Shield-Roof Interaction in Longwall Panels: Insights from Field Data and Their Application to Ground Control by Jingyi Cheng, Zhijun Wan, Yinlin Ji

“…To uncover the mechanisms of shield-roof interaction, using our self-developed Status of Shield and Roof IntelliSense (SSRI) system, we investigated the effects of idle time, retreating rate, setting pressure, yielding, and shearer’s cutting, as well as neighboring shields’ advance on the spatial-temporal evolution of leg pressure and leg closure of shields. Our results show that the shield-roof interaction is not only dependent on the shield capacity, but also collectively determined by the time-related factors, the geological condition, the setting pressure, yielding characteristics, and mining method. …”
