<abstract>
<p>In order to study the damage evolution law of coal under the seepage-stress coupling, this paper adopted the rock servo triaxial test system to conduct permeability test for full stress-strain process on 10 sets of coal specimens using steady-state method under different confining pressure and osmotic pressure. The results show that coal permeability has a small fluctuation before the stress peak, and the permeability increases substantially after the peak. The relationship between the plastic damage variable of coal and the equivalent plastic strain is proposed. The research will provide a theoretical basis for hydraulic fracturing gas drainage reservoir.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>China has a large amount of coalbed methane resources, but the occurrence conditions are complicated, and the permeability of coal seam is generally low, especially in high gas and outburst mines where 95% of mined coal seams are belong to permeability coal seams (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">Fan et al., 2020a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Liu, 2020a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Liu et al., 2021a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">Lu, 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">Liu et al., 2022</xref>). Hydraulic fracturing is a common technical means to increase permeability in coalbed methane extraction. It not only realizes the efficient development of coalbed methane resources, but also provides safety guarantee for coal mine production (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Wang et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Fan et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Liu et al., 2021b</xref>). At present, low and even ultra-low permeability of soft coal seams lead to the problems such as low engineering success rate, high development cost, and low single well output, which restricts the large-scale development and utilization of coalbed methane (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">Fan et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">Fan et al., 2020b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">Kang et al., 2021</xref>).</p>
<p>In the oil and shale gas industry, regarding the development, extension and expansion of fractures in rocks, scholars have conducted a lot of experimental studies on how to increase permeability in hydraulic fracturing (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Liu, 2020b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">Liu, 2020c</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">Ma, 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">Xu et al., 2022</xref>), and studied influencing factors of hydraulic fracturing under various physical properties and structure characteristics (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">Liu, 2020d</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">Zhang, 2021</xref>). Detournay (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">Detournay, 2004</xref>) and Wu Pengfei (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">Wu et al., 2018</xref>) studied rock fracture propagation under hydraulic fracturing by means of analytical solution and numerical simulation respectively. In underground coal mines, many useful attempts have been made with hydraulic fracturing technology in order to prevent spontaneous combustion, and roof management (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">Huang et al., 2007</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">Jiang et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">Li et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">Sun et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Zheng, 2021</xref>).</p>
<p>In recent years, based on the seepage-damage theory, Chen Mingyi (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Chen, 2017</xref>) used triaxial permeability tests to study the law of moisture adsorption to coal, the mechanical characteristics, and the evolution law of permeability and damage. Wang Xiangyu, Zhou Hongwei, et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Wang et al., 2018</xref>) analyzed the energy change law and permeability characteristics during the deep coal damage process under triaxial cyclic loading. The results show that coal damage is an energy-consuming damage process (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">Li et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">Wang et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">YundongShou et al., 2020</xref>). Under different confining pressures, permeability and damage variables present a good exponential function relationship. These studies are mainly based on coal seam water inrush (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Rui et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">Gu et al., 2020</xref>). For coal seam gas development projects, the evolution of coal permeability and damage variables due to hydraulic fracturing and permeability improvement technology still needs further research. In particular, the correlation between the plasticity variable and the damage variable and the permeability value after the hydraulic fracturing coal body of the soft coal seam is damaged is studied, the important point is to find the damage evolution equation of plastic strain and form the relationship expression between soft coal damage and permeability.</p>
<p>In this paper, the seepage-stress coupling experiment is used to study the evolution law of coal deformation and permeability during the full stress-strain loading process. The damage evolution equation of coal with equivalent plastic strain under multi-field coupling is established, and the relationship expression between soft coal damage and permeability is proposed.</p>

<title>Experimental Results</title>
<p>The multi-field coupling seepage test system of coal and rock enhanced water injection is sensitive to temperature. In order to minimize the influence of temperature on the experimental results, the test chamber temperature was strictly controlled at 20 &#xb1; 0.5&#xb0;C. The specific method for the whole-process stress and strain seepage test of coal and rock is as follows: according to the experimental design, first apply a certain axial pressure P1, confining pressure P2 and pore pressure P3 (always maintain P2&#x3e;P3, otherwise the heat shrinkable plastic and other seals will fail and the experiment will fail), so that water seeps through the specimen. The hydraulic system of the penetration test is servo controlled. The whole experimental process is controlled by a computer, including data acquisition and processing. The specimen axial deformation and the change process of the osmotic pressure difference over time are measured while applying each level of axial pressure. Read the axial strain and permeability values &#x200b;&#x200b;under each level of axial pressure to plot the stress-strain and permeability-strain relationship curves.</p>

<p>The final failure simplified model are shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3</xref>. According to different damage types, it can be roughly divided into axial center type, 30&#xb0; shear type, 45&#xb0; shear type, irregular shear type, and symmetrical edge destructive type.</p>

<p>According to the experiment results, the initial defects and strength of raw coal have great discreteness and are relatively typical heterogeneous material, leading to different failures of various specimens, which is also the difficulty in quantitative study on the variation rules of parameters such as damage and permeability of coal and rock specimens.</p>

<sec id="s3-2">
<title>The Influence of Confining Pressure</title>
<p>The experiment adopts stable Darcy seepage flow to determine the permeability of the coal sample, that is, the permeability is calculated based on the measurement parameters such as the flow rate of the fluid passing through the coal sample in a unit time and the osmotic pressure difference between the two ends of the coal sample. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Figure 4</xref> show the axial stress-axial strain and axial strain-permeability curves of each specimen.</p>
<fig id="F4" position="float">

</caption>
<graphic xlink:href="feart-10-847392-g004.tif"/>
</fig>
<p>It can be seen from the experiment results that confining pressure has a great impact on the permeability and deformation of the coal and rock specimens under the seepage-stress coupling during the whole stress-strain process. Under confining pressure, coal and rock has higher strength. As the confining pressure increases, the modulus of elasticity of coal and rock also increases. For its reason, the pore crack (damage) in coal is reduced under confining pressure, the presence of confining pressure during compression inhibits lateral displacement, making it more difficult for the rock to break. The permeability of coal and rock fluctuates to a certain extent before the stress peak. After the stress reaches the peak, there will be a &#x201c;sudden jump&#x201d;, and the peak permeability always appears after the peak of strain, showing the characteristic of &#x201c;hysteresis&#x201d;. This phenomenon is related to the failure of the specimen. After the stress peak, the specimen is damaged, and the seepage has a &#x201c;sudden jump&#x201d; change.</p>

<title>The Influence of Osmotic Pressure</title>
<p>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Figure 5</xref> show the stress-strain-permeability curves of some specimens. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Figure 6</xref> shows the permeability curves under different pore pressures. It can be seen from the experimental results that under the same confining pressure and different osmotic pressures, the stress, strain and permeability of coal and rock display the following laws:</p>
<fig id="F5" position="float">
<label>FIGURE 5</label>
<caption>
<p>The stress-strain-permeability curve. <bold>(A)</bold>: Specimen 6. <bold>(B)</bold>: Specimen 7.</p>

<caption>
<p>Permeability curves under different pore pressures.</p>
</caption>
<graphic xlink:href="feart-10-847392-g006.tif"/>
</fig>
<p>With the increase of osmotic pressure, the initial permeability, minimum permeability and maximum permeability of coal increase. When the osmotic pressure increases, the multiple of permeability decrease becomes smaller in the compaction stage. The increase in osmotic pressure difference reduces the residual stress after the peak and weakens the coal and rock.</p>
<p>The strength of coal itself and the original damage have a great influence on the permeability. The lower the specimen strength, the easier it is to damage. The greater the original damage, the greater the permeability.</p>

<title>Experimental Results of Plastic Damage Evolution</title>
<p>Based on the results of this experiment, it can be considered that the damage in the elastic deformation stage of coal and rock mass is negligible. After entry into the plastic stage, due to the presence of defects such as heterogeneous properties and microscopic pores, the effective bearing area of &#x200b;&#x200b;coal and rock will gradually decrease with increase in plasticity. It can be considered that the damage of coal and rock mass starts from the plastic stage. To this end, the following hypotheses are made:<list list-type="simple">
<list-item>
<p>1) The effective bearing area of &#x200b;&#x200b;coal and rock does not change in the elastic stage, that is, no damage occurs, and the damage variable is 0;</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>2) The occurrence and evolution of damage are only related to plastic deformation, which can be described by equivalent plastic strain.</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
<p>Based on the above hypotheses, equations (1)&#x223c;(3) can be used to plot the relationship curve between the damage variable and the equivalent plastic strain of each specimen in this experiment. Among them, the basic definition form of the elastic modulus method is used as the method for calculating the damage degree value. The loading conditions of specimens 1-5 include fixed inlet and outlet water pressure and changed confining pressure. The relationship curve between the damage variable and the equivalent plastic strain is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">Figure 7</xref>.</p>
<fig id="F7" position="float">

<p>Due to the heterogeneous nature of coal and rock materials, it can be seen from <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">Figure 9</xref> that the coal-rock fluid-solid coupling experiment data is relatively discrete when the confining pressure is changed. This is different from the previous hypothesis that the damage occurrence and evolution is only related to plastic deformation.</p>

<p>Coal is a typical non-uniform porous medium material.

<p>When the stress reaches a certain strength, the microvoids and cracks inside the coal body will expand and converge, followed by initial damage. As the loading progresses further, the damage continues to increase and the permeability changes greatly. Considering the action of fluid-solid coupling and the effect of damage, if we only take into account the effect of volumetric strain when studying the seepage law, there will be relatively big errors.</p>
<p>In order to consider the damage impact on coal seepage, the concept of &#x201c;representative voxel (REV)&#x201d; is used for simplified analysis. Take a cube of sufficient size with any point in the coal body as the center, its cross-sectional area perpendicular to the seepage direction is <inline-formula id="inf15">

<p>As the load increases, damage begins to appear in the coal body. Due to the strong permeability of the damaged area, the permeability of the representative voxel increases; with the further damage development, the increase in permeability of the representative voxel accelerates; when the damage develops to a certain extent, there is smaller increase in damage area, and even changes such as misalignment will occur in the damage area, resulting in a slower increase or even a decrease in the permeability at the later stage of loading.</p>

This formula can basically reflect the law that the permeability of coal and rock materials changes with the change of volumetric strain rate before plastic damage, while after the plastic damage occurs and before the permeability reaches the peak, the permeability increases with the increase of plastic damage. The relationship curves between damage variables and permeability of some specimens in this experiment are shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F12">Figure 12</xref>.</p>

<title>Conclusion</title>
<p>This paper shows through experimental methods that there is a certain law in permeability evolution during coal and rock failure. The main factors affecting permeability change include the development of fractures, the fracture penetration and failure modes in the process of coal and rock damage evolution. Through the analysis and summary of the experimental data, the following conclusions are drawn:<list list-type="simple">
<list-item>
<p>1) Through experimental research, the general law of permeability change of coal and rock in the full stress-strain process is that, in the elastic stage, permeability decreases slightly with the increase of stress; in the closed stage of primary fractures, permeability changes little without primary fracture development; in the elasto-plastic stage, with the expansion and penetration of new cracks, the permeability of coal first slowly increases and then sharply increases, presenting a &#x201c;step&#x201d; phenomenon.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>2) The permeability of coal and rock is obviously related to the damage and failure state of the rock, which is an external manifestation of the damage and failure state of the coal and rock. The coal permeability evolution process corresponds to the damage and failure state of coal and rock, showing obvious stages, and there are obvious sudden increases in permeability and peak points in the evolution process.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>3) The damage and destruction of rock under seepage pressure is affected by confining pressure and seepage water pressure. The presence of confining pressure inhibits the damage and fracture of rock mass, and seepage water pressure greatly promotes the damage and fracture of rock mass.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>4) Through data analysis, the relationship between coal and rock failure, permeability, stress state and volumetric strain during deformation is discovered, and the evolution equation of the plastic damage variable is proposed. Through representative voxel and simplification, the relationship between coal and rock permeability considering damage impact is derived.</p>
