Loading rate is an important impactor of the mechanical properties, as well as the deformation and failure mode of coal and rock. Using an RMT-301 rock mechanics tester and a Soft Island acoustic emitter, uniaxial compression and acoustic emission (AE) tests were carried out on coal samples under different loading rates. The results show that uniaxial compressive stress-strain curves of the rock samples each consist of four segments: compaction, elasticity, yield, and failure. As the loading rate increased from 0.01mm/s to 0.02mm/s, the peak strength rose, the post-peak deformability dropped, the brittle failure features of anthracite became more obvious, more AE events took place, and AE frequency increased. Energy analysis shows that, the faster the loading rate, the larger the AE count, the faster the energy accumulation, but the fewer the total energy accumulation.

Acoustic emission has a direct correspondence to the internal damage of a material. To determine the effects of the loading rate on the mechanical properties of rock, the initial damage was characterized using the acoustic emission technique when a uniaxial preloading was imposed on a cylindrical rock sample. On this basis, the uniaxial compression test was conducted on sandstone that contains initial damage induced under a range of loading rates. The effects of the initial damage and loading rate on the mechanical properties of rock were analyzed. The uniaxial preloading generated randomly distributed microcracks in the natural rock. The results showed that the acoustic emission and positioning technique can characterize accurately the damage and its position due to preloading. The development of microcracks was found to be strongly dependent on the loading rate. Moreover, the loading rate accelerated the degradation of the rock strength. The effects of the loading rate and initial damage on the mechanical properties of rock are a complicated coupled process. From the experimental test result, a constitutive equation was constructed based on the damage mechanics.

Firstly, I-RPT ultrasonic detector was used to test the wave velocity of karst limestone with different initial microstructure and water content. Then, RMT-150B rock testing machine and DS2-16B acoustic emission system were used to test the acoustic emission (AE) under uniaxial compression. Mechanical properties and AE characteristics were obtained during rock failure. The detailed relationship between stress-strain and AE characteristics was studied in this paper. Research results indicated the following: (1) For samples with many primary fissures and defects, wave velocity in dry state was larger than that in its natural state. From natural state to saturated state, the wave velocity tended to increase. For samples with good integrity, wave velocity increased with increasing of water content. (2) In the dry state, the samples presented tension failure. In saturated state, the samples presented tension-shear failure. For samples with cracks and good integrity, samples showed brittle failure. For samples with many corrosion pores which showed ductile damage under natural and saturated state, the spalling phenomenon was enhanced under saturated state. (3) With increasing of water content, the peak stress and AE peak reduced dramatically. In brittle failure, AE peak could be considered a sign of failure. In ductile failure, AE activity decreased gradually with the decrease of stress. (4) The mechanical properties and AE characteristics corresponding to four main fracture propagation types were also discussed.

To study the effect of loading rate on mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of coal samples, collected from Sanjiaohe Colliery, the uniaxial compression tests are carried out under various levels of loading rates, including 0.001 mm/s, 0.002 mm/s, and 0.005 mm/s, respectively, using AE-win E1.86 acoustic emission instrument and RMT-150C rock mechanics test system. The results indicate that the loading rate has a strong impact on peak stress and peak strain of coal samples, but the effect of loading rate on elasticity modulus of coal samples is relatively small. When the loading rate increases from 0.001 mm/s to 0.002 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 22.67 MPa to 24.99 MPa, the incremental percentage is 10.23%, and under the same condition the peak strain increases from 0.006191 to 0.007411 and the incremental percentage is 19.71%. Similarly, when the loading rate increases from 0.002 mm/s to 0.005 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 24.99 MPa to 28.01 MPa, the incremental percentage is 12.08%, the peak strain increases from 0.007411 to 0.008203, and the incremental percentage is 10.69%. The relationship between acoustic emission and loading rate presents a positive correlation, and the negative correlation relation has been determined between acoustic emission cumulative counts and loading rate during the rupture process of coal samples.

The spherical indentation combined with acoustic emission was used to evaluate the local strength of glass, which is a nondestructive testing approach. However, stress time effect on the local strength of glass during spherical indentation has not been studied before. In the present work, stress time effect was investigated by examining the local strength of unstrengthened and strengthened glass at different loading rates. It is discovered that the local strength of glass increased greatly with the loading rate, which confirmed the time dependence of the fracture on glass. As a typical brittle material, the discreteness of strength date of glass measured by spherical indentation was also analyzed to evaluate the strength of glass correctly.

To study the loading rate dependence of acoustic emissions and the failure mechanism of fractured rock, biaxial compression tests performed on granite were numerically simulated using the bonded particle model in Particle Flow Code (PFC). Uniaxial tests on a sample containing a single open fracture were simulated under different loading rates ranging from 0.005 to 0.5 m/s. Our results demonstrate the following. (1) The overall trends of stress and strain changes are not affected by the loading rate; the loading rate only affects the strain required to reach each stage. (2) The strain energy rate and acoustic emission (AE) events are affected by the loading rate in fractured rock. With an increase in the loading rate, AE events and the strain energy rate initially increase and then decrease, forming a fluctuating trend. (3) Under an external load, the particles within a specimen are constantly squeezed, rotated, and displaced. This process is accompanied by energy dissipation via the production of internal tensile and shear cracks; their propagation and coalescence result in the formation of a macroscopic rupture zone.

Coal bump refers to a sudden catastrophic failure of coal seam and usually causes serious damages to underground mining facilities and staff. Considering the combined coal-rock structure for coal bumps, failure process and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of combined coal-sandstone samples under different loading rates were studied by uniaxial compression tests, and three basic failure modes and bump proneness for coal-rock structure were obtained. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) when loading rate was relatively low, plastic deformation of coal mass fully developed, while surface cracks of coal mass was not apparent and slip along the transfixion crack occurred in the postpeak stage; (2) with the increase in loading rate, surface tensile cracks developed into splitting cracks at the end of the prepeak stage and throughout the postpeak stage, and brittle failure finally happened due to the release of nonlinear step-shaped energy or one-time strain energy release of upper rock mass, resulting in the damage of internal bearing structure and weakening of bearing capacity; (3) the deformation and failure process of combined samples showed obvious phases, and corresponding AE energy release rate could be divided into periodic linear growth and transient growth, while the cumulative energy of AE events has multiple peak points and transient growth with the increase of loading rate; (4) it was demonstrated that two distinct frequency bands existed in AE events, which were about 50 kHz and 150 kHz, and the distribution of AE events near 50 kHz was larger and stronger, representing the main frequency range of cracks in coal mass. According to the damage characteristics and AE parameters for combined samples, an brittle model for coal-rock structure with mutation characteristics was proposed, and three basic failure modes for the combined structure with the increase of loading rate were progressive shear failure, splitting failure, and structural failure, respectively.

Glass fiber reinforced aluminum alloy laminates, such as ARALL, GLARE are used widely for aeronautics and astronautics industry with excellent mechanical properties such as high specific strength, specific Young’s Modulus, high damage tolerance, high resistance to fatigue crack growth and good impact resistance. In order to obtain better mechanical properties, aluminum alloy plates and glass fibers were replaced by magnesium alloy plates and carbon fibers to get carbon fiber-metal laminates based on magnesium alloy. Single cantilever beams were used to examine the influence of loading rate on the interfacial fracture toughness of carbon fiber-metal laminates based on magnesium alloy. The results show that crack propagation is stable at low loading rates whereas unstable at high rates. And loading rates have slight influence on interfacial fracture toughness at low rates range from 1mm/min to 1000mm/min. The fracture toughness at high rates in impact tests is greater than at low rate.

The relationships among the generation of acoustic emission, electromagnetic emission, and the fracture stress of rock grain are investigated, which are based on the mechanism of acoustic emission and electromagnetic emission produced in the process of indenting rock. Based on the relationships, the influence of loading rate on the characteristics of acoustic emission and electromagnetic emission of rock fragmentation is further discussed. Experiment on rock braking was carried out with three loading rates of 0.001 mm/s, 0.01 mm/s, and 0.1 mm/s. The results show that the phenomenon of acoustic emission and electromagnetic emission is produced during the process of loading and breaking rock. The wave forms of the two signals and the curve of the cutter indenting load show jumping characteristics. Both curves have good agreement with each other. With the increase of loading rate, the acoustic emission and electromagnetic emission signals are enhanced. Through analysis, it is found that the peak count rate, the energy rate of acoustic emission, the peak intensity, the number of pulses of the electromagnetic emission, and the loading rate have a positive correlation with each other. The experimental results agree with the theoretical analysis. The proposed studies can lead to an in-depth understanding of the rock fragmentation mechanism and help to prevent rock dynamic disasters.

The crushed gangue materials which are filled into the goaf in solid-backfilling coal mining become the main body of bearing the overburden after the tamping process. Its resistance to deformation is the key to control overburden movement and surface subsidence. Particle breakage affects the resistance to deformation of filling materials. In this paper, a confined compression test of crushed gangue under different loading rates was designed, and the acoustic emission (AE) signal was monitored in the process of confined compression. The test results showed that with the increase of loading rate, the anti-deformation ability of crushed gangue showed a dynamic change process of increasing, decreasing, and then increasing again. With the increase of loading rate, the breakage degree of the samples decreased, the proportion of large-sized gangue increased, the growth period of AE counts showed an obvious hysteresis phenomenon, and the AE activity level of the gangue increased gradually. The research results can not only provide a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the mechanical properties of crushed gangue filling materials but also provide a reference for the engineering application of solid-filling coal mining.
