Research on charge induction law and application of coal samples with different fissures

Abstract

Indoor testing are performed to explore the charge induction law during the uniaxial compression fracture process of coal samples, and the charge time and frequency domain signals of coal samples with different primary fissures are analyzed in the paper. On-site monitoring of charge in different fissures distribution areas of underground coal tunnels, and the charge signals of different drillingdepths in coal seams are analyzed. The results show that the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of multi-fissured coal samples are less than those of less fissured coal samples, and the Poisson’s ratio is greater than those of less fissured coal samples. The charge induction signal intensity during the fracture process of multi-fissured coal samples is relatively low, but it is concentrated at the low frequency of 0–50 Hz in the compacting elasticity stage. The charge signal intensity during the fracture process of coal samples with less fissure is relatively high, and the charge frequency during the reinforcement damage stage is concentrated at a low frequency of 0–50 Hz. Therefore, the sudden appearance of low-frequency charge signals is more suitable as effective precursor information for the instability and failure of less fissured coal bodies. The average charge intensity is small in the multi-fissured area with a drilling depth of 1–4 m in the coal seam, and the average charge intensity of the coal body with less fissures is larger in the 5–12 m region. The on-site charge monitoring results have good consistency with the indoor test results. This study has guiding significance in setting up a charge monitoring warning index of instability failure in different coal body fissures regions.
