Height of Mining-Induced Fractured Zones in Overlying Strata and Permeability of Rock with Nonpenetrative Fractures by Yu Liu, Qimeng Liu, Wenping Li, Youbiao Hu

“…In order to explain the phenomenon that the actual leakage of phreatic water is greater than the predicted value, field investigation and analogue simulation were carried out, and the nonpenetrative fractured zone (NFZ) was proposed based on the original three zone theory. Further, a “vertical four-zone model” was established and the overlying strata was divided into a caved zone (CZ), through-going fractured zone (TFZ), NFZ, and continuous zone (COZ) from the bottom to the top. …”

A Vibration Model of Ball Bearings with a Localized Defect Based on the Hertzian Contact Stress Distribution by Fanzhao Kong, Wentao Huang, Yunchuan Jiang, Weijie Wang, Xuezeng Zhao

“…The calculation of the ball-raceway contact force when the ball passes over the defect is key to establishing a defect vibration model. Hertzian contact theory indicates that the contact area between the ball and the raceway is an elliptical contact surface; therefore, a new approach is used to calculate the ball-raceway contact force in the defect area based on the stress distribution and the contact area. …”

Deformation mechanism and damage energy evolution of coal body under different gas pressures based on the energy principle by Yongjiang Yu, Xu Dong, Jiaming Liu, Zhiyuan Song, Zhiqiang Wu, Wenjing Guo

“…With increasing gas pressure, the damage threshold of the coal body decreased, whereas the damage variable corresponding to the peak value, as well as the damage threshold value, increased. According to the theory of continuous damage mechanics, an ontological damage model of the coal body under different gas pressures was established based on the principle of minimum energy dissipation, and the rationality of the model was verified through a comparison between the theoretical and experimental data. …”
