Based on the test results, the effects of the cycle number and the upper-limit stress on the evolution of cracks, pore morphology, pore number, pore volume, pore size, plane porosity, and volume porosity of salt rock were analyzed. The failure path of salt rock specimens under cyclic loading was analyzed using the distribution law of plane porosity. The damage variable of salt rock under cyclic loading was defined on basis of the variation of volume porosity with cycle number. In order to describe the fatigue deformation behavior of salt rock under cyclic loading, the nonlinear Burgers damage constitutive model was further established.

In this manuscript, a triaxial creep test on deep coal at various pore pressures using a test system that combines in-situ mechanical loading with real-time nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detection was conducted. Full-scale quantitative characterization, online real-time detection, and visualization of MPFS during coal creep influenced by pore pressure and stress coupling were performed using NMR and NMR imaging (NMRI) techniques. The results revealed that seepage pores and microfractures (SPM) undergo the most significant changes during coal creep, with creep failure gradually expanding from dense primary pore fractures. Pore pressure presence promotes MPFS development primarily by inhibiting SPM compression and encouraging adsorption pores (AP) to evolve into SPM. Coal enters the accelerated creep stage earlier at lower stress levels, resulting in more pronounced creep deformation. The connection between the micro and macro values was established, demonstrating that increased porosity at different pore pressures leads to a negative exponential decay of the viscosity coefficient. The Newton dashpot in the ideal viscoplastic body and the Burgers model was improved using NMR experimental results, and a creep model that considers pore pressure and stress coupling using variable-order fractional operators was developed. The model’s reasonableness was confirmed using creep experimental data.

This study aims to investigate the potential solution of using polyaluminum chloride (PAC) in the water jet.

The experimental results showed that the optimal PAC dose was found to be 0.75 g/L. Compared with the test conditions without the addition of PAC, the presence of PAC leads to a reduction in volume, lower characteristic turbidity, smaller diffusion velocity, and shorter settling time of the plume. This indicates that PAC inhibits the entire development process of the plume. The addition of PAC leads to the flocculation of mm-sized particles, resulting in the formation of cm-sized flocs. The flocculation of particles decreases the rate of erosion on the seabed by around 30%. This reduction in erosion helps to decrease the formation of plumes. Additionally, when the size of suspended particles increases, it reduces the scale at which they diffuse. Furthermore, the settling velocity of flocs (around 10⁻² m/s) is much higher that of compared to sediment particles (around 10⁻⁵ m/s), which effectively reduces the amount of time the plume remains in suspension.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48625,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Science and Technology","volume":"34 1","pages":"Pages 91-104"},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095268623001647/pdfft?md5=104a5ec2a58b25e991cbd8063db4b56e&pid=1-s2.0-S2095268623001647-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139431200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the underlying mechanism of HERF remains unclear. In this study, considering the heterogeneity of the rock, microscopic thermodynamic properties, and shockwave time domain waveforms, based on the shockwave model, digital imaging technology and the discrete element method, the cyclic loading numerical simulations of HERF is achieved by coupling electrical, thermal, and solid mechanics under different formation temperatures, confining pressure, initial peak voltage, electrode bit diameter, and loading times. Meanwhile, the HERF discharge system is conducive to the laboratory experiments with various electrical parameters and the resulting broken pits are numerically reconstructed to obtain the geometric parameters. The results show that, the completely broken area consists of powdery rock debris. In the pre-broken zone, the mineral cementation of the rock determines the transition of type <em>C</em>_Ⅰ cracks to type <em>C</em>_Ⅱ and type <em>C</em>_Ⅲ cracks. Furthermore, the peak pressure of the shockwave increased with initial peak voltage but decreased with electrode bit diameter, while the wave front time reduced.

Additionally, for the same kind of rock, the volume and width of the broken pit increase with higher initial peak voltage and rock fissures will promote HERF. Eventually, the electrode drill bit with a 215.90 mm diameter is more suitable for drilling pink granite.

The literature reports various successful applications of machine learning (ML) models for rockburst assessment; however, a significant question remains unanswered: How reliable are these models, and at what confidence level are classifications made? Typically, ML models output single rockburst grade even in the face of intricate and out-of-distribution samples, without any associated confidence value. Given the susceptibility of ML models to errors, it becomes imperative to quantify their uncertainty to prevent consequential failures. To address this issue, we propose a conformal prediction (CP) framework built on traditional ML models (extreme gradient boosting and random forest) to generate valid classifications of rockburst while producing a measure of confidence for its output. The proposed framework guarantees marginal coverage and, in most cases, conditional coverage on the test dataset. The CP was evaluated on a rockburst case in the Sanshandao Gold Mine in China, where it achieved high coverage and efficiency at applicable confidence levels. Significantly, the CP identified several “confident” classifications from the traditional ML model as unreliable, necessitating expert verification for informed decision-making. The proposed framework improves the reliability and accuracy of rockburst assessments, with the potential to bolster user confidence.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48625,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Science and Technology","volume":"34 1","pages":"Pages 51-64"},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095268624000028/pdfft?md5=cfa6bafe36a3eb1846b8bcb060542400&pid=1-s2.0-S2095268624000028-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139494795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
