The damage evolution model of rock salt was established with acoustic emission parameters based on damage theory and the damage variable D was modified by coefficient of correction. The research results show that the maximum values of ring count rate and energy rate appeared near the elastic limit and the phenomenon of high frequency and low amplitude appeared later; the damage value based on AE increased rapidly in the early stage of compressive deformation, and the damage value based on AE accumulated ring counts is smaller than that based on cumulative energy; the revised damage model curve is in agreement with the whole process of test curve and could reflect the damage evolution process of rock salt well.Simulation using ring count can reflect the damage evolution characteristics of rock salt better than using energy. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20150168
