Experimental Study on Source Failure Mechanism and Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Red Sandstone Under Uniaxial Compression

Abstract

In order to study the rock fracture mechanism and precursor characteristics, uniaxial compression experiments of red sandstone were carried out. Using acoustic emission technology and digital speckle correlation method as experimental observation means, the evolution characteristics of deformation field and acoustic emission index during rock deformation were studied. The results show that : (1) The deformation concentration of rock deformation localization zone is the main cause of nonlinear evolution of rock stress-strain curve. (2) The volume parameters of different types of cracks in rock acoustic emission change with the relative displacement rate and dislocation rate of deformation localization zone. (3) In terms of failure types, there are more high-frequency components of tensile fracture main frequency, more low-frequency components of shear fracture main frequency, and wider distribution of mixed fracture main frequency. In the time sequence, the spectrum distribution of acoustic emission signals is wide and the amplitude is small at the sudden change time. At the sudden change time, the spectrum distribution of acoustic emission signals becomes narrow, the amplitude increases, and the spectrum distribution of peak points is greatly narrowed. Therefore, it is considered that the spectrum distribution is greatly narrowed can be used as an early warning precursor.
