1 Introduction

Geotechnical engineering problems in civil mining andpetroleum engineering practices [1] the mechanical prop-erties of rock have become the most common measurementin most rock mass classification systems [2 3] In the field ofunderground engineering rocks undergo the complex en-ergy change which includes energy input accumulationdissipation and release [4 5] Consequently the study ofenergy conversion in rock under the loading process has asignificant influence on the stability and safety analyses inrock engineering projects

e deformation and failure process of rock is thegradual damage evolution process driven by energy It wouldbe better to describe the deformation and failure of rocksfrom the perspective of energy [6] Some researchers havecarried out experimental studies and numerical simulationson the variation of energy in the deformation and failureprocess of rocks Based on numerical simulations Ju et al [7]built a three-dimensional finite element model of the porous

also been investigatede experimental results indicate thatthe saturation process greatly reduces the magnitude andrate of energy release [12] Ma et al [13] studied the energydissipation mechanism of the rock deformation processunder the influence of freeze-thaw cycles Li et al [14]established a damage model for the fractured rock based onenergy dissipation According to the full stress-strain curveof rock a new evaluation method of rock brittleness is putforward on the basis of energy evolution [15 16] Chen et al[17] carried out uniaxial compression tests on coal-rockcomposite specimens e strength macroscopic failureinitiation and failure characteristics of coal-rock compositespecimens were studied e abovementioned researchesmainly focus on characteristics of energy under differentconditions or concentrate on a specific energy (strain en-ergy) However a few studies have emphasized the rela-tionship between energy and strength of rock during therock deformation and failure process [18 19]

In this work the uniaxial compression tests were con-ducted for different rocks to study the energy conversioneevolution of the total input energy elastic energy and dis-sipation energy was systematically analyzed during the de-formation and failure process of rock A new energyparameter dissipation energy coefficient was introducedepurpose is to clarify the energy evolution characteristicsBesides the linear relationship between the dissipation energycoefficient and the strength of rock was also established

2 Preparation of the Sample andExperimental Methodology

21 Preparation of the Sample e rock specimens in thisexperiment were mudstone physicochemical slate schistlimestone gneiss sandstone porphyrite dolomite shalemetamorphic sandstone marble quartz schist quartzite di-orite and granite ey were collected from a quarry inShaanxi China All specimens were drilled and processed intoφ50mmtimes 100mm (diametertimes height) standard cylindersenonparallel between the two end faces of the samples waslt0005mme measurement error was within 03mm whenthe diameter was measured along the height of the samples[20] Table 1 presents the basic parameters of the test samples

22 Experimental Apparatus and Scheme e uniaxialcompression tests were conducted on theWDT-1500 testingsystem (Figure 1) which consists of four parts the loadingsystem measuring system power system and control sys-tem [21 22] e WDT test system can provide the axialloading capacity of 1500 kN confining pressure of 80MPaand frequency of 10Hz e WDT-1500 multifunctionalmaterial testing machine used in this paper has a large ri-gidity e control system adopts a DOLI full digital servocontroller imported from Germany which has the charac-teristics of high precision and stability It can control notonly the load but also the displacement and strain and canobtain a good rock full stress-strain curve At the beginningof each test the initial load is 1 kN which ensures fullcontact between the sample and the compression plate

en the loading rate was set to 05mmmin and theloading was applied continuously until the failure occurredDuring the test the data collection interval was 02 s

23 Calculation of Energy It is assumed that the deforma-tion and failure process of rock under the external load is noheat loss [23]e total energy can be calculated according tothe first law of thermodynamics as follows

U Ue

+ Ud (1)

where U is the total energy Ue is the elastic energy and Ud isthe dissipated energy e elastic energy generally stored inrock and the dissipated energy caused the plastic defor-mation and crack propagation in the specimen Figure 2illustrates the relationship between the elastic energy and thedissipated energy of rock elements under uniaxial com-pression conditions [24] As shown in Figure 2 the area ofthe shadow represents the elastic strain energy and the redarea represents the dissipated energy Each energy wascalculated as follows [25]

3 Test Result

31 Stress-Strain Curves Characteristics e deformationand failure process of rock has four stages the compactionstage elastic deformation stage yield stage and failure stage[27]

(1) Compaction stage the stress-strain curve is non-linear which results from the closure of some pri-mary microcracks and pores under the action ofinitial pressure [28]

(2) Elastic deformation stage the stress-strain curve islinear and the slope of linear portions is the elasticmodulus

(3) Yield stage as the stress increases the stress-straincurves gradually depart from the linear It is due tothe fact that the sample gradually transformed fromelastic deformation to elastic-plastic deformation

(4) Failure stage when the peak strength is reachedthe sample shows macroscopic fracture Moreoverthe postpeak curves present two different failurecharacteristics (Figure 3) One shows an apparentbrittle failure characteristic (such as granite dio-rite quartzite limestone gneiss dolomite shalemetamorphic sandstone and quartz schist) andthe other shows an obvious ductile failure char-acteristic (such as mudstone physicochemicalslate schist porphyrite sandstone and marble)[29 30]

32 Characteristics of Total Energy e deformation andfailure process of rock also is the process of the generationexpansion connection and slip of the microcracks egeneration of new cracks needs absorption of energy and thefriction between the crack surfaces dissipate energy Actu-ally the process of rock deformation and failure is theprocess of energy accumulation and dissipation [31]

Figure 4 illustrates the relationships between the totalenergy (U) and axial stress (σ) for different rocks underuniaxial tests As shown in Figure 4 the total energy non-linearly increases with the applied stress in the initialcompaction stage In the elastic deformation stage the totalenergy linearly increases with the increase in stress and thegrowth rate obviously seems to remain constant Afterentering the yield stage the total energy continues to in-crease with the stress but the growth rate gradually de-creases In the failure stage the total energy shows twodifferent trends which results from 15 different rocks withtwo different types of failure characteristics [32 33]

33 Characteristics of Elastic Energy Figure 5 depicts therelationship between the elastic energy and stress for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition eelastic energy hardly increases in the microcracks com-paction stagee reason is that the closure of internal cracks

and pores dissipates a great number of energy and only asmall amount of energy is converted into the elastic energye elastic energy of gneiss and sandstone is around 15 kJm3 and 20 kJm3 respectively (Figures 5(a) and 5(b)) eelastic energy increases linearly with the stress and thegrowth rate reaches the maximum in the elastic stage It wasdue to a stable elastic deformation generated in the sample Itmakes a large amount of the energy transformation into theelastic energy After entering the yield stage the cracks inrock began to develop and expand e elastic energycontinues to increase with the stress but the growth rate ofthe elastic energy gradually decreases e elastic energyreaches the maximum value (the storage limit value) at thepeak point and the maximum elastic energy of shale andmarble is around 320 kJm3 and 430 kJm3 respectively(Figures 5(b) and 5(c)) In the failure stage the elastic energyaccumulated in the sample is released rapidly which makesthe internal cracks of the sample expand rapidly and thesample failed [34]

34 Characteristics of Dissipated Energy e energy dissi-pation is the main factor leading to the internal damage ofrocks [35] Figure 6 shows variation of the dissipated energywith stress for different rocks e dissipated energy rapidlyincreases in the compaction stage e reason is that moreenergy is consumed for the closed friction of the initial cracksand pores in rocks and the creation of new cracks in thestructural redistribution In the elastic stage the growth rateof the dissipated energy is gradually reduced and the dissi-pated energy is relatively low is was due to the generatedrecoverable elastic limit by the sample and it hardly producednew microcracks and internal friction e total energy wasbasically converted into elastic energy and the dissipatedenergy was maintained at a stable level [36 37] e values oflimestone and metamorphic sandstone are stabilized at

around 10 kJm3 and 15 kJm3 respectively (Figures 6(a) and6(b)) After entering the yield stage the dissipated energystarts to steadily increase and the growth rate graduallyincreases is is because the rock deformation transformedfrom linear elasticity into nonlinear elasticity and themicrocracks inside the rock began to expand rapidly andgenerate new cracks In the failure stage the dissipated energysharply increases and exceeds the elastic energy in the end

35 Characteristics of the Dissipation Energy Coefficiente dissipation energy coefficient λ is defined as the ratio ofthe dissipated energy to the elastic energy Figure 7 shows thevariation of the dissipation energy coefficient with stress fordifferent rocks e dissipation energy coefficient has four

evolution stages and three distinct characteristic points(Figure 7(d))

e compaction stage (OA) the point A is called thecompaction point which also is the first characteristic pointof the curve e stress of point A is defined as compactionstrength e dissipation energy coefficient λ rapidly in-creases with stress It is due to the fact that the closure andfriction of the microcrack in the rock consume most of theenergy during the initial compaction stage and only anextremely small amount of energy was converted into theelastic energy erefore the dissipation energy coefficient λrapidly increases with stress

e elastic deformation stage (AB) the point B iscalled the yield point which is the second characteristicpoint of the curve e dissipation energy coefficient λ

decreases as the stress increases and reaches the minimumvalue at the yield point B e reason is the microcracks inthe rock are completely closed at this stage and the totalenergy is basically converted into the elastic energyMoreover there is almost no generation or propagation ofnew cracks at this stage and the energy dissipation isrelatively lowerefore the dissipation energy coefficientλ decreases

e yield stage (BC) the point C is called the peak pointwhich is the third characteristic point of the curve edissipation energy coefficient λ slowly increases as the stressincreases It is due to the new microcracks gradually gen-erated inside the rock Moreover the number of microcracksincreases with increase in stressis result in a rapid growthin dissipated energy and the slow growth of the elastic

energy ence the dissipation energy coefficient λ slowlyincreases as the stress increases

e failure stage (CD) the dissipation energy coeffi-cient λ dramatically increases e reason lies in thefollowing two aspects On the one hand the generation ofthe macroscopic cracks makes the elastic energy to bereleased continuously On the other hand the crackspropagation is accelerated and the relative slip betweenthe particles becomes larger which make the dissipatedenergy to increase rapidly

It can also be seen that the primary and secondary statusof elastic energy and dissipated energy vary during the fourstages In the initial stage of loading Ue and Ud increaseslowly but the increment of Ud is greater than the

increment of Ue Ud dominates at this stage In the elasticstage Ue and Ud increase and the increment in Ud issmaller than that of Ue Ue predominates in the energyconversion process In the plastic deformation stage Ud

increases rapidly while Ue decreases e dominant one isstill elastic energy In the failure stage the elastic energystored in the rock is almost converted into dissipatedenergy At this stage the dissipated energy plays an im-portant role which causes macroscopic damage andstrength loss of the sample

According to Table 2 the relationships between thedissipation energy coefficients and strength at three dif-ferent characteristic points are studied (Figure 8) eresults show that the dissipation energy coefficient linearly

σv σu and σc are defined as compaction strength yieldstrength and peak strength respectively (σuσc) is defined asthe characteristic stress and (λuλc) are defined as the char-acteristic dissipation energy coefficients e relationship be-tween the characteristic stress and the characteristic dissipationenergy coefficient was studied (Figure 9) e characteristicdissipation energy coefficient linearly increases with thecharacteristic stresse fitting function is expressed as follows

4 Discussion and Application

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

e ratio of the total energy of the prepeak to the elasticenergy at the peak is defined as the modified brittlenessindex [40] which can be expressed as follows

where K is the rate of change of the dissipation energycoefficient Figure 10 depicts the relationship between therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient (K) andaxial strain under the uniaxial compression condition Asshown in Figure 10 at the end of the compaction phase therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient has amutation E (the value of K presents positive and negativealternating transformation) At this time initial cracks andpores of the sample were closed Subsequently at the end ofthe elastic deformation phase there is a mutation F (thevalue of K presents negative and positive alternatingtransformation) in the rate of change of the dissipationenergy coefficient It indicates that new cracks begin to crackand expand erefore the mutation E is used as the cri-terion for the initial crack closure of the rock and themutation F is used as the criterion for the new crackpropagation of the rock

In this paper the conventional uniaxial compressiontests for 15 different rocks were conducted e evolutionlaws of the elastic properties dissipative energy and dissi-pative energy coefficient were studiede innovation of thispaper is to put forward a new calculation method of rockstrength (yield strength) and to investigate the relationshipbetween strength and the dissipation energy coefficientMoreover rock is a collection of minerals e connectionbetween mineral composition and particles is closely relatedto the mechanical properties and energy characteristics ofrock [42] erefore further work mainly focuses on theinfluence of the internal structure of rock on the energy

In this work the uniaxial compression tests were con-ducted for different rocks to study the energy conversioneevolution of the total input energy elastic energy and dis-sipation energy was systematically analyzed during the de-formation and failure process of rock A new energyparameter dissipation energy coefficient was introducedepurpose is to clarify the energy evolution characteristicsBesides the linear relationship between the dissipation energycoefficient and the strength of rock was also established

2 Preparation of the Sample andExperimental Methodology

21 Preparation of the Sample e rock specimens in thisexperiment were mudstone physicochemical slate schistlimestone gneiss sandstone porphyrite dolomite shalemetamorphic sandstone marble quartz schist quartzite di-orite and granite ey were collected from a quarry inShaanxi China All specimens were drilled and processed intoφ50mmtimes 100mm (diametertimes height) standard cylindersenonparallel between the two end faces of the samples waslt0005mme measurement error was within 03mm whenthe diameter was measured along the height of the samples[20] Table 1 presents the basic parameters of the test samples

22 Experimental Apparatus and Scheme e uniaxialcompression tests were conducted on theWDT-1500 testingsystem (Figure 1) which consists of four parts the loadingsystem measuring system power system and control sys-tem [21 22] e WDT test system can provide the axialloading capacity of 1500 kN confining pressure of 80MPaand frequency of 10Hz e WDT-1500 multifunctionalmaterial testing machine used in this paper has a large ri-gidity e control system adopts a DOLI full digital servocontroller imported from Germany which has the charac-teristics of high precision and stability It can control notonly the load but also the displacement and strain and canobtain a good rock full stress-strain curve At the beginningof each test the initial load is 1 kN which ensures fullcontact between the sample and the compression plate

en the loading rate was set to 05mmmin and theloading was applied continuously until the failure occurredDuring the test the data collection interval was 02 s

23 Calculation of Energy It is assumed that the deforma-tion and failure process of rock under the external load is noheat loss [23]e total energy can be calculated according tothe first law of thermodynamics as follows

where U is the total energy Ue is the elastic energy and Ud isthe dissipated energy e elastic energy generally stored inrock and the dissipated energy caused the plastic defor-mation and crack propagation in the specimen Figure 2illustrates the relationship between the elastic energy and thedissipated energy of rock elements under uniaxial com-pression conditions [24] As shown in Figure 2 the area ofthe shadow represents the elastic strain energy and the redarea represents the dissipated energy Each energy wascalculated as follows [25]

3 Test Result

31 Stress-Strain Curves Characteristics e deformationand failure process of rock has four stages the compactionstage elastic deformation stage yield stage and failure stage[27]

(1) Compaction stage the stress-strain curve is non-linear which results from the closure of some pri-mary microcracks and pores under the action ofinitial pressure [28]

(2) Elastic deformation stage the stress-strain curve islinear and the slope of linear portions is the elasticmodulus

(3) Yield stage as the stress increases the stress-straincurves gradually depart from the linear It is due tothe fact that the sample gradually transformed fromelastic deformation to elastic-plastic deformation

(4) Failure stage when the peak strength is reachedthe sample shows macroscopic fracture Moreoverthe postpeak curves present two different failurecharacteristics (Figure 3) One shows an apparentbrittle failure characteristic (such as granite dio-rite quartzite limestone gneiss dolomite shalemetamorphic sandstone and quartz schist) andthe other shows an obvious ductile failure char-acteristic (such as mudstone physicochemicalslate schist porphyrite sandstone and marble)[29 30]

32 Characteristics of Total Energy e deformation andfailure process of rock also is the process of the generationexpansion connection and slip of the microcracks egeneration of new cracks needs absorption of energy and thefriction between the crack surfaces dissipate energy Actu-ally the process of rock deformation and failure is theprocess of energy accumulation and dissipation [31]

Figure 4 illustrates the relationships between the totalenergy (U) and axial stress (σ) for different rocks underuniaxial tests As shown in Figure 4 the total energy non-linearly increases with the applied stress in the initialcompaction stage In the elastic deformation stage the totalenergy linearly increases with the increase in stress and thegrowth rate obviously seems to remain constant Afterentering the yield stage the total energy continues to in-crease with the stress but the growth rate gradually de-creases In the failure stage the total energy shows twodifferent trends which results from 15 different rocks withtwo different types of failure characteristics [32 33]

33 Characteristics of Elastic Energy Figure 5 depicts therelationship between the elastic energy and stress for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition eelastic energy hardly increases in the microcracks com-paction stagee reason is that the closure of internal cracks

and pores dissipates a great number of energy and only asmall amount of energy is converted into the elastic energye elastic energy of gneiss and sandstone is around 15 kJm3 and 20 kJm3 respectively (Figures 5(a) and 5(b)) eelastic energy increases linearly with the stress and thegrowth rate reaches the maximum in the elastic stage It wasdue to a stable elastic deformation generated in the sample Itmakes a large amount of the energy transformation into theelastic energy After entering the yield stage the cracks inrock began to develop and expand e elastic energycontinues to increase with the stress but the growth rate ofthe elastic energy gradually decreases e elastic energyreaches the maximum value (the storage limit value) at thepeak point and the maximum elastic energy of shale andmarble is around 320 kJm3 and 430 kJm3 respectively(Figures 5(b) and 5(c)) In the failure stage the elastic energyaccumulated in the sample is released rapidly which makesthe internal cracks of the sample expand rapidly and thesample failed [34]

34 Characteristics of Dissipated Energy e energy dissi-pation is the main factor leading to the internal damage ofrocks [35] Figure 6 shows variation of the dissipated energywith stress for different rocks e dissipated energy rapidlyincreases in the compaction stage e reason is that moreenergy is consumed for the closed friction of the initial cracksand pores in rocks and the creation of new cracks in thestructural redistribution In the elastic stage the growth rateof the dissipated energy is gradually reduced and the dissi-pated energy is relatively low is was due to the generatedrecoverable elastic limit by the sample and it hardly producednew microcracks and internal friction e total energy wasbasically converted into elastic energy and the dissipatedenergy was maintained at a stable level [36 37] e values oflimestone and metamorphic sandstone are stabilized at

around 10 kJm3 and 15 kJm3 respectively (Figures 6(a) and6(b)) After entering the yield stage the dissipated energystarts to steadily increase and the growth rate graduallyincreases is is because the rock deformation transformedfrom linear elasticity into nonlinear elasticity and themicrocracks inside the rock began to expand rapidly andgenerate new cracks In the failure stage the dissipated energysharply increases and exceeds the elastic energy in the end

35 Characteristics of the Dissipation Energy Coefficiente dissipation energy coefficient λ is defined as the ratio ofthe dissipated energy to the elastic energy Figure 7 shows thevariation of the dissipation energy coefficient with stress fordifferent rocks e dissipation energy coefficient has four

evolution stages and three distinct characteristic points(Figure 7(d))

e compaction stage (OA) the point A is called thecompaction point which also is the first characteristic pointof the curve e stress of point A is defined as compactionstrength e dissipation energy coefficient λ rapidly in-creases with stress It is due to the fact that the closure andfriction of the microcrack in the rock consume most of theenergy during the initial compaction stage and only anextremely small amount of energy was converted into theelastic energy erefore the dissipation energy coefficient λrapidly increases with stress

e elastic deformation stage (AB) the point B iscalled the yield point which is the second characteristicpoint of the curve e dissipation energy coefficient λ

decreases as the stress increases and reaches the minimumvalue at the yield point B e reason is the microcracks inthe rock are completely closed at this stage and the totalenergy is basically converted into the elastic energyMoreover there is almost no generation or propagation ofnew cracks at this stage and the energy dissipation isrelatively lowerefore the dissipation energy coefficientλ decreases

e yield stage (BC) the point C is called the peak pointwhich is the third characteristic point of the curve edissipation energy coefficient λ slowly increases as the stressincreases It is due to the new microcracks gradually gen-erated inside the rock Moreover the number of microcracksincreases with increase in stressis result in a rapid growthin dissipated energy and the slow growth of the elastic

energy ence the dissipation energy coefficient λ slowlyincreases as the stress increases

e failure stage (CD) the dissipation energy coeffi-cient λ dramatically increases e reason lies in thefollowing two aspects On the one hand the generation ofthe macroscopic cracks makes the elastic energy to bereleased continuously On the other hand the crackspropagation is accelerated and the relative slip betweenthe particles becomes larger which make the dissipatedenergy to increase rapidly

It can also be seen that the primary and secondary statusof elastic energy and dissipated energy vary during the fourstages In the initial stage of loading Ue and Ud increaseslowly but the increment of Ud is greater than the

increment of Ue Ud dominates at this stage In the elasticstage Ue and Ud increase and the increment in Ud issmaller than that of Ue Ue predominates in the energyconversion process In the plastic deformation stage Ud

increases rapidly while Ue decreases e dominant one isstill elastic energy In the failure stage the elastic energystored in the rock is almost converted into dissipatedenergy At this stage the dissipated energy plays an im-portant role which causes macroscopic damage andstrength loss of the sample

According to Table 2 the relationships between thedissipation energy coefficients and strength at three dif-ferent characteristic points are studied (Figure 8) eresults show that the dissipation energy coefficient linearly

4 Discussion and Application

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

e ratio of the total energy of the prepeak to the elasticenergy at the peak is defined as the modified brittlenessindex [40] which can be expressed as follows

e rate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient(K) is the derivatives of the dissipation energy coefficient tothe axial strain which can be expressed as follows

where K is the rate of change of the dissipation energycoefficient Figure 10 depicts the relationship between therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient (K) andaxial strain under the uniaxial compression condition Asshown in Figure 10 at the end of the compaction phase therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient has amutation E (the value of K presents positive and negativealternating transformation) At this time initial cracks andpores of the sample were closed Subsequently at the end ofthe elastic deformation phase there is a mutation F (thevalue of K presents negative and positive alternatingtransformation) in the rate of change of the dissipationenergy coefficient It indicates that new cracks begin to crackand expand erefore the mutation E is used as the cri-terion for the initial crack closure of the rock and themutation F is used as the criterion for the new crackpropagation of the rock

In this paper the conventional uniaxial compressiontests for 15 different rocks were conducted e evolutionlaws of the elastic properties dissipative energy and dissi-pative energy coefficient were studiede innovation of thispaper is to put forward a new calculation method of rockstrength (yield strength) and to investigate the relationshipbetween strength and the dissipation energy coefficientMoreover rock is a collection of minerals e connectionbetween mineral composition and particles is closely relatedto the mechanical properties and energy characteristics ofrock [42] erefore further work mainly focuses on theinfluence of the internal structure of rock on the energy

5 Conclusions

According to the energy principle the energy characteristicsand evolution of the dissipation energy coefficient for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition wereinvestigated e main conclusions are as follows

(1) e energy evolution characteristics of differentrocks are basically similar at the prepeak but havesignificant differences at the postpeak

(2) Energy evolution provides a good reflection of therock deformation and failure process especiallythe dissipation energy coefficient It increases at

first then decreases to a minimum value increasesslowly and finally increases rapidly Its evolutionstage corresponds closely to the deformationstages of rocks under the uniaxial compressioncondition

(3) e dissipation energy coefficients linearly increasewith the compaction strength but decrease with theyield strength and peak strength

(4) e characteristic dissipation energy coefficientslinearly increase with the characteristic stress

(5) e dissipation energy coefficient can be used notonly to accurately divide the rock deformation stageand calculate the yield strength of rocks but also as anew rock burst tendency criterion

(6) e rate of change of the dissipation energy coeffi-cient shows the mutation E and the mutation Frespectively e mutations indicate the initial poreclosure and new crack propagation of the rock

31 Stress-Strain Curves Characteristics e deformationand failure process of rock has four stages the compactionstage elastic deformation stage yield stage and failure stage[27]

(1) Compaction stage the stress-strain curve is non-linear which results from the closure of some pri-mary microcracks and pores under the action ofinitial pressure [28]

(2) Elastic deformation stage the stress-strain curve islinear and the slope of linear portions is the elasticmodulus

(3) Yield stage as the stress increases the stress-straincurves gradually depart from the linear It is due tothe fact that the sample gradually transformed fromelastic deformation to elastic-plastic deformation

(4) Failure stage when the peak strength is reachedthe sample shows macroscopic fracture Moreoverthe postpeak curves present two different failurecharacteristics (Figure 3) One shows an apparentbrittle failure characteristic (such as granite dio-rite quartzite limestone gneiss dolomite shalemetamorphic sandstone and quartz schist) andthe other shows an obvious ductile failure char-acteristic (such as mudstone physicochemicalslate schist porphyrite sandstone and marble)[29 30]

32 Characteristics of Total Energy e deformation andfailure process of rock also is the process of the generationexpansion connection and slip of the microcracks egeneration of new cracks needs absorption of energy and thefriction between the crack surfaces dissipate energy Actu-ally the process of rock deformation and failure is theprocess of energy accumulation and dissipation [31]

Figure 4 illustrates the relationships between the totalenergy (U) and axial stress (σ) for different rocks underuniaxial tests As shown in Figure 4 the total energy non-linearly increases with the applied stress in the initialcompaction stage In the elastic deformation stage the totalenergy linearly increases with the increase in stress and thegrowth rate obviously seems to remain constant Afterentering the yield stage the total energy continues to in-crease with the stress but the growth rate gradually de-creases In the failure stage the total energy shows twodifferent trends which results from 15 different rocks withtwo different types of failure characteristics [32 33]

33 Characteristics of Elastic Energy Figure 5 depicts therelationship between the elastic energy and stress for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition eelastic energy hardly increases in the microcracks com-paction stagee reason is that the closure of internal cracks

and pores dissipates a great number of energy and only asmall amount of energy is converted into the elastic energye elastic energy of gneiss and sandstone is around 15 kJm3 and 20 kJm3 respectively (Figures 5(a) and 5(b)) eelastic energy increases linearly with the stress and thegrowth rate reaches the maximum in the elastic stage It wasdue to a stable elastic deformation generated in the sample Itmakes a large amount of the energy transformation into theelastic energy After entering the yield stage the cracks inrock began to develop and expand e elastic energycontinues to increase with the stress but the growth rate ofthe elastic energy gradually decreases e elastic energyreaches the maximum value (the storage limit value) at thepeak point and the maximum elastic energy of shale andmarble is around 320 kJm3 and 430 kJm3 respectively(Figures 5(b) and 5(c)) In the failure stage the elastic energyaccumulated in the sample is released rapidly which makesthe internal cracks of the sample expand rapidly and thesample failed [34]

34 Characteristics of Dissipated Energy e energy dissi-pation is the main factor leading to the internal damage ofrocks [35] Figure 6 shows variation of the dissipated energywith stress for different rocks e dissipated energy rapidlyincreases in the compaction stage e reason is that moreenergy is consumed for the closed friction of the initial cracksand pores in rocks and the creation of new cracks in thestructural redistribution In the elastic stage the growth rateof the dissipated energy is gradually reduced and the dissi-pated energy is relatively low is was due to the generatedrecoverable elastic limit by the sample and it hardly producednew microcracks and internal friction e total energy wasbasically converted into elastic energy and the dissipatedenergy was maintained at a stable level [36 37] e values oflimestone and metamorphic sandstone are stabilized at

around 10 kJm3 and 15 kJm3 respectively (Figures 6(a) and6(b)) After entering the yield stage the dissipated energystarts to steadily increase and the growth rate graduallyincreases is is because the rock deformation transformedfrom linear elasticity into nonlinear elasticity and themicrocracks inside the rock began to expand rapidly andgenerate new cracks In the failure stage the dissipated energysharply increases and exceeds the elastic energy in the end

35 Characteristics of the Dissipation Energy Coefficiente dissipation energy coefficient λ is defined as the ratio ofthe dissipated energy to the elastic energy Figure 7 shows thevariation of the dissipation energy coefficient with stress fordifferent rocks e dissipation energy coefficient has four

evolution stages and three distinct characteristic points(Figure 7(d))

e compaction stage (OA) the point A is called thecompaction point which also is the first characteristic pointof the curve e stress of point A is defined as compactionstrength e dissipation energy coefficient λ rapidly in-creases with stress It is due to the fact that the closure andfriction of the microcrack in the rock consume most of theenergy during the initial compaction stage and only anextremely small amount of energy was converted into theelastic energy erefore the dissipation energy coefficient λrapidly increases with stress

e elastic deformation stage (AB) the point B iscalled the yield point which is the second characteristicpoint of the curve e dissipation energy coefficient λ

decreases as the stress increases and reaches the minimumvalue at the yield point B e reason is the microcracks inthe rock are completely closed at this stage and the totalenergy is basically converted into the elastic energyMoreover there is almost no generation or propagation ofnew cracks at this stage and the energy dissipation isrelatively lowerefore the dissipation energy coefficientλ decreases

e yield stage (BC) the point C is called the peak pointwhich is the third characteristic point of the curve edissipation energy coefficient λ slowly increases as the stressincreases It is due to the new microcracks gradually gen-erated inside the rock Moreover the number of microcracksincreases with increase in stressis result in a rapid growthin dissipated energy and the slow growth of the elastic

energy ence the dissipation energy coefficient λ slowlyincreases as the stress increases

e failure stage (CD) the dissipation energy coeffi-cient λ dramatically increases e reason lies in thefollowing two aspects On the one hand the generation ofthe macroscopic cracks makes the elastic energy to bereleased continuously On the other hand the crackspropagation is accelerated and the relative slip betweenthe particles becomes larger which make the dissipatedenergy to increase rapidly

It can also be seen that the primary and secondary statusof elastic energy and dissipated energy vary during the fourstages In the initial stage of loading Ue and Ud increaseslowly but the increment of Ud is greater than the

increment of Ue Ud dominates at this stage In the elasticstage Ue and Ud increase and the increment in Ud issmaller than that of Ue Ue predominates in the energyconversion process In the plastic deformation stage Ud

increases rapidly while Ue decreases e dominant one isstill elastic energy In the failure stage the elastic energystored in the rock is almost converted into dissipatedenergy At this stage the dissipated energy plays an im-portant role which causes macroscopic damage andstrength loss of the sample

According to Table 2 the relationships between thedissipation energy coefficients and strength at three dif-ferent characteristic points are studied (Figure 8) eresults show that the dissipation energy coefficient linearly

4 Discussion and Application

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

e ratio of the total energy of the prepeak to the elasticenergy at the peak is defined as the modified brittlenessindex [40] which can be expressed as follows

5 Conclusions

According to the energy principle the energy characteristicsand evolution of the dissipation energy coefficient for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition wereinvestigated e main conclusions are as follows

(1) e energy evolution characteristics of differentrocks are basically similar at the prepeak but havesignificant differences at the postpeak

(2) Energy evolution provides a good reflection of therock deformation and failure process especiallythe dissipation energy coefficient It increases at

first then decreases to a minimum value increasesslowly and finally increases rapidly Its evolutionstage corresponds closely to the deformationstages of rocks under the uniaxial compressioncondition

(3) e dissipation energy coefficients linearly increasewith the compaction strength but decrease with theyield strength and peak strength

(4) e characteristic dissipation energy coefficientslinearly increase with the characteristic stress

(5) e dissipation energy coefficient can be used notonly to accurately divide the rock deformation stageand calculate the yield strength of rocks but also as anew rock burst tendency criterion

(6) e rate of change of the dissipation energy coeffi-cient shows the mutation E and the mutation Frespectively e mutations indicate the initial poreclosure and new crack propagation of the rock

Figure 4 illustrates the relationships between the totalenergy (U) and axial stress (σ) for different rocks underuniaxial tests As shown in Figure 4 the total energy non-linearly increases with the applied stress in the initialcompaction stage In the elastic deformation stage the totalenergy linearly increases with the increase in stress and thegrowth rate obviously seems to remain constant Afterentering the yield stage the total energy continues to in-crease with the stress but the growth rate gradually de-creases In the failure stage the total energy shows twodifferent trends which results from 15 different rocks withtwo different types of failure characteristics [32 33]

33 Characteristics of Elastic Energy Figure 5 depicts therelationship between the elastic energy and stress for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition eelastic energy hardly increases in the microcracks com-paction stagee reason is that the closure of internal cracks

and pores dissipates a great number of energy and only asmall amount of energy is converted into the elastic energye elastic energy of gneiss and sandstone is around 15 kJm3 and 20 kJm3 respectively (Figures 5(a) and 5(b)) eelastic energy increases linearly with the stress and thegrowth rate reaches the maximum in the elastic stage It wasdue to a stable elastic deformation generated in the sample Itmakes a large amount of the energy transformation into theelastic energy After entering the yield stage the cracks inrock began to develop and expand e elastic energycontinues to increase with the stress but the growth rate ofthe elastic energy gradually decreases e elastic energyreaches the maximum value (the storage limit value) at thepeak point and the maximum elastic energy of shale andmarble is around 320 kJm3 and 430 kJm3 respectively(Figures 5(b) and 5(c)) In the failure stage the elastic energyaccumulated in the sample is released rapidly which makesthe internal cracks of the sample expand rapidly and thesample failed [34]

34 Characteristics of Dissipated Energy e energy dissi-pation is the main factor leading to the internal damage ofrocks [35] Figure 6 shows variation of the dissipated energywith stress for different rocks e dissipated energy rapidlyincreases in the compaction stage e reason is that moreenergy is consumed for the closed friction of the initial cracksand pores in rocks and the creation of new cracks in thestructural redistribution In the elastic stage the growth rateof the dissipated energy is gradually reduced and the dissi-pated energy is relatively low is was due to the generatedrecoverable elastic limit by the sample and it hardly producednew microcracks and internal friction e total energy wasbasically converted into elastic energy and the dissipatedenergy was maintained at a stable level [36 37] e values oflimestone and metamorphic sandstone are stabilized at

around 10 kJm3 and 15 kJm3 respectively (Figures 6(a) and6(b)) After entering the yield stage the dissipated energystarts to steadily increase and the growth rate graduallyincreases is is because the rock deformation transformedfrom linear elasticity into nonlinear elasticity and themicrocracks inside the rock began to expand rapidly andgenerate new cracks In the failure stage the dissipated energysharply increases and exceeds the elastic energy in the end

35 Characteristics of the Dissipation Energy Coefficiente dissipation energy coefficient λ is defined as the ratio ofthe dissipated energy to the elastic energy Figure 7 shows thevariation of the dissipation energy coefficient with stress fordifferent rocks e dissipation energy coefficient has four

evolution stages and three distinct characteristic points(Figure 7(d))

e compaction stage (OA) the point A is called thecompaction point which also is the first characteristic pointof the curve e stress of point A is defined as compactionstrength e dissipation energy coefficient λ rapidly in-creases with stress It is due to the fact that the closure andfriction of the microcrack in the rock consume most of theenergy during the initial compaction stage and only anextremely small amount of energy was converted into theelastic energy erefore the dissipation energy coefficient λrapidly increases with stress

e elastic deformation stage (AB) the point B iscalled the yield point which is the second characteristicpoint of the curve e dissipation energy coefficient λ

decreases as the stress increases and reaches the minimumvalue at the yield point B e reason is the microcracks inthe rock are completely closed at this stage and the totalenergy is basically converted into the elastic energyMoreover there is almost no generation or propagation ofnew cracks at this stage and the energy dissipation isrelatively lowerefore the dissipation energy coefficientλ decreases

e yield stage (BC) the point C is called the peak pointwhich is the third characteristic point of the curve edissipation energy coefficient λ slowly increases as the stressincreases It is due to the new microcracks gradually gen-erated inside the rock Moreover the number of microcracksincreases with increase in stressis result in a rapid growthin dissipated energy and the slow growth of the elastic

energy ence the dissipation energy coefficient λ slowlyincreases as the stress increases

e failure stage (CD) the dissipation energy coeffi-cient λ dramatically increases e reason lies in thefollowing two aspects On the one hand the generation ofthe macroscopic cracks makes the elastic energy to bereleased continuously On the other hand the crackspropagation is accelerated and the relative slip betweenthe particles becomes larger which make the dissipatedenergy to increase rapidly

It can also be seen that the primary and secondary statusof elastic energy and dissipated energy vary during the fourstages In the initial stage of loading Ue and Ud increaseslowly but the increment of Ud is greater than the

increment of Ue Ud dominates at this stage In the elasticstage Ue and Ud increase and the increment in Ud issmaller than that of Ue Ue predominates in the energyconversion process In the plastic deformation stage Ud

increases rapidly while Ue decreases e dominant one isstill elastic energy In the failure stage the elastic energystored in the rock is almost converted into dissipatedenergy At this stage the dissipated energy plays an im-portant role which causes macroscopic damage andstrength loss of the sample

According to Table 2 the relationships between thedissipation energy coefficients and strength at three dif-ferent characteristic points are studied (Figure 8) eresults show that the dissipation energy coefficient linearly

4 Discussion and Application

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

In this paper the conventional uniaxial compressiontests for 15 different rocks were conducted e evolutionlaws of the elastic properties dissipative energy and dissi-pative energy coefficient were studiede innovation of thispaper is to put forward a new calculation method of rockstrength (yield strength) and to investigate the relationshipbetween strength and the dissipation energy coefficientMoreover rock is a collection of minerals e connectionbetween mineral composition and particles is closely relatedto the mechanical properties and energy characteristics ofrock [42] erefore further work mainly focuses on theinfluence of the internal structure of rock on the energy

5 Conclusions

According to the energy principle the energy characteristicsand evolution of the dissipation energy coefficient for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition wereinvestigated e main conclusions are as follows

(1) e energy evolution characteristics of differentrocks are basically similar at the prepeak but havesignificant differences at the postpeak

(2) Energy evolution provides a good reflection of therock deformation and failure process especiallythe dissipation energy coefficient It increases at

first then decreases to a minimum value increasesslowly and finally increases rapidly Its evolutionstage corresponds closely to the deformationstages of rocks under the uniaxial compressioncondition

(3) e dissipation energy coefficients linearly increasewith the compaction strength but decrease with theyield strength and peak strength

(4) e characteristic dissipation energy coefficientslinearly increase with the characteristic stress

(5) e dissipation energy coefficient can be used notonly to accurately divide the rock deformation stageand calculate the yield strength of rocks but also as anew rock burst tendency criterion

(6) e rate of change of the dissipation energy coeffi-cient shows the mutation E and the mutation Frespectively e mutations indicate the initial poreclosure and new crack propagation of the rock

34 Characteristics of Dissipated Energy e energy dissi-pation is the main factor leading to the internal damage ofrocks [35] Figure 6 shows variation of the dissipated energywith stress for different rocks e dissipated energy rapidlyincreases in the compaction stage e reason is that moreenergy is consumed for the closed friction of the initial cracksand pores in rocks and the creation of new cracks in thestructural redistribution In the elastic stage the growth rateof the dissipated energy is gradually reduced and the dissi-pated energy is relatively low is was due to the generatedrecoverable elastic limit by the sample and it hardly producednew microcracks and internal friction e total energy wasbasically converted into elastic energy and the dissipatedenergy was maintained at a stable level [36 37] e values oflimestone and metamorphic sandstone are stabilized at

around 10 kJm3 and 15 kJm3 respectively (Figures 6(a) and6(b)) After entering the yield stage the dissipated energystarts to steadily increase and the growth rate graduallyincreases is is because the rock deformation transformedfrom linear elasticity into nonlinear elasticity and themicrocracks inside the rock began to expand rapidly andgenerate new cracks In the failure stage the dissipated energysharply increases and exceeds the elastic energy in the end

35 Characteristics of the Dissipation Energy Coefficiente dissipation energy coefficient λ is defined as the ratio ofthe dissipated energy to the elastic energy Figure 7 shows thevariation of the dissipation energy coefficient with stress fordifferent rocks e dissipation energy coefficient has four

evolution stages and three distinct characteristic points(Figure 7(d))

e compaction stage (OA) the point A is called thecompaction point which also is the first characteristic pointof the curve e stress of point A is defined as compactionstrength e dissipation energy coefficient λ rapidly in-creases with stress It is due to the fact that the closure andfriction of the microcrack in the rock consume most of theenergy during the initial compaction stage and only anextremely small amount of energy was converted into theelastic energy erefore the dissipation energy coefficient λrapidly increases with stress

e elastic deformation stage (AB) the point B iscalled the yield point which is the second characteristicpoint of the curve e dissipation energy coefficient λ

decreases as the stress increases and reaches the minimumvalue at the yield point B e reason is the microcracks inthe rock are completely closed at this stage and the totalenergy is basically converted into the elastic energyMoreover there is almost no generation or propagation ofnew cracks at this stage and the energy dissipation isrelatively lowerefore the dissipation energy coefficientλ decreases

e yield stage (BC) the point C is called the peak pointwhich is the third characteristic point of the curve edissipation energy coefficient λ slowly increases as the stressincreases It is due to the new microcracks gradually gen-erated inside the rock Moreover the number of microcracksincreases with increase in stressis result in a rapid growthin dissipated energy and the slow growth of the elastic

energy ence the dissipation energy coefficient λ slowlyincreases as the stress increases

e failure stage (CD) the dissipation energy coeffi-cient λ dramatically increases e reason lies in thefollowing two aspects On the one hand the generation ofthe macroscopic cracks makes the elastic energy to bereleased continuously On the other hand the crackspropagation is accelerated and the relative slip betweenthe particles becomes larger which make the dissipatedenergy to increase rapidly

It can also be seen that the primary and secondary statusof elastic energy and dissipated energy vary during the fourstages In the initial stage of loading Ue and Ud increaseslowly but the increment of Ud is greater than the

increment of Ue Ud dominates at this stage In the elasticstage Ue and Ud increase and the increment in Ud issmaller than that of Ue Ue predominates in the energyconversion process In the plastic deformation stage Ud

increases rapidly while Ue decreases e dominant one isstill elastic energy In the failure stage the elastic energystored in the rock is almost converted into dissipatedenergy At this stage the dissipated energy plays an im-portant role which causes macroscopic damage andstrength loss of the sample

According to Table 2 the relationships between thedissipation energy coefficients and strength at three dif-ferent characteristic points are studied (Figure 8) eresults show that the dissipation energy coefficient linearly

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

e ratio of the total energy of the prepeak to the elasticenergy at the peak is defined as the modified brittlenessindex [40] which can be expressed as follows

e rate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient(K) is the derivatives of the dissipation energy coefficient tothe axial strain which can be expressed as follows

where K is the rate of change of the dissipation energycoefficient Figure 10 depicts the relationship between therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient (K) andaxial strain under the uniaxial compression condition Asshown in Figure 10 at the end of the compaction phase therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient has amutation E (the value of K presents positive and negativealternating transformation) At this time initial cracks andpores of the sample were closed Subsequently at the end ofthe elastic deformation phase there is a mutation F (thevalue of K presents negative and positive alternatingtransformation) in the rate of change of the dissipationenergy coefficient It indicates that new cracks begin to crackand expand erefore the mutation E is used as the cri-terion for the initial crack closure of the rock and themutation F is used as the criterion for the new crackpropagation of the rock

In this paper the conventional uniaxial compressiontests for 15 different rocks were conducted e evolutionlaws of the elastic properties dissipative energy and dissi-pative energy coefficient were studiede innovation of thispaper is to put forward a new calculation method of rockstrength (yield strength) and to investigate the relationshipbetween strength and the dissipation energy coefficientMoreover rock is a collection of minerals e connectionbetween mineral composition and particles is closely relatedto the mechanical properties and energy characteristics ofrock [42] erefore further work mainly focuses on theinfluence of the internal structure of rock on the energy

5 Conclusions

According to the energy principle the energy characteristicsand evolution of the dissipation energy coefficient for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition wereinvestigated e main conclusions are as follows

(1) e energy evolution characteristics of differentrocks are basically similar at the prepeak but havesignificant differences at the postpeak

(2) Energy evolution provides a good reflection of therock deformation and failure process especiallythe dissipation energy coefficient It increases at

first then decreases to a minimum value increasesslowly and finally increases rapidly Its evolutionstage corresponds closely to the deformationstages of rocks under the uniaxial compressioncondition

(3) e dissipation energy coefficients linearly increasewith the compaction strength but decrease with theyield strength and peak strength

(4) e characteristic dissipation energy coefficientslinearly increase with the characteristic stress

(5) e dissipation energy coefficient can be used notonly to accurately divide the rock deformation stageand calculate the yield strength of rocks but also as anew rock burst tendency criterion

(6) e rate of change of the dissipation energy coeffi-cient shows the mutation E and the mutation Frespectively e mutations indicate the initial poreclosure and new crack propagation of the rock

evolution stages and three distinct characteristic points(Figure 7(d))

e compaction stage (OA) the point A is called thecompaction point which also is the first characteristic pointof the curve e stress of point A is defined as compactionstrength e dissipation energy coefficient λ rapidly in-creases with stress It is due to the fact that the closure andfriction of the microcrack in the rock consume most of theenergy during the initial compaction stage and only anextremely small amount of energy was converted into theelastic energy erefore the dissipation energy coefficient λrapidly increases with stress

e elastic deformation stage (AB) the point B iscalled the yield point which is the second characteristicpoint of the curve e dissipation energy coefficient λ

decreases as the stress increases and reaches the minimumvalue at the yield point B e reason is the microcracks inthe rock are completely closed at this stage and the totalenergy is basically converted into the elastic energyMoreover there is almost no generation or propagation ofnew cracks at this stage and the energy dissipation isrelatively lowerefore the dissipation energy coefficientλ decreases

e yield stage (BC) the point C is called the peak pointwhich is the third characteristic point of the curve edissipation energy coefficient λ slowly increases as the stressincreases It is due to the new microcracks gradually gen-erated inside the rock Moreover the number of microcracksincreases with increase in stressis result in a rapid growthin dissipated energy and the slow growth of the elastic

energy ence the dissipation energy coefficient λ slowlyincreases as the stress increases

e failure stage (CD) the dissipation energy coeffi-cient λ dramatically increases e reason lies in thefollowing two aspects On the one hand the generation ofthe macroscopic cracks makes the elastic energy to bereleased continuously On the other hand the crackspropagation is accelerated and the relative slip betweenthe particles becomes larger which make the dissipatedenergy to increase rapidly

It can also be seen that the primary and secondary statusof elastic energy and dissipated energy vary during the fourstages In the initial stage of loading Ue and Ud increaseslowly but the increment of Ud is greater than the

increment of Ue Ud dominates at this stage In the elasticstage Ue and Ud increase and the increment in Ud issmaller than that of Ue Ue predominates in the energyconversion process In the plastic deformation stage Ud

increases rapidly while Ue decreases e dominant one isstill elastic energy In the failure stage the elastic energystored in the rock is almost converted into dissipatedenergy At this stage the dissipated energy plays an im-portant role which causes macroscopic damage andstrength loss of the sample

According to Table 2 the relationships between thedissipation energy coefficients and strength at three dif-ferent characteristic points are studied (Figure 8) eresults show that the dissipation energy coefficient linearly

4 Discussion and Application

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

e ratio of the total energy of the prepeak to the elasticenergy at the peak is defined as the modified brittlenessindex [40] which can be expressed as follows

where BIM is one of the methods to determine the pronenessof rock burste judging index is listed in Table 3 [41] Aftera simple derivation the modified brittleness index has acertain relationship with the dissipation energy coefficient

e rate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient(K) is the derivatives of the dissipation energy coefficient tothe axial strain which can be expressed as follows

where K is the rate of change of the dissipation energycoefficient Figure 10 depicts the relationship between therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient (K) andaxial strain under the uniaxial compression condition Asshown in Figure 10 at the end of the compaction phase therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient has amutation E (the value of K presents positive and negativealternating transformation) At this time initial cracks andpores of the sample were closed Subsequently at the end ofthe elastic deformation phase there is a mutation F (thevalue of K presents negative and positive alternatingtransformation) in the rate of change of the dissipationenergy coefficient It indicates that new cracks begin to crackand expand erefore the mutation E is used as the cri-terion for the initial crack closure of the rock and themutation F is used as the criterion for the new crackpropagation of the rock

In this paper the conventional uniaxial compressiontests for 15 different rocks were conducted e evolutionlaws of the elastic properties dissipative energy and dissi-pative energy coefficient were studiede innovation of thispaper is to put forward a new calculation method of rockstrength (yield strength) and to investigate the relationshipbetween strength and the dissipation energy coefficientMoreover rock is a collection of minerals e connectionbetween mineral composition and particles is closely relatedto the mechanical properties and energy characteristics ofrock [42] erefore further work mainly focuses on theinfluence of the internal structure of rock on the energy

5 Conclusions

According to the energy principle the energy characteristicsand evolution of the dissipation energy coefficient for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition wereinvestigated e main conclusions are as follows

(1) e energy evolution characteristics of differentrocks are basically similar at the prepeak but havesignificant differences at the postpeak

(2) Energy evolution provides a good reflection of therock deformation and failure process especiallythe dissipation energy coefficient It increases at

first then decreases to a minimum value increasesslowly and finally increases rapidly Its evolutionstage corresponds closely to the deformationstages of rocks under the uniaxial compressioncondition

(3) e dissipation energy coefficients linearly increasewith the compaction strength but decrease with theyield strength and peak strength

(4) e characteristic dissipation energy coefficientslinearly increase with the characteristic stress

(5) e dissipation energy coefficient can be used notonly to accurately divide the rock deformation stageand calculate the yield strength of rocks but also as anew rock burst tendency criterion

(6) e rate of change of the dissipation energy coeffi-cient shows the mutation E and the mutation Frespectively e mutations indicate the initial poreclosure and new crack propagation of the rock

energy ence the dissipation energy coefficient λ slowlyincreases as the stress increases

e failure stage (CD) the dissipation energy coeffi-cient λ dramatically increases e reason lies in thefollowing two aspects On the one hand the generation ofthe macroscopic cracks makes the elastic energy to bereleased continuously On the other hand the crackspropagation is accelerated and the relative slip betweenthe particles becomes larger which make the dissipatedenergy to increase rapidly

It can also be seen that the primary and secondary statusof elastic energy and dissipated energy vary during the fourstages In the initial stage of loading Ue and Ud increaseslowly but the increment of Ud is greater than the

increment of Ue Ud dominates at this stage In the elasticstage Ue and Ud increase and the increment in Ud issmaller than that of Ue Ue predominates in the energyconversion process In the plastic deformation stage Ud

increases rapidly while Ue decreases e dominant one isstill elastic energy In the failure stage the elastic energystored in the rock is almost converted into dissipatedenergy At this stage the dissipated energy plays an im-portant role which causes macroscopic damage andstrength loss of the sample

According to Table 2 the relationships between thedissipation energy coefficients and strength at three dif-ferent characteristic points are studied (Figure 8) eresults show that the dissipation energy coefficient linearly

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

e ratio of the total energy of the prepeak to the elasticenergy at the peak is defined as the modified brittlenessindex [40] which can be expressed as follows

e rate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient(K) is the derivatives of the dissipation energy coefficient tothe axial strain which can be expressed as follows

where K is the rate of change of the dissipation energycoefficient Figure 10 depicts the relationship between therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient (K) andaxial strain under the uniaxial compression condition Asshown in Figure 10 at the end of the compaction phase therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient has amutation E (the value of K presents positive and negativealternating transformation) At this time initial cracks andpores of the sample were closed Subsequently at the end ofthe elastic deformation phase there is a mutation F (thevalue of K presents negative and positive alternatingtransformation) in the rate of change of the dissipationenergy coefficient It indicates that new cracks begin to crackand expand erefore the mutation E is used as the cri-terion for the initial crack closure of the rock and themutation F is used as the criterion for the new crackpropagation of the rock

In this paper the conventional uniaxial compressiontests for 15 different rocks were conducted e evolutionlaws of the elastic properties dissipative energy and dissi-pative energy coefficient were studiede innovation of thispaper is to put forward a new calculation method of rockstrength (yield strength) and to investigate the relationshipbetween strength and the dissipation energy coefficientMoreover rock is a collection of minerals e connectionbetween mineral composition and particles is closely relatedto the mechanical properties and energy characteristics ofrock [42] erefore further work mainly focuses on theinfluence of the internal structure of rock on the energy

5 Conclusions

According to the energy principle the energy characteristicsand evolution of the dissipation energy coefficient for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition wereinvestigated e main conclusions are as follows

(1) e energy evolution characteristics of differentrocks are basically similar at the prepeak but havesignificant differences at the postpeak

(2) Energy evolution provides a good reflection of therock deformation and failure process especiallythe dissipation energy coefficient It increases at

first then decreases to a minimum value increasesslowly and finally increases rapidly Its evolutionstage corresponds closely to the deformationstages of rocks under the uniaxial compressioncondition

(3) e dissipation energy coefficients linearly increasewith the compaction strength but decrease with theyield strength and peak strength

(4) e characteristic dissipation energy coefficientslinearly increase with the characteristic stress

(5) e dissipation energy coefficient can be used notonly to accurately divide the rock deformation stageand calculate the yield strength of rocks but also as anew rock burst tendency criterion

(6) e rate of change of the dissipation energy coeffi-cient shows the mutation E and the mutation Frespectively e mutations indicate the initial poreclosure and new crack propagation of the rock

4 Discussion and Application

e stress-strain relationship can describe the defor-mation and failure processes of rocks but it also hascertain limitations in some aspects [38] For example it isdifficult to accurately divide the four stages from thestress-strain curve According to equations (4)ndash(7) thedissipation energy coefficient-stress curves of rocks areobtained and three different feature points are deter-mined as shown in (Figure 7(d)) e dissipation energy

coefficient curves of rocks under uniaxial compressionconditions are accurately divided into four stages by threedifferent feature points It approximates the N shapedcorresponding to the four stages of the stress-straincurve By comparative analysis two types of curves thefour stages of the stress-strain curve can be accuratelydivided (Figure 7(d))

It is a difficult task to accurately determine yield strengthof rocks Usually this value can only be approximatedwhich is typically 085sim09 of the peak strength [39] eintroduction of the dissipation energy coefficient provides anew idea for calculating the yield strength of the rock edissipation energy coefficients linearly increase with theyield strength (Figure 8(b)) and the fitting function can beexpressed as follows

λu minus000174σu + 040491 (10)

e yield strength of rocks can be obtained which isbased on equations (2)ndash(8) and (10)

e ratio of the total energy of the prepeak to the elasticenergy at the peak is defined as the modified brittlenessindex [40] which can be expressed as follows

where BIM is one of the methods to determine the pronenessof rock burste judging index is listed in Table 3 [41] Aftera simple derivation the modified brittleness index has acertain relationship with the dissipation energy coefficient

A new criterion for rock burst proneness with index λccan be proposed as follows

e rate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient(K) is the derivatives of the dissipation energy coefficient tothe axial strain which can be expressed as follows

K dλdε

(14)

where K is the rate of change of the dissipation energycoefficient Figure 10 depicts the relationship between therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient (K) andaxial strain under the uniaxial compression condition Asshown in Figure 10 at the end of the compaction phase therate of change of the dissipation energy coefficient has amutation E (the value of K presents positive and negativealternating transformation) At this time initial cracks andpores of the sample were closed Subsequently at the end ofthe elastic deformation phase there is a mutation F (thevalue of K presents negative and positive alternatingtransformation) in the rate of change of the dissipationenergy coefficient It indicates that new cracks begin to crackand expand erefore the mutation E is used as the cri-terion for the initial crack closure of the rock and themutation F is used as the criterion for the new crackpropagation of the rock

In this paper the conventional uniaxial compressiontests for 15 different rocks were conducted e evolutionlaws of the elastic properties dissipative energy and dissi-pative energy coefficient were studiede innovation of thispaper is to put forward a new calculation method of rockstrength (yield strength) and to investigate the relationshipbetween strength and the dissipation energy coefficientMoreover rock is a collection of minerals e connectionbetween mineral composition and particles is closely relatedto the mechanical properties and energy characteristics ofrock [42] erefore further work mainly focuses on theinfluence of the internal structure of rock on the energy

5 Conclusions

According to the energy principle the energy characteristicsand evolution of the dissipation energy coefficient for dif-ferent rocks under the uniaxial compression condition wereinvestigated e main conclusions are as follows

(1) e energy evolution characteristics of differentrocks are basically similar at the prepeak but havesignificant differences at the postpeak

(2) Energy evolution provides a good reflection of therock deformation and failure process especiallythe dissipation energy coefficient It increases at

first then decreases to a minimum value increasesslowly and finally increases rapidly Its evolutionstage corresponds closely to the deformationstages of rocks under the uniaxial compressioncondition

(3) e dissipation energy coefficients linearly increasewith the compaction strength but decrease with theyield strength and peak strength

(4) e characteristic dissipation energy coefficientslinearly increase with the characteristic stress

(5) e dissipation energy coefficient can be used notonly to accurately divide the rock deformation stageand calculate the yield strength of rocks but also as anew rock burst tendency criterion

(6) e rate of change of the dissipation energy coeffi-cient shows the mutation E and the mutation Frespectively e mutations indicate the initial poreclosure and new crack propagation of the rock
