摘要: 煤炭是我国的主体能源, 煤矿井下冲击地压、煤与瓦斯突出等灾害的频繁严重影响煤炭的安全生产. 煤体是典型的混合物, 其内部不同组分的力学性质差异较大, 使其在外部扰动的作用下容易产生内部应力集中, 导致煤体的失稳、破坏, 形成煤矿动力灾害. 本文以非均质煤体为研究对象, 利用微焦CT、扫描电子显微镜和纳−微米压入实验, 研究了煤体微纳尺度的非均质结构和力学性质, 实验研究结果表明: 煤体是有机物和多种矿物组成的混合物, 矿物以点填充、丝状填充和条带状侵入等结构存在于煤体有机物中, 不同的矿物填充或侵入区域中矿物含量和结构具有差异, 这导致煤体微纳尺度的物理力学性质具有非均质性; 纳米尺度压入实验可以捕捉矿物在有机物中的填充或侵入结构, 测量煤体混合物中矿物和有机物单组分的力学参数, 识别两者力学性质的巨大差异; 微米尺度的压入实验可以表征煤体混合物整体的力学性质, 矿物填充量越多, 煤体混合物的力学性质越强, 同时煤体混合物微观尺度的破裂模式会受到矿物填充结构的影响. 研究结果揭示了煤体微观结构和力学性质的非均质特征, 探讨了煤体混合物的非均质结构可能引起的脆性破坏, 为煤矿井下冲击地压和煤与瓦斯突出等动力灾害的预测与防治提供了理论基础.Abstract: Coal is the main energy resource in China. The occurrence of coal and gas outburst, and rock burst in coal mines seriously impact the safety of coal production. Coal is a typical composite. The significant difference in mechanical properties among the components of coal can easily induce internal stress concentration under external stress disturbance. This may result in the instability and failure of coal and forming dynamic disasters in coal mines. This research focused on heterogeneous coal and studied the heterogeneous microstructures and mechanical properties of coal at the nano and micro-scale using micro-CT, scanning electron microscope, and instrumented nano and micro-indentation experiments. The experimental results indicated that: coal is composed of organics and multiple types of minerals with different mechanical properties. Minerals exist in coal as granular filling, filiform filling, and banded intrusion. The mineral content and structure were different among these mineral filling or intrusion areas. It led to the physical and mechanical heterogeneities of coal at the nano and micro-scale; The indentation experiments at the nano-scale could capture the mineral structures at mineral filling or intrusion areas and measure the individual mechanical parameters of minerals or organics. Their significant difference in mechanical properties could be identified by nano-indentation; The indentation experiments at the micro-scale could characterize the mechanical properties of a whole coal composite. The more mineral filling was, the stronger mechanical properties of a coal composite were. Moreover, the failure mode of a coal composite at the micro-scale depended on its mineral structure. The experimental results revealed the heterogeneous characteristics of the microstructures and mechanical properties of coal. The brittle failure induced by the special filiform structure of coal at the micro-scale was discussed. This study provides the fundamental understanding for the prediction and prevention of rock burst, coal and gas outburst during coal mining.
