The effective revealing of EMR’s mechanism is crucial for dynamic disaster control and management. With this motive, a multi-scale experimental study was conducted in the earlier stage. At the micro-scale, the charge’s existence and non-uniform distribution on rock’s micro-surface were confirmed by atomic force microscope (AFM), and deduced the relationship with load changes. At the meso-scale, the time sequence synchronization and frequency domain consistency of EMR and micro-vibration (MV) in the rock fracture under load have been confirmed. Therefore, it is inferred that the vibration of the crack surface acts as the power source of rock fracture-induced EMR, and the original charge on the crack surface and the charge generated by the new crack surface are the electrical basis of EMR. Based on the above two experimental findings, this paper proposes a new mechanism of rock fracture-induced EMR defined as the electricity-vibration coupling mechanism, stating that, the vibrating charged crack generates the EMR. Subsequently, a generation model was constructed based on vibrating charged crack clusters to elucidate this mechanism. The experimental results demonstrated that the EMR waveform calculated by the model and measured by antenna exhibited good correspondence, thereby verifying the effectiveness of the constructed EMR model. The proposal of this new mechanism and the model further clarified the EMR’s mechanism induced by rock fracture. Moreover, the inter-relationship among crack propagation, vibration, and EMR was developed by this model, which could be immensely beneficial in EMR-based identification and prediction of dynamic disasters in complex mining environments worldwide.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48625,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mining Science and Technology","volume":"34 11","pages":"Pages 1485-1493"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143198115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiments indicated that cyclic loading-unloading stress paths initiate internal damage within coal samples. Under identical creep stress conditions, coal samples with more initial damages had more substantial instantaneous deformation and creep deformation during the creep process.

In the creep stage, the peak area ratio of seepage pores and microfractures (SPM) gradually diminishes. A higher degree of initial damage leads to a more pronounced compaction trend in the SPM of coal samples. Considering the porosity evolution of SPM during the creep process, this study proposes a novel fractional derivative model for the porosity evolution of SPM.

However, the current understanding of rockmass shear behavior is mainly based on shear tests under 2D stress without lateral stress, the shear fracture under 3D stress is unclear, and the relevant 3D shear fracture theory research is deficient. Therefore, this study conducted true triaxial cyclic loading and unloading shear tests on intact and bedded limestone under different normal stress <em>σ</em><sub>n</sub> and lateral stress <em>σ</em><sub>p</sub> to investigate the shear strength, deformation, and failure characteristics. The results indicate that under different <em>σ</em><sub>n</sub> and <em>σ</em><sub>p</sub>, the stress–strain hysteresis loop area gradually increases from nearly zero in the pre-peak stage, becomes most significant in the post-peak stage, and then becomes very small in the residual stage as the number of shear test cycles increases.

The shear residual strength almost linearly increases with <em>σ</em><sub>n</sub>, but shows no significant change with <em>σ</em><sub>p</sub>. Based on the acoustic emission characteristic parameters during the test process, the shear fracture process and microscopic failure mechanism were analyzed. As the shear stress <em>τ</em> increases, the acoustic emission activity, main frequency, and amplitude gradually increase, showing a significant rise during the cycle near the peak strength, while remaining almost unchanged in the residual stage.

High-frequency explosion pressure-time curves were monitored within an equivalent perforation, and computed tomography scanning along with three-dimensional reconstruction techniques were used to investigate fracture propagation patterns. Additionally, the formation mechanism and influencing factors of explosion crack-generated fines (CGF) were clarified by analyzing the morphology and statistics of explosion debris particles.

Explosion load and bedding orientation significantly influence fracture propagation patterns. As initial pressure increases, the fracture mode transitions from bi-wing to 4–5 radial fractures. In parallel bedding shale, radial fractures noticeably deflect along the bedding surface. Vertical bedding facilitates the development of transverse fractures oriented parallel to the cross-section.
