description Coal-bearing rocks are inevitably exposed to high temperatures and impacts (rapid dynamic load action) during deep-earth resource extraction, necessitating the study of their mechanical properties under such conditions. This paper reports on dynamic compression tests conducted on coal-bearing mudstone specimens at real-time temperatures (the temperature of the rock remains constant throughout the impact process) ranging from 25 °C to 400 °C using a temperature Hopkinson (T-SHPB) test apparatus developed in-house. The objective is to analyze the relationship between mechanical properties and the fractal dimension of fractured fragments and to explore the mechanical response of coal-bearing mudstone specimens to the combined effects of temperature and impact using macroscopic fracture characteristics. The study found that the peak stress and dynamic elastic modulus initially increased and then decreased with increasing temperature, increasing in the 25–150 °C range and monotonically decreasing in the 150–400 °C range. Based on the distribution coefficients and fractal dimensions of the fractured fragments, it was found that the degree of damage of coal-bearing mudstone shows a trend of an initial decrease and then an increase with increasing temperature. In the temperature range of 25–150 °C, the expansion of clay minerals within the mudstone filled the voids between the skeletal particles, resulting in densification and decreased damage. In the temperature range of 150–400 °C, thermal stresses increased the internal fractures and reduced the overall strength of the mudstone, resulting in increased damage. Negative correlations between fractal dimensions, the modulus of elasticity, and peak stress could be used to predict rock properties in engineering.
