10/1/2002 - Conference papersThis paper addresses the question, 'Can lightning cause potential differences capable of igniting methane-and-air mixtures at overburden depths at which underground coal mining occurs?'
-
8/1/2002 - Conference papersThis paper discusses the Mine Emergency Response Interactive Training Simulation (MERITS), a computerized simulation for providing mine emergency command center training.
-
7/1/2002 - Reports of InvestigationsThe process of drilling and bolting the roof is currently one of the most dangerous jobs in underground mining, resulting in about 1,000 accidents with injuries each year in the United States. Researchers from the Spokane Research Laboratory of the Nat...

7/1/2000 - Conference papersIn a computer analysis of bench stability, bench-scale plane shears and tetrahedral wedges are simulated and stochastically analyzed to estimate the probability of retaining specified catch-bench widths.
-
1/1/2000 - Conference papersAn approach for representing and analyzing random motions and hazardous events in a simulated three-dimensional workplace, providing designers and analysts with a new technique for evaluating operator-machine interaction hazards in virtual environments.
-
6/1/1999 - Conference papersAn experiment is described in which instrumented rock bolts were used to measure strain in the rock mass during drift development at the Stillwater Mine, Nye, Montana, USA.
-
5/1/1998 - Conference papersThe U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has identified ore pass hazards as s significant safety problem in underground metal mines in the United States. Researchers at the Spokane Research Laboratory of the National Institute for Occupati...
