Study on the Porosity of Saturated Fragmentized Coals during Creep Process and Constitutive Relation

الملخص EN

Pore abundance and deformation characteristics of saturated fragmentized coals during creep process are of significant meaning to the study on ground sediment in the mined-out area.

The law of porosity variation of saturated fragmentized coals during creep process and its creep constitutive model were studied by using the self-developed multiphase coupling creep test device.

And, results have indicated that the porosity logarithm of fragmentized coal during creep process shows a linear negative correlation with the time ln(n−a) = −ct + lnb, and the porosity decrease is evidently divided into three phases.

In addition, when the stress level is relatively low, the porosity decreases slowly; when the stress level rises up, the porosity decreases quickly; when the stress level remains stable finally, the porosity is smaller.

Under the equal stress, as the grain size of fragmentized coals decreases, the porosity tends to decrease, and as the grain size of fragmentized coal tends to be stable, the porosity tends to increase; the creep constitutive equation of fragmentized coals with different grain sizes was established by using the Kelvin–Voigt model, and the correlation analysis shows that the Kelvin–Voigt creep model of fragmentized coals is reasonable.
