Similar Material Simulation Study on Protection Effect of Steeply Inclined Upper Protective Layer Mining with Varying Interlayer Distances by Zhigang Yuan, Yaohua Shao, Zhuohui Zhu

“…The results show the following. (1) The proportioning parameters of similar material have strong linear relations with its mechanical properties, and mechanical behaviors of such similar material denote that it can simulate most coal-rock lithologies in coal mine. (2) Both pressure-relief curves and swelling strain curves for protected layer present convex shapes; protection angles at lower excavation boundary are greater than those of upper excavation boundary; with the increase of interlayer distance, the pressure-relief curve evolves from pattern “∩” to pattern “∧” and corresponding pressure-relief region becomes narrower, the center of pressure-relief region tends to transfer to the corresponding center of upper protective layer excavation region, the stress concentration coefficient decreases, the protection angles change little, and the length of the protection region reduces dramatically. (3) The protection region and protection angle calculated based on swelling strain of 3‰ are less than the empirical values based on the dip angle in Provisions, denoting that the method proposed in this study is safer than that in Provisions. …”

Research on adaptive control of self-moving temporary support based on fuzzy PID by MA Changqing, LI Feng, HUANG Yubo, MAO Junjie, LI Xuyang, WEI Xiangyu, MA Xiaoyang

“…The simulation results showed that the fuzzy PID-based adaptive control system demonstrated better tracking performance for the surrounding rock roof pressure compared to traditional PID control.The error of the temporary support adaptive control system following the surrounding rock pressure is 0.004 3, which is 86.11% lower than that of the traditional PID control. The adaptive control system of self-moving temporary support based on fuzzy PID stabilized at 0.12 s, whereas traditional PID control stabilized at 8.685 s, indicating a significant advantage in response speed for the fuzzy PID adaptive control. …”
