Laboratory-Scale Insight into Fractal Dimension Indicators for Seismic Hazard Assessment Associated with Rock Failures

Investigation of acoustic emission (AE) characteristics during laboratory tests of coal samples can provide useful guidance on the recognition of microseismicity (MS) precursors for seismic hazards in underground coal mining. In this study, a methodology, involving fractal dimension indices and a fu...

description Investigation of acoustic emission (AE) characteristics during laboratory tests of coal samples can provide useful guidance on the recognition of microseismicity (MS) precursors for seismic hazards in underground coal mining. In this study, a methodology, involving fractal dimension indices and a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model, was developed and demonstrated using AE monitoring data in a uniaxial loading test of coal samples, which allows for a better and quantitative recognition of AE/MS precursors to seismic hazards associated with rock failures. In this methodology, the fractal dimension indices include six information dimension indices as well as three previously used capacity dimension indices. The assessment results were initially characterised as probabilities belonging to each of four risk levels (none, weak, moderate, and strong), and then output as a comprehensive result corresponding to one of these four risk levels. The results indicated that this developed methodology was able to recognise the AE precursors for rock failures.
