Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to the research of rockburst-related technology. Rock dynamics are related to statics. The object studied by the latter is the force field response of rocks to the surrounding physical environment under static equilibrium conditions, ignoring the inertial effect of medium units. Rock dynamics research studies the effect of the impact load on rock. This research field is closely related to water conservation, hydropower, transportation, railway, energy, mining and construction engineering, protection engineering, and national defense construction. Although there have been no major breakthroughs in the study of rockburst mechanisms, continuous progress is being made in rockburst prediction and early warning systems.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Dynamic mechanical properties and the constitutive relation of rock;
  • The propagation and attenuation law of stress wave in rock mass;
  • Dynamic failure mechanisms and the numerical simulation of rock;
  • Safety and protection in rock engineering;
  • Dynamic stability analysis of rock caves, foundations, and slopes;
  • Rock blasting technology;
  • Study of the mechanism of rockbursts;
  • Dynamic disaster monitoring of rock engineering;
  • New techniques and methods for testing rock dynamic parameters;
  • Other studies related to rock dynamics.

Under dynamic loads, such as blasting, excavation, or quarrying, rocks with fissures are the first to sustain damage, leading to instability in the engineering rock mass. To investigate the kinetic properties of fractured rocks, fractured coal mine sandstone specimens underwent impact compression tests using a dynamic–static combination SHPB (split Hopkinson pressure bar) test device at different loading rates under combined dynamic and static conditions. The damage characteristics of the specimens were analyzed from an energy point of view. The results show that under the dynamic and static combined condition, when five impact loading air pressures are used for loading at different impact rates, the trends of the dynamic stress–strain curves of prefabricated fissured rock samples under various impact pressures were discovered to be similar and were mainly categorized into three main stages of elasticity, yield, and destruction; the specimen’s dynamic compressive strength increases according to a power function relationship; as the average strain rate increases, the dynamic strain increases linearly and the dynamic modulus of elasticity increases in a quadratic relationship, all of which show a significant strain rate effect. The incident energy is a power function of the loading rate. The reflected, transmitted, and absorbed energies by the sample increase with the incident energy. The degree of the sandstone specimen fragmentation gradually grows with increasing impact loading rate and incident energy, as evidenced by a decrease in the scale of the fragments. The absorbed energy in the sample is mainly used for the deformation damage of the rock, and the more intense the fragmentation of the specimen, the more absorbed energy is required. Full article

China’s coal mines have to extend to greater depths for the exploitation of more mineral resources, and they have suffered catastrophic mining-induced disasters, such as rockbursts, water inrushes, coal and gas outbursts, and roof fall accidents. The microseismic monitoring technique is a practical tool for mine safety management, which is extensively utilized in many Chinese coal mines. Microcracks of coal/rock masses are recorded as microseismicities in the field, and the potential mining-induced instabilities can be assessed by in-depth analysis of the microseismic parameters. This study provides a state-of-the-art review of the achievements and developments of the microseismic monitoring technique in coal mines. It also presents some prospects for improving the location accuracy of microseismicity, efficient and intelligent processing of the microseismic data, comprehensive assessment of coal/rock instabilities, and development of new microseismic monitoring equipment. This study is valuable for mine safety management and may contribute to improving the deep mining production. Full article
