Experimental investigation on rock mechanical and acoustic properties during the uniaxial and conventional triaxial compression has been conducted. The typical Carboniferous rock samples collected from the Upper Silesian Coal Basin were tested. The rock samples of diameter 30 mm and height 60 mm were compressed in a stiff testing machine. In triaxial compression a 70 MPa pressure chamber was used. The parameters of experiments were the rate of longitudinal strain rate of samples (10/-4 and 10/-2 s/-1) and the confining pressure (0, 10, 20, 30, 50 MPa). The acoustic emission was registered by a Bruel and Kjaer device. The piezoelectric transducers were used for converting vibrations caused by fracture process during the uniaxial compression and triaxial compression. The output voltage of these transducers was proportional to the acceleration of vibrations. The results of measurements are shown in diagram of rock compression in a stiff testing machine and on a diagram of acoustic emission registration during the complete process of compression and failure. The results obtained from the investigation of fine-grained sandstone and coal are presented in this work. For each experiment the cumulated value of impulses and the energy expressed by a sum of squared amplitudes were determined. Those values were related to the strain of a sample at the assumption that 100% of strain corresponds to the value of critical load (pressure). It was shown that the parameters of acoustic emission (the number and amplitude of registered impulses) and their distribution in relation to the stress-strain characteristic depend on the parameters of experiment (strain rate and confining pressure) as well as on the type of the rock. The frequency analysis was conducted for the chosen impulses of the cumulated activity diagram, referred to the stress-strain characteristic. The values of the obtained magnitudes: amplitude of spectrum, dominant frequency and time of impulse duration are presented for sandstone and coal samples correspondingly in tables. The analysis of the obtained results has shown that the increase in strain rate and in confining pressure influence the increase of acoustic parameter in sandstone and on the contrary, the decrease of this parameter in coal. It was observed that the influence of strain rate on the investigated acoustic magnitudes is greater then that of the confining pressure.
