Fuzzy rule based classification method of surrounding rock stability of coal roadway using artificial intelligence algorithm.

As the stability of surrounding rock of coal roadway is affected by many factors, which makes the classification result hard to be consistent with the field practice. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a method for the classification of stability of rock which is present in roadway of coal using the artificial intelligence algorithm. In this paper, the influencing factors of stability of rock which is present in roadway are analyzed, and seven influential factors are selected as classification indexes. To solve the problem of slow convergence speed and easy to fall into the local minimum of the back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN), an improved BP-ANN algorithm based on additional momentum and Levenberg-Marquardt optimization is proposed based on the analysis of the existing improved methods, which improves the convergence speed and avoids the local minimum effectively. Based on the learning model available, classification system based on fuzzy rule have been implemented and yielded better behavior in the situation of uncertain data sets. Finally, the stability classification model of surrounding rocks of coal roadway using BP-ANN was established in MATLAB environment, and the model was applied to 13 data samples of coal roadway for testing, with the identification rate of 92.3%. The experimental results verify that the method proposed based on fuzzy rule classification system in this paper has a high accuracy of type identification and is applicable to the stability classification of surrounding rock in the coal roadway.
