Abstract

Self-Organization in rock failure progress is simulated by introducing a new nu- merical approach, rock failure progress analysis (RPPA 2D ). Through the analysis of acoustic emission (AE) event time series and the frequency distribution of dam- age group size by correlation function and rescaled range (R/S) analysis method, it is found that the frequency distribution of damage group size complies with a power law (fractal geometry configuration) and the time series of AE event ex- hibits the similar scale-invariant properties and temporal long-range correlation. These fractal geometry configuration properties and long-range correlations are two fingerprints of self-organized criticality, which denonstrates the occurrence of SOC.
