Abstract
This study represents the results of linear dynamics analysis of glass plates subjected to rock pieces impacts occurring in underground machines’ windows. The aim of the work is to provide analytical and numerical solutions, obtain frequencies and plate displacement, and compare results of stress calculation for different models. The work performs finite element method (FEM) computations within a modal analysis in 3D statement including a mesh-size convergence analysis. Given approach is a basement for estimation of safety work conditions for operators in cabins of underground mining vehicles when glass windows are subjected to rock bursts and damages.
