In the surface mining of mineral deposits, land resources suitable for agricultural purposes
are inappropriately spent in large volumes. When mining deep open pits, overburden rocks …

High quality coke is a key raw material for the metallurgical industry. The characteristics of
the coal have a significant influence on the parameters of the coke produced and …

Strainburst occurrence in underground mines is associated with highly stressed brittle and
stiff rockmasses which instantaneously dissipate excess strain energy. This strainburst …

In this paper, a 2D distinct element method (DEM) model of a deep tunnel in an
underground coal mine is built to thoroughly evaluate the effects of yielding (D-bolt and …

The stability of surrounding rock is deteriorated due to the characteristics of Weak Interlayer
Zone (WIZ) in underground caverns. To address the deformation and small-scale collapse …

Cracking behavior can reduce soil hydraulic and mechanical properties and is a preferential
pathway for water flow and pollutant transportation, resulting in polluted environment, such …

At present, the hydraulic support pushing system in coal mines usually uses an
electrohydraulic directional valve as the control component. However, the existing control …

A hybrid smoothed particle hydrodynamics-discrete element method (SPH-DEM) is
proposed to simulate rockburst behavior during deep tunnel excavation. Within this coupled …

Strainburst is an unstable rock failure phenomenon that occurs at deep excavations'
boundaries due to the excavation-induced stress concentration and a “soft” loading …

The research examines the challenges and effectiveness of IT tools used in the mining
industry for forecasting production parameters, a crucial aspect as mining operations …
