Abstract

Abstract : Aimed at investigating the differentiation of acoustic emission (AE) signals and fractal precursory characteristics between strong, weak, and no bursting liability coals under uniaxial compression, as well as improving the accuracy of rockburst monitoring and early warning by AE techniques, we experimentally studied the evolution law and differences of AE ring count rate, energy rate, and correlation dimension between different loaded bursting liability coals by the YAW4306 electric mechanical test system and CTA-1 AE monitor. Our experimental results indicated that the AE count and energy of coal samples with different bursting liabilities showed a similar evolution law of "sharp increase-calm-sharp increase" before their main rupture. The active points of AE signals emitted from coal with strong, weak, and no bursting liability appeared at about 85∼90%, 75∼78%, and 51∼55% of the peak stress, respectively. The stronger the bursting liability of coal, the shorter the duration of main rupture and postpeak failure stage, and the greater the AE energy rate in the main rupture. The AE counts of different coals had obvious fractal characteristics, and the AE correlation dimension values of strong and weak bursting liability coal samples presented the phenomenon of "fluctuating rise to a peak value-sharp drop-continuous decrease, " which can be used as a precursory information of coal failure.
