Water-rich environments trigger coal instability risks via dynamic energy evolution and microscopic damage mechanisms.
Water-rock interaction significantly influences the mechanical behavior and failure characteristics of coal masses; however, the underlying mechanisms governing the transition of failure modes from dry to saturated conditions remain insufficiently understood. In this study, uniaxial compression tests combined with part...
