Experimental Study on Acoustic Emission and Resistivity Response of Sandstone under Constant Amplitude Cyclic Loading by Kui Wang, Xue Li, Zheng Huang, Mingjie Zhao

“…It also has a three-stage rule: in the initial stage, the deformation is faster and the AE signal is strong; in the constant velocity stage, the deformation develops slowly and the AE signal is also stable; in the acceleration stage, the deformation develops sharply and the AE signal also becomes more intense. With the increase of cyclic loading stress amplitude, or the decrease of cyclic loading frequency, or the decrease of rock sample saturation, the acoustic emission signal generated in each cycle will be stronger. …”
