The application of infrared thermal imaging camera in rock burst research is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Infrared thermal imaging camera can monitor temperature changes on the surface of rocks in real-time, helping researchers to capture the phenomenon of temperature rise before rock fractures. This is of great significance for predicting the timing and location of rock bursts.
By obtaining thermal images through infrared thermal imager camera, the thermal distribution of the rock’s interior and surface can be analyzed, thereby understanding the thermal conduction characteristics of the rock under stress. This helps in studying the propagation and accumulation of heat during rock bursts.
Infrared thermal imager camera can detect tiny cracks on the surface and inside the rock. Through thermal images, it can identify stress concentration areas inside the rock and potential fracture points, providing a basis for rock burst risk assessment.
Different types of rocks have different characteristics in terms of thermal conduction and thermal radiation. Infrared thermal imaging camera can help researchers understand these properties and further study the behavioral characteristics of rocks under different stress conditions.
In the laboratory, researchers can use infrared thermal imager camera to monitor the temperature changes during simulated rock burst experiments, thus verifying the accuracy of theoretical models and numerical simulations, and optimizing rock burst prediction and prevention measures.
The application of infrared thermal imaging camera in rock burst research helps improve the understanding of rock fracture behavior, provides scientific basis for rock burst prediction and prevention, and thereby ensures the safety of underground projects such as mines and tunnels.
