description In underground coal gasification (UCG) projects, deeply buried subterranean projects are significantly influenced by high temperatures, alongside disruptive loads such as excavation, blasting, and drilling. Therefore, it is essential to study the fatigue behaviors of rocks under the coupled effects of thermal elevation and cyclic loads. This study performed uniaxial compression and cyclic loading-unloading tests on red sandstone specimens with cavities. The high-temperature fatigue behaviors of specimens were explored from various aspects, encompassing stress, deformation, energy, damage, and the microstructural variations of the specimens after high-temperature procedures were assessed by utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At temperatures below 600 °C, SEM images indicate a contraction of microcracks in the specimens, whereas temperatures above this threshold lead to their expansion. Notably, the total, elastic, and dissipated energy density of the specimens exhibit a curve of second degree with the upper limit stress. Additionally, elastic and dissipated energy densities linearly correlate with input energy density. Furthermore, the coupled damage and axial strain of the specimens positively correlate with the temperature. The damage mode of thermal fatigue is attributed to the accumulation and penetration of transgranular fractures within the red sandstone.
