Computer Simulation of Unit Operations for Rapid Excavation Systems

Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to apply the systems approach to the tunneling process and to the materials handling function in particular. This report deals primarily with the computer simulation model. A review of simulation methods and languages is presented first to provide background for the choice of a language and the development of the model. The description of the computer model occupies a large portion of the report. The principles of simulation of each of the unit operations is discussed with the muck generation and the materials handling subsystems receiving the bulk of the attention.
