At present, coal bursts in working faces of steeply inclined coal seams (SICSs) have rarely been investigated, and current research focuses on the influences of roof breaking and instability of overlying structures in goaf on coal bursts; however, the stress state of coal masses in working faces being subjected to coal bursts is rarely researched. To overcome the above defects, a model for analysing stresses on coal masses in horizontal section of SICSs was established based on the coal burst that occurred in LW5521‐20, Yaojie No. 3 Coal Mine, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China. Moreover, the mechanism underpinning such a coal burst in SICSs was analysed based on the superposition mechanism of dynamic and static loads. The results show that the side abutment pressure near the roof and floor under the horizontal sections of SICSs is asymmetrically distributed in the vertical direction in which the peak of side abutment pressure near the roof is closer to the working face and therefore is taken as the source of static loads for coal bursts in working faces. When the superimposed dynamic load caused by hanging roof breaking and high static load borne in the coal masses is larger than the critical load for coal burst inception, a coal burst will occur. Furthermore, the superimposed dynamic load induced by coal bursts on the support and the initial static load on the supports are larger than their limiting load, which leads to support collapse and eventually causes dynamic failure of the working face. The coal burst in working faces in horizontal sections of SICSs can be prevented by using deep‐hole presplit blasting in a hard roof, destress blasting in coal masses, and support optimisation of working faces, showing a favourable preventative effect.
Roadway rockbursts seriously restrict the safety production of coal mines; however, the interaction between dynamic loads and roadway surrounding rocks has not been fully considered in existing studies. A dynamic failure analysis model of anchoring supporting structures was established to analyze dynamic effects of stress waves. Taking a rockburst in LW402103 of the Hujiahe coal mine as the case, the theoretical model was well applied and verified. The static cumulative resistance Qs (210.5 kN) which was incurred by deformation of rocks provided the basis (81.93% in the overall real-time resistance Q) of dynamic failures. However, the additional impact resistance Qd (46.43 kN) brought about by the energy release in the failure process of elastic zones triggered impact failures. As a result, under conditions that the overall real-time resistance Q (256.93 kN) exceeded the ultimate resistance [Q] (250.8 kN), the dynamic failure of supports occurred. The in situ application was implemented by taking pressure-relief measures and parameter optimizations of roadway supports, which achieved an effective prevention of rockbursts.

Aiming at roadway rockbursts induced by near-field dynamic disturbances, this study explored the mechanical response and failure mechanism of anchored roadway surrounding rocks under this condition through the similarity simulation experiment and theoretical modeling analysis. Results show that the greater the disturbance energy is, the stronger mechanical response of surrounding rocks while the faster its attenuation. The starting acceleration amplitude is relatively smaller while the braking acceleration amplitude is larger in the bolt densification area, which has a better self-stabilizing ability. Anchored roadway surrounding rocks exhibit local impact failure characteristics, and the region facing disturbance is most seriously damaged. The bolt-mesh-cable support structure shows the good resistance to low-energy disturbances, while the impact failure is induced with damages inside support structure increasing abruptly under high-energy disturbances. The impact resistance of local surrounding rocks can be improved by bolt densification. Based on the failure criterion, the surrounding rocks only undergo impact failure in the region facing disturbance, while quasi-static failure occurs in remaining regions. The experimental and theoretical research results have been verified through in-situ measurements, which can provide an important reference for the mechanism and prevention of roadway rockburst under near-field dynamic disturbance.
With the increase of mining depth, rock burst disasters frequently occur in steeply inclined coal seams. Firstly, this paper analyzes the rock burst of 5521-20 working face in Yaojie No. 3 coal mine and summarizes the characteristics of rock burst in horizontal section mining of steeply inclined extra-thick coal seam (SIETCS). Then, the static load distribution characteristics and the influence of dynamic load in the horizontal section mining of SIETCS are systematically studied by combining theoretical analysis with numerical simulation. On this basis, the mechanism of rock burst in horizontal section mining of SIETCS is put forward, verified by actual measurement. The results show that the SIETCS is “clamped” under the combined action of the same change trend of roof and floor. The maximum principal stress peak values on the roof and floor sides reach 22.0 MPa and 20.5 MPa. The maximum shear stress earned 8.7 MPa and 8.4 MPa, which makes the shear stress concentration in the coal body high and tends to “shear dislocation.” Under this “shear-clamping” action, an approximate “trapezoidal” plastic zone and a “rectangular” stress concentration zone are formed under the section. With the increase of mining depth, the “shear-clamping” action of SIETCS becomes more and more intense. When the roof cantilever reaches the ultimate span and breaks, the intense dynamic load increases the shear stress and failure of coal, which is easy to induce rock burst. The superimposed load greatly affects the area from the roof side to the middle of the working face, and the rock burst is intense. The rock burst is weak on the floor side due to the pressure relief of the surrounding plastic zone. The monitoring results show that the supports pressure and MS events activity on the roof side and near the middle part of the working face is considerable, while the floor side is opposite, which verifies the research results.
We study the 3D-aware image attribute editing problem in this paper, which has wide applications in practice. Recent methods solved the problem by training a shared encoder to map images into a 3D generator's latent space or by per-image latent code optimization and then edited images in the latent space. Despite their promising results near the input view, they still suffer from the 3D inconsistency of produced images at large camera poses and imprecise image attribute editing, like affecting unspecified attributes during editing. For more efficient image inversion, we train a shared encoder for all images. To alleviate 3D inconsistency at large camera poses, we propose two novel methods, an alternating training scheme and a multi-view identity loss, to maintain 3D consistency and subject identity. As for imprecise image editing, we attribute the problem to the gap between the latent space of real images and that of generated images. We compare the latent space and inversion manifold of GAN models and demonstrate that editing in the inversion manifold can achieve better results in both quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Extensive experiments show that our method produces more 3D consistent images and achieves more precise image editing than previous work.
