ANALYSIS ON THE TIME-FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF ULTRASONIC WAVEFORM OF COAL UNDER UNIAXIAL LOADING
Abstract
Ultrasonic receiving wave can reflect physical properties and damage degree of coal samples. Therefore, it is of great significance to deeply study the parameters of ultrasonic. In this paper, time-domain characteristics of receiving wave are analyzed systematically, which present good correlation with stress. The frequency spectrum of receiving wave is obtained using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and peak frequency and centroid frequency are calculated. During the entire loading process, peak frequency fluctuates around 110kHz, but corresponding centroid frequency decreases obviously at the end stage of loading. According to multifractal theory, the multifractal spectrum of wavelet packet energy characteristics is calculated. The results show that wavelet packet energy distribution has obvious multifractal characteristics, and multifractal parameter Δα presents downward trend before coal samples buckling failure. Based on damage process of the coal samples, the reason of change in Δα value is related to damage degree of coal samples. This research is of great significance for understanding the deformation and failure process of coal samples using ultrasonic technology.
