“…None of these research efforts were found to be successful and able to provide a required solution for the problem of automation. King et al 4 specified the possible utilization of automation in continuous mining operations by using the longwall technique. It was also suggested that the improvement in the health and safety of mine workers will lead to the increase in production.…”

Coal is one of the most important fossil fuels which are available abundantly around the world and meets a major part of the energy needs. Coal can be extracted in blocks by using longwall coal mining using a mechanized shearer. From the last century, the automation in industry has become one of the powerful forces of the production. This paper highlights the development and improvement of automation in longwall coal mining. This paper aims at reviewing the stage wise development of automation in longwall coal mining. The study also discusses the difficulties involved in automation integration to the older production system and also highlights the keys features such as remote-controlled monitoring operation in longwall coal mining. A brief review of major longwall coal mining automation challenges and several changes which has undergone from last 60 years has been presented in this study.

Optimal shape is supposed to remove the damaged material and minimize stresses. In order to validate that, two identical models are created. The first models has a non repaired crack, and the other has a repaired crack with the optimum hole shape Plastic zone size is of crucial importance in this study as it is hypothesized that the hole should be drilled to remove most of this zone. This will leave the rest of the material in virgin state and eliminate any predefined slip planes dislocation.
