The stress-strain state simulation for the auger-boring machine’s support-guide system

The article deals with a number of important aspects of the aggregate-modular type auger-boring equipment creation, as an integral part of the range of tunneling complexes for mining operations and laying horizontal and slightly deviated holes for various purposes. The importance of improving the support and guide systems, characterized by a variety of configurations and sizes, a large number of elements for various purposes and with different responsibility degree, is noted separately. In this regard, the possibility of flexible refinement of the complexes configuration for specific boring conditions with the verification of each applied technical solution by computer modeling remains relevant. The ways for a new constructive solutions creating are outlined.
