Formation of a zone of interconnected fractures during coal mining is a key factor in mine flooding. Coal mines in western China are characterized by thick coal seams with mechanically weak overburden. In situ studies including drill core analysis, drilling fluid loss measurement, and borehole video monitoring were used at the working face 101 in Shaanxi Jinjitan coal mine to explore the maximum height of the interconnected fractures zone (IFZ). Also, tests on a scaled physical model and numerical simulation based on the drilling data were used to study the formation of the fractured zone. By considering data from other mines with similar mining conditions, a logarithmic relationship was found between the maximum height of the IFZ and the thickness of coal excavation. The maximum height of the IFZ was found to be 27 times the thickness of the excavated coal seam, which is far more than in coal mining areas in eastern China. Also, the IFZ in overlying strata of the study area was arch-shaped, not saddle-shaped, as had been observed in previous studies. 相似文献
The study of groundwater flow from the coal seam floor is critical to safe mining operations in China. We developed a numerical simulation model to describe flood water pathways during mining, using the field conditions present at the no. 4196 west work face in the Panxi longwall coal mine, Shandong Province, China, Groundwater flow analysis revealed unusual values for the failure depth of the coal seam floor. The high ground stress and underground pressure, excavation length, width of working face, poor mechanical properties of aquitards, and expansion of fractures by groundwater infiltration all contribute to groundwater flow into the mine. The modeling results predict the time and longwall locations associated with the maximum likelihood of flood occurrence. Such results can be used by decision makers to improve mine design and safety. 相似文献
A series of polyamic acid (PAA) solutions and corresponding polyimide (PI) films with different chemical structures were prepared through a partial pre-imidization process, and the rheological behavior of PAA solutions and thermal mechanical properties of PI films were investigated in detail. The FT-IR spectra indicate that the pre-imidization degree (pre-ID) of PI could be accurately controlled by adjusting the amount of dehydration reagents. The PI films with a certain pre-ID exhibit better mechanical properties and lower coefficient of thermal expansion. The viscosity curves of PAA solution with varying shear rate show that the PAA solutions with high pre-ID have low shear sensitivity, which exhibits a lower viscosity at the low shear rate, but retains almost the same viscosity at high shear rate. Chain conformation variations with pre-IDs and solvent content were investigated by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The MD results indicate that a sudden increase in cohesive energy density leads to gel at a certain pre-ID and the mobility of molecular chain decreases greatly with solvent volatilization. It is supposed that the molecular chain orientation induced by the pre-imidization will be preserved in the subsequent thermal imidization process. Therefore, the PI films with a certain pre-IDs exhibit more excellent thermal mechanical properties, especially for the PI with rigid-rod segments.
This paper proposes a simple geometrical ray approach to calibrate the extrinsic parameters of the virtual cameras and solve the stereo correspondence problem of the single-lens bi-prism stereovision system. Each images captured using this system can be divided into two sub-images which are generated by two virtual cameras due to the refraction through the bi-prism. This stereovision system is equivalent to the conventional two camera system and the two captured sub-images provide disparity which can be used for depth recovery. The virtual cameras will be calibrated geometrically and the correspondence problem of this system will be solved by applying epipolar geometry constraint on the generated virtual cameras instead of the real CCD camera. Experiments are conducted to validate the proposed method and the results are compared to the conventional approach to confirm its accuracy and effectiveness. 相似文献
