Application of improved and optimized fuzzy neural network in classification evaluation of top coal cavability

Abstract

Longwall top coal caving technology is one of the main methods of thick coal seam mining in China, and the classification evaluation of top coal cavability in longwall top coal caving working face is of great significance for improving coal recovery. However, the empirical or numerical simulation method currently used to evaluate the top coal cavability has high cost and low-efficiency problems. Therefore, in order to improve the evaluation efficiency and reduce evaluation the cost of top coal cavability, according to the characteristics of classification evaluation of top coal cavability, this paper improved and optimized the fuzzy neural network developed by Nauck and Kruse and establishes the fuzzy neural network prediction model for classification evaluation of top coal cavability. At the same time, in order to ensure that the optimized and improved fuzzy neural network has the ability of global approximation that a neural network should have, its global approximation is verified. Then use the data in the database of published papers from CNKI as sample data to train, verify and test the established fuzzy neural network model. After that, the tested model is applied to the classification evaluation of the top coal cavability in 61,107 longwall top coal caving working face in Liuwan Coal Mine. The final evaluation result is that the top coal cavability grade of the 61,107 longwall top coal caving working face in Liuwan Coal Mine is grade II, consistent with the engineering practice.

The Calculation of Inelastic Zone Width of Coal Pillar in Highwall Mining With Backfill

“…Highwall mining technology has many advantages: short infrastructure time, low operating cost, relatively low labor cost, flexibility, easy operation, safety, and recovering small coal pieces. Therefore, major coal-producing countries such as Australia (Huang, 2015), India (Elmouttie and Karekal, 2017), Indonesia (Sasaoka et al, 2016), China (Wang and Zhang, 2019;Wang et al, 2021), and Thailand (Boeut, 2015) have successively introduced this technology from the United States and successfully applied it. At the same time, it has also become the primary method for countries to mine the coal resources pressed under the end-slope.…”

Design of PM2.5 monitoring and forecasting system for opencast coal mine road based on internet of things and ARIMA Mode

“…Analyzing data aims to realize Digital Twin (DT) in the Internet of Things platform, which means that the information exchange between the physical and information layers could be bidirectional [ 6 ]. Classification regression analysis [ 14 ], neural network [ 15 ], time series, and other analysis methods are often used in the prediction work of the service layer, and the use of time series analysis PM2.5 in the service layer has been proved to be feasible [ 16 ]…”
