| description | Dynamic failure of surrounding rock often causes many casualties and financial losses. Predicting the precursory characteristics of rock failure is of great significance in preventing and controlling the dynamic failure of surrounding rock. In this paper, a triaxial test of granite is carried out, and the acoustic emission events are monitored during the test. The fractal characteristics of acoustic emission events’ energy distribution and time sequence are analyzed. The correlation dimension and the <i>b</i> value are used to study the size distribution and sequential characteristics. Furthermore, a rock failure prediction method is proposed. The correlation dimension is chosen as the main index and the <i>b</i> value is chosen as a secondary index for the precursor of granite failure. The study shows that: (1) The failure process can be divided into an initial stage, active stage, quiet stage, and failure stage. (2) The <i>b</i> value and correlation dimension both can describe the process of rock failure. There is a continuous decline before failure. Because of the complexity of the field, it is difficult to accurately estimate the stability of surrounding rock using a single index. (3) The combination of the <i>b</i> value and correlation dimension to establish a new method, which can accurately represent the stability of the surrounding rock. When the correlation dimension is increasing, the surrounding rock is stable with stress adjusting. When the correlation dimension is decreasing and the <i>b</i> value remains unchanged after briefly rising, the surrounding rock is stable, and stress is finished adjusting. When the correlation dimension and <i>b</i> value are both decreasing, the surrounding rock will be destroyed. |
