Abstract

Understanding the response law and mechanism of weak currents stimulated from coal under an impact load is significant for the prediction of coal bumps in deep coal mines. In this paper, the system for the weak current measurement of coal under an impact load is established and the response characteristics of weak currents induced by the deformation of coal under an impact load are investigated. Physical models are established to describe the process of charge transfer and explain the generation mechanism of those currents. The results show that a transient current is stimulated from the coal sample when an impact load is applied, and then, the current decays slowly, tending to be a stable value that is slightly greater than the background current. The weak current flows from the loaded volume to the unloaded volume of the coal and increases with the impact velocity in a negative exponential form. Analysis of weak currents using non-extensive entropy shows that the attenuation of the weak current obeys non-extensive statistical mechanics and the non-extensive parameter q is greater than 2. The carriers are mainly electrons, of which the distribution obeys the tip effect that electrons tend to enrich towards the tip of a crack. The generation mechanism of those weak currents induced by coal deformation is the instantaneous movement of electrons under a density difference caused by the tip effect. Research results can provide a new perspective to understand the electric phenomena of coal under an impact load as well as a new method for coal bump prediction.
