文摘In the process of deep engineering excavation,the mechanical properties of rock are significantly influenced by the coupled effects of water and high stress,which greatly increase construction difficulty.To more accurately investigate the impact of water disturbance on the failure process of dry rock under high stress and the failure mechanisms of saturated rock in underwater environments,a water environment test chamber and a prefabricated borehole specimen through-water device were designed.A series of experiments were conducted,including uniaxial tests,water-disturbed granite cylinder tests,and through-water disturbance tests on prefabricated hole square specimens.The results showed that the acoustic emission(AE)hits and accumulated energy after the through-water disturbance at the same time were 8.77 and 12.08 times higher than before the disturbance,respectively.And water disturbance increased the proportion of tensile failure and reduced the proportion of shear failure.A key observation was that AE events were mainly generated in the permeation areas near the borehole.The main reason was that under high stress,the weakening effect of water led to the failure of the local mineral structure of the rock,promoting crack extension and triggering overall instability.Notably,failure of the saturated specimens underwater was only observed when the applied load approached the saturation strength of the prefabricated hole square specimens.The study results provide an important theoretical basis for understanding the damage mechanism of water-disturbed rocks in deep engineering,and have significant implications for the design and construction of engineering.

文摘This study aims to understand the effect of injection rate on injection-induced fracture activation in granite.We performed water injection-induced slip tests on samples containing either a smooth or a rough fracture at four different injection rates under undrained conditions and monitored the acoustic emission(AE)signals during the tests.Experimental results reveal that the critical activation fluid pressure is related to the injection rate,pressure diffusion rate,stress state,and fracture roughness.For the smooth fracture,as the injection rate increases,the critical activation fluid pressure increases significantly,while the injection rate has little effect on the critical activation fluid pressure of the rough fracture.The quasi-static slip distance of fractures decreases as the injection rate increases,with rough fractures exhibiting a greater overall slip distance compared to smooth fractures.The number of AE events per unit sliding distance increases with the injection rate,while the global b value decreases.These results indicate that higher injection rates produce more large-magnitude AE events and more severe slip instability and asperity damage.We established a linkage between fluid injection volume,injection rate,and AE events using the seismogenic index(Σ).The smooth fracture exhibits a steadily increasingΣwith the elapse of injection time,and the rate of increase is higher at higher injection rates;while the rough fracture is featured by a fluctuatingΣ,signifying the intermittent occurrence of large-magnitude AE events associated with the damage of larger fracture asperities.Our results highlight the importance of fracture surface heterogeneity on injection-induced fracture activation and slip.

文摘On-demand droplet manipulation plays a critical role in microfluidics,bio/chemical detection and microreactions.Acoustic droplet manipulation has emerged as a promising technique due to its non-contact nature,biocompatibility and precision,circumventing the complexities associated with other methods requiring surface or droplet pretreatment.Despite their promise,existing methods for acoustic droplet manipulation often involve complex hardware setups and difficulty for controlling individual droplet amidst multiple ones.Here we fabricate simple yet effective acoustic tweezers for in-surface and out-of-surface droplet manipulation.It is found that droplets can be transported on the superhydrophobic surfaces when the acoustic radiation force surpasses the friction force.Using a two-axis acoustic tweezer,droplets can be maneuvered along arbitrarily programmed paths on the surfaces.By introducing multiple labyrinthine structures on the superhydrophobic surface,individual droplet manipulation is realized by constraining the unselected droplets in the labyrinthine structures.In addition,a three-axis acoustic tweezer is developed for manipulating droplets in three-dimensional space.Potential applications of the acoustic tweezers for micro-reaction,bio-assay and chemical analysis are also demonstrated.

文摘In cold-region environments,where complex stresses and mining disturbances occur,rock masses are frequently segmented into discontinuous bodies by fractured structural planes,leading to anisotropic physical and mechanical properties.To explore the evolution of microcracks,degradation characteristics,and failure modes of fractured rocks in cold regions under the influence of freeze-thaw cycles,integrating laboratory experiments with the damage mechanics of freeze-thaw cycles.A numerical model for freeze-thaw cycle damage in rocks with various fracture dip angles was developed.The study revealed that the freeze-thaw expansion force generated during the pore water-ice phase transition is the primary driving factor behind freeze-thaw cycle damage.The initiation and propagation of microcracks and micropores,the detachment of matrix particles,and the loosening of clay mineral structures result in the transformation of the rock from a dense to a porous state,causing significant degradation in macroscopic mechanical properties.As freeze-thaw cycles increase,both the uniaxial compressive strength and the deformation modulus of the rock decrease significantly,with the failure mode gradually shifting from brittle instability to brittle-plastic or plastic failure.The findings of this study offer a practical approach to uncovering the mechanical response mechanisms between freeze-thaw damage in fractured rocks and structural planes.

文摘Three sandstone specimens common in rock engineering were selected to study the differences in the mechanical properties of rocks with different lithologies.The development and expansion of the internal cracks in the specimens were observed by combining the simulation system with the acoustic emission system.Through the combination of dynamic and static stresses,the deformation and damage of rocks under deep rock excavation and blasting were simulated.As the results show,the acoustic emission events of specimens with different lithologies under combined static and dynamic cyclic loading can be roughly divided into three phases:weakening,stabilizing,and surging periods.In addition,the acoustic emission characteristics of specimens with different lithologies show general consistency in different compression phases.The degree of fragmentation of specimens increases with the applied stress level;therefore,the stress level is one of the important factors influencing the damage pattern of specimens.The acoustic emission system was used to simulate the deformation and damage of rocks subjected to deep rock body excavation and engineering blasting.Cyclic dynamic perturbations under sinusoidal waves with a frequency of 5 Hz,a loading rate of 0.1 mm/min,a cyclic amplitude of 5 MPa,and a loading rate of 0.1 mm/min were applied to the three rock samples during the experiments.Among them,the fine-grained sandstones are the most sensitive to the sinusoidal cyclic perturbation,followed by the muddy siltstone and the medium-grained sandstones.On this basis,the acoustic emission energy release characteristics were analyzed,and the waveform characteristics in the damage evolution of the specimen under dynamic perturbation were studied by extracting the key points and searching for the main frequency eigenvalues.

文摘Acoustic detection has many applications across science and technology from medicine to imaging and communications.However,most acoustic sensors have a common limitation in that the detection must be near the acoustic source.Alternatively,laser interferometry with picometer-scale motional displacement detection can rapidly and precisely measure sound-induced minute vibrations on remote surfaces.Here,we demonstrate the feasibility of sound detection up to 100 kHz at remote sites with≈60 m optical path length via laser homodyne interferometry.Based on our ultrastable hertz linewidth laser with 10-15 fractional stability,our laser interferometer achieves 0.5 pm/Hz1/2 displacement sensitivity near 10 kHz,bounded only by laser frequency noise over 10 kHz.Between 140 Hz and 15 kHz,we achieve a homodyne acoustic sensing sensitivity of subnanometer/Pascal across our conversational frequency overtones.The minimal sound pressure detectable over 60 m optical path length is≈2 mPa,with dynamic ranges over 100 dB.With the demonstrated standoff picometric distance metrology,we successfully detected and reconstructed musical scores of normal conversational volumes with high fidelity.The acoustic detection via this precision laser interferometer could be applied to selective area sound sensing for remote acoustic metrology,optomechanical vibrational motion sensing,and ultrasensitive optical microphones at the laser frequency noise limits.
