Experimental Investigation of Energy Evolution in Sandstone Failure during Triaxial Unloading Confining Pressure Tests by Rui Yang, Depeng Ma, Yongjie Yang

“…Therefore, during the excavation of high-stress rock masses, large amounts of elastic energy stored in sandstone can be rapidly released, leading to rock burst disasters. Additionally, during triaxial unloading confining pressure tests, the damage in sandstone when the sample is close to failure increases more rapidly than that during conventional triaxial compression tests because of the unloading effect of the confining pressure. …”
