TY - JOUR TI - Energy evolution of coal subjected to thermo-gas-mechanical coupling AU - Gao Yanan AU - Gao Feng AU - Dong Guanghui AU - Wang Hao AU - Changa Xueyun JN - Thermal Science PY - 2019 VL - 23 IS - 13 SP - 685 EP - 692 PT - Article AB - In this paper, the orthogonal experiment method is employed to design mechanical test of coal under different temperature, confining pressure, and gas pressure. The results of the experiment were analyzed using statistical methods, such as elastic modulus, peak stress, Poisson’s ratio. The linear model is used to describe the mechanical parameters of coal under the influence of temperature, confining pressure, and gas. The energy formula of coal sample under constant confining pressure is deduced. The evolution of input energy, elastic energy, and dissipation energy in coal deformation process are analyzed.
