Abstract This paper proposes an experimental system to monitor the phenomenon of electromagnetic radiation during the granite failure. By conducting the self-expanding experiment of granite,the electromagnetic response on basis of cracking procedure is studied. The experimental results show that:in rock main rupture instantly,the largest electromagnetic radiation occurs with value of about 0.2 mV. The propagation,coalescence of microcracks lead rock to catastrophe failure accompanied by a strong electromagnetic signal. Electromagnetic radiation has directionality during rock fracture process;the frequency of the electromagnetic signal is low;and there is a characteristic frequency for releasing radiate energy in rupture process.
