Overall requirements for an advanced underground coal extraction system [PDF]
Underground mining systems suitable for coal seams expoitable in the year 2000 are examined with particular relevance to the resources of Central Appalachia. Requirements for such systems may be summarized as follows: (1) production cost; (2)miner safety;

An investigation of longwall failure using 3D numerical modelling – A case study at a copper mine
It is well-known that the longwall mining method (with roof caving) is widely used in underground mining extraction for bedded deposits (e.g. coal) due to its numerous advantages.

An FDM-Based Dynamic Zoning Method for Disturbed Rock Masses above a Longwall Mining Panel
Underground longwall mining can seriously disturb the surrounding rock masses above the panel. A surface cracking zone, continuous deformation zone, fractured zone, and caved zone can be formed in the overlying strata (termed the “four zones”), which may
