Negative Power Rock Strength Criterion Under Conventional Triaxial Compression, Li Bin, Wang Daguo Apr 2020

Negative Power Rock Strength Criterion Under Conventional Triaxial Compression, Li Bin, Wang Daguo

Coal Geology & Exploration

In order to evaluate accurately the rock strength under different confining pressures, a negative power rock strength criterion was proposed according to the upward convex nonlinear relationship between deviator stress and confining pressure during rock failure.
