Deformation-Wave Processes under Production Face Advance in Coal and Rocks

摘要

The article shows the deformation-wave behavior of geomechanical processes induced by coal production face advance. The enclosing rock mass response to mining is interpreted as the formation of a hierarchy of geomedium elements in the continuum subject to excess elastic energy behind the front of the vertical stress decrease. Parameters of the physical model of the process are given in terms of mine-technical situations.
