8/20/2013 - PC softwareA software program to help improve mine layouts for control of horizontal stress.
-
8/20/2013 - PC softwareSoftware for designing pillars for room-and-pillar retreat mining.
-
8/1/2003 - Conference papersThe advance-and-relieve method benefits from lateral destressing. Numerical modeling proved useful in studying the basic mechanics of lateral relief while investigating the sensitivity of results to different parameters using controlled experiments.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to update the database of case histories upon which the Analysis of Longwall Pillar Stability (ALPS) software bases its recommended stability factors.
-
1/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper introduces two position adjustment methods for mine tracking systems which use a coplanar node-path network mine model as the foundation for their development.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses air quality concerns and methods to improve the ventilation of large-opening mines whose entries are at least 93m2 (1,000 ft2).
-
1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResults of diesel fuel fire experiments were conducted to determine the critical air velocity for preventing smoke rollback. Experimental results compared well with model predictions based on a computational fluid dynamics fire dynamics simulator.
-
8/1/2005 - Conference papersThe conclusion drawn from this study was that standing supports do not have sufficient capacity to control main roof or floor loading or prevent the resulting convergence of the tailgate entry.
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersDiesel fuel fire experiments were conducted to determine the critical air velocity for preventing smoke rollback. Experimental results compared very well with model predictions based upon a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fire dynamics simulator.
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis publication details a series of explosive detonation experiments conducted in NIOSH's Bruceton and Lake Lynn Experimental Mines to evaluate low-level (<6 psig) detonation wave propagation behavior in single- and multiple-entry configurations.
