文摘A series of true triaxial unloading tests are conducted on sandstone specimens with a single structural plane to investigate their mechanical behaviors and failure characteristics under different in situ stress states.The experimental results indicate that the dip angle of structural plane(θ)and the intermediate principal stress(σ2)have an important influence on the peak strength,cracking mode,and rockburst severity.The peak strength exhibits a first increase and then decrease as a function ofσ2 for a constantθ.However,whenσ2 is constant,the maximum peak strength is obtained atθof 90°,and the minimum peak strength is obtained atθof 30°or 45°.For the case of an inclined structural plane,the crack type at the tips of structural plane transforms from a mix of wing and anti-wing cracks to wing cracks with an increase inσ2,while the crack type around the tips of structural plane is always anti-wing cracks for the vertical structural plane,accompanied by a series of tensile cracks besides.The specimens with structural plane do not undergo slabbing failure regardless ofθ,and always exhibit composite tensile-shear failure whatever theσ2 value is.With an increase inσ2 andθ,the intensity of the rockburst is consistent with the tendency of the peak strength.By analyzing the relationship between the cohesion(c),internal friction angle(φ),andθin sandstone specimens,we incorporateθinto the true triaxial unloading strength criterion,and propose a modified linear Mogi-Coulomb criterion.Moreover,the crack propagation mechanism at the tips of structural plane,and closure degree of the structural plane under true triaxial unloading conditions are also discussed and summarized.This study provides theoretical guidance for stability assessment of surrounding rocks containing geological structures in deep complex stress environments.

文摘The undrained mechanical behavior of unsaturated completely weathered granite(CWG)is highly susceptible to alterations in the hydraulic environment,particularly under uniaxial loading conditions,due to the unique nature of this soil type.In this study,a series of unconfined compression tests were carried out on unsaturated CWG soil in an underground engineering site,and the effects of varying the environmental variables on the main undrained mechanical properties were analyzed.Based on the experimental results,a novel constitutive model was then established using the damage mechanics theory and the undetermined coefficient method.The results demonstrate that the curves of remolded CWG specimens with different moisture contents and dry densities exhibited diverse characteristics,including brittleness,significant softening,and ductility.As a typical indicator,the unconfined compression strength of soil specimens initially increased with an increase in moisture content and then decreased.Meanwhile,an optimal moisture content of approximately 10.5%could be observed,while a critical moisture content value of 13.0%was identified,beyond which the strength of the specimen decreases sharply.Moreover,the deformation and fracture of CWG specimens were predominantly caused by shear failure,and the ultimate failure modes were primarily influenced by moisture content rather than dry density.Furthermore,by comparing several similar models and the experimental data,the proposed model could accurately replicate the undrained mechanical characteristics of unsaturated CWG soil,and quantitatively describe the key mechanical indexes.These findings offer a valuable reference point for understanding the underlying mechanisms,anticipating potential risks,and implementing effective control measures in similar underground engineering projects.

文摘Exploring dynamic mechanical responses and failure behaviors of hot dry rock(HDR)is significant for geothermal exploitation and stability assessment.In this study,via the split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)system,a series of dynamic compression tests were conducted on granite treated by cyclic thermal shocks at different temperatures.We analyzed the effects of cyclic thermal shock on the thermal-related physical and dynamic mechanical behaviors of granite.Specifically,the P-wave velocity,dynamic strength,and elastic modulus of the tested granite decrease with increasing temperature and cycle number,while porosity and peak strain increase.The degradation law of dynamic mechanical properties could be described by a cubic polynomial.Cyclic thermal shock promotes shear cracks propagation,causing dynamic failure mode of granite to transition from splitting to tensile-shear composite failure,accompanied by surface spalling and debris splashing.Moreover,the thermal shock damage evolution and coupled failure mechanism of tested granite are discussed.The evolution of thermal shock damage with thermal shock cycle numbers shows an obvious S-shaped surface,featured by an exponential correlation with dynamic mechanical parameters.In addition,with increasing thermal shock temperature and cycles,granite mineral species barely change,but the length and width of thermal cracks increase significantly.The non-uniform expansion of minerals,thermal shock-induced cracking,and water-rock interaction are primary factors for deteriorating dynamic mechanical properties of granite under cyclic thermal shock.

文摘The microstructural characterization,corrosion behavior and tensile properties of the extruded lean Mg−1Bi−0.5Sn−0.5In(wt.%)alloy were investigated through scanning electron microscopy(SEM),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),electrochemical measurements and tensile tests.The results reveal that a microstructure consisting of dynamically recrystallized and deformed grains is obtained.Notably,the investigated alloy exhibits excellent strength−ductility synergy,with tensile yield strength(TYS),ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and elongation(EL)of 254.8 MPa,315.4 MPa,and 25.3%,respectively.Furthermore,in 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution,with the increase of immersion time,the dominant corrosion mechanism of the studied alloy transforms from pitting corrosion to filiform corrosion.After the immersion for 24 h,a composite oxide film(SnO2−Bi2O3−In2O3)is formed,which delays the corrosion process,and the corrosion rate(PH=1.53 mm/a)is finally stabilized.

文摘Zinc(Zn)-based materials show broad application prospects for bone repair due to their biodegradability and good biocompatibility.In particular,Zn metal foam has unique interconnected pore structure that facilitates inward growth of new bone tissue,making it ideal candidates for orthopedic implants.However,pure Zn metal foam shows poor mechanical property,high degradation rate,and unsatisfactory osteogenic activity.Herein,Zinc-manganese(Zn-Mn)alloy foams were electrodeposited in Zn and Mn-containing electrolytes to overcome the concerns.The results showed that Mn could be incorporated into the foams in the form of MnZn_(13).Zn-Mn alloy foams showed better mechanical property and osteogenic activity as well as moderate degradation rate when compared with pure Zn metal foam.In addition,these properties could also be regulated by preparation process.The peak stress and osteogenic activity increased with deposition current(0.3‒0.5 A)and electrolyte pH(3‒5),but decreased with electrolyte temperature(20‒40℃),while the degradation rate exhibited opposite tendency,which suggests high deposition current and electrolyte pH and low electrolyte temperature can fabricate Zn-Mn alloy foam with favorable mechanical property,moderate degradation rate,and osteogenic activity.These findings provide a valuable reference for the design and fabrication of novel Zn-based biodegradable materials.

文摘The reservoir landslide undergoes periodic saturation-drying cycles affected by reservoir fluctuation in hydropower project area,leading to the irreversible impact on the landslide materials.Sliding zone is the shearing part in formation of landslide and controls the further development of landslide.The mechanical behavior of sliding zone soil under compression is a crucial factor in the stability analysis in landslides.In this paper,the sliding zone soil from a giant landslide in the biggest hydropower project area,Three Gorges Reservoir Area,is taken as the research case.The particlesize distribution of the sliding zone soil from this landslide is studied and fractal dimension is adopted as representation.Periodic saturation-drying is introduced as the affecting factor on sliding zone soil properties.The triaxial compression test is conducted to reveal the mechanical behavior of the soil,including stress-strain behavior,elastic modulus,failure stress and strength parameters.These behavior of sliding zone soils with different fractal dimensions are studied under the effects of periodic saturation-drying cycles.The normalized stress-strain curves are displayed for further calculation.The data considering saturation-drying cycles are obtained and compared with the experimental results.

文摘High temperature and high stress are critical challenges facing enhanced geothermal systems(EGS).This study investigates the physical and mechanical behavior and acoustic emission(AE)characteristics of granite subjected to heating–water cooling treatments at temperatures ranging from 25℃ to 400℃.Changes in physical properties,including volume expansion,mass loss,and P-wave velocity,were examined to quantify the extent of thermal damage.Results show that visible surface cracking occurs on granite samples treated above 300℃,with P-wave velocity being the most sensitive indicator of thermal damage.Uniaxial and triaxial compression tests were conducted to explore the effects of temperature and confining pressure on granite’s strength,deformation,failure modes,energy evolution,and brittleness.While peak strength remains largely unaffected by temperature,failure modes transition from axial splitting to shear as confining pressure increases.Thermal damage reduces the rock’s energy storage capacity and increases energy dissipation during loading.The brittleness index decreases with temperature and confining pressure,though granite still exhibits pronounced brittle behavior within the studied range.Distinct differences were observed in the AE temporal characteristics and energy evolution of granite samples under uniaxial and triaxial compression conditions.As the specimen approaches failure,the abrupt increase in AE hit rate occurs earlier than the corresponding rise in AE energy.The global b-value of the granite samples increased with treatment temperature,and the global b-value in triaxial compression tests was higher than that in uniaxial compression tests.The evolution of timedependent b-value also varied with increasing confining pressure.These findings,particularly the AE temporal characteristics and distinct b-value evolution under confinement of thermally damaged granite,provide important implications for microseismic-based stability assessment and early warning in thermally damaged rock masses.
文摘Smart materials,especially shape memory composites and 4D printing materials,are widely used in aerospace.Deflectors are essential equipment in wind tunnel construction.Classical deflectors are made of metal materials and have a relatively high structural weight.The deflector made of smart material has the advantage of being lighter in weight compared to classical structure,and it could change the bending angle of the deflector structure under external excitation.In this study,the corresponding mechanical property test and finite element simulation of the smart material are carried out,and the deflector made of smart material is further studied and analyzed.Maxwell viscoelasticity model for the material is established,and relevant parameters are obtained through stress relaxation test fitting.According to relevant parameters and literature,finite element simulation of intelligent deflector structure is carried out.The pressure loss coefficient,airflow deflection angle,and velocity uniformity are studied.The numerical model of the minimum pressure loss coefficient is established with reference to the relevant data,and the formula for calculating the optimal upwind radius of the deflector is obtained.Combined with the numerical simulation results of the flow deflection angle and velocity uniformity of the flow field,it provides a reference for the selection of the size of the deflector.

文摘In this study,a coupled loading method combining three-dimensional static loading with graded cyclic impacts was developed to simulate the stress environment of the surrounding rock under impact ground pressure caused by cyclic disturbances.The mechanical behavior and energy dissipation of coal under this loading method were studied using a split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB).The results showed that the pre-applied cyclic low-pressure impacts deteriorated the coal sample's resistance to external loads.Under both cyclic low-pressure impacts and single high-pressure impacts,the dynamic peak stress and secant modulus decreased with increasing impact cycles,exhibiting dynamic fatigue characteristics.The dynamic secant modulus of the sample decreased by 4.14%-6.67%after each impact.The dissipated energy for coal fragmentation samples increased with the number of impacts,averaging 28%under cyclic low-pressure impacts and 29%under single high-pressure impacts.The efficiency of dissipated energy for coal fragmentation initially increased and then decreased as the wave impedance ratio between the coal sample and the bar increased,reaching a maximum of 43.3%when the ratio was 0.06.Based on the defined damage variable,the damage to coal samples from high-pressure impacts was found to be 12 times greater than that under low-pressure conditions.The degree of coal fragmentation was positively correlated with the maximum damage increment.With increasing maximum damage increment,the failure mode of the coal sample evolved from tensile failure to tensile-compressive-shear composite failure.

文摘In this study,nanoindentation techniques,macroscopic mechanical testing,and the Mori-Tanaka theoretical model are integrated to analyze the thermal‒mechanical behavior of granite systematically.The experimental results demonstrate that quartz and feldspar maintain relatively stable mechanical properties up to 600℃,whereas significant weakening at mineral interfaces occurs between 400℃ and 500℃,resulting in a greater than 50%reduction in the overall strength and Young's modulus at 600℃.A two-step homogenization approach based on the Mori‒Tanaka framework is proposed,which incorporates a three-phase composite sphere model to characterize the interfacial softening effects.This improved method enhances the prediction accuracy of high-temperature mechanical performance,achieving more than 50%improvement in alignment with experimental data.Despite some deviations above 500℃,the model provides direction for further refinement.This investigation advances the understanding of heterogeneous rock mechanical behavior in high-temperature environments and provides critical theoretical support for geothermal energy development and nuclear waste disposal applications.

文摘In this study,microstructure and mechanical behavior of Mg/Al composite plates with Ti foil interlayer were systematically studied,with a great emphasis on the effect of different thicknesses of Ti foil interlayer.The results show that compared to 100μm thick Ti foil,10μm thick Ti foil is more prone to fracture and is evenly distributed in fragments at the interface.The introduction of Ti foil can effectively refine the grain size of Mg layers of as-rolled Mg/Al composite plates,10μm thick Ti foil has a better refining effect than 100μm thick Ti foil.Ti foil can effectively increase the yield strength(YS)and ultimate strength(UTS)of as-rolled Mg/Al composite plates,10μm thick Ti foil significantly improves the elongation(El)of Mg/Al composite plate,while 100μm thick Ti foil slightly weakens the El.After annealing at 420℃ for 0.5 h and 4 h,Ti foil can inhibit the formation of intermetallic compounds(IMCs)at the interface of Mg/Al composite plates,which effectively improves the YS,UTS and El of Mg/Al composite plates.In addition,Ti foil can also significantly enhance the interfacial shear strength(SS)of Mg/Al composite plates before and after annealing.

文摘The deteriorated bearing capacity and nonlinear expansion deformation of weakly cemented Xiyu conglomerate under complex water environments and stress disturbances pose significant risks to the safety of stratum engineering construction.In this study,to precisely comprehend the influences of pore pressure(P_(w))and stress path on the deformation characteristics,dilation behavior,and damage evolution of Xiyu conglomerate,a series of triaxial monotonic loading and cyclic loading-unloading tests were conducted on saturated Xiyu conglomerate with varied confining pressures(σ_(3))and pore pressures.The results indicate that as P_(w)increases,the secant modulus,unloading modulus,and loading modulus decrease,but increase with risingσ_(3).Additionally,P_(w)accelerates the onset of dilatancy,whereasσ_(3)delays it.Asσ_(3)increases,the peak stress,crack damage stress,and residual strength increase,while these parameters decrease with increasing P_(w).A positive correlation exists between the effective confining pressure and the effective axial stress.Furthermore,an increase in P_(w)results in a greater maximum dilation angle,which decreases with increasingσ_(3).The failure mode is mainly a tensile-shear mixed failure mode.The high pore pressure and cyclic loading stress path aggravate the deterioration of strength and failure mode of the weakly cemented Xiyu conglomerate.Finally,a new damage variable and conceptual model are proposed and discussed.The findings provide insight into the damage and failure mechanism of the Xiyu conglomerate under pore pressure and cyclic disturbance,offering a crucial experimental foundation for the design and construction of hydropower projects in the Xiyu conglomerate layer.

文摘Compressive mechanical behavior and microstructure evolution of Ti−5.7Al−2.9Nb−1.8Fe−1.6Mo−1.5V−1Zr alloy under extreme conditions were systematically investigated.The results show that strain rate and temperature have a significant influence on the mechanical behavior and microstructure.The alloy exhibits a positive strain rate sensitivity and negative temperature sensitivity under all temperature and strain rate conditions.The hot-rolled alloy is composed of a bimodal structure including an equiaxed primary α_(p) phase and a transformedβphase.After compression deformation,the bimodal deformed structural features highly rely on the temperature and strain rate.At low temperature and room temperature,the volume fraction and size of α_(p) phase decrease with increasing temperature and strain rate.At high temperature,the volume fraction of the α_(p)hase is inversely correlated with temperature.A modified Johnson−Cook constitutive model is established,and the predicted results coincide well with the experimental results.

文摘Subgrade settlement is a common issue in soil ground within earthquake-prone regions,posing a threat to the safe operation of train-slab track coupled system(TSCS)in high-speed railways(HSRs).This study aims to analyze the mechanical behavior evolution of TSCS under subgrade settlement and earthquake excitation.The refined numerical model of slab track under subgrade differential settlement is established.The short settlement wavelength of 10 m causes the separation between the base and subgrade.The dynamic model of TSCS under subgrade settlement and earthquake excitation is developed.The dynamic response of TSCS exhibits more pronounced fluctuations under the combined effects of subgrade settlement and earthquake excitation than under the effects of settlement or earthquake alone.The evaluation indexes for the running safety of train on slab track under different settlement wavelengths exhibit varying degrees of increase with settlement amplitude and are particularly sensitive to the short settlement wavelength of 10 m.The wheel unloading rate and derailment coefficient of TSCS increase with earthquake intensity.Under the settlement wavelength of 10 m and amplitude of 20 mm,the wheel unloading rate of TSCS exceeds the allowable limit when the earthquake intensity exceeds 0.17g,and the derailment coefficient exceeds the allowable limit when the earthquake intensity surpasses 0.29g.
