Experimental Investigations on Charge Induction and Microseismic Characteristics of the Coal and Rock under Different Loading Rates by Yuchun Liu, Ling Ding, Yangfeng Zhao, Yi Fan, Hongfei Li

“…Before the instability failure, the charge-induced signal and microseismic signal have both synchronous and asynchronous signals, and the amplitude of charge-induced and microseismic signals in each channel is different, which is related to the distance from the position of each sensor to the fracture point of the sample. During the instability failure, the charge induction and microseismic signals of each channel are generated synchronously, and the signal amplitude reaches the maximum values of 50 pC and 6 × 10−3 m/s at the same time. …”
