Abstract:
In the process of top coal caving, coal gangue particles may impact on various parts of the hydraulic support. However, at present, the contact mechanism between coal gangue and hydraulic support is not entirely clear. Therefore, this paper first constructed the accurate mathematical model of the hydraulic cylinder equivalent spring stiffness forming by the equivalent series of different parts of emulsion and hydraulic cylinder, and then built the mesh model of the coal gangue particles and the support's force transmission components; on this basis, the rigid-flexible coupling impact contact dynamic model between coal gangue and hydraulic support was established. After deducing contact parameters and setting impact mode, contact simulations were carried out for coal particles impacting at the different parts of the support and coal/gangue particles impacting at the same component of the support, and the contact response difference in the support induced by the difference in impacted component and coal/gangue properties was compared and studied. The results show that the number of collisions, contact force, velocity and acceleration of impacted part are different when the same single coal particle impact different parts of the support. Various contact responses during gangue impact are more than 40% larger than that of coal, and the difference ratio can even reach 190%.
