Extracting coal from underground or open-pit mines continues to be a vital part of the world economy today. Depending on the depth of the deposit, coal is extracted from underground or open-pit mines. In underground mines, vertical shafts are sunk and then galleries excavated horizontally. In open-pit mines, benches are drilled to allow trucks ...

fatalities in underground coal mine explosions in which methane was a contributing factor. Moreover methane is 21 times more potent for greenhouse gas emissions. The concentration of methane if passed through a range between 5% and 15%, it may lead to explosion. This range of methane is known as the explosive range.

Energy accumulation and dissipation play an important role during the entire process of rock failure. Some flaws, such as preexisting holes, will influence energy accumulation and dissipation. In order to investigate the energy evolution of coal specimen with preexisting holes under uniaxial compression through numerical approaches, the particle simulation method was used in numerical simulations.

Coal production from underground mines is a complex process which involves the interaction of four interrelated components: structure, atmosphere, equipment, and personnel. As the coal is mined, entry and pillar structures are created in the rock which must be protected and maintained for different lengths of time.
