Study on coal drawing parameters of deeply buried hard coal seams based on PFC by Li Xinlei, Ren Ziyuan, Cao Zhengzheng, Ren Hao

“…Key findings include: (1) Borehole observations revealed that adjacent goaf mining activities induced stress redistribution toward deeper zones, promoting full fragmentation of top coal. (2) Numerical simulations demonstrated the significant influence of mining-to-drawing ratio (MDR) on top-coal failure characteristics, with optimal recovery rate (TCRR) achieved at 1:1 MDR. (3) Parameter analysis showed the lowest gangue content occurred at 0.8 m drawing step distance, while single-round multi-opening interval drawing strategy delivered superior economic benefits and higher recovery compared to traditional multi-round approaches. (4) Similarity simulation tests uncovered funnel interaction patterns between adjacent drawing openings, with peak efficiency during initial drawing phases and an overall simulated recovery rate of 86.23%. …”

Research on the disintegration characteristics of fissured loess under water–vibration coupling effect by Tao Lei, Jiading Wang, Shaotong Jiao

“…To reveal the disaster mechanisms, this study conducted water-vibration coupled disintegration tests on fissured loess using the self-developed EDS-600 vibration disintegration apparatus, based on the measured dominant vibration frequencies (12–46 Hz) of the Lanzhou-Qinghai Railway. The influence patterns of vibration frequency (f) and fissure type (t) on disintegration rate (S), disintegration velocity (V), and disintegration velocity growth rate ( $$\alpha_{f - t}$$ ) were systematically investigated, with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) employed to uncover microstructural evolution mechanisms. …”
