“…The assessment of the geomechanical stability [1][2][3] and the safety of operation of various large-scale underground structures [4][5][6], such as tunnels and liquefied gas tanks, remains relevant [7,8], since the conclusions about the current geomechanical and geodynamic problems provided by mining research institutes state [9][10][11]that the tasks of ensuring safety and timely detection of critical situations that arise during the development of deposits and underground spaces remain not fully resolved. New methods and computer technologies make it possible to assess the stress-strain state in rock masses [12][13][14], but one of the widely used methods for such assessment is the acoustic emission (AE) method [15][16][17] , which studies the process of the initial stages of destruction (initiation and accumulation of microscopic cracks) [18] in various materials, such as rocks [19,20], building materials [21], composites [22]. Unlike homogeneous materialsglasses, single crystals, which are destroyed according to a quasi-critical scenario due to the growth of a localized center with the energy release from a limited number of simultaneously growing cracks, the development of damage under mechanical loading of brittle heterogeneous bodies occurs through a gradual accumulation of microcracks, since such materials have many " weak points", primarily in intergranular interlayers [23][24][25].…”
