Analysis on the Difference of Energy Evolution in the Process of Energy Storage Failure of Strong Coal Rush Rock Samples under Different Adaptive Modification Regulation Measures by Fangfang Zhang

“…Samples under different modification measures are classified as initial consolidation stage, elastic stage, stage of plastic deformation, yield failure stage, and late stage, the energy evolution is roughly the same as the sample complete natural condition, but the yield failure stage and the destruction of late stage have an obvious difference, which provides favorable conditions for impact ground pressure to prevent. With the help of three characteristic energy indexes of total strain, elastic strain energy, and dissipative strain energy of rock samples, the evolution law of energy indexes under different modification control measures is analyzed. …”
