Abstract

Due to the difficulty in predicting the occurrence of rockburst in deep mining areas,this paper proposes that the use of Peridynamics to analyze the mechanical characteristics of coal-rock composite structures under loading conditions from the perspective of energy, Determine the impact tendency of coal rock composite structures by combining rock elastic deformation energy index (WET) and rock impact energy index (WCF); Use Lammps software to simulate the loading of composite structural materials and compare and verify with experimental results, to more accurately determine the tendency of rockburst occurrence in different coal-rock composite structures.The results indicate that after the specimen reaches the yield stress, the sample exhibits an "X" shaped failure. The coal body has a significant impact on the overall model's fragmentation, and different combination states and ratios can affect the degree of damage in the coal-rock composite structure. which has important theoretical value for rock mechanics research. The research results can reduce the occurrence of rockburst accidents, the difficulty of mine support, and the cost of mining engineering, as well as improve mine safety levels.
