Acoustic emission of limestone in uniaxial compression test
Abstract
In order to study the acoustic emission of rock when subjected to compressive loads, some uniaxial compression tests on a kind of limestone of Guangxi Province were carried out by means of the Rock Acoustic Parameter Dynamic Testing System (RAPDTS). It was concluded that the formations of new micro clefts generated in the rock and the enlargements of existing clefts are the principal factors that cause the acoustic emission.
