Abstract
Efficient execution of the underground coal extraction depends on the accuracy of deformation measurement of the pillars. The basic design information as stress-strain behavior is collected from the laboratory investigation. Contact-based deformation measurement approaches have limitations like data insufficiency, proneness to signal loss, physical damage, etc. In this investigation, a contactless technique like digital image correlation (DIC) has been evaluated for its applicability on coal specimen. Coal specimens from 100-m depth have been investigated for their stress-strain behavior through DIC as well as other conventional methods, i.e., strain gauge and linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). The deformation was found out from a set of images recorded and analyzed using the software StrainMaster. In the image analysis, the optimum subset size was found to be 99 × 99 pixels with a step size of 8 pixels. The average threshold stress levels of crack initiation and crack damage in uniaxial compression were observed to be 43.72% and 63.6%, respectively. DIC exhibits higher sensitivity to deformation of coal as compared to that by LVDT and strain gauges and proven to be a promising and dependable technique for coal pillar analysis.
