Different stress states have an impact on the dynamic mechanical properties should be considered of deep coal and rock. By methodically investigating the dynamic mechanical characteristics and constitutive connections between coal and rock at various strain rates, confining pressures, and axial static prestresses, it is possible to mitigate the risk of dynamic disasters such as rock bursts and roadway collapses. The preceding experiments provide data on the dynamic peak strength and secant modulus of coal samples under various conditions. The results of these tests are presented in Table 1.

The data in this test was processed using the three-wave approach with the SHPB data processing program. The test data's validity relies on two fundamental hypotheses: the hypothesis of pressure in a single dimension waves and the premise of Place an emphasis on homogeneity. The stress wave that is just one-dimensional theory is mostly utilized to mitigate the dispersion impact of stress waves during propagation. This is achieved by incorporating a pulse shaper and modifying the width of the incident bar [27–28]. To validate the quality of the test data, the stress uniformity hypothesis was examined using Eq. (1). This equation states that the combined value of strain that is reflected and strain that is incident should be equal to the transmitted strain [29]. The data from coal sample A-1 are utilized for the purpose of verification, and the outcomes of the verification are depicted in Fig. 3.
Where εi(t), εr(t), and εt(t) are the incident strain, reflected strain, and transmitted strain at a certain time, respectively.
3.1 Strength characteristics
The strength quality of coal is mainly affected by strain rate, confining pressure and axial static prestress [30–31]. [30–31]. According to the findings of experiments, The stress-strain curves of coal rock subjected to many different factors are shown in Fig. 4.
Figure 4 illustrates the stress-strain curves of coal rock when subjected to both three-dimensional dynamic and static loads. These curves exhibit a consistent pattern, which may be categorized into three distinct phases: the phase of elastic motion, the period of plastic motion, and the post-peak damage period. During the elastic stage, the stress exhibits a linear relationship with the strain, meaning that as the strain grows, the stress also increases proportionally. During the plastic phase, the tension gradually rises as the strain increases, leading to permanent plastic deformation of the coal sample. With the increasing stress, at the end of the plastic movement stage,, the tension reaches its maximum level. During the post-peak damage stage, the stress does not completely decline to zero as the strain increases. However, there is still some bearing capacity, which suggests that The strength that is still present should be taken into consideration. While studying the dynamic constitutive connection of coal rock. The stress-strain curves exhibit variations when both confining pressure and axial static prestress are applied, as compared to typical impact circumstances observed in the C-1 coal sample. During typical circumstances of impact, the stress-strain curves were observed.exhibit a phase of compaction, meaning that the curves are concave upwards. The phenomenon occurs due to the compaction of coal samples when they are subjected to impact loading, which is caused by the presence of confining pressure and axial static prestress. Consequently, the coal sample undergoes no compaction phase when subjected to three-dimensional combined dynamic-static pressure, and instead instantly transitions into the stage of elastic deformation.
By analyzing the information presented in Table 2, we can derive the graphs illustrating the link between the dynamic peak and the stress and axial static prestress, as seen in Fig. 5, the strain rate and the confining pressure are both represented. Figure 5 (a) demonstrates that as the axial static prestress increases from 4 to 8 MPa (equivalent to 22%σc to 44%σc), the fractures in the coal are consistently compressed, resulting in an improvement in dynamic compressive strength. Hence, the use of axial static prestress enhances the dynamic peak strength. Furthermore, when the axial static prestress is within the range of 8 to 12MPa (equivalent to 44%σc to 66%σc), the dynamic peak compressive strength falls as the axial static prestress increases. Additionally, the axial static prestress facilitates increases the dynamic peak compressive strength while simultaneously causing crack expansion. Hence, the coal samples exhibit a critical axial static prestress of 8MPa, which corresponds to 44% of the compressive strength (σc). Figure 5 (b) demonstrates a direct correlation between the strain rate and the dynamic peak stress of the coal rock, indicating that the strain rate is increased, the stress rises in a linear fashion. This phenomenon is a result of the coal samples being loaded quickly, leading to numerous fissures in the coal that do not have enough time to grow when the rock breakup occurs. By observing Fig. 5(c), it is evident that the dynamic peak stress of coal and rock exhibits a linear increase as the confining pressure increases. The presence of restricting pressure during impact loading limits the expansion of internal fissures in the coal rock. Thus, when subjected to both dynamic and static loading in three dimensions, the dynamic peak stress of coal and rock rises proportionally to the increase in confining pressure. Based on the study conducted, it is evident that the dynamic compressive strength of coal is significantly influenced by axial static prestress, strain rate, and confining pressure.
3.2 Deformation characteristics
The deformation properties of rocks are typically described using parameters such as elastic modulus and secant modulus [32]. However, the subjective nature of the elastic modulus value is a limitation. Figure 6 illustrates the variation of the secant modulus under various stress conditions.
As depicted in Fig. 6(a), the correlation coefficient is merely 0.507 when using a quadratic function of one variable to fit the relationship between the secant modulus and the axial static pre-stress. However, it is evident that the secant modulus generally exhibits When the axial static pre-stress was altered, there was an initial rise, which was then followed by a drop. Figures 6 (b) and 6 (c) illustrate a linear relationship between the secant modulus and both the rise in confining pressure and strain rate. Additionally, the fitting coefficient shows a relatively high value. Through the analysis of the correlation between the dynamic secant modulus of coal and rock under various stress conditions, it can be inferred that coal's dynamic compressive strength is a measure of its and rock under combined three-dimensional dynamic and static loading is significantly influenced by axial static pre-stress, strain rate, and confining pressure.
3.3 Energy dissipation and failure mode analysis
The Structural changes and destruction of coal rock is a process of energy transfer.. The macroscopic deformation of coal and rock occurs due to the buildup of internal microfracture destruction [33–34]. Hence, it is significant to examine the distortion and harm caused to coal and rock when subjected to three-dimensional dynamic and static forces, taking into account the energy aspect. Given the absence of heat transfer between coal and the surrounding environment during the experiment, the incident energy (Wi), reflected energy (Wr), transmitted energy (Wt), and absorbed energy (Wd) of coal and rock specimens under three-dimensional dynamic and static combined loading can be determined using Eq. (2) [35].
$$\left\{ \begin{gathered} \mathop W\nolimits_{i} =\frac{A}{{{C_0}{\rho _s}}}\int_{0}^{t} {\sigma _{i}^{2}\left( t \right)} dt=\frac{{A{E^2}}}{{{C_0}{\rho _s}}}\int_{0}^{t} {\mathop \varepsilon \nolimits_{i}^{2} \left( t \right)dt} \hfill \\ \mathop W\nolimits_{r} =\frac{A}{{{C_0}{\rho _s}}}\int_{0}^{t} {\sigma _{r}^{2}\left( t \right)} dt=\frac{{A{E^2}}}{{{C_0}{\rho _s}}}\int_{0}^{t} {\mathop \varepsilon \nolimits_{r}^{2} \left( t \right)dt} \hfill \\ \mathop W\nolimits_{t} =\frac{A}{{{C_0}{\rho _s}}}\int_{0}^{t} {\sigma _{t}^{2}\left( t \right)} dt=\frac{{A{E^2}}}{{{C_0}{\rho _s}}}\int_{0}^{t} {\mathop \varepsilon \nolimits_{t}^{2} \left( t \right)dt} \hfill \\ \mathop W\nolimits_{d} =\mathop W\nolimits_{i} - \left( {\mathop W\nolimits_{r} +\mathop W\nolimits_{t} } \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$

This study focuses solely on examining the correlation between various axial static pre-stress levels and coal and rock crushing energy consumption. It specifically explores this relationship under the dynamic and static loading characteristics that are coupled in three dimensions. Previous studies have already investigated the connection between coal rock crushing energy consumption and strain rate and confining pressure. By inputting the initial test data into Eq. (2), For different axial static pre-stress circumstances, we may determine the incident, reflected, transmitted, and absorbed energies of coal rock.These results are presented in Table 2.

Controlling the impact velocity of several coal samples to be precisely equal is challenging during the SHPB experiment. Table 3 clearly demonstrates a considerable disparity in the incident energy between the A-2 coal sample and the other 4 coal samples. This indicates a substantial difference in the impact velocity of the A-2 coal sample compared to the other 4 coal samples. Hence, the experimental data from the A-2 coal sample is disregarded when analyzing the correlation between absorbed energy of coal and rock and axial static pre-stress. By analyzing the data shown in Table 3, it is possible to determine the correlation between the absorbed energy of the coal sample and the axial static pre-stress when subjected to both loading in three dimensions is both dynamic and static. This relationship is seen in Fig. 7.
Figure 7 clearly demonstrates that the absorbed energy initially increases and subsequently drops as the axial static pre-stress of coal samples is subjected to combined three-dimensional dynamic and static loads. The fitting curve follows a quadratic function with one variable. At an axial static pre-stress of 4MPa (equivalent to 22% of the compressive strength), the expansion of cracks will be impeded because to the relatively low magnitude of the axial static pre-stress. The fissures in the coal and rock are compressed, and a portion of the energy from the axial impact load is utilized to counteract the axial static prestress. Consequently, the energy received by the coal sample during this phase is comparatively minimal. The energy absorbed by the coal sample reaches its greatest value when the axial static pre-stress is 8MPa (44% of the compressive strength) and 10MPa (55% of the compressive strength), and the axial static pre-stress approaches the critical value. Moreover, if the axial static pre-stress of the coal sample surpasses the critical threshold, the existence of such pre-stress will facilitate the propagation of cracks during this phase. As the axial static pre-stress increases, the coal sample absorbs less energy from the impact load over time.
So that we may look into the correlation between failure modes of coal and rock and various levels of axial static pre-stress, both three-dimensional dynamic and static loading were used. Figure 8 illustrates the distinct failure modes of coal and rock at varying levels of axial static pre-stress. From Fig. 8, it is evident that when the axial static pre-stress increases, the failure degree of the coal sample initially rises and then declines, whereas the crushed particle size initially reduces and then grows. When the axial static pre-stress is 4MPa (equivalent to 22% of the compressive strength), the primary failure mode observed in the coal sample is shear failure. Due to the low axial pressure of the coal sample, the stored strain energy is also minimal, resulting in a limited degree of fracture. When the axial static pre-stress is 8MPa (44% of the compressive strength) and 10MPa (55% of the compressive strength), the primary failure mode of the coal sample is a combination of shear and tensile failure. Here, the coal sample experiences a significant axial pressure, leading to a higher amount of strain energy being stored in the sample. When the coal sample is exposed to an impact load, the degree of damage is likewise greater. Furthermore, when the axial static pre-stress reaches 12MPa (equivalent to 66% of the compressive strength), the primary form of failure observed in the coal sample is a combination of shear and tensile failure. While the axial static pre-stress is currently the highest, the coal sample absorbs a relatively little amount of energy from the impact load. As a result, the damage to the coal sample diminishes and the level of fragmentation increases.
