Evaluation of roof cutting by directionally single cracking technique in automatic roadway formation for thick coal seam mining

Automatic roadway formation by roof cutting is a sustainable nonpillar mining method that has the potential to increase coal recovery,reduce roadway excavation and improve mining safety.In this method,roof cutting is the key process for stress relief,which significantly affects the stability of the formed roadway.This paper presents a directionally single cracking(DSC)technique for roof cutting with considerations of rock properties.The mechanism of the DSC technique was investi-gated by explicit finite element analyses.The DSC technique and roof cutting parameters were evaluated by discrete element simulation and field experiment.On this basis,the optimized DSC technique was tested in the field.The results indicate that the DSC technique could effectively control the blast-induced stress distribution and crack propagation in the roof rock,thus,achieve directionally single cracking on the roadway roof.The DsC technique for roof cutting with optimized parameters could effectively reduce the deformation and improve the stability of the formed roadway.Field engineering application verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the evaluated DSC technique for roof cutting.

Chemical Weeding in Dry Direct Seeding Fields of Single Cropping Middlelate Rice

Chemical weeding in dry direct seeding fields of single cropping middle-late rice was studied in Huida vegetable farm of Huizhou City in 2012. The main treatment was herbicide（ pretilachlor ＋ bensulfuron-methyl,Yangguo and butachlor）,and the sub-treatment was application method（ soil treatments,seedling treatment and integrated treatment）. The results showed that 80 g pretilachlor ＋ bensulfuron-methyl（ 36% pretilachlor ＋ 4% bensulfuron-methyl） diluted with 50 kg water could be sprayed or 200 g Yangguo（ 23. 9% butachlor ＋ 1. 1% bensulfuron-methyl） mixed with 15 kg sandy soil could be broadcasted per 667 m2 on the sowing day or the second day under moist condition of soil,which could effectively control weeds in dry direct seeding fields of single cropping middle-late rice.

THE COUPLING DYNAMICAL MODELING THEORY OF FLEXIBLE MULTIBODY SYSTEM

Based on the deformation theory of elastic beams, the coupling effect between the coupling displacements of a point on the middle line of beam and large overall motion is presented. The 'coupling matrix library' and Jourdain's variation principle and single direction recursive formulation method are used to establish the general coupling dynamical equations of flexible multibody system. Two typical examples show the coupling effect between coupling displacements and large overall motion on the dynamics of flexible multibody system consisting of beams.

Three Median Relations of Target Azimuth in one Dimensional Equidistant Double Array

On the basis of the linear positioning solution of one-dimensional equidistant double-base linear array,by proper approximate treatment of the strict solution,and by using the direction finding solution of single base path difference,the sinusoidal median relation of azimuth angle at three stations of the linear array is obtained.By using the sinusoidal median relation,the arithmetic mean solution of azimuth angle at three stations is obtained.All these results reveal the intrinsic correlation between the azimuth angles of one-dimensional linear array.

Modes of Grain Selection in Spiral Selector during Directional Solidification of Nickel-base Superalloys

The modes of grain selection in spiral selector were investigated by both a ProCAST simulation and experimental confirmation.The results show that the efficiency of grain selection in starter block is associated with the geometry shape.At the early stage of grain selection,the optimization of grain orientation is dominated by competitive grain growth,but the optimization of grain orientation in starter block is gradually dominated by geometry shape at the later stage of grain selection.Besides,the spiral part could also optimize the orientation of the selected single crystal when the initial angle is large enough,and the single crystal selection in spiral parts with different pitch lengths and initial angles is dominated by different modes.The simulation results agree well with experimental ones.
