Influence of initial stress state and stress path on the instability of combination formed by intact coal and tectonic coal containing gas
In this paper,the combination formed by intact coal and tectonic coal was regarded as research object.Considering the initial stress state,the principal stress changes of combina-tion under three strain conditions were analyzed,and the expressions of interface uncoordinated deformation and additional stress were obtained.Combined with the Mohr-Cou-lomb strength criterion,the strength characteristics and failure forms of combination were e-valuated.According to the parameters of coal,the influence of three different stress paths on the instability process of combination was discussed.The affect of initial stress state and stress change on additional stress was analyzed,and corresponding suggestions that prevent the in-stability of combination were made.The results show that due to the difference of strain in two coals and existence of interfacial cohesion,the interface uncoordinated deformation and addi-tional stress appear.The additional stress changes the minimum principal stress of the interface coal,which makes the strength relationship of the combination complex and instability forms up to 7 kinds under different strain conditions.Under the stress path of horizontal stress de-creases and vertical stress increases,the combination is most likely to be damaged.Under this stress path,while the combination is damaged,the stress concentration coefficient is 1.58 the unloaded horizontal stress is 2.06 MPa,which is significantly lower than the two stress paths of horizontal stress constant vertical stress increases and horizontal stress decreases and vertical stress constant.The difference of additional stress caused by vertical stress and horizontal stress leads to the change of instability form of combination under different stress paths,from the first failure of interface intact coal to the first failure of tectonic coal away from the inter-face.Both the initial stress state and the stress path affect the strength of the interface coal body by affecting the uncoordinated deformation and the additional stress,thus affecting the instability process of the combination.
