Cover Story: A step towards characterizing underground strata by capturing machine signals while drilling for bolting in underground mines: This research investigates the monitoring while drilling (MWD) concept for characterizing coalmine roofs. Large-scale drilling experiments in synthesized sandwiched rock samples were carried out at CSIRO’s laboratory to identify whether the drill data differentiate the various strengths associated with the synthesized rock samples.
