Damage Evolution and Failure Mechanism of Coal Sample Induced by Impact Loading under Different Constraints

Dongliang Ji et al.

Summary: The change in constraints has a crucial influence on the strength and deformation properties of coal samples, with samples without constraint being more damaged. Under unilateral constraint condition, increasing pre-stress greatly reduces cumulative damage. Biaxial constraint condition with a pre-stress ratio of 1:1 results in the least damage. A constitutive model is developed to reproduce damage evolution and mechanical analysis explains the intrinsic mechanism of energy dissipation. These findings provide a rational basis for understanding coal failures under different pre-stressed conditions.

Strength and acoustic emission weakening mechanism of sandstone after prolonged water immersion: Insights from micro-fracture

Tai Cheng et al.

Summary: In this study, a series of tests were conducted on sandstone specimens immersed in water for different durations, and the mechanical properties and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus decreased, while Poisson's ratio increased with the passage of immersion time. The mechanical parameters exhibited exponential correlation with immersion time and linear correlation with water content. The dominant failure mode evolved from tensile failure to shear failure gradually, and the AE intensity and frequency weakened. The weakening in rock strength and AE signals were attributed to the transformation in micro-fracture form induced by the deterioration of grain cementation.

Impact of loading rate on the mechanical behavior of jointed rock

Tao Wang et al.

Summary: The impact of loading rate on the time-dependent behavior of rock masses, particularly jointed rock, is investigated through numerical triaxial compression tests. The study reveals the strain rate effect resulting from the competition between mechanical damping and inertial force, leading to an increase in peak strength with higher loading rates. The step-wise form of stress-strain and kinetic energy can serve as indicators of dynamic failure onset. The significance of loading rate effects is highlighted, with the joint friction coefficient identified as a key factor controlling behavior.

Experimental investigation on the influence on mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of granite after heating and water-cooling cycles

Yuan Cui et al.

Summary: This study investigates the failure characteristics of high temperature granite under different heating-cooling cycles. By conducting uniaxial compression tests and monitoring acoustic emission (AE), it reveals the damage behavior and AE characteristics of the granite at different stages of damage. The results show that increasing the number of heating-cooling cycles leads to irreversible damage to the high temperature rock mass, as evidenced by the increased mass-loss and volume-increase rates and decreased P-wave velocity. The findings also provide insights into the evolution mechanism of microcracks and fracture modes in the rock, which can be valuable in designing geothermal-resource mining schemes and safe mining constructions.

Micro-Fracture Simulation of Rock Under Unloading Condition by Grain-Based Discretized Virtual Internal Bond Method

Yuezong Yang et al.

Summary: Rock burst is a dynamic fracturing process induced by unloading, and its mechanism can be investigated through a grain-based simulation method. The study found that unloading contributes to the generation of tensile cracks and reduces shear cracks. Smaller grain size leads to more cracks, but the ratio of shear cracks to tensile cracks remains constant.
