The study investigates the energy evolution characteristics of salt rock during deformation and failure under different loading rates, revealing three stages of energy evolution. With increasing loading rates, total energy density and dissipated energy density decrease while elastic energy density increases. Furthermore, a greater dissipated strain energy results in a larger number of fragments produced after rock failure.
The existing uniaxial compression test results of salt rock under different loading rates are used to study its energy evolution characteristics during deformation and failure in this study. First of all, the influence of loading rate on the total energy density, elastic energy density, and dissipated energy density is analyzed. Afterward, the relationship between the number and size of fragments, crushing intensity after rock destruction, and energy density of each part is discussed. The results show that the energy evolution process of salt rock during deformation and failure contains three stages, namely, energy accumulation stage, energy dissipation stage, and energy release stage. With the increase in loading rate, the total energy density and dissipated energy density gradually decrease, whereas the elastic energy density increases. When the volume of rock remains constant, the greater the dissipated strain energy, the more the number of fragments will be produced after rock failure. When the dissipated strain energy remains unchanged, the larger the dissipated strain energy (surface free energy) is, the smaller the number and the larger the size of fragments will be produced. When the total strain energy is constant, the splash rate of the fragments increases with increasing elastic strain energy ratio.
