Discussion on the Theoretical Basis for Cross-Over Method Applied to Downhole Wave Velocity Test by Qing Dong, Zheng-hua Zhou, Su Jie, Bing Hao, Yuan-dong Li

“…However, the characteristics of signals recorded in tests are often found to conflict with this theoretical basis for the cross-over method, namely, the polarity of the P-wave also transforms under the action of surface forward and backward strike. Therefore, 3D finite element numerical simulations were conducted to study the validity of the theoretical basis for the cross-over method. …”

Study on the Deformation Mechanism of the Bottom Plate along the Empty Lane of Deep Mining and the Control Technology of the Bottom Drum by Dongdong Pang, Xingang Niu, Kai He, Chuanming Li, Dawei Pang, Tao Hu, Zhongqi Chen, Xiaolong Luo

“…During mining, under the comprehensive action of the original peripheral stress field and the mining stress field, the cliffhanger is unstable under the comprehensive action of the original peripheral stress field and the mining stress field, and the extrusion and stretching effect of the unflapped part of the rock layer above the goaf section of the coal seam is set up along the air, resulting in violent deformation such as the bottom drum, and the rotational sinking of this part of the unflinted rock layer further aggravates the transfer of the overburden load to the surrounding rock of the lane, so that the surrounding rock along the empty lane is subjected to a large additional stress, and the mining stress field plays a leading role, and the mining stress “far field” is the compound stress field, of which the tensile stress is the leading destructive factor. …”
