    A fuzzy logic based rippability classification system
    (South African Inst Mining Metallurgy, 2007) Basarir, H.; Karpuz, C.; Tutluoglu, L.
    Due to the environmental constraints and the limitations on blasting, ripping as a ground loosening and breaking method has become more popular in both mining and civil engineering applications. Because of the technological advances in dozer manufacturing techniques, more powerful dozer types are available today. Thus, the ground, previously classified as non-rippable, has become rippable. As a consequence, a more applicable rippability classification system is needed which considers both equipment properties as well as rock properties in all applications. This paper is part of a complementary research work and presents the development of a previously published grading rippability classification system by the application of fuzzy set theory. The integrated rippability classification system considers the combined utilization of the rock and equipment properties, as well as expert opinion. Fuzzy set theory was chosen mainly because it deals well with uncertainty in the choice of variables. Although there are apparent sharp or discontinuous boundaries in existing classification systems, practically most of the factors involved in the ripping process are less well defined and boundaries are more blurred (or fuzzy) or uncertain in nature. Also by means of fuzzy logic it is possible to eliminate bias or subjectivity. The validity of the proposed system was checked by the comparison against existing classification systems and direct ripping production values obtained at studied sites. It is seen that by means of fuzzy logic, the uncertainties are reduced and biased usage of the final ratings that appear in alternative systems are efficiently dealt with.

    Specific energy based rippability classification system for coal measure rock
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008) Basarir, H.; Karpuz, C.; Tutluoglu, L.
    Specific energy is simply defined as the work done per unit volume of rock excavated. Specific energy is an important performance parameter as it relates cutting force to the amount of rock excavated. In this paper the development of a new rippability classification system for coal measure rock based on specific energy is presented. Extensive field and laboratory studies were conducted at six different lignite open pit mines and rock mechanics laboratory. Since both ground and machine properties are incorporated, the rippability classes of rocks and the approximate hourly ripper productions of different dozer types can be assessed by using the developed system.
