文摘Deep-sea mining has emerged as a critical solution to address global resource shortages;however,the mechanical interaction between tracked mining vehicles(TMVs)and soft seabed sediments presents fundamental engineering challenges.This study establishes a multiscale modelling framework coupling the discrete element method(DEM)with multi-body dynamics(MBD)to investigate track-seabed dynamic interactions across three operational modes:flat terrain,slope climbing,and ditch surmounting.The simulation framework,validated against laboratory experiments,systematically evaluates the influence of grouser geometry(involute,triangular,and pin-type)and traveling speed(0.2–1.0 m/s)on traction performance,slip rate,and ground pressure distribution.Results reveal rate-dependent traction mechanisms governed by soil microstructural responses:higher speeds enhance peak traction but exacerbate slip instability on complex terrain.Critical operational thresholds are established—0.7 m/s for flat terrain,≤0.5 m/s for slopes and ditches—with distinct grouser optimization strategies:involute grousers achieve 35%–40%slip reduction on slopes through progressive soil engagement,while triangular grousers provide optimal impact resistance during ditch crossing with 30%–35%performance improvement.These findings provide quantitative design criteria and operational guidelines for optimizing TMV structural parameters and control strategies,offering a robust theoretical foundation for enhancing the performance,safety,and reliability of deep-sea mining equipment in complex submarine environments.

文摘The deep seabed is known for its abundant reserves of various mineral resources.Notably,the Clarion Clipperton(C-C)mining area in the northeast Pacific Ocean,where China holds exploration rights,is particularly rich in deep-sea polymetallic nodules.These nodules,which are nodular and unevenly distributed in seafloor sediments,have significant industrial exploitation value.Over the decades,the deep-sea mining industry has increasingly adopted systems that combine rigid and flexible risers supported by large surface mining vessels.However,current systems face economic and structural stability challenges,hindering the development of deep-sea mining technology.This paper proposes a new structural design for a deep-sea mining system based on flexible risers,validated through numerical simulations and experimental research.The system composition,function and operational characteristics are comprehensively introduced.Detailed calculations determine the production capacity of the deep-sea mining system and the dimensions of the seabed mining subsystem.Finite element numerical simulations analyze the morphological changes of flexible risers and the stress conditions at key connection points under different ocean current incident angles.Experimental research verifies the feasibility of collaborative movement between two tethered underwater devices.The proposed deep-sea mining system,utilizing flexible risers,significantly advances the establishment of a commercial deep-sea mining system.The production calculations and parameter determinations provide essential references for the system’s future detailed design.Furthermore,the finite element simulation model established in this paper provides a research basis,and the method established in this paper offers a foundation for subsequent research under more complex ocean conditions.The control strategy for the collaborative movement between two tethered underwater devices provides an effective solution for deep-sea mining control systems.

文摘A deep-sea riser is a crucial component of the mining system used to lift seafloor mineral resources to the vessel.Even minor damage to the riser can lead to substantial financial losses,environmental impacts,and safety hazards.However,identifying modal parameters for structural health monitoring remains a major challenge due to its large deformations and flexibility.Vibration signal-based methods are essential for detecting damage and enabling timely maintenance to minimize losses.However,accurately extracting features from one-dimensional(1D)signals is often hindered by various environmental factors and measurement noises.To address this challenge,a novel approach based on a residual convolutional auto-encoder(RCAE)is proposed for detecting damage in deep-sea mining risers,incorporating a data fusion strategy.First,principal component analysis(PCA)is applied to reduce environmental fluctuations and fuse multisensor strain readings.Subsequently,a 1D-RCAE is used to extract damage-sensitive features(DSFs)from the fused dataset.A Mahalanobis distance indicator is established to compare the DSFs of the testing and healthy risers.The specific threshold for these distances is determined using the 3σcriterion,which is employed to assess whether damage has occurred in the testing riser.The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach are verified through numerical simulations of a 500-m riser and experimental tests on a 6-m riser.Moreover,the impact of contaminated noise and environmental fluctuations is examined.Results show that the proposed PCA-1D-RCAE approach can effectively detect damage and is resilient to measurement noise and environmental fluctuations.The accuracy exceeds 98%under noise-free conditions and remains above 90%even with 10 dB noise.This novel approach has the potential to establish a new standard for evaluating the health and integrity of risers during mining operations,thereby reducing the high costs and risks associated with failures.Maintenance activities can be scheduled more efficiently by enabling early and accurate detection of riser damage,minimizing downtime and avoiding catastrophic failures.

文摘Taking the Pusa Collapse in Nayong County,Guizhou Province,China as a case study,this paper investigates the impact of multi-layer coal mining on karst mountains characterized by deep fissures.Based on field investigations and employing discrete element numerical simulations,the deformation and failure mechanisms of karst mountain containing deep and large fissures under multi-seam mining conditions was investigated.The influence of the direction of coal seam extraction and the sequence of extraction between multiple coal seams on the failure modes of karst mountain with deep and large fissures was studied.The results indicate that underground mining primarily manifests in the development of mininginduced fissures in the mountain body,subsidence and deformation of slope masses,and triggering the expansion of existing fissures,further driving overall deformation and damage to the slopes.Deep and large fissures control the deformation and failure modes of the slopes,with closer and longer deep and large fissures near the slope surface exerting greater influence on the slope mass.The impact of mining in the same coal seam direction on the slopes is mainly reflected in the process of slope deformation and failure.Downslope mining directly leads to overall subsidence of the slope mass,squeezing the front and lower parts of the slope mass.Upslope mining initially causes the foot of the slope to sink and the entire slope mass to move outward,and continuous mining leads to overall settlement and downward compression deformation of the slope.The sequence of mining between multiple coal seams mainly affects the overall and local deformation values of the slope mass.Downward mining leads to increased overall subsidence of the slope mass and exacerbates the backward tilt of the slope top.

文摘Aero engines are key power components that provide thrust for the aircraft.The cerme turbine disc allows the new-generation domestic fighter aircraft to increase the overall thrust of the aero engine.Quantifying coatings and analyzing the stress on the teeth play critical roles in improving the turbine disc’s performance,which are two issues must be solved urgently.First,this work pro poses a quantitative analysis algorithm to conduct the Three-Dimensional(3D)distribution informa tion mining of the extracted coatings.Then,it proposes an Industrial Computed Laminography(ICL)reconstruction algorithm for non-destructively reconstructing the turbine disc’s high-quality3D morphological actual feature.Finally,a Finite Element Analysis(FEA)under the ultimate thrus is conducted on ICL reconstruction to verify the working status of the new-generation aero-engine turbine disc.The results show that the proposed quantitative analysis algorithm digitizes the aggre gated conditions of the coating with a statistically normalized Z_(1)value of–2.15 and a confidence leve higher than 95%.Three image-quality quantitative indicators:Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR)Structural Similarity Index Measure(SSIM),and Normalized Mean Square Distance(NMSD)of the proposed ICL reconstruction algorithm on turbine disc laminographic image are 26.45,0.88,and 0.73respectively,which are better than other algorithms.The mechanical analysis of ICL more realisti cally reflects the stress and deformation than that of 3D modeling.This work provides new ideas for the iterative research of new-generation aero-engine turbine discs.
文摘39 soil samples surrounding a lead-zinc mining area in Guangxi were collected,and the contents of Pb,Hg,Cd,Cr,As,Cu,Zn,and Ni were determined to investigate the pollution characteristics and sources of heavy metals.ArcGIS inverse distance weight difference method was used to analyze the characteristics of pollution distribution,and single-factor pollution index,Nemerow comprehensive pollution index,ground accumulation index,and potential ecological risk index were selected to evaluate the characteristics of heavy metal pollution.Based on correlation analysis,the absolute principal component-multiple linear regression(APCS-MLR)and positive definite matrix factorization(PMF)models were used to analyze the sources of soil heavy metals.The results showed that the average concentrations of all eight heavy metals exceeded both national and Guangxi soil background values.Hg,Cd,and Zn exhibited high variation(greater than 0.5),indicating significant external disturbances,and their spatial distribution was closely related to mining activity locations.The single-factor pollution index evaluation indicated varying degrees of pollution risk for Cd,Zn,and As,with Cd and Zn being the most severe pollutants,as 69.23%and 30.77%of the samples fell into the moderate pollution or higher category.The geoaccumulation index analysis ranked the mean pollution levels of the eight elements as follows:Zn>Cd>Ni>Pb>Cu>Cr>Hg>As,with Cd and Zn showing the most severe contamination,and 51.28%of the samples exhibiting moderate or higher pollution levels.The Nemerow comprehensive pollution index evaluation showed that 74.35%of soil samples were classified as moderate to heavy pollution.The potential ecological risk index assessment indicated significant ecological risks posed by Cd and Zn,with 82.05%and 5.12%of the samples classified as causing strong to extreme ecological risks,respectively.The source apportionment analysis revealed minor differences between the two models.The APCS-MLR model identified three pollution sources and their contribution rates:anthropogenic mining sources(31.13%),parent material sources(40.38%),and unidentified sources(28.49%).The PMF model identified three pollution sources with contribution rates of anthropogenic mining sources(26.10%),parent material sources(46.96%),and a combined traffic and agricultural source(26.61%).Pb,Hg,Cd,and Zn mainly originated from mining activities;Cr,As,and Ni were primarily derived from the parent material,while Cu was predominantly attributed to traffic and agricultural sources.These findings provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in mining areas.

文摘Clarifying the mechanisms through which coal mining affects groundwater storage(GWS)variations is crucial for water resource conservation and sustainable development.The Ordos Mining Region in China,a key energy base in China with significant strategic importance,has undergone intensive coal mining activities that have substantially disrupted regional groundwater circulation.This study integrated data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Satellite(GRACE)and Famine Early Warning Systems Network(FEWS NET)Land Data Assimilation System(FLDAS)models,combined with weighted downscaling methodology and water balance principles,to reconstruct high-resolution(0.01°)terrestrial water storage(TWS)and GWS changes in the Ordos Mining Region,China from April 2002 to December 2021.The accuracy of GWS variations were validated through pumping test measurements.Subsequently,Geodetector analysis was implemented to quantify the contributions of natural and anthropogenic factors to groundwater storage dynamics.Key findings include:1)TWS in the study area showed a fluctuating but overall decreasing trend,with a total reduction of 8901.11 mm during study period.The most significant annual decrease occurred in 2021,reaching 1696.77 mm.2)GWS exhibited an accelerated decline,with an average annual change rate of 44.35 mm/yr,totaling a decrease of 887.05 mm.The lowest annual groundwater storage level was recorded in 2020,reaching 185.69 mm.3)Precipitation(PRE)contributed the most to GWS variation(q=0.52),followed by coal mining water consumption(MWS)(q=0.41).The interaction between PRE and MWS exhibited a nonlinear enhancement effect on GWS changes(0.54).The synergistic effect of natural hydrological factors has a great influence on the change of GWS,but coal mining water consumption will continue to reduce GWS.These findings provide critical references for the management and regulation of groundwater resource in mining regions.

文摘Mine surveying is an indispensable and crucial basic technical work in the process of mineral resource development.It plays an important role throughout the entire life cycle of a mine,from exploration,design,construction,and production to closure,and is known as the“eyes of the mine”.With the rapid development of satellite technology,computer science,artificial intelligence,robotics,and spatiotemporal big data,mine surveying science and technology supported by spatial information technology is increasingly playing the role of the“brain of the mine”.This paper systematically summarizes the characteristics of mining surveying science and technology in contemporary and future mining development.First,based on the requirements of safe,efficient,and green development in modern mining,an analysis is conducted on the innovative practices of intelligent mining methods;secondly,it explains the transformation of regional economic and mining economic integration towards lengthening the industrial chain and scientific and technological innovation.Regarding intelligent mining,this paper discusses three technical dimensions:(1)By establishing a spatiotemporal data model of the mine,real-time perception and remote intelligent control of the production system are realized;(2)Based on the transparent mine three-dimensional geological modelling technology,the accuracy of geological condition prediction and the scientific nature of mining decisions are significantly improved;(3)By integrating multi-source remote sensing data and deep learning algorithms,a high-precision coal and rock identification system is constructed.The study further revealed the innovative application value of mine surveying in the post-mining era,including:diversified utilization of underground space in mining areas(tourism development,geothermal energy storage,pumped storage,etc.),multi-platform remote sensing coordinated ecological restoration monitoring,and optimized land space planning in mining areas.Practice has proved that mine surveying technology is an important technical engine for promoting green transformation and high-quality development in resource-based regions,and has irreplaceable strategic significance for achieving coordinated development of energy,economy,and environment.

文摘Stability of base-exposed backfill roof in underhand drift-and-fill mining is crucial for the safety of those working beneath.Given the commonly used primary-and-secondary mining sequence,interfaces are formed between adjacent filled drifts,which can weaken the integrity of the backfill roof.These interfaces also lead to two common drift layouts:aligned drifts and staggered drifts.However,less attention has been paid to the interfaces and the two drift layouts were not adequately distinguished in previous studies.In this paper,the interfaces between filled drifts were firstly considered to investigate the stability of backfill roof.Failure modes and strength requirements of backfill roof in aligned and staggered drifts are comprehensively investigated by FLAC3D,with a focus on considerations of varied shear parameters of the interfaces.Results show that failure modes in aligned drifts transition from block sliding to top caving,bottom caving or sloughing as the interface cohesion increases from zero to at least half of the backfill cohesion.Further increases in interface cohesion allow aligned drifts to behave as if there are no interfaces between them.The critical stability conditions of backfill roof in aligned drifts were mostly determined by the interface strength instead of the backfill strength.However,the stability of backfill roof in staggered drifts is barely affected by the interface strength.The outcomes are expected to provide references for mining engineers to optimize drift layouts and perform cost-effective backfill roof strength design at mines using underhand drift-and-fill mining method.
文摘In 2021,we published our first special issue on the xu-argument in Chinese Journal of Applied Linguistics.Five years have passed since then.Over this period,second language acquisition(SLA)has undergone substantial changes.For example,the emergence of Large Language Models(LLMs)such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek has begun to reshape language teaching and learning.During the same period,the xu-argument has advanced considerably,both theoretically and methodologically.The present special issue brings together an interview and seven empirical studies,which collectively exemplify these developments.
文摘Processes supported by process-aware information systems are subject to continuous and often subtle changes due to evolving operational,organizational,or regulatory factors.These changes,referred to as incremental concept drift,gradually alter the behavior or structure of processes,making their detection and localization a challenging task.Traditional process mining techniques frequently assume process stationarity and are limited in their ability to detect such drift,particularly from a control-flow perspective.The objective of this research is to develop an interpretable and robust framework capable of detecting and localizing incremental concept drift in event logs,with a specific emphasis on the structural evolution of control-flow semantics in processes.We propose DriftXMiner,a control-flow-aware hybrid framework that combines statistical,machine learning,and process model analysis techniques.The approach comprises three key components:(1)Cumulative Drift Scanner that tracks directional statistical deviations to detect early drift signals;(2)a Temporal Clustering and Drift-Aware Forest Ensemble(DAFE)to capture distributional and classification-level changes in process behavior;and(3)Petri net-based process model reconstruction,which enables the precise localization of structural drift using transition deviation metrics and replay fitness scores.Experimental validation on the BPI Challenge 2017 event log demonstrates that DriftXMiner effectively identifies and localizes gradual and incremental process drift over time.The framework achieves a detection accuracy of 92.5%,a localization precision of 90.3%,and an F1-score of 0.91,outperforming competitive baselines such as CUSUM+Histograms and ADWIN+Alpha Miner.Visual analyses further confirm that identified drift points align with transitions in control-flow models and behavioral cluster structures.DriftXMiner offers a novel and interpretable solution for incremental concept drift detection and localization in dynamic,process-aware systems.By integrating statistical signal accumulation,temporal behavior profiling,and structural process mining,the framework enables finegrained drift explanation and supports adaptive process intelligence in evolving environments.Its modular architecture supports extension to streaming data and real-time monitoring contexts.
