Abstract:

High speed camera system is used to record crack propagation on rock surface during the lab rocburst experiment. This paper presents the specific analytical method of crack propagation with high speed images. Crack propagation types and directions are briefly described, and the lengths, growth rate and fractal dimension of cracks are calculated. The results show that the crack grows mainly along the horizontal line on the unloading surface, at a low speed before rockburst and reaches a very high speed abruptly near the burst point. The fractal dimensions demonstrated that the crack turns to be rough when rockburst happens. The study on the crack propagation is benefit to the understanding on the mechanism of rockburst.
