Abstract
  Drilling is one of the most important operations in open-pit mining, and the penetration rate of drill bits is a key performance measure. This paper presents research on the penetration rate of drill bits based on mining rock mass rating, thrust pressure (weight on bit), rotational pressure, and Schmidt ...  Read More

Sajjad Khalili; Masoud Monjezi; Hasel Amini Khoshalan; Amir Saghat foroush

Volume 15, Issue 3 , May 2024, , Pages 1149-1160

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2024.13911.2591

Abstract
  Determining the appropriate blasting pattern is important to prevent any damage to the tunnel perimeter in conventional tunneling by blasting operation in hard rocks. In this research work, the LS-DYNA software and numerical finite element method (FEM) are used for simulation of the blasting process ...  Read More

Volume 13, Issue 2 , April 2022, , Pages 375-389

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2022.11805.2170

Abstract
  In this research work, a comprehensive study is conducted to predict flyrock as a typical and undesirable phenomenon occurring during the blasting operation in open-pit mining. Despite the availability of several empirical methods for predicting the flyrock distance, the complexity of flyrock analysis ...  Read More
