Bibliography on analysis and design of coal mine structures using finite element techniques

This bibliography is the first part of the final report to the Institute for Mining and Minerals Research (IMMR) for a research project entitled Analysis and Design of Coal Mine Structures Using Finite Element Techniques. There are some 430 citations listed covering publications through mid-1975. The bibliography is divided into three sections: Reference Index, Keyword Index, and Author Index. The Reference Index is further divided into parts which contain listings dealing with references using the finite element method with applications to mining problems, especially coal mining; references related to finite element techniques (solution methods, pre- and post-processors); and references related to coal mining problems not using the finite element method. This document should be of interest and assistance to those who are engaged in research dealing with mining problems, especially coal mining problems. (GRA)
