An acoustic wave method for evaluating the effectiveness of blast to enhance fragmentation in longwall top coal caving

Abstract The advanced deep hole blasting (ADHB) is commonly used to improve the fragmentation of thick hard top coal in longwall top coal caving (LTCC) mining. This paper presents an acoustic method to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the ADHB. First, the variations of P‐wave velocity of...
