  • Publication number: 20230123452
    Abstract: A method and system for determining acoustic emission (AE) parameters of rock based on moment tensor analysis. The method includes: constructing, according to macroscopic mechanical parameters, a numerical model of a rock specimen to be tested; loading the numerical model through particle flow code software to simulate a failure process of the rock specimen to be tested, and identifying fracturing time and positions of microcracks when the PFC software loads the numerical model; determining, when the PFC software loads the numerical model, if rock grains of two sequentially generated microcracks include common rock grains, and an interval for generating the two microcracks is less than duration time of a present AE event, the two microcracks as a same AE event; taking geometric centers of all microcracks within a spatial range of an AE event as source positions of the corresponding AE event; and determining AE parameters of the AE event.

  • Patent number: 11314910
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a discrete element method (DEM)-based simulation method and system for acoustic emission (AE). The simulation method includes: arranging a monitoring point on a surface of a numerical model; monitoring a velocity waveform of the monitoring point; and analyzing the velocity waveform to obtain a hit, energy, and a b-value of AE. The method in the present disclosure can resolve problems of principle incompliance, poor authenticity, and high occupation of calculation resources in a traditional simulation method for AE.
