Analysis of the effectiveness of magnetic filters of shovel hydraulic system and successive hydraulic failure prediction using data-driven approaches
DownloadFall 2022
Surface mining dominates the world's production of minerals. Currently, almost all non-metallic minerals (more than 95 %), most metallic minerals (more than 90%), and a significant fraction of coal (more than 60%) are mined by surface mining methods. The hydraulic shovel-truck system forms the...

Stoping Sequence Optimization based on Stope Stability Assessment Using Finite Element Modelling Method
DownloadFall 2021
Sublevel stoping mining method is widely used in Canada to excavate the steeply dipping orebodies. With such mining method, stope is the basic excavation element, and sill pillars are reserved to prevent the transfer of mining-induced stress among different mining levels, and the mined-out stope...
