Effect of Crushing on Near-Gravity Material Distribution in Different Size Fractions of an Indian Non-Coking CoalBy S. Mohanta, I. D. Behera, B. Sahoo
"Run-of-mine coal contains particles of different sizes with different specific gravities, and when this coal is crushed, the amount of material present in a particular density class changes. This alt

Technical Note: The Palabora High Reach Rig - IntroductionBy D. P. Penswick
The Palabora open pit is scheduled to cease operations in 2002. While the ore body continues below the bottom of the final pit shell, the stripping ratio precludes further economic open pit mining. Pa

A new evaluation method of JRC and its size effectBy T. Saito, S. Murata
An original concept of JRC-diagram that can evaluate JRC and its size-effect by using a fractal model was proposed. In order to confirm the applicability of the JRC-diagram, first, JRC of the tensile
