Abstract:
The static mechanical properties of coal rock show anisotropism, which makes the permeability have anisotropic characteristics partly. The dynamic impact mechanical characteristics of structural anisotropic coal under low and medium strain rates were studied by using self-made vertical Split Hopkinson Bar (SHPB) equipment. The peak stress, the strain rate, dynamic elastic modulus and failure characteristics of raw coal with three coring directions were analyzed under the influence of five impact loads and structural anisotropy. The peak stress increases linearly with impact load, and the maximum strain rate and the dynamic elastic modulus increase exponentially with impact load. The coal samples display anisotropic mechanical characteristics. The values of maximum strain rate, peak stress and dynamic elastic modulus are ranked with directions by the perpendicular to bedding direction (Z direction), the parallel to bedding direction (X direction), and the oblique 45° to bedding direction (Y direction). Dynamic mechanical properties of structural anisotropic coal provide a theoretical basis for gas seepage in far-blasting field.
