Analytical and experimental investigation into the resistance of vertical plug flow with coarse particles

Deep-sea mining activities have lately attracted growing interest. Recent research has led to the development of a hydraulic–mechanical hybrid vertical lifting system for deep-sea mining. Predicting the resistance of vertical plug flow in this system is critical for its engineering design. In this paper, an analytical model was developed to...

Effects of the pre-absorption of superabsorbent polymers and the water-cement ratio of paste on the adsorption-desorption of superabsorbent polymers: an NMR study

As an internal curing material, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) can effectively reduce the risk of volume shrinkage of cement-based materials. By preparing the cement paste mixed with SAPs, the amount of pre-absorbed water and the water-cement ratio of paste on the water absorption-release behavior in the fresh cement paste were studied by using...

Characteristics of fly ash blended mortars under ammonium chloride solution leaching

Characteristics of fly ash(FA) blended mortars (50%, 70% and 90%) at different curing ages (28 days and 180 days) under ammonium chloride solution(ACS) leaching were investigated. Mass loss under leaching, initial CaO content, Ca(OH)2 content(CH), content of chemical bonded water, and hydration degree of blended pastes were tested by XRF and DSC...

Research On ADCN Method For Damage Detection Of Mining Conveyor Belt

Belt conveyor is considered as a momentous component of modern coal mining transportation system, and thus it is an essential task to diagnose and monitor the damage of belt in real time and accurately. Based on the deep learning algorithm, this present study proposes a method of conveyor belt damage detection based on ADCN (Adaptive Deep...

Longitudinal tear detection method of conveyor belt based on audio-visual fusion

Conveyor belt tear detection is a very important part of coal mine safety production. In this paper, a new method of detecting conveyor belt damage named audio-visual fusion (AVF) detection method is proposed. The AVF method uses both a visible light CCD and a microphone array to collect images and sounds of the conveyor belt in different...

A Novel Defect Diagnosis Method for Kyropoulos Process Based Sapphire Growth

When sapphire crystal is prepared with Kyropoulos method, the necking-down growth process is a key stage. Sapphire growth defect is a big problem in this stage. However, diagnosing growth defects is subject to the interference of workers subjectivity and accuracy always goes down. To address the problem, a novel defect diagnosis method is...

Infrared spectrum analysis method for detection and early warning of longitudinal tear of mine conveyor belt

A novel approach based on infrared spectrum analysis for early-warning of longitudinal tearing of the conveyor belt was proposed in the paper. Unlike most existing methods, the proposed method monitors the change process of the infrared radiation field of the longitudinal tearing through the infrared thermal imaging technology, and judges...

A contactless measuring speed system of belt conveyor based on machine vision and machine learning

During the operation of the belt conveyor, measuring speed of the belt conveyor is vital to the safe and efficient operation. In the existing measuring speed system, the measurement instrument is required contacting with the surface of the belt. The contact measurement method cannot avoid the occurrence of measuring error caused by slipping...
