Experimental Research on Coal and Gas Delay Outburst and AE Characteristics under Conditions of Geostress and Gas Pressure Disturbance by Geng Jiabo, Liu Jiangtong, Li Xiaoshuang, Nie Wen, Zhang Dongming, Xu Jiang

“…The results show that after the geostress increased by 0.11 MPa from 1.80 MPa, an outburst occurs, while in gas accumulation situations, the gas pressure increase of 0.27 MPa from 0.67 MPa induces an outburst; hence, geostress is one of the dominant factors impacting an outburst occurrence. The lasting time of the outburst triggering under geostress disturbance is shorter than that under gas accumulation disturbance, while the duration of the outburst development under gas accumulation conditions is longer than that under geostress conditions. …”
