Moreover, the clustering analysis results are used as a training set for K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) methods to realize real-time classification. Prediction of residual strength of materials after pre-fatigue is achieved by introducing AE cumulative counts into two regression analysis prediction models.

Combined with discrete element numerical simulation, the microscopic characteristics of multi-fissure samples and borehole samples are analyzed. The research results indicate that as the fissure dip angle increases, failure occurs gradually along the existing fissures, while the crack development in the borehole samples is mainly concentrated around the holes, and the boreholes have a greater impact than fissures.
