TY - JOUR TI - An experimental study on the damage and acoustic emission character of raw coalunder uniaxial compression condition AU - Gong Peng AU - Ma Zhan-Guo AU - Ni Xiao-Yan AU - Li Yang AU - Chen Yong-Heng JN - Thermal Science PY - 2021 VL - 25 IS - 6 SP - 4537 EP - 4543 PT - Article AB - In the paper, the acoustic emission character is analyzed using a new damage variable which is defined based on ring-down count or energy count of acoustic emission and the damage model of raw coal under uniaxial compression is thus established. The results show that acoustic emission information can reflect interĀ­nal damage of raw coal and is closely related with primary crack compression and evolutionary course of new crack generation, growth, and connectivity.
