Study on Acoustic Emission Characteristics and Damage Evolution Law of Shale under Uniaxial Compression by Wenjie Wu, Chee-Ming Chan, Yilei Gu, Xiaopeng Su

“…Investigating the correlation between acoustic emission (AE) parameters and damage mechanisms in rock mechanics can help understand rock damage evolution under loading and provide a theoretical basis for engineering support and safety detection. Therefore, this paper presents experimental works on the correlation between AE and failure mechanisms of rock mass under uniaxial compression stress, with the aim of capturing the damage evolution leading to a new damage constitutive model. …”
