• Description:
  The Spokane Mining Research Division (SMRD) of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has recently developed a dynamic testing machine that imparts a controlled shock to a ground support test panel in order to investigate the effects of seismic loading on the material. Dynamic testing is critical for understanding the mechanical response of ground support used in seismically active locations of a mine. In the past, dynamic testing of ground support has generally been somewhat qualitative, but currently more quantitative testing is being employed. This paper describes the sensors and data acquisition system used to record the dynamic measurements of the shock tests performed by SMRD. It includes a discussion of sensor selection and installation to serve as an initial guide for future research. Testing of ground support and its response to dynamic loading can lead to developments that improve mine worker safety in seismically active underground mines. [Description provided by NIOSH]
