Damage Status and Failure Precursors of Different Coal Impact Types Based on Comprehensive Monitoring of Infrared Radiation and Acoustic Emission

Abstract

Different coal failure impact types exhibit different damage statuses and failure modes, resulting in distinct signal characteristics of infrared radiation (IR) and acoustic emission (AE). This paper combines IR and AE monitoring methods to innovatively establish coal damage and failure precursor warning models and obtains the IR and AE precursor characteristics for different coal failure impact types. This research shows that there is a good correspondence between IR and AE timing and spatial distribution of different coal impact types. As the impact tendency increases, the intensity of IR and AE signals increases with coal failure, and the AE positioning points and IR high-temperature areas tend to concentrate. The coal body gradually changes from tensile failure to shear failure. The shear cracks in the failure stage of coal with no, weak, and strong impact are 39.9%, 50.9%, and 53.7%, respectively. The IR and AE instability precursor point of coal with no, weak, and strong impact occurred at 55.2%, 66.3%, and 93.4% of coal failure, respectively. After the IR and AE combined instability precursor point, the dissipated energy and combined damage variable increase rapidly, and the coal body will undergo instability and failure. The research results provide a theoretical basis for comprehensive monitoring of coal body failure and rock burst.
