“The book is filled with tips to the researcher on how to master the craft of doing research overall and specifically how to account for multi-layered cases.”

“Yin covers all of the basic and advanced knowledge for conducting case study and why they are useful for specific research studies without getting lost in the weeds.”

“The applications enhance the original material because it gives the reader concrete examples.”

“Yin is much more in-depth on case study methods both within a general qualitative text and any other case study text I have seen.”

On demand used as recommendation for basic literature for case study research

An essential reading for people doing case studies.

very thoruogh introduction

Very good introduction to Case Study design. I have used case study approach for my PhD study. I would recommend this book for an indepth understanding of case study design for research projects.

Dr Siew Lee School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedic Practice Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen.

The book is a really good introduction to case study research and is full of useful examples. I will recommend as the definitive source for students interested in pursuing this further in their projects.

In our Doctor of Ministerial Leadership (DML), Case Study is the Methodology that is required in this program. Robert Yin's book provides the foundational knowledge needed to conduct research using his Case Study design.

Critical Conditions of Coalburst in a Rectangular Roadway Based on the Energy Extreme Point Method

Coalbursts are one of the most serious disasters in coal mines. Exploring the critical conditions of coalbursts from a theoretical perspective is the basis for realizing early prediction and quantitative prevention of coalburst. Based on the principle of virtual displacement and disturbance response instability theory, we proposed the energy extreme point method for identifying the instability of coal–rock systems and determined the critical conditions (the length of the critical plastic zone and critical load) for coalburst. Based on actual engineering field data, the critical values of the above two indexes were calculated for 15 coalburst mines in China. Finally, we analyzed the effects of coal bursting liability, roadway section size, roof stiffness, coal–rock interlayer property, and support measures on the length of the critical plastic zone and critical load. The results suggest that the calculated length of the critical plastic zone and critical load can be used as early indicators of coalburst. In addition, the length of the critical plastic zone can be used to calculate the elastic deformation energy, allowing the magnitude of the coalburst to be predicted. The critical load can be used to obtain the critical mining depth and safety factor to facilitate mine safety evaluation. The length of the critical plastic zone and critical load obviously decrease with increasing coal bursting liability. As the width-to-height ratio of the roadway increases, the length of the critical plastic zone decreases, while the critical load increases. Increasing roof stiffness leads to increases in both the length of the critical plastic zone and critical load. Increasing the friction coefficient between the coal and rock layers causes the critical plastic zone to decrease and the critical load to increase. Finally, support measures can obviously increase the critical load.

The energy extreme point method for identifying instability in coal-rock systems was proposed.

An analytical model of coalburst in a rectangular roadway considering the mechanical behavior of the coal-rock interface was established.

Critical conditions of 15 coalburst mines in China was calculated based on the energy extreme point method.

Influencing factors of critical conditions of coalburst were analyzed.
