Abstract
To address time-dependent rock deformation in deep coalbed methane development
high-temperature and high-pressure triaxial creep experiments were performed to reveal the creep mechanical properties and energy evolution mechanisms of deep coal rocks. The results indicate that during the creep process of deep coal rocks
the volumetric deformation exhibits a transition from shrinkage to expansion
and the axial
circumferential
and volumetric strain increments all increase with rising temperature. Moreover
high temperature can lead to a decrease in elastic modulus and an increase in Poisson’s ratio
significantly weakening the coal rock structure. The underlying mechanism of coal-rock radial expansion and volumetric expansion is that the deviatoric stress elevation triggers the weakening of radial constraints and the propagation of internal cracks
while high temperature amplifies deformation and damage effects through a triple mechanism including degradation of rock strength
induction of thermal damage
and acceleration of creep accumulation. CT-based 3D fracture reconstruction reveals that the combined high-temperature and high-pressure treatments enhance the coal porosity by 89.73 %
while increasing the proportion of pores larger than 150 μm in diameter. The simultaneous increase in both fractal dimension and tortuosity reveals the formation mechanism of complex fracture networks. Energy evolution analysis shows that dissipated energy exhibits the highest correlation with creep failure
and its increment decreases first and then increases with the creep stages. Additionally
the higher the deviatoric stress and temperature
the faster the accumulation of dissipated energy
the greater the creep rate
and the more prone the coal sample is to instability. The SEM results demonstrate that higher temperatures result in larger crack openings.
