| Title: | Development of a high-resolution target movement monitoring system for convergence monitoring in mines | |
| Author (s): | Jones, Tristan H. (Tristan Harrison), 1981- | |

| Abstract: | "The research performed for this dissertation has been conducted with the goal of developing a ground convergence monitor that may better meet the needs of some mines, leading to increased use of ground monitoring programs and reduced fatality rates from falling and sliding rock. The developed monitor is a convergence monitor capable of achieving sensitivities similar to those of currently available convergence meters such as tape extensometers. The monitor is inexpensive and is capable of totally remote operation in some circumstances...A physical model of the meter was developed based on experimental results and compared to a derived theoretical model to show that the monitor was capable of accurately reproducing the predicted sensitivity values"--Abstract, p. iii. | |
