11/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes six representative fatalities due to flyrock and lack of blast area security in coal and nonmetal mines. Several mines were visited to collect information relative to working practices aimed at mitigating blasting hazards.
-
11/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing two evaluations of the Dust Suppression Hopper (DSH) at industrial sand processing plants.
-
5/17/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to examine the effects of air-blocking shelves on airflows and respirable dust distribution associated with medium-sized surface blasthole drill shrouds as part of a dry dust collector system.
-
11/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article from NIOSH describes the methodology used to develop the computational fluid dynamics models, to calculate the model input and to validate the models based on the experimental data.
-
2/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA paper detailing the use of a bit sleeve in combination with a dusthog-type bit to improve dust extraction during the critical initial phase of drilling.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper documents the evolution of the bit isolator and chuck isolator. Laboratory testing confirms that production bit and chuck isolators reduce the A-weighted sound level generated during drilling by 3.7 to 6.6 dB.
-
5/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesPeak particle velocity (PPV) and distance measurements from a single-charge blast test conducted by Swedish researchers in iron ore at the Kiruna Mine in northern Sweden are presented.
-
7/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe aims of this research were to determine the effectiveness of arbitrary shape coding in reducing selection error rates in a virtual analogy of roof-bolting and whether any advantages exist for mirror or place layouts for dual control situations.
-
8/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesHigh resolution seismic refraction tomography has proved to be a useful tool to effectively estimate depth of blast induced damage in a mine face.
-
8/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents a blast design technique based on a hydrodynamic method and introduces modifications to account for different explosives from those used in a calibration test.
