Structural Characteristics Analysis of Overlying Rocks and Prevention Measures with a Long-Wall Face Passing Across Abandoned Roadways: A Case Study by Zeng-Qiang Yang, Chang Liu, Guo-An Wang, Gang-Wei Li, Feng-Shuo Li

“…The results show that the bearing stress in advanced coal pillar is accumulated larger and larger with the width of advanced coal pillar gradually decreasing, and meanwhile, the key stratum in overlying strata would also be sliding instability under some minimum critical width condition; the sudden failure of advanced coal pillar which leads to a sharp increase of bending moment is the key factor that induces fracture of the main roof in front of long-wall face, and the advanced fracture of the main roof can be prevented by changing the stress state of the advanced coal pillar from a two-dimensional state to a three-dimensional state; the method of backfilling abandoned roadway is used to improve the stability of advanced coal pillar and the corresponding monitoring results verify that this method is effective. …”

RESEARCH ON AXIAL MODIFICATION OF CROWD REDUCER GEARS OF LARGE MINING ELECTRIC EXCAVATOR by ZHANG YingHui, HOU Geng, HE WeiDong, ZHOU Feng, RU XueBin

“…Using the thin slice gear model,statistical average load of excavator mining process is taken as the reference load of modification,the minimum contact stress of gears at the excavator mining position withmaximum statisticalcrowd force is regarded as the objective,the slope modification of the two stage pinion（driving wheel） of the crowd reducer is carried out.Further, no edge load at tooth surface in each mining location is regarded as the objective,the crown modification of the two stage pinion of the crowd reducer is carried out.In the process of excavator mining,compare with pinion without modification,the maximum stress（including contact stress of tooth surface and bending stress of tooth root）of thepinionwith modification decreases significantly,and the edge contact condition of tooth surface is obviously improved.After modification,when the gear is subjected to the statistical maximum load of excavator mining process,the stress value of the gearis still less than the allowable stress.Simulation results show that,axial modification of crowd reducer gears of large mining electric excavator has positive significance for improving carrying ability and contact condition of gears.…”
