Abstract

Сhanges in acoustic emission spectra of coal samples from the Kuznetsk and Pechora Basins are experimentally studied in uniaxial and triaxial (Karman-type) compression tests. It is shown that the acoustic emission spectral patterns change considerably at the pre-failure stage in the samples under uniaxial compression: the amplitudes of low-frequency components grow while those of high frequencies reduce. Under the Karman-type compression, the amplitudes of low-frequency signals grow while the high-frequency amplitudes do not change much, because lateral hydrostatic pressure impedes opening of vertical fractures.
