Research on the Disaster-Inducing Mechanism of Coal-Gas Outburst by Fengxiang Nie, Honglei Wang, Liming Qiu

“…To improve the safety status of underground coal mining, this work investigated the evolution process and occurrence mechanism of coal-gas outburst under the coupling action of stress and gas. Results show that increasing either gas pressure or in-situ stress can make coal destroy and destabilize, and the contribution of gas pressure to coal failure is twice that of in-situ stress. …”
