Research on the acoustic emission characteristics and instability correlation effect of the dynamic response of waste dump slopes by Shaoqiang Liu, Hongbao Zhao, Menglai Wang

“…The results show that with the increase of vibration frequency, the damage mode of the slope model gradually changes from sliding of small particles to large-scale landslides, and presents the stage process of "vibration compaction → vibration equilibrium → dynamic instability"; Under the action of low-frequency and high-amplitude, the slope model mainly shows that the tiny particles and the basement gravel slip, which is difficult to capture with the naked eye, while under the action of high-frequency and low-amplitude, the slope surface is damaged in a large area, and the overall model is unstable; The dynamic instability of the waste dump slope is accompanied by obvious acoustic emission activities, and the changes of the characteristic parameters of acoustic emission reveal, to a certain extent, the evolution of the internal state of the slope in the process of dynamic instability of the waste dump slope and its stage characteristics; The amplitude and energy efficiency of acoustic emission in the time domain show obvious fractal characteristics in the dynamic instability of the waste dump slope. …”
