints, combined with the Grey Wolf optimization algorithm and tabu search strategy, the tool layout is automatically solved through continuous encoding and global iterative optimization.
This improved the mechanical balance of the cutterhead, increased design efficiency, reduced trial and error costs in manufacturing and construction, and ensured the accuracy and robustness of the tool layout.
