9/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes the first phase of research aimed at understanding explosion pressures that can develop in coal mines and the factors that lead to high explosion pressure and possible transition to detonation.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper discusses factors that could result in a potential undetected dust explosion hazard, when using current dust sampling procedures, in an area that otherwise appears to be adequately protected with rock dust.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper provides a brief historical overview of full-scale mine explosion research conducted primarily at the USBM, now the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersNIOSH has investigated several areas in which current practices may need to be updated to adequately protect mines against coal dust propagated explosions. Other closely related issues, such as rock dust testing methods, are also discussed.
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper discusses several milestone events that show the progress of methane control research in underground coal mines.
-
5/1/2009 - Conference papersThis study shows a very good agreement between observations of partially burnt coal particles under a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and floor dust samples, collected and analyzed using the alcohol coking test and SEM, to estimate flame travel.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersNIOSH has initiated a seals research program with collaborators from Safety in Mines Testing and Research Station (SIMTARS) in Australia, West Virginia University (WVU), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Analysis of Seismic Signatures from Gas and Dust Based Explosions at the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine2/1/2008 - Conference papersA seismic monitoring system at NIOSH's Lake Lynn Experimental Mine has monitored gas and dust-based explosions and impact tests. Results suggest that large unrestricted explosions can generate the same magnitude as small restricted explosions.
-
9/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper discusses methods for protecting U.S. underground coal mines from explosions of methane gas and coal dust, and presents new research, such as the Coal Dust Explosibility Meter, a handheld device to directly measure coal dust explosibility.
-
6/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper briefly describes the progress in mine safety in the United States, with emphasis on recent events that have followed since the explosion at the Sago Mine in January 2006. Legislation following the mine accidents in 2006 and areas of work car...
