Abstract:

There are various criteria that need to be examined alongside each other when designing a longwall mining system. Challenges such as determination of the supported roof width, support system design, caving height determination, lateral or chain pillar size determination, and optimum support design for the main gate and tail gate roadways have to be tackled for this aim. Three-dimensional analysis would deliver the highest accuracy of induced stresses around the longwall working area. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to develop a three dimensional geometrical computing model (3GCM) for calculating the induced stresses in both longitudinal and transverse loading orientations of the extraction panel. 3GCM is capable of studying the changes of induced stresses along the longitudinal orientation of working and the lateral pillar as well as the induced stresses ahead and behind of the face. The proposed computational model, for analyzing the vertical induced stresses, was used in one of the longwall workings in the Parvade-2 coal mine of Tabas, Iran. Validation of 3GCM has approved its high efficiency for the analysis of induced stresses within the working as well as surrounding areas.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

A Three- Dimensional Model of the Caspian Sea

Observations of the Caspian Sea during August-September 1995 are used to develop a three-dimensional numerical model to be used in calculating temperature and current. The model has variable grid resolution and horizontal smoothing that filters out small scale vertical motion. Data from the meteorological buoy network on the Caspian Sea are combined with routine observations at first-order syno...

A three-dimensional calculation of atmospheric neutrinos

A Monte-Carlo calculation of the atmospheric neutrino fluxes [1, 2] has been extended to take account of the three-dimensional (3D) nature of the problem, including the bending of secondary particles in the geomagnetic field. Emphasis has been placed on minimizing the approximations when introducing the 3D considerations. In this paper, we describe the techniques used and quantify the effects o...

Three-dimensional geometrical models of the liver.

In this work we used a virtual approach to study the human liver by three-dimensional geometrical models. We built the models through computer aided geometric modelling techniques starting from pictures taken during both real dissections and diagnostic medical imaging. The results show in a complete modular synthesis and with a schematic iconology the structural organization of this organ in a ...
