Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 30 June 2025

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2025.15933.3065

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
