| Summary: | Rock bursts occur frequently in coal mines, and the mechanical properties of saturated coal specimens under coupled static-dynamic loading need to be studied in detail. Comparative tests of coal specimens having different water content under static and static-dynamic loading are conducted using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and RMT-150C test systems. The results demonstrate that the natural specimen strength is greater than that of seven-day (7D) saturated specimens under both uniaxial compression and triaxial static compression loading; however, the dynamic strength of 7D saturated specimens is lower than that of natural specimens under one-dimensional static-dynamic loading. The particle size of the 7D saturated specimens is relatively small under uniaxial static compression and one-dimensional static-dynamic loading, and the specimen particle sizes before and after static triaxial loading tests and three-dimensional static-dynamic loading tests do not exhibit an obvious difference. |
