Abstract : Operators of opencast heavy earthmoving machinery (HEMM), during their 8-hour shift duration, are regularly succumbed to the high level of whole body vibration (WBV) amplitudes. Due to long and continuous working in the field, the operators of HEMM may yield to adverse health effects and results in hazardous conditions if the magnitudes repeatedly …

The most commonly used in the contemporary mining industry is alternating current (AC) machines which are used for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. This paper presents the solution of the nonlinear optimal control problems of three-phase induction mining machinery (IMM). A …

This spontaneous combustion leads to mine fires and are prime concern in the …

Instability in dump slope occurs because of many inherent factors, cracks formed by mining activities, and natural climatic conditions etc. have been considered in this study. Numerical simulation of the dump slope has been performed using RS2 (Rocscience) software based on …

Since liquefied petroleum gas is prolific in Iraq at a lower price than other fuels and is clean and environmentally
friendly, one of the important research topics is the use of liquefied petroleum gas in diesel engines
Selection of cut off grade in long-term open pit mine planning is a tough research challenge now-a-days. The
subsequent operational planning for the selected cut off grade decides the economic factor in mine production
scheduling.
The occurrences of unexpected failures in heavy earthmoving machines (HEMMs) lead to the downtime
that reduces the productivity, safety, and reliability of the machines. Unwanted failures increase the likelihood of
unplanned maintenance activities.
Soda lime is one of the most popular carbon dioxide absorbent materials to be used for closed-circuit life
saving safety breathing apparatus in mining industries. A trained rescue person uses it during a situation such as a
fire, explosion or emission of toxic gasses in underground mines.
