1. Investigation of Influential Contexts on Mining-front Seismicity at Kiirunavaara Mine
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/GeoteknologiAbstract : Mining at great depths has become the reality for the mining industry in Sweden, that faces challenges in terms of increasing seismic events and sometimes intrinsically related rock mass failure. Kiirunavaara mine is owned by LKAB (located at north Sweden) and the company has been dealing with seismicity in a daily basis once the mine has been regarded as seismically active since 2007-2008 and presently has the largest seismic monitoring system in the world.

2. Stress dependent flow behavior in sublevel caving mines
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Sublevel caving is an underground mass mining method that utilizes the gravity-induced material flow for ore extraction. The granular flowbehavior is one of the main phenomena describing this mining method’s efficiency; therefore, a good understanding of the flow behavior is essential. READ MORE

4. Identifying Important Features to Minimize Hole Deviation in Percussive Drilling
University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)Abstract : Hole deviation is one of the most significant problems in drilling applications. Deviated holes result in inefficient blasting and have severe economic impacts due to increased equipment consumption. Conversely, straighter holes help in increasing production scales and reduce operational costs. READ MORE
