Experimental Study on Dynamic Characteristics of Annular Coal Mine Sandstone after Different Temperatures by Qi Ping, Yulin Wu, Qi Gao, Shuo Wang, Kaifan Shen, Chen Wang, Xiangyang Li

“…The findings indicate that with the temperature rising, the volume of samples increases, the mass and density decrease, and the change rate of the physical parameters of the annular sample is a little greater than that of the intact sample; as the temperature goes up, the dynamic tensile strength increases first and then decreases, there is a quadratic polynomial relationship with temperature; both the dynamic strain and the average strain rate decrease first and then increase as the temperature grows, showing a quadratic polynomial relationship with temperature; the damage degree of the annular and intact samples become worse as the temperature improved, and the fragments of specimen increase obviously after 200°C.…”
