"Identical Acoustic Waveforms Found Between Different-Sized Outbursts: " by Yang Lei, Yuanping Cheng et al.
Every gigantic Coal and Gas Outburst begins as a tiny, localized coal failure. This point of failure leads to a rupture of the coal seam, resulting in a violent ejection of enormous amounts of gas and pulverized coal. Whether the size of an outburst is predictable and whether a large-scale outburst requires unique conditions different from smaller events are fundamental questions associated with the potential for disaster probabilistic forecasting. In this study, we conducted a series of outburst simulations using carbon dioxide (CO2) and He and recorded acoustic signals in the frequency band ...
