Research on strain softening constitutive model of coal-rock combined body with damage threshold

摘要

The coal seam and the roof of the roadway bear loads together in the underground engineering of coal mine. Especially for the roadway driven along the roof, its deformation is completely different from that arranged in the complete rock stratum. Accurately knowing the mechanical mechanism of coal-rock combined body can help understand the deformation and failure modes of such roadways. This article started with tests of coal-rock combined samples with different height ratios, based on the test results, a strain softening damage constitutive model of coal-rock combined body and a method for solving the parameters of the model were proposed, and the influence of the model parameters was discussed. The test results show that the stress peak value and residual strength of the coal-rock combined samples are negatively correlated with the proportion of coal in the coal-rock combined samples, and have a positive correlation with the confining pressure. The damage constitutive model fitted the test curve well. The model can accurately describe the stress-strain curve of coal-rock combined samples, and can reflect the influence of different height ratios of coal and rock samples and confining pressures. The effects of model parameters were discussed based on the damage constitutive model, which are expected to be widely used in underground engineering.
