The evolution of drill bit and chuck isolators to reduce roof bolting machine drilling noise
Among underground coal miners, hearing loss remains one of the most common occupational illnesses. To address this problem, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Office of Mine Safety and Health Research (NIOSH OMSHR) conducts research to reduce the noise emission of underground coal mining equipment, an example of which is the roof bolting machine. Field studies show t...
متن کاملAdvances in elastomeric isolators
Seismic hazards remained as a challenge to engineers over ages. In order to reduce loss of life and damage to property due to earthquake, several techniques have been developed among which Seismic Isolation technique using Elastomeric Isolators has gained high acceptance and becoming popular all over the world, due to its simplicity, reliability and overall cost effectiveness. Seismic Isolation...
متن کاملA Noise Control for a Roof Bolting Machine: Collapsible Drill Steel Enclosure
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) at the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) is conducting research to reduce the noise exposures of roof bolting machine operators and to prevent additional cases of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) thru the development of engineering noise controls. This paper describes and evaluates an engineering noise control for the roof bo...
متن کاملAnalysis of Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators
An analysis is given for the mechanical characteristics of multilayer elastomeric isolation bearings where the reinforcing elements-normally steel plates-are replaced by a fiber reinforcement. The fiber-reinforced isolator, in contrast to the steel-reinforced isolator (which is assumed to be rigid both in extension and flexure), is assumed to be flexible in extension, but completely without fle...
متن کاملVisual feedback system to reduce errors while operating roof bolting machines.
PROBLEM Operators of roof bolting machines in underground coal mines do so in confined spaces and in very close proximity to the moving equipment. Errors in the operation of these machines can have serious consequences, and the design of the equipment interface has a critical role in reducing the probability of such errors. METHODS An experiment was conducted to explore coding and directional...
