In order to sustainably use coal resources and reduce coal mine accidents, the stability evaluation of roadway roofs is particularly important. The existing methods of roof stability evaluation and control application are greatly disjointed, the relationship between roof stability evaluation and early warning control is ignored, and an intelligent evaluation and calculation control system is lacking. Based on the successful application of the roof-cutting non-pillar mining method in various engineering geology and mining conditions, the roof stability evaluation system, mobile intelligent computing system, and engineering application research are carried out. An evaluation index system for roof stability in the roof-cutting non-pillar mining method is established, including the roof rock integrity and the roof-surrounding rock displacement. A comprehensive evaluation method for roof stability grades is proposed based on the coupling of evaluation index grading criteria and improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP) weight assignment. A handheld mobile intelligent platform for roof stability evaluation, roof hazard zone, and control suggestion is developed. The research results have been applied in the coal mine of Hecaogou with good outcomes. This intelligent stability evaluation system will provide an economical and effective approach to achieving sustainable use of coal resources.

Lommel beam is a non-diffractive vortex beam of high concern recently, widely used in communication and turbulence studies. However, conventional methods of generating Lommel beams, such as using spatial light modulators (SLMs), are limited by their low resolution, poor phase manipulation, and small numerical aperture (NA). Here, non-diffractive Lommel beams based on all-dielectric metasurfaces are proposed. Using the Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase arrangement, the focal depth of the main lobe of the generated beam can reach 75 µm (∼119λ). Additionally, the broadband characteristics of the designed metasurface between 550 and 710 nm are observed. The resulting beam is demonstrated to show excellent self-healing properties by placing up obstacles. We also combine the phase of the Dammann grating with that of the Lommel beam to create a metasurface capable of producing a 1 × 4 Lommel beam array; the generated beams are still characterized by uniformity and non-diffraction. This study provides a new idea for Lommel beam generation with promising applications in optical communication, optical tweezers, and laser fabrication.

Temperature is the fundamental variable used in artificial ground freezing (AGF) design to assess the frozen curtain’s state and carry out an analysis of its mechanical behavior. Therefore, it is important to appropriately understand the temperature variation in the soil during freezing and thawing throughout the construction process of AGF. In this paper, a soil physical state analysis model was established to obtain the one-dimensional distribution curve of the soil temperature field and the temperature variation curve of the soil with temporal, which can be used to explore the soil temperature characteristics during the construction of AGF, so as to scientifically evaluate the physical state of frozen soil and reduce the construction risk. The soil can be divided into three zones during the construction process of AGF, namely the frozen zone, the frozen fringe, and the unfrozen zone. Additionally, Hangzhou muddy silty clay was selected for the indoor model test to verify the correctness of the analytical model. The results show the following: (1) Due to the influence of the latent heat of the phase change, the physical state and temperature of the soil on both sides of the frozen fringe are not the same. It is not appropriate to use the same temperature index to judge whether the soil is frozen or thawed in the project. (2) For Hangzhou muddy silty clay, the freezing index is −1 °C, and the thawing index is 0.9 °C. The research results can provide some guidance for the judgment of the soil state during the AGF of subway cross passages.
