Structural Analysis on Impact-Mechanical Properties of Ultra-High Hydraulic Support

Abstract

With the increase of the mining height, the operational condition of the hydraulic support is getting worse. Since the column and the balance jack are both regarded as rigid structural parts or springs with constant stiffness, this simplification cannot reflect the characteristics of each stage of the working process. To improve the analysis accuracy, a rigidity-variable impact dynamic simulation platform for hydraulic support with ultra-large mining height based on rigidity-flexibility coupling is constructed in this study. Firstly, stress states of hinge joints of the support when parallel surface loads, raising surface loads and down surface loads act on the upper beam were simulated, and critical loads of different hinge joints were recognized. Secondly, dangerous impact positions of support corresponding to different hinge joints were found. Finally, the overall influences of impact loads on stress state of the hydraulic support were summarized. Results show that under 6000 kN impact load, the maximum force variation coefficient at the hinge point of the shield beam of the support roof is 10.5, and it's the most dangerous hinged position. This study has certain guiding significance for the optimization of the support structure.

Research on Dynamic Characteristics of Canopy and Column of Hydraulic Support under Impact Load

“…Li et al [11] studied the mechanical properties and stiffness characteristics of the hydraulic support group under different working conditions through the combination of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, which provided references for the optimization design of hydraulic support. Based on the dynamic model of super large mining height hydraulic support, Yang et al [12] analyzed the impact characteristics of super large mining height hydraulic support and summarized the overall influence of impact load on the stress state of hydraulic support. Zeng et al [13] analyzed the coupling relationship between hydraulic support and surrounding rock, equated the column to a variable stiffness damping system, and analyzed the impact response of each hinge point of the support under different impact loads.…”

“…[1][2][3] Its safety and reliability are very important for the safe mining of coal mines. In order to improve design quality, many researchers have carried out a lot of research on static strength [4][5][6][7] and dynamic behaviors [8][9][10] of hydraulic support.
