Three typical hot mix asphalt（HMA） mixtures with varying nominal maximum aggregate sizes were tested at four stress levels. During the tests, a digital camera was mounted to capture the displacement/strain fields on the surface of the specimen by recording the real-time change of speckle position. The results indicate that the vertical deformation curve can barely evaluate the fatigue performance accurately due to the non-negligible local deflection near the loading point. However, based on the analysis of strain fields,the optimal fatigue cracking zone is determined as a 40mm×40mm rectangle in the middle of the specimens. Also, a reasonable fatigue model based on the tensile strain curves calculated by DIC is proposed to predict the fatigue lives of asphalt mixtures.展开更多

文摘In this paper,we introduce an accelerating algorithm based on the Taylor series for reconstructing target images in the spectral digital image correlation method(SDIC).The Taylor series image reconstruction method is employed instead of the previous direct Fourier transform(DFT)image reconstruction method,which consumes the majority of the computational time for target image reconstruction.The partial derivatives in the Taylor series are computed using the fast Fourier transform(FFT)of the entire image,following the principles of Fourier transform theory.To examine the impact of different orders of Taylor series expansion on accuracy and efficiency,we employ third-and fourth-order Taylor series image reconstruction methods and compare them with the DFT image reconstruction method through simulated experiments.As a result of these enhancements,the computational efficiency using the third-and fourth-order Taylor series improves by factors of 57 and 46,respectively,compared to the previous method.In terms of analysis accuracy,within a strain range of 0–0.1 and without the addition of image noise,the accuracy of the proposed method increases with higher expansion orders,surpassing that of the DFT image reconstruction method when the fourth order is utilized.However,when different levels of Gaussian noise are applied to simulated images individually,the accuracy of the third-or fourth-order Taylor series expansion method is superior to that of the DFT reconstruction method.Finally,we present the analyzed experimental results of a silicone rubber plate specimen with bilateral cracks under uniaxial tension.

文摘The NIR micro-images of ibuprofen tablets were collected in this research.Compare correlation imaging and principal component analysis（PC A） with histogram were applied to acquire the spatial distribution of ibuprofen granule.The result indicated that a similar distribution trend can be acquired by both of the two methods mentioned above;the information of PC2 results from ibuprofen mainly since the correlation coefficient between PC2 loading vector and the NIR spectrum of ibuprofen is 0.9930.The result of PCA indicated that the information of PC2 results from ibuprofen mainly for both the low and the high content of ibuprofen in the tablets.The correlation coefficient between the data of the two PC2 loading vectors of the low and the high content of ibuprofen in the tablets is 0.9998,which indicates that the result of PCA is stable and reliable.

文摘The progressive failure characteristics of geomaterial are a remarkable and challenging topic in geotechnical engineering.To study the effect of salt content and temperature on the progressive failure characteristics of frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil,a series of uniaxial compression tests were performed by integrating digital image correlation(DIC)technology into the testing apparatus.The evolution law of the uniaxial compression strength(UCS),the failure strain,and the formation of the shear band of the frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil were analyzed.The test results show that within the scope of this study,with the increase of salt content,both the UCS and the shear band angle initially decrease with increasing salt content before showing an increase.In contrast,the failure strain and the width of the shear band exhibit an initial increase followed by a decrease in the samples.In addition,to investigate the brittle failure characteristics of frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil,two classic brittleness evaluation methods were employed to quantitatively assess the brittleness level for the soil samples.The findings suggest that the failure characteristics under all test conditions in this study belong to the transition stage between brittle and ductile,indicating that frozen sodium sulfate saline sandy soil exhibits certain brittle behavior under uniaxial compression conditions,and the brittleness index basically decreases and then increases with the rise in salt content.

文摘The microstructure and fabric of rocks largely control their mechanical behavior,and their spatial variations can lead to anisotropic behavior.Metamorphic rocks such as gneiss exhibit anisotropy,and characterizing this anisotropy is crucial in geoscientific and engineering applications including geothermal plays,active fault zones,and mining sites.We investigate a foliated gneiss from the French River area of the Canadian Shield to determine its mechanical properties and assess the impact of anisotropy across different scales.We combined micro-scale experiments(e.g.nanoindentation and optical and electron microscopy),with meso-scale experiments(e.g.unconfined compressive strength(UCS)and indirect tensile test),to attempt bridging the micro-to meso-scale elastic property gap.Our results show that micro-and meso-mechanical properties of gneiss are orientation-dependent across scales.Young's modulus,upscaled from nanoindentation testing,varied between 51 GPa and 74 GPa,while meso-scale Young's modulus from UCS tests varied between 45 GPa and 54 GPa.The ultrasonic velocities(P-and S-wave)exhibited anisotropy of 26%and 24%,respectively,while the estimated UCS anisotropy was 30%,with the highest values observed in the direction parallel to the foliation.The direction of the mineral alignment forming the foliation plane plays a crucial role in determining the failure pattern of the rock.We observed predominantly tensile failure in samples with 0°–15°foliation plane angle,shear-slip failure for samples with 20°–65°,and a conjugate shear failure in the sample at 90°foliation plane angle to the loading direction.These findings provide insight into the anisotropic(orientation-dependent)characterization of foliated metamorphic rocks,which can be useful in rock engineering applications and numerical simulations.

文摘Investigation techniques,such as uniaxial compression tests,acoustic emission,digital image correlation monitoring,and scanning electron microscopy,were used from macroscopic and microscopic perspectives to investigate the effects of gangue particle-size gradation on the damage characteristics of cemented backfill.The peak strength,acoustic emission characteristics,and failure modes of cemented backfills with different gangue size gradations were examined.Test results indicated that with an increase in the gradation coefficient,the compressive strength of the gangue-cemented backfill first increased and then decreased.When the gradation coefficient is 0.5,the maximum compressive strength of the backfill is 4.28 MPa.The acoustic emission counts during the loading of gangue-cemented fills with different gradation coefficients passed through three phases:rising,active,and significantly active.The number of internal pores and cracks,as well as the uneven distribution of their locations,cause differences in acoustic emission characteristics at the same stage and variations in the strength of the backfill due to the different gangue particle-size gradations in the filler sample.

文摘The fracture behaviours and notch effects of single-edge-notched(SEN)and double-edge-notched(DEN)2D carbon fibre reinforced carbon matrix composites(C/Cs)were discussed and compared.The fracture behaviours of DEN and SEN were performed by tensile and bending load-displacement relationships,and the effects of notch depth on notch sensitivity were determined by DEN specimens.The results from mechanical tests indicated that the SEN exhibited a brittle behaviour with linear elasticity,while the DEN exhibited a ductile behaviour with nonlinearity.It was also found that increasing notch depth and decreasing ligament width can lead to a higher ultimate tensile strength of DEN.On the other hand,the digital image correlation(DIC)method and acoustic emission(AE)system were also applied during the mechanical tests to study the local mechanical characteristics of shear damage,strain concentration and fracture behaviour of 2D C/Cs.The results revealed the mechanisms of notch insensitivity and explained the differences in fracture behaviours between SEN and DEN.

文摘To investigate the effects of the spraying process and different fibers on the mechanical properties and failure patterns of ultrahigh performance concrete(UHPC),three types of fibers were used.These fibers were formed using both spraying and molding methods.Uniaxial compression tests were conducted,and two nondestructive monitoring techniques,acoustic emission(AE)and digital image correlation,were employed to monitor the uniaxial compression tests.The results indicated that the compressive strength of UHPC with single steel fibers and hybrid fibers increased by about 19%and 14%compared with those of UHPC with polyoxymethylene fibers.In comparison with molded UHPC,sprayed UHPC showed a slight improvement in compressive strength.Specimens containing steel fibers exhibited better post-cracking ductility,whereas those with only polyoxymethylene fibers displayed a certain degree of brittle failure.In sprayed UHPC,the onset of significant internal damage was delayed,which was related to the redistribution of internal fibers.The failure of UHPC was characterized by primary tensile cracks,supplemented by shear cracks.The spraying process can better restrict the development of tensile cracks in UHPC.Sprayed UHPC typically exhibited multiple crack developments leading to failure,whereas molded UHPC generally failed in the form of a single main crack penetrating the specimen.The addition of steel fibers delayed the occurrence of local stress concentration zones,aligning well with AE monitoring data.

文摘The destabilization of overhanging rock is a dangerous geological problem.In this study,a generalized model of typical overhanging cliffs from the Three Gorges Reservoir area in China with different fracture angles,fracture lengths,and free surface depths is constructed to investigate the cracking and deformation behavior of overhanging rocks.Laboratory tests and deformation field monitoring using the digital image correlation(DIC)method are performed on these specimens to reproduce the destabilization and failure process of overhanging rock under external loading.The influence of peak load is found to be the most sensitive to the fracture length,followed by the free surface depth,and to be the least sensitive to the fracture angle.The DIC-based strain fields reveal that the fracture angle and free surface depth significantly alter the crack propagation paths,whereas the influence of the fracture length is weaker.These parameters also affect the crack initiation time.The relative displacement evolution characteristics indicate that fracture angle,fracture length,and free surface depth affect the shape and size of the rotating block,the rotation center,and the rotation pivot point and degree,respectively.The grayscale characteristic evolution trends are similar for all examined overhanging rock specimens.The evolution of the grayscale indices based on DIC can be divided into high-frequency oscillation,smooth decline(or smooth downward concavity),and stable development stages.Furthermore,the multistage properties of the indices can be used to identify the fracture state of overhanging rocks,providing a theoretical basis for graded early warning of rockfall disasters.

文摘Cracking affected by wetting-drying cycles is a major cause of shallow failure of soft rock slopes.Knowledge of rock tensile properties and cracking behaviors helps better assess the stability of soft rock slopes.This study aims to examine the cracking behaviors and tensile strength of silty mudstone under wetting-drying cycles.The wetting-drying cycle and Brazilian splitting tests were performed on silty mudstone considering various cycle number and amplitude.The cracking behaviors of wetting-drying cycles were analyzed by digital image correlation,three-dimensional(3D)scanning technology,and scanning electron microscopy.The results reveal a spiral-like pattern of crack ratio escalation in silty mudstone,with a higher crack ratio observed during drying than wetting.Tensile strength and fracture energy correlate negatively with cycle number or amplitude,with cycle number exerting a more pronounced effect.The variance of the maximum principal strain reflects stages of initial deformation,linear deformation,strain localization,and stable deformation.The formation of strain localization zones reveals the physical process of crack propagation.Crack tip opening displacement progresses through stages of slow growth,exponential growth,and linear growth,delineating the process from crack initiation to stable extension.Failure modes of silty mudstone primarily involve tensile and tensile-shear failure,influenced by the geometric parameters of cracks induced by wetting-drying cycles.Fracture surface roughness and fractal dimension increase with cycle number due to mineral dissolution,physical erosion,and nondirectional crack propagation.Hydration-swelling and dehydration-shrinkage of clay minerals,along with absorption-drying cracking,initiate and merge cracks,leading to degradation of the rock mechanical properties.The findings could provide insights for mitigating shallow cracking of soft rock slopes under wetting-drying cycles.

文摘Underground mine pillars provide natural stability to the mine area,allowing safe operations for workers and machinery.Extensive prior research has been conducted to understand pillar failure mechanics and design safe pillar layouts.However,limited studies(mostly based on empirical field observation and small-scale laboratory tests)have considered pillar-support interactions under monotonic loading conditions for the design of pillar-support systems.This study used a series of large-scale laboratory compression tests on porous limestone blocks to analyze rock and support behavior at a sufficiently large scale(specimens with edge length of 0.5 m)for incorporation of actual support elements,with consideration of different w/h ratios.Both unsupported and supported(grouted rebar rockbolt and wire mesh)tests were conducted,and the surface deformations of the specimens were monitored using three-dimensional(3D)digital image correlation(DIC).Rockbolts instrumented with distributed fiber optic strain sensors were used to study rockbolt strain distribution,load mobilization,and localized deformation at different w/h ratios.Both axial and bending strains were observed in the rockbolts,which became more prominent in the post-peak region of the stress-strain curve.

文摘The development of geological lamination in shale reservoirs influences fracture propagation during hydraulic stimulation,and the fracture generation mechanism as it propagates through the laminated interface is closely related to fracturing effects.In this paper,the laminated shale was selected to conduct three-point bending experiments using digital image correlation(DIC)and acoustic emission(AE)techniques,which revealed that the propagation path of cross-layer fractures exhibits dislocation features.The cohesive fracture mechanism of cross-layer fractures is investigated from the viewpoint of the fracture process zone(FPZ),which displays the characteristics of intermittence and dislocation during fracture development.A computational criterion for predicting the dislocation of cross-layer fracture at the interface is proposed,which shows that the maximum dislocation range does not exceed 72%of the FPZ length.Considering the mechanical differences between adjacent layers of laminated shale,the cohesive zone model of cross-layer fracture is discussed,from which the constitutive relationship and fracture energy during FPZ development are characterized,and the discontinuous nature of the constitutive relationship is found.This study improves the understanding of the geometry and cohesive fracture mechanism of the cross-layer fracture and provides valuable insights for field fracturing in shale reservoirs.
文摘In order to evaluate the accumulative of tensile strain in the process of fatigue failure, the digital image correlation（DIC） method was utilized to characterize the tensile strain development of asphalt mixtures in the indirect tensile（IDT）fatigue test. Three typical hot mix asphalt（HMA） mixtures with varying nominal maximum aggregate sizes were tested at four stress levels. During the tests, a digital camera was mounted to capture the displacement/strain fields on the surface of the specimen by recording the real-time change of speckle position. The results indicate that the vertical deformation curve can barely evaluate the fatigue performance accurately due to the non-negligible local deflection near the loading point. However, based on the analysis of strain fields,the optimal fatigue cracking zone is determined as a 40mm×40mm rectangle in the middle of the specimens. Also, a reasonable fatigue model based on the tensile strain curves calculated by DIC is proposed to predict the fatigue lives of asphalt mixtures.
