9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA dual sprocket conveyor chain for a CMM was examined both in the laboratory and in underground field studies to test the influence on lowering the sound power emissions of the chain conveyor of a CMM when compared to a standard chain.
-
4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers used motion analysis data and digital human models to evaluate factors that precipitate struck-by injuries in the operation of remote continuous mining machines.
-
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.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers used motion analysis data and digital human models to evaluate factors that precipitate struck-by injuries in the operation of remote continuous mining machines.

3/1/2008 - Technology NewsThis briefly describes testing done to ignite methane-air in the presence of liquid hydrocarbons, and gives recommendations for limiting frictional ignition.
-
11/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents a method using a ray-tracing technique to determine absorption coefficients for underground mines. Absorption coefficients are determined and presented for octave bands from 63 Hz to 8 kHz.
-
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.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis research determined noise exposures of equipment operators while documenting worker task. The types of equipment studied included asphalt pavers, backhoes, bulldozers, compaction equipment, excavators, haul trucks, and wheeled loaders.
-
12/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper analyzes narrative text fields accompanying injury reports associated with continuous miners, shuttle cars, load-haul-dump vehicles, and personnel transport equipment types in New South Wales underground coal mines.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papers, NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThe purpose of this study was to assess the adequacy of the cab design and to determine the percentage of musculoskeletal symptoms among operators of mobile equipment used in mining and construction.
