Optimal Proportion of Similar Materials and Rockburst Tendency of White Sandstone by Chaoyi Ma, Zhengguo Zhu, Zhichun Fang, Zhaobin Li, Liu Liu

“…The rock specimens with optimal proportions were produced, and the internal energy changes and rockburst mechanisms of the model at different temperatures were discussed. The results show that the rockburst process is closely related to energy, such as thermal energy and elastic strain energy, and the rock failure process can be divided into three main stages: energy accumulation, microcrack formation and propagation, and crack penetration and bursting. …”
