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.
-
3/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study conducted to examine the pattern of direction errors made during the manipulation of a physical simulation of an underground coal mine bolting machine to assess directional control-response compatibility relationships.
-
2/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn experiment was conducted to explore coding and directional compatibility on roof bolting equipment and to determine the feasibility of a visual feedback system to alert operators of critical movements and workers in close proximity to the equipment.
-
7/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis experimentally designed air curtain, adapted for roof bolting machines used in this study, is based upon previous design prototypes, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and trial-and-error testing.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study examined the potential for coal mine roof bolter dust to be a source of a worker's exposure to respirable quartz.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersThis article presents the most significant findings from NIOSH research to develop noise controls that reduce the sound at the operator’s position of mining machinery.
