Numerical Simulation Study on Vibration Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Coal Containing Geological Structure

Abstract

Accurately determining the natural frequency of coal-containing geological structures is crucial for preventing mine dynamic disasters and utilizing vibration waves to break coal and enhance its permeability. Based on the modal theory of rock, vibration models of coal-containing geological structures, including layering and fractures are established. By analysis, the undamped vibration equation and its characteristic equation for both the layered coal system and the fractured coal system are derived. Subsequently, the Lanczos method is employed to solve the system’s vibration modes using ABAQUS. The effects of the layering position, layering thickness, layering physical properties, crack width, and crack length on the natural frequency and vibration response of coal-containing geological structures are investigated. The results indicate that when a single influencing factor is altered, the displacement response distribution of the coal body vibration system with geological structures remains essentially the same, and these single influencing factors have a minimal impact on the vibration displacement of the coal-containing geological structure. The natural frequency of the system decreases exponentially as the distance between the layering and the geometric center of the coal system with geological structures increases. The presence of layering in the coal system with geological structures significantly reduces the system’s natural frequency. The natural frequency of the coal system with geological structures increases in a power function manner as the layering elastic modulus increases. Conversely, the natural frequency decreases with an increase in crack length. When the change ranges of crack width and bedding thickness are the same, the natural frequency of the fractured coal body system exhibits more significant changes. The natural frequency of the coal system with geological structures initially decreases and then increases as bedding thickness and crack width increase. The trend in the natural frequency changes and the position of the extreme point are related to the ratio of the elastic modulus and density of the geological structure.
