A test system was designed by using a set of self-made experimental devicesof coupled coal-gas in simulating mining stress effect, combining the equipment withRMT-150B rock mechanical experimental system, monitoring the rupture process ofcoal-rock with an acoustic emission (AE) device and collecting gas-flow rate andgas-stress data in real-time automatically with a gas flow-meter and gas pressure sensor.The fracture process and permeability properties test of the coal-rock in mining stress effect was carried out. Test results indicate that AE events and variation of stresses have thesame variance tendency and the rupture process of coal-rock can be monitored by AE.The relation curves among stresses, parameters of AE and permeability properties demonstrate that the permeability of coal-rock decreases gradually at quasi-elastic stage, increases gradually at plastic damage micro-fracture stage, rises suddenly near the peakpoint and has multi-variation at post-peak slip stage. From the results, such conclusioncan be drawn that the variation of permeability can be monitored by AE parameters orstress change.
