    A New Methodology For The Analysis Of The Relationship Between Rock Brittleness Index And Drag Pick Cutting Efficiency

    By R. M. Goktan

    Rock brittleness plays an important role in the cutting action of picks on rock surfaces. It controls the ease with which cracks can propagate through the rocks. Although rock brittleness is known as

    Study on the coal gas pressure dynamic distribution law ahead of tunnelling - Synopsis

    By Li-ming Qi

    During mining, the stress in the coal face varies, and, at the same time, the gas flows from the coal body into the excavation, which will cause the gas pressure to change continuously. Assuming the c
