Based on the analysis of existing approaches in the prediction of dynamic phenomena of rock pressure, it was established that the basis of most methods is the kinetic concept of the destruction of solids. A team of authors from the Mining Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences has developed a method of geomechanical monitoring of a rock massif state, which consists of analyzing the dynamics of the acoustic active zones formation and predicting the impact hazard based on the established regularities of changes in the geoacoustic activity. This paper proposes an automated method for identifying focal zones, based on preliminary exclusion of background radiation using a non-parametric density estimation method, identifying seismoacoustic active zones by means of probabilistic cluster analysis and parameterizing focal zones by selecting a characteristic ellipsoid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
