Mechanical properties and microscopic damage characteristics of coal series limestone under coupling effects of high temperature and impact by Peng Wu, Lianying Zhang, Bing Li, Yadong Zheng, Ming Li, Fuqiang Zhu

“…In this study, the impact tests (impact velocities of 6.0–10.0 m/s) on coal-series limestone under real-time high-temperature conditions (25 °C-800 °C) were conducted by the real-time high-temperature split Hopkinson pressure bar (HT-SHPB) testing system, and the microscopic changes in mineral composition under the coupling effect of real-time high-temperature and high strain rate action were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron scanning microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the dynamic stress-strain curve of coal-series limestone under the real-time coupling effect of high temperature and impact during the compaction stage was not significant; As the impact velocity increases and the temperature increases, the plastic characteristics of the dynamic stress-strain curve become more notable, and the brittle failure of the sample is gradually changed into brittle-ductile failure. …”
