Time–Space Effect of Stress Field and Damage Evolution Law of Compressed Coal-Rock

Along with the increase of mining depth, the dynamic disasters related to the instability and destruction of coal-rock are becoming more and more serious. In this paper, the uniaxial compression model of coal-rock was established by means of the micro particle flow PFC2D software firstly, and then the variation of stress field and damage field of coal-rock were analysed. Finally, the time–space constitutive model of coal-rock was discussed and modified. The research results show that: the compression stress field of coal-rock has obvious time–space effect, and along with the change of compressive stress, the stress field was transferred to the inner coal-rock body; the coal-rock damage evolution process has a similar temporal and spatial relations with the stress field evolution, the number of damage cracks were increasing with the constant change of compressive stress, and transferred to the inner coal-rock body with “string wave” feature; the time–space damage constitutive model of coal-rock established on the basis of local crack and the stress concentration factor of coal-rock was reasonable and effective, the damage degree of the whole coal-rock could be predicted by the variation of local coal-rock stress and cracks. In overall, the successful verification of the time–space relationship of coal-rock damage and stress transfer indicated that the possibility of using the constitutive model developed in this study to investigate coal-rock stability in coal mine.
