Experimental Investigation on the Deformation Characteristics and Mechanical Behaviors of Tectonic Coal under Complex Unloading Confining Pressure

Conventional and cyclic unloading tests with different unloading rates were conducted to study the influences of unloading patterns and rates on the deformation characteristics and mechanical properties of tectonic coal. The results demonstrate that, under continuous unloading, a lower unloading rat...
