A Development Study of the Latest Technology Used in Mining and Related Industries ; A Japan-Canada Cooperative Project

合作社组织在1991年由一些按专业分组的小型研究小组组成。每个小组的成员都计划了矿山参观和合作研究，并准备了总体组织。该计划开始于通过交流信息和秋田大学和女王大学的代表来解决采矿工程方面的问题。加拿大项目成员于1992年访问了秋田大学、日本矿业和矿业研究所，并举行了会议，讨论：a)加拿大矿业的现状，b)对矿业当前问题的分析，c)如何研究未来的技术发展。研究人员还在秋田大学的合作基础上对个人专业化领域进行了研究和实验。主要研究课题为：a)矿山开挖周边应力分析；b)矿山用精密仪器研制；c)矿山机械自动化；d)矿山加工过程中环境污染防治；d)矿山充填体稳定性；f)大型基坑设计；g)海洋矿产资源开采与运输。日本项目成员访问了皇后大学和CANMET（加拿大矿物和能源技术中心），并参加了1993年在皇后大学举行的“进入21世纪的采矿”国际矿山设计大会，介绍了他们对这项发展研究的发现。研究人员在个人专业领域进行了研究和实验，以推广女王大学最新的采矿技术。

The co-operative organization consisted of some small research reams grouped according to speciality in 1991. The members in each team planed both the visits to the mines and co-operative research and prepared the overall organization. The program started in addressing problems in Mining Engineering through exchanges of information and representatives of Akita University and Queen's University.Canadian project members visited Akita University, Japanese Mines, and Institute for Mining Research & Studies in 1992,and conferences were held to discuss :a) the present condition of the Canadian mining industries,b) an analysis of current problems in the mining industries,c) how technical development should be studied for the future.The researchers also studied and performed experiments in the areas of individual specialization on a co-operative basis at Akita University. The main subjects were :a) stress analysis around mine excavation,b) development of precision instruments for use in mines,c) robotization of mining machines,d) prevention of environmental pollution during processing,d) stability of mine backfill,f) design of large excavations,g) mining and transportation of marine mineral resources.Japanese project members visited both Queen's University and CANMET (Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology), and attended the International Congress on Mine Design "Mining into the 21st Century" at Queen's University to present their findings of this developmental study in 1993. The researchers studied and performed experiments in the areas of individual specialization to promote the latest mining technology at Queen's University.
