"Visualization inside rock
mass" is a main theme of my lab. To realize it, following
researches are going on:
|
1) |
Application of Fractal distribution cracks model using AE (acoustic emission) to the longwall panels of underground coal mine, |
|
2) |
Development of logging system using the stress wave detected at the drill-bit site of rotary or percussive drilling machines, |
|
3) |
Geometrical complexity of rock structure and its influence on fracturing process, |
|
4) |
Development of interactive VR (virtual reality) Mine as a data mining system for mining management and safety. |
Attached figure shows an example of Fractal distribution cracks
model fabricated using AE analysis data. During uniaxial
compressive loading, the AEs from prism-shape granite specimen
were detected and analyzed in source locations, event energies and
moment tensors to estimate the microcrack configuration. In this
figure, each disk shows a crack. This model is written in VRML
(virtual reality modeling language). Using plug-in browser
CosmoPlayer, etc.), it will be possible to see the model from any
direction and position.
