description In order to investigate the loading rate effect of energy evolution in granite, the indoor physical simulation test of single face fast unloading-three directions and five faces stress-vertical continuous loading under different loading rates was conducted using a new true triaxial rockbursttest system. The energy accumulation-dissipation-release characteristics in the process of rock deformation and failure were revealed. Based on the three-dimensional discrete element theory and the polycrystalline modeling technique (randomly generated Voronoi mineral grains), the entire process of rockburst inoculation-occurrence-development, as well as the energy evolution characteristics under true triaxial single face unloading conditions, were studied. The test results indicate that the energy transport and conversion of rock samples under different loading rates exhibit distinct stage characteristics. It can be divided into the initial energy accumulation stage, steady energy accumulation stage, rapid energy dissipation stage, and rapid energy release stage. With a rise in loading rate, the specimen in the process of energy accumulation is accompanied by energy dissipation, more external input energy, and elastic strain energy release amount into the kinetic energy of fragments, resulting in the rockburst phenomenon. As the loading rate increases, the elastic strain energy conversion rate (Ue/U) falls, while the dissipative energy conversion rate (Ud/U) increases. The higher the elastic strain energy conversion rate and the lower the dissipative energy conversion rate, the more serious the rockburst occurs. Numerical simulation results show that the entire process of rockburst inoculation-occurrence-development is successfully simulated using the crystal scale fine model (CSFM) considering the grain mineral composition. The ejection failure process can be divided into four stages, including grains ejection, rock spalling into plates, rock shearing into fragments, and rock fragments ejection. The relationships between the peak strength, elastic strain energy of rock samples, and loading rates are obtained, which is consistent with the laboratory test results. The high rate linear growth of kinetic energy evolution between the two inflection points can provide precursor information for rockburst prediction.
