Optimizing Retention Bunkers in Copper Mines with Numerical Methods and Gradient Descent

This study examines the optimization of ore receiving bins in underground copper mines, targeting the reduction of rapid wear and tear on bin components. The investigation identifies the primary wear contributors as the force exerted by the accumulated ore and the velocity at which ore particles mov...
