Abstract
This paper focuses on the aspects of determining technological parameters and stresses involved in the high-speed extraction of thin coal seams. Given the increasing demands for efficiency and environmental sustainability in coal mining, special attention is given to developing methods that optimize extraction processes while reducing costs and environmental impact. The study is grounded in theoretical calculations and modeling that aid in understanding the mechanisms of stress distribution within the coal seam during high-speed extraction. Key parameters such as the seam geometry, physical and mechanical properties of coal, along with the speed and method of extraction are considered. The primary aim of the research is to develop analytical methods for accurately predicting the optimal working conditions of equipment and minimizing risks associated with high stress levels in the seam. This includes determining optimal cutting speeds, cutting depths, and other critical parameters that ensure maximum productivity with minimal deformation and destruction of the coal seam. As a result, the paper proposes a comprehensive approach to analyzing and optimizing the extraction processes of thin coal seams, considering not only economic efficiency but also safety and environmental aspects. The conducted studies and developed methodologies can be applied in practice to enhance the efficiency of the coal industry, contributing to technological advancement in the field.
