8/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe purpose of this study was to perfect a method of gathering information on work positions and Visual Attention Locations needed by operators during the cutting phase and while the continuous miner trams to a new location.
-
9/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAlmost every process has a predecessor, and studying the predecessor helps to define needs and shortcomings to be addressed. This paper illustrates how such an approach was used to assess remote machine operation in underground coal mines.
-
4/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR) has been widely accepted as a tool for geologic characterization and mine planning. The application of the CMRR to extended cuts (cuts greater that 6 m (20 ft) in length) is discussed.
-
6/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing the intelligent proximity detection system that uses zones to keep mine workers safe around continuous mining machines.
-
3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article by NIOSH reports and analyzes dust concentrations measured for remote-controlled continuous mining machine operators as well as haulage operators at 10 U.S. underground mines.
-
7/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesOverexposure to noise remains a widespread, serious health hazard in the U.S. mining industries. Most other categories of illnesses and injuries associated with mining have improved, with the exception of hearing loss.
-
3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis work presents a fractal porous medium model to predict gob porosity and permeability for controlling methane flow and to predict air leakage into the gob.
-
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.
-
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.
