The excavation-unloading damage effects of western high-geostress slopes on rock were explored by testing the pre-peak confining pressure unloading sandstone reloading mechanical properties. The deformation and failure mechanisms were studied from a mesoscopic perspective using the particle discrete-element method. (1) Approaching the unloading failure, confining pressure increased the specimen bearing capacity attenuation. (2) The confining pressure unloading promoted microdefect propagation and development; the specimens increased rapidly to the damage stress value after reaching the initiation stress value. The penetration fracture zone was more evident and expansive in the model, and the distribution of the dense crack areas was more concentrated in the fracture zone and area. (3) The average interval of the tangential contact force was the largest in the direction of crack expansion and propagation. The strong force chains were shown to primarily bear external loads, whereas the weak force chains played a key auxiliary role in maintaining stability. (4) The number of cracks developing in the confining pressure unloading damage process indicated that the loading process did not cause damage to the specimens. The fracture zones further propagated and formed on the dominant fractures based on the damage caused by the confining pressure unloading disturbance.

“…From the current research status on the strength characteristics of rocks under cyclic loading and unloading, as mentioned above, it is evident that studying the deterioration mechanisms of rocks under cyclic loading and unloading is a highly significant topic [28,29]. Currently, the mechanical characteristics of rock are primarily assessed through uniaxial compression tests, while there is a lack of research on cyclic loading and unloading tests for rock.…”

To investigate the dynamic response of fractured rock under cyclic loading and unloading, a WHY-300/10 microcomputer-controlled electro-hydraulic servo universal testing machine was used to conduct uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading tests. Simultaneously, acoustic emission (AE) and a CCD high-speed camera were employed to monitor the fracturing characteristics of sandstone. The mechanical properties, energy evolution, AE characteristics, and deformation of 45° sandstone were analyzed. The results indicate that as the load cycle level increases, both the elastic modulus and deformation modulus exhibit a “parabolic” increase, with a rapid rise initially and a slower rate of increase later. The damping ratio generally shows a decreasing trend but tends to rise near the peak load. The total energy, elastic energy, dissipated energy, damping energy, and damage energy all follow exponential function increases with the load level. The b-value fluctuates significantly during the stable crack propagation phase, unstable crack propagation phase, and peak phase. When the FR (Felicity ratio > 1), the rock is relatively stable; when the FR (Felicity ratio < 1), the rock gradually extends towards an unstable state. The Felicity ratio can be used as a predictive tool for the precursors of rock failure. Shear fractures dominate during the compaction and peak phases, while tensile fractures dominate during the crack propagation phase, ultimately leading to a failure characterized by tensile fracture. High-speed camera observations revealed that deformation first occurs at the tips of the prefabricated cracks and gradually spreads and deflects toward the ends of the sandstone. This study provides theoretical support for exploring the mechanical behavior and mechanisms of fractured rock under cyclic loading and unloading, and it has significant practical implications.

In underground engineering, shear failure is a common failure type in coal-rock mass under medium and low strain-rate disturbance loads. Analyzing the shear failure mechanical properties of coal-rock mass under dynamic normal load is significant. In order to reveal the influence of disturbance load on the shear mechanical properties of coal rock, a dynamic and static load coupling electro-hydraulic servo testing machine was used to conduct the shear tests of coal-like rock materials under dynamic and constant normal load. The amplitude of dynamic load is 10 kN and the frequency is 5 Hz. The damage process of the specimens was detected by the acoustic emission (AE) detection system. The results imply that the shear failure process of coal-like rock materials under constant normal load can be divided into four stages. The normal disturbance decreased the shear strength of the specimens and increased the shear modulus of the specimens. With the increase in normal load, the influence of disturbance on the shear strength of the specimen decreased. By analyzing the AE parameters, it was found that the dynamic load made the internal damage of the specimen more severe during the shear failure process. The damage variable was calculated by AE cumulative energy, and the damage evolution was divided into three stages. The shear failure mechanism of the specimen was judged by RA (rise time/amplitude) and AF (average frequency). It was found that from the elastic deformation stage to the unstable development fracture stage, the proportion of shear fracture increased. When the dynamic normal load was 10 kN and 30 kN, the fracture was mainly shear fracture; When the dynamic normal load was 50 kN, the fracture was mainly tensile or mixed fracture. The dynamic normal load affects the shear strength and failure mechanism. Therefore, the influence of disturbance load on coal-rock mass strength cannot be ignored in underground engineering.
