The sudden change in the interface between coal-rock mass can lead to the increased
abrasion of picks and the failure rate of mining machinery. The safe and efficient coal-rock …

In this paper, a new methodology for the numerical simulation of the wheel–surface
interaction has been presented. The finite-element method was combined with the discrete …

Airborne coal mine dust is an unintended and unavoidable result of coal extraction
operations that raises notable health and safety concerns. Modern mining techniques utilize …

The bolter miner is a critical piece of equipment in the rapid set of tunneling equipment, and
the load generated during coal cutting may lead to excessive vibration of the equipment and …

Aiming at the control problem of chaotic motion of a kind of collision vibration system with
gap, a chaotic motion control of collision vibration system based on RBF neural network is …

Paper considers the nonlinear mathematical model of the mining machine's dynamics. This
model was represented by a system of ordinary differential equations with cubic nonlinearity …

Abstract Information visualization is a new area of research in mechanical design, and user
subjective satisfaction can be improved by experiencing visual interactions. With this as a …
