The effect of temperature on mudstone composition and fracture mechanism were studied from a meso-structural perspective, and the relationship between meso-structure and macro-mechanical characteristics at high temperature was revealed. The findings demonstrated that the fluctuation in diffraction intensity of kaolinite in the mudstone caused the fluctuation in its mechanical properties. The overall structure underwent a phase change around 600 ℃, which led to the sudden change in the mechanical properties of mudstone samples. When the temperature reached 600 ℃, the crystalline state worsened and kaolinite disappeared; however, some illite was produced, indicating that the chemical reaction of the structure and sudden drop of bearing capacity of the mudstone. Mudstone fracturing at high temperature involves mainly intergranular and transgranular fractures, which are typical in micro-brittle tensile failure. Considering the macro-fracture characteristics of mudstone, the results suggested that macro-fracture under external force corresponds to the meso-fracture.展开更多
