Abstract

Structural strength, stiffness, etc. are essential safety performances of mine refuge chamber. In this article, the safety performance of the chamber which is under the impact load was evaluated by the method of numerical analysis. First of all, according to some relative standards, a chamber model was established by applying numerical modeling software. In this way, a method of finite element analysis (FEA) was instituted and we used AUTODUN to simulate the process of transmission of blast waves in the underworkings. On the basis of Fourier transform theory, the spectrum analysis of the blast waves acting on the chamber has been done. In order to obtain the natural frequency, a model analysis of the chamber was made by applying OPTISTRUCT. Then the main frequency and the natural frequency were compared. The result shows that the resonance will not happen so that the safety performance of the chamber meets the demand of engineering safety. The structural strength of the chamber was analyzed by using LS-DYNA, and the result comes out that the pressure throughout the chamber will not cause damage to the chamber. After that, according to the simulation results, we proposed some pieces of advice which will be meaningful for the design and the improvement of the chamber.
