Application of Fuzzy Set Theory to Mine Ventilation Control

Application of cut set method to reliability evaluation of mine ventilation networks

Providing a fresh and cool airflow in underground mines is one of the main concerns during mining. Destruction of support systems, the presence of undesirable objects in the airway and distortion of airflow are the parameters involved that would result in pressure loss, which would affect the ventilation network. There are a lot of research works about the ventilation network planning that cons...

Geological intelpretationofmuluple geophysical and other auxiliary data sets has always ken a mnpler and ambiguous experience, even with good quality data sets. lhre are ~ever.4 quantitative methods of integrating gedogical and geophysical data sets for specific exploration targets: classical @ayesian) probability approach, Dempster-Shafer approach, kmy logic approach and AImpen system methods....

Application of VENTSIM 3D and mathematical programming to optimize underground mine ventilation network: A case study

Ventilation is a vital component of an underground mining operation, used to guarantee a safe atmosphere for workers and survive them from the hazardous and toxic gases. In the recent years, engineers have begun to apply new operation research techniques in order to optimize the ventilation systems to assist in achieving a regulatory compliance, reduce ventilation costs, and improve its efficie...

A supply chain application of fuzzy set theory to inventory control models - DRP system analysis

As competition abounds, the efficient solution on inventory control of a DRP’s (Distribution Requirement Planning) supply chain management is a vital success factor for companies in today’s business world. A stochastic program of market distribution and its deterministic equivalent control program is approximated by a multi-echelon lot-sizing model based on ‘‘risk inflated effective demands”. T...
