The invention belongs to the technical field of
geotechnical engineering, and specifically relates to a
variable stiffness elastic energy storage device and a method for testing rock
instability using the same. The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a
variable stiffness elastic energy storage device, including a pressure head, a guide rod, a base, a
washer and a disc spring. The guide rod is vertically installed in the center of the base, and the
washer and disc spring are respectively Set on the guide rod, the end of the guide rod is provided with a guide hole, the center of the pressure head is provided with a guide post, the guide post matches the guide hole, and the guide post is placed on the into the guide hole. The invention provides a
variable stiffness elastic energy storage device and a method for testing rock
instability using the same. The variable stiffness elastic
energy storage device has the advantages of small space occupation, large stiffness adjustment range, simple
processing and production, low maintenance and repair costs, and long service life. Features: It can be used in combination with a variety of
rock mechanics testing machines to test the
instability characteristics of rocks under different test conditions using the instability testing method.
