The invention discloses a novel method for mechanical 
rock breaking based on 
tensile shear stress. A hydraulic power mechanism comprises a movable power vehicle (9) and a hydraulic 
oil tank (11), wherein the hydraulic 
oil tank (11) is assembled on the power vehicle (9), and a driving motor (10), a pressure gauge (12) and a controller (13) for controlling the hydraulic 
oil tank (11) to supply oil are arranged on the hydraulic oil tank (11); a drawing 
rock breaking mechanism comprises a hydraulic jack (1), a jacking vertical rod (2), a base plate (4), a cross beam (5), a drawing rod (6) and an anchoring rod (8); and one end of an oil feeding pipeline (14) and one end of an oil return pipeline (15) are respectively connected with an oil inlet and an oil return opening of the hydraulic jack (1), and the other end of the oil feeding pipeline (14) and the other end of the oil return pipeline (15) are respectively connected with an oil outlet valve and an oil return valve of the hydraulic oil tank (11). According to the novel method, the characteristics that rock masses are resistant to pressure and are not resistant to 
tensile shear are fully utilized, static environment-friendly mechanical 
rock breaking with only drilling but not blasting is realized, the rock masses are prevented from being excessively smashed, the high boulder rate is avoided, the requirement for rock lumpiness of an 
engineering project is met, the mechanical shoveling and transporting efficiency is improved, the shoveling operation cost is reduced, and the method can be widely applied to the fields of mines, tunnels, traffic roads, side slopes, foundation pit excavation and the like.
