Mechanical Properties and Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Thawing Frozen Sandstone by Gengshe Yang, Bo Liang, Hui Liu, Yanjun Shen, Hailiang Jia

“…The strength value is low, the deformation is large, and it exhibits an obvious strain-softening phenomenon. (3) As the temperature increases, the closure level of the saturated sandstone gradually increases, and the crack initiation and expansion levels gradually decrease. (4) Based on the four characteristic stresses of the thawing process of frozen sandstone, the acoustic emission signal can be divided into a quiet period, an increasing period, a frequent period, a sharp increase period, and a decline period. (5) A frozen sandstone damage model was established based on the D-P failure criterion. …”
