介绍用于岩石工程设计的新系统方法———机理路径分析方法 ,指出通过研究岩石工程系统内部的机理网络 ,能够预测系统的总的行为特性 ,能够为地下矿山岩石工程问题的优化设计提供可靠的决策依据。 This paper introduces a new system approach for rock engineering design --- mechanism path analysis method. It points out that by studying the mechanism network of rock engineering system, it can predict the general behavior of the system and can provide reliable design for optimization of rock engineering problems in underground mines Decision-making basis.
