Abstract
In this study, we established a dynamic ejection coal burst model for a coalmine roadway subject to stress, and held that the stress concentration zone at the roadway side is the direct energy source of this ejection. The formation and development of such burst undergoes three stages: (1) instability and propagation of the cracks in the stress concentration zone, (2) emerging of a layered energy storage structure in the zone, and (3) ejection of coal mass or coal burst due to instability. Moreover, we figured out the initial strength of periodic cracks is parallel to the maximal dominant stress direction in the stress concentration zone and derived from the damage strain energy within the finite area of the zone based on the Griffith energy theory. In addition, we analyzed the formation process of the layered energy storage structure in the zone, simplified it as a simply supported restraint sheet, and calculated the minimum critical load and the internally accumulated elastic energy at the instable state. Furthermore, we established a criterion for occurrence of the coal burst based on the variational principle, and analyzed the coal mass ejection due to instability and coal burst induced by different intensity disturbances. At last, with the stratum conditions of Junde Coalmine as the model prototype, we numerically simulated the load displacement distribution of the stress concentration zone ahead of the working face disturbed by the main roof-fracture-induced dynamic load during the mining process as well as their varying characteristics, and qualitatively verified the above model.
