An Original Coupled Damage–Permeability Model Based on the Elastoplastic Mechanics in Coal
Abstract Coal and gas outburst have always been one of the principal gas energy disasters in coal mines. Pre-extraction of coal-bed methane (CBM) is an effective method to reduce the outburst risk. However, during coal mining and drilling for CBM extraction, coal will inevitably undergo plastic deformation or even failure. This will result in a change in gas’s migration behavior, bringing severe challenges to coal mine gas disaster prevention and effective CBM extraction. Therefore, it was considered necessary to study the evolutionary law of permeability characteristics, and the mechanical property response of coal under engineering disturbance. Based on generalized plastic theory, the plastic strain in coal is calculated by using the non-associated flow rule. The damage variable was modified with reference to the stress–strain constitutive relationship, that was introduced into a simplified permeability model to successfully construct an original coupled damage–permeability model based on the elastoplastic mechanics in coal (D–P coupling model). The proposed model has been verified by carrying out a tri-axial compression-seepage experiment (mining simulations) under different confining pressures and a tri-axial seepage experiment (extraction simulations) under different effective stresses and under different pore pressures. The results showed that during the whole stress–strain process, the new model could well reflect the seepage behavior of CBM on whether coal permeability decreased before the yield point or increased sharply after peak failure. Coal permeability decreased with an increase of effective stress and pore pressure, and the new model corresponded well with the experimental results. Finally, the relationships between plastic strain, damage variables and mechanical properties in coal were discussed. The proposed model has provided a theoretical basis for coal mine gas disaster prevention and CBM extraction.
Highlights Tri-axial compression-seepage experiments under different confining pressures (mining simulations) were conducted.Based on the generalized plastic theory, the plastic deformation of coal was quantified.The mathematical model from elastoplastic deformation to damage and seepage of coal was established.The relationships between plastic strain, the damage variable, and mechanical properties of coal were analyzed.
