Abstract: A generator for dynamic loading of a mine lining simulates an unstable ground structure, such as a "bump" of the formation roof by an explosion of an explosive. The generator /3/ comprises a cylinder /6/ with a piston /7/, the said piston functioning as a percussion member. The bottom of the cylinder /6/ is provided with symmetrical chambers /10/ to place an explosive. The explosive is batched to each of chambers /10/ through holes /8, 9/ made in the flank of the cylinder /6/. Holes /8, 9/ are bored at an angle enabling gravitational filling of the chamber /10/ with an explosive already after initial spragging of the lining section /1/ under test between the floor /2/ and the generator /3/ abutting the roof /5/ of the test-stand. The cylinder /6/ is closed with a limiter /12/ of the stroke of the piston. Between the piston /7/ and the limiter /12/ of its stroke there is a shock-absorbing washer /13/. In the limiter /12/ there are additional holes for release of powder gases.
