description To study the mechanical and energy evolution characteristics of sandstone under true triaxial cyclic loading, a sandstone mechanical test with different intermediate principal stress under true triaxial loading was conducted using the rock true triaxial disturbance unloading test system. The influence of axial load on the deformation, energy evolution, and macroscopic failure characteristics of sandstone under different intermediate principal stress in a true triaxial test was systematically analyzed, and the damage evolution law of sandstone under true triaxial cyclic load was revealed. Results showed that the failure mode of sandstone under true triaxial compression changed from tension–shear composite failure to tension failure.
