Abstract
Rock is a heterogeneous medium that is composed of minerals of various sizes. Under the action of external loads, the generation, propagation and coalescence of microdefects in the rock mass determines the macroscopic deformation and fracture of rock. To understand the damage law of rock and to reveal the evolution of dynamic failure, a uniaxial compression model was established based on particle flow code. Acoustic emission and energy characteristics of rock damage were analyzed, and the damage constitutive models of rock were discussed. During rock uniaxial compression, acoustic-emission events undergo a relatively quiet, sudden increase and sharp decrease for three periods, which corresponds to the compaction and elastic deformation stage, yield stage and post-peak stage in the stress–strain curve. Before the yield stress is reached, the proportion of bond and strain energies is larger. Friction energy accounts for a small proportion of the total energy, and a reciprocal relationship exists between them. The constitutive model that is based on friction energy can better reflect the variation in stress and strain, then the constitutive model based on acoustic-emission parameters.
