Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Role of Energy Transition in Strainbursts

The manifestation of strainbursts is related to the strain energy stored in the rock and how this energy is released and transitioned during unstable dynamic failure. It is of significance to investigate the role of energy evolution and transition during strainbursts and how it is influenced by surrounding rocks. For this purpose, experimental and numerical studies were performed in this study. Composite rock–coal specimens were loaded under the...
