2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes field tests conducted by NIOSH to evaluate the effectiveness of a wet head continuous mining machine for reducing dust exposure for continuous miner operators.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes lab experiments to examine the effect of spray type, pressure, machine body blocking sprays, and scrubber airflow on dust and gas levels while using a 12.2 m (40 ft) exhaust ventilation curtain setback from the face.

11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper demonstrates the applications of coal bed reservoir engineering and modeling techniques for optimizing and controlling methane emissions in longwall and continuous miner sections.
-
10/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes research to control dominant noise sources in continuous miners. This work ranks noise radiated by different conveyor sections and determines the effect of a urethane-coated tail roller on the noise radiated by the tail section.

7/1/2008 - Conference papersIn the Hemi-anechoic chamber of the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory noise source identification on a continuous miner was performed using phased array measurements and a frequency domain beamforming algorithm with Diagonal Removal.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes the results of different chain types and configurations installed on a continuous mining machine conveyor system and the resulting sound power levels.
-
10/1/2007 - Conference papersThis investigation analyzes factors influencing struck-by accidents during tramming of a continuous mining machine using digital human model simulations with a variety of subjects, postures, environmental constraints, and machine characteristics.
-
12/1/2006 - Conference papersA highly durable polyurethane coating has been developed for chain flights to decrease noise from metal-on-metal impacts. This paper evaluates this engineering noise control in reducing the noise exposure of continuous mining machine operators.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThis paper discusses NIOSH studies evaluating the impacts of emerging technologies that may reduce dust exposures for continuous mining and roof bolting personnel. These technologies include use of a wet-head cutting drum on a continuous mining machine,...
