Failure and energy evolution of CFRP-confined coal samples under cyclic loading and unloading by Honglin LIU, Xiaohan GONG, Hongchao ZHAO, Haishan HUANG, Guangfeng SHI, Jiajie TIAN

“…The area and reversal amplitude of the hysteresis loops formed by their stress-strain curves were positively correlated with the number of loading-unloading cycles, while the loop density was negatively correlated with the number of cycles. ③ Both the total accumulated energy and the elastic strain energy density of the coal specimens increased with rising axial stress, exhibiting an exponential functional relationship with axial stress in magnitude. ④ As the number of CFRP layers increased from 0 to 3, the dissipation energy density shifted from a U-shaped distribution to a J-shaped distribution, and the dissipation energy rate changed from an L-shaped distribution to a V-shaped distribution. …”
