Experimental study on the evolution characteristics of dynamic load of hydraulic support top beam during coal caving by HUO Yuming, HU Wenshuo, GAO Peng, YAN Chuan

“…This was primarily reflected in the smaller increase in peak load compared to the initial value at locations farther from the protective beam, as well as a longer time required to reach the peak load. ③ Along the width of the beam, due to the constraints of boundary conditions or the unevenness of the flow process during top coal caving, the peak load at different positions of the beam showed variability, with the maximum increase in peak load compared to the initial value reaching up to 2.4 times the minimum increase.…”
