In this article, the acoustic emission tests of uniaxial cyclic load imposed on or released from the sandstone and mudstone were carried out. The deformation and failure characteristics and the law governing the acoustic emission activity were studied. The results of the study show that (1) the variation of acoustic emission events of sandstone and mudstone is law governed and is in agreement with the tendency of stress and strain curve development. (2) The acoustic emission activity of mudstone is most active before peak stress, while sandstone is at peak stress. For the sandstone, when the number of acoustic emission events is the most active, the corresponding acoustic emission energy is not the largest. However, the peak value of acoustic emission events and the peak energy of the mudstone coincide, and the acoustic emission events get to the most intense due to the peak energy. (3) The acoustic emission activity is more severe when a load is imposed on or released from the rock. Compared to loading, the rock damage caused by unloading is even greater. (4) The acoustic emission event at the splitting point is more concentrated. The line of acoustic emission point is basically consistent with the shape of the split.

Uniaxial compression and acoustic emission experiments of calcareous mudstone with different water content were carried out by using microcomputer controlled electro-hydraulic servo compression testing machine control system of YAW series equipped by coal-rock acoustic and electric data acquisition system of CTA-1-type. Mchanical properties and acoustic emission law of calcareous mudstone were studied. It is concluded from experiment result that rock’s elastic modulus and compressive strength both decrease with increase water content but peak stress shows the opposite trend. It is also found that calcareous mudstone is brittleness with low water content but when water content reaches saturation, calcareous mudstone presents plastic features. Acoustic emission curve fits well with stress-strain curve: acoustic emission activity begins intensifying when stress reaches 70% of peak stress, correspondingly, acoustic emission is up to maximum at peak stress. Based on Weibull hypothesis and acoustic emission experiment, damage law of water bearing calcareous mudstone is researched and damage evolution equation with time variable is advanced.

The paper discusses the use of acoustic emission, stress-memory effect, and X-ray computed microtomography (μST) to detect the onset of destruction of specimens of concrete and basalt which are widely used in construction. It is shown that the most informative parameter is acoustic emission activity based on which the onset of the formation of a main crack can be identified. The geometry of the crack is determined using computed X-ray tomography.
