Mechanical manifestation characteristics and damage evolution law of unloading perturbation damage in surrounding rock of deep roadways by Xinfeng Wang, Tian Jiang, Chuanqi Zhu, Youyu Wei, Yunhui Jiang

“…Results show that: ①Rock deformation and destabilization are closely related to the microstructural properties. There are numerous tiny cracks inside the rocks, which tend to expand and interconnect under external forces, leading to rock fracture. ②Rock damage progresses through five stages: initial compression, linear elastic deformation, nonlinear crack generation, post-peak strain softening and destruction. …”
