This relation is reinforced by real information and the benefits it engenders in the mining economy. Hence, it is important to create optimizing algorithms to reduce the errors of economic calculations. In this work, a logical mathematical algorithm that considers the important designing parameters and the mining economy is proposed. This algorithm creates an optimizing repetitive process among different designing constituents and directs them into the maximum amount of the mine economical parameters. This process will produce the highest amount of ores and the highest degree of safety. The modeling produces a new relation between the concept of the cutoff grade, mine designing, and mine planning, and it provides the maximum benefit by calculating the destination of the ores. The proposed algorithm is evaluated in a real case study. The results show that the net present value of the mine production is increased by 3% compared to previous methods of production design and UPL.展开更多

Due to fatigue and cyclic loading, the pullout or debonding phenomenon often occurs in osteonal and interstitial tissue bone. The study aims to construct a fiber-reinforced composite material debonding model for cortical bone, in which the bonding condition along the osteon, cement line and interstitial tissue bone are assumed to be imperfect. In the study, we used the complex variable method to obtain series representations for stress fields in the osteon, cement line and the interstitial tissue bone with a radial crack. The effects of material properties of osteon and cement line, crack position, and varying degrees of debonding on the fracture behavior were investigated by computing the stress intensity factor （SIF） in the vicinity of the microcrack tips. The investigation results indicated that the cement line was important for controlling the fracture toughening mechanisms and that the level of imperfect bonding among osteon, cement line and interstitial tissue bone had a pronounced effect on the crack behavior and should not be ignored.展开更多
