In order to accelerate the diffusion of these air pollutants, the distributed regularity of the rock face temperature which is directly related to the air ventilation in deep open-pit mines should be studied. Here, we establish the key factors influencing the rock face temperature in a deep open-pit mine. We also present an empirical model of the rock face temperature variation in the deep open-pit mine, of which the performance is interestingly high compared with that of the field test. This study lays a foundation to study the ventilation thermodynamic theory in the deep open-pit mine, which is of great importance for theoretical studies and engineering applications of solving air pollution problem in deep open-pit mines.展开更多

The rheological parameters as well as the quantitative relationship among the consumption of different fill materials were obtained through the experiment and research on these parameters. They can be used to predict the scope of the values of τ and η in production for a given ratio, which can reduce the conveying resistance of fill slurry along the pipelines and avoid the blockage of the pipelines. It is found that the rheological model of the total tailing slurry belongs to the Bingham type, which has a feature of strong internal structure and large initial shear stress. The calculation formula for the resistance loss of pipelines conforms nicely to the field test and the actual production in Jinchuan Nickel Mine.展开更多

And it is the bottleneck of the design of the small sugarcane harvester. The working mechanism of centrifugal cleaning method of the cleaning element in brush shape is based on the high speed rotating cleaning element that push, scrub, and strike the sta lk to separate the leaves from the sugarcane. The paper elaborated the worki ng mechanism of cleaning element in brush shape of the sugarcane harvester, and analyzed the state of cleaning procedure and the reacting force that the cleanin g element was subjected. Combined with the earlier stage experiments and researc hes, it was found out that the factors, which affect the cleaning efficiency and fatigue life of cleaning element, were quite many, and the factors were complex and random. So it was difficult to analyze and design cleaning element in theor y. Moreover, if the design parameters were got from experiment it would be time consuming, laborious, and costly. The method of numerical value simulation ortho gonal experiment is used to analyze the reacting force by means of establishing finite element analysis model for cleaning element on ANSYS. According to orthog onal experiment principle, the different parameter groups were made to do finite element calculation. And then orthogonal experiment analysis and regression ana lysis were made to find out the effect on the calculated result that was caused by the changes of different parameter groups, and get optimal design parameters of cleaning element. In conclusion, this virtual design method is a quick and ef ficient way in innovative mechanical product design. This method economizes mate rial, labor, and time, and then it is the right way of high efficiency and speed to reduce the development period, and increase the quality of product and the r atio of successful development at once.展开更多

Modeling on deformation behavior is beneficial to the quantitative evaluation of interactions between soil mass and structures as well as the forecast. Based on cliff conservation engineering of Jiaohe Ruins （the largest raw soil heritage site in the world）, data of horizontal deformation of the upper cliff were obtained by using Nanrui-made NDW-50 displacement device （precision： 0.01 mm, frequency： 15 min^-l）. Regression analysis indicates that deformation behavior models include exponential growth, linear growth and parabolic growth types, while daily deformation presents more intense periodicity （24 h）. The deformation is less than 1.5 mm during monitoring period, which has no impact on the stability of cliff. Deformation behavior provides the mutual duress and interaction between soil and engineering intervention. In addition, deformation mode attaches tensely to the damage pattern of the cliff. The conclusions are of importance to the stability evaluation of the carrier along Silk Road.展开更多
