3/1/2006 - Conference papersA computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program was applied to fire spread along combustibles in a ventilated mine entry. The rate of flame spread was evaluated for the ribs and roof of a coal mine entry, timber sets, and a conveyor belt.
-
8/1/2003 - Conference papersThis paper describes a study where the variations of the magnitude of the horizon stresses in sedimentary deposits in the eastern and Midwestern U.S. are examined with respect to two factors, the elastic modulus of the rock and the site depth.
-
8/1/2001 - Conference papersFire is a major concern for those who work in underground mines. This paper focuses on responders' preparedness for fire.
-
7/1/2001 - Conference papersOutlines the concepts used to correlate rock failure with microseismic events and presents examples of microseismic monitoring together with associated computer modeling of the rock failure from several mine sites.
-
8/1/2000 - Conference papersThe 1990s saw an unprecedented increase in technologies for more effective, easier to install roof support in underground mines. To facilitate application and improve mine safety, NIOSH developed the Support Technology Optimization Program (STOP).
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersIn this paper instrumentation and sampling strategies for accurate monitoring of airflow in an entry using two-axis and three-axis ultrasonic anemometers are evaluated.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersThe paper documents NIOSH research to date of a damped drill steel on a roof bolting machine.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH is investigating the use of shotcrete in weak rock mass mines with the objective of reducing fatalities and injuries resulting from rock fall accidents.
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper discusses several milestone events that show the progress of methane control research in underground coal mines.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper discusses a limited number of control technologies to reduce or eliminate harmful respirable dust.
