Peculiarities of kinematics of rock mass shear during development of subseismic-scale faults
- Authors:
- A. V. Merzlikin
- L. N. Zakharova
The article describes the mechanism of formation and development of subseismic-scale faults in sedimentary rock mass based on results of physical and mathematical simulation. Physical modelling of layered rock massif was carried out by using sand-gypsum mixture. The results of physical modeling made it possible to visually evaluate the process of formation and development of subseismic-scale faults, to establish the orientation and amplitude of the modeled faults. It was established that faults with higher amplitude had filler material formed because of friction of fault edges/walls. The volume of modelled formation after formation of faults depending on fault amplitudes changed from 2-3 to 10 %. To gain information on stress deformed condition of rock massif and identification of key peculiarities of fault propagation dynamics we used the mathematical modeling based on particle-flow algorithm. The results of mathematical modeling determined that during formation of low amplitude faults the shear field has several rock clusters. Due to interaction of clusters, which have coordinated movement and promote massif loosening, the rock mass accumulates voids, which are the prerequisite for formation of subseismic-scale faults. The gained results enable to specify the complex mechanism of irreversible shears and deformations of rock mass during formation and development of subseismic-scale faults. It contributes to the improvement of the methodology for predicting the SSF parameters, which is of practical importance in terms of reducing mining risks.

Models for assessment of public-private partnership projects in subsurface management
- Authors:
- I. S. Kalgina
Aims and goals of this paper. The article is devoted to analysis of issues related to development of public-private partnership (PPP) projects in mineral resources sector of Russia. The special emphasis is given to the most common PPP model in the field of industrial infrastructure construction using the Investment Fund of RF. We offer specific tools to be used with Russian models for assessment of PPP projects and forecasting of its efficiency for its participants. This model allows evaluating the results of the whole deposit development process, constructing graphs of all types of expenditures and revenues (by years), and having rent assessment of deposit NPV (net present value) and internal rent rate (IRR). Methods and results. The iteration process at each step enables assessment of budget revenue forecast, living standards indexes, ecological parameters and performance indicators, as well as a certain variant of PPP project implementation for investors (direct government expenses on implementation of infrastructure objects and environmental activities, tax benefits). We have a set of tools for supporting the management decision making process in developing efficient PPP mechanism, balancing long-term government interests, private sector and local people interests arising during socio-economic development of mineral resources area. This method using the suggested tools for analyzing efficiency of a specific partnership mechanism is shown on the examples of projects of developing different deposits in Transbaikal region.

The phenomenon of isothermal transition of metastable aluminate solutions into the labile area and prospects of its industrial use
- Authors:
- V. N. Brichkin
- A. Kraslawski
The paper presents theoretically based requirements for the activation of synthetic gibbsite for maximum solubility of the activated product. The article describes the methodological foundations of gibbsite thermal activation and its effectiveness evaluation in terms of aluminate solutions decomposition. It is shown that to obtain high-saturation aluminate solutions, activation should provide generation of the reagent with highly-developed surface area, which is not identical to the structure of the deposited gibbsite. As a result of high-gradient thermal activation of synthetic gibbsite, it has been found that the targeted product develops predominantly an amorphous structure with a specific surface area up to 256 m2/ g, preserving its primary particle size. Activation products were investigated using modern methods of physical and chemical analysis. The experimental results confirmed the possibility of the activated product dissolution in the aluminate solution with a metastable compound and their spontaneous decomposition with aluminum hydroxide formation, characterized by high dispersion ability. It is shown, that a significant difference in kinetics and decomposition rates of solutions is connected with the use of a seed material with different particle size composition, which leads to the development of competing mechanisms, resulting in seed recrystallization, homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation.

Dynamic study of underground loading machine’s working tool crank-rocker mechanism
- Authors:
- I. P. Timofeev
- I. A. Korolev
The article is devoted to the dynamic study of the underground shovel’s working tool mech-anism, assembled in accordance with a crank-rocker scheme, containing curved wings, as well as to the study of the effect on uneven movement rate, produced by the working tool mechanism; pa-rameters and structural characteristics of the shovel paw design shape. On the basis of a synthesis of the loading machine’s working tool mechanisms, a kinematic scheme with a shovel paw, con-sisting of a straight operating part and a curved working tail, is offered. A dynamic model of the mechanism based on a variable weight of shovel bulk cargo and drive parameters of the working tool is developed, a motion equation is made up. Comparison between statistical indicators of effec-tive output obtained from the shovel loaders drive mechanism and the results of a separate computer simulation of the mechanisms under analysis attest to the proposed model’s performability.

About the operating mode of bulk handling mechanisms
- Authors:
- Ya. B. Kalnitskii
The last two decades have been a period of intense and continuous work for the coal industry of the USSR in the field of solving the problem of complex-mechanized coal mining and, above all, the problem of mechanization of coal loading in working faces. In the development of technical methods and the design of new machines for this extremely important purpose, Soviet mining science and technology have achieved significant success and occupy a leading place. Our designers and inventors have an indisputable priority in the matter of creating loading machines and longwall mining combines, which are the first in world practice to be produced and used in series. Based on the accumulated experience in the design and operation of loading mechanisms in our country, it became possible to formulate and successfully resolve in the fourth five-year plan the most important national economic task: "...to mechanize labor-intensive processes in the coal industry in every possible way, in particular to ensure the widespread implementation of work on the mechanization of coal loading...". Both specialized bulk machines and bulk units of mining combines were designed in the Soviet Union according to a wide variety of schemes. Initially, designers and machine builders sought to create machines with constant mechanical characteristics, designed for use in any mining conditions. In our coal industry, the desire for universality of mining mechanisms determined persistent attempts to build a machine suitable for any conditions of cleaning excavation.
