Abstract: The uniaxial compression experiments were carried out on 25 granite samples by application of acoustic emission testing system in the laboratory. Through continuous real-time monitoring these characteristics of the acoustic emission sources such as event rate, cumulative energy, energy rate, time duration and amplitude in the failure process of granite rock samples, the stress thresholds at each loading stage were obtained in the whole failure process. Furthermore, by comparing the stress threshold at each stage with peak strength during the process of rock fracturing and with previous experimental results, we find that rock deformation characteristics are consistent with the evolution of the crack in rock.

Key words: acoustic emission, rock fracture, uniaxial compression, stress threshold
