Optimization of the Plastic Area of a Borehole Based on the Gas Extraction Effect and Its Engineering Application

Gas extraction is most commonly used to control gas disasters in coal mines. The distribution of the plastic zone around a borehole and the sealing quality are key factors affecting gas extraction. In this paper, the plastic zone was simulated by COMSOL, and a theoretical equation of the plastic zon...
