It conducts a uniaxial graded loading creep test on yellow sandstone under different pre-peak unloading and wetting-drying cycles. The improved nonlinear Nishihara model was obtained by introducing a nonlinear viscous element with an accelerated creep threshold switch. The sensitivity characteristics of the parameters of the improved creep model were analyzed and a nonlinear creep constitutive model was established, considering the unloading-cyclic intrinsic damage induced by water intrusion. The research results show that:(1)With an increase in the unloading point, the porosity of the rock samples initially decreases and then increases. As the number of cyclic water intrusions rises, the porosity of the rock samples gradually increases, reaching a maximum of 9.58% at an unloading point of 70% uniaxial compression stress(0.7 Rc) after five cycles.(2) Total creep deformation increases with the number of cyclic water intrusions;however, with an increase in the unloading ratio, the original samples show an initial decrease, followed by an increase in creep deformation. With a higher unloading ratio and various instances of cyclic water intrusion, the total creep time of the rock samples,compared to the original samples, is reduced by 21.8%and 23.02%. The creep damage mode gradually changes from shear damage to tensile damage.(3) The sensitivity characteristics of the improved creep model parameters show that transient elasticity modulus E1 is affected by the coupling of unloading and cyclic water intrusion. The viscoelastic modulus E2 and viscous coefficient η1 are mainly affected by unloading and cyclic water intrusion.(4) Based on the strain equivalence principle of damage mechanics, the damage treatment of the parameters in the original model is improved to construct a nonlinear creep constitutive model that considers unloading-cyclic water intrusion damage. A parameter inversion and comparison to the traditional Nishihara model reveal an average relative standard deviation of 0.271%,significantly less than 1%, indicating a more accurate nonlinear creep constitutive model. The research results are crucial for analyzing the long-term stability of water-related steep rocky slopes post-excavation and unloading and for preventing and controlling creep-type landslide disasters.展开更多

For this, tensile tests of rocks under high-temperature treatment were conducted with a ϕ75 mm split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) to investigate the mesoscopic fracture and damage properties of rock. An improved scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experimental method was used to analyze the tensile fracture surfaces of rock samples. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed to assess evolution of mesoscopic damage of heat-damaged rock under tensile loading. A constitutive model describing the mesoscopic fractal damage under thermo-mechanical coupling was established. The results showed that the high temperatures significantly reduced the tensile strength and fracture surface roughness of the red sandstone. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the fracture surface of the samples that experienced tensile failure at 900 °C showed a flat surface. The standard deviation of elevation and slope angle of specimen fracture surface first increased and then decreased with increasing temperature. The threshold for brittle fracture of the heat-damaged red sandstone specimens was 600 °C. Beyond this threshold temperature, local ductile fracture occurred, resulting in plastic deformation of the fracture surface during tensile fracturing. With increase of temperature, the internal meso-structure of samples was strengthened slightly at first and then deteriorated gradually, which was consistent with the change of macroscopic mechanical properties of red sandstone. The mesoscopic characteristics, such as the number, mean side length, maximum area, porosity, and fractal dimension of crack, exhibited an initial decline, followed by a gradual increase. The development of microcracks in samples had significant influence on mesoscopic fractal dimension. The mesoscopic fractal characteristics were used to establish a mesoscopic fractal damage constitutive model for red sandstone, and the agreement between the theoretical and experimental results validated the proposed model.展开更多

文摘The generalized rheological tests on sandstone were conducted under both dynamic stress and seepage fields.The results demonstrate that the rheological strain of the specimen under increased stress conditions is greater than that under creep conditions,indicating that the dynamic stress field significantly influences the rheological behaviours of sandstone.Following the rheological tests,the number of small pores in the sandstone decreased,while the number of medium-sized pores increased,forming new seepage channels.The high initial rheological stress accelerated fracture compression and the closure of seepage channels,resulting in reduction in the permeability of sandstone.Based on the principles of generalized rheology and the experimental findings,a novel rock rheological constitutive model incorporating both the dynamic stress field and seepage properties has been developed.Numerical simulations of surrounding rock deformation in geotechnical engineering were carried out using a secondary development version of this model,which confirmed the applicability of the generalized rheological numerical simulation method.These results provide theoretical support for the long-term stability evaluation of engineering rock masses and for predicting the deformation of surrounding rock.

文摘A new unified constitutive model was developed to predict the two-stage creep-aging(TSCA)behavior of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys.The particular bimodal precipitation feature was analyzed and modeled by considering the primary micro-variables evolution at different temperatures and their interaction.The dislocation density was incorporated into the model to capture the effect of creep deformation on precipitation.Quantitative transmission electron microscopy and experimental data obtained from a previous study were used to calibrate the model.Subsequently,the developed constitutive model was implemented in the finite element(FE)software ABAQUS via the user subroutines for TSCA process simulation and the springback prediction of an integral panel.A TSCA test was performed.The result shows that the maximum radius deviation between the formed plate and the simulation results is less than 0.4 mm,thus validating the effectiveness of the developed constitutive model and FE model.

文摘Investigating the combined effects of mining damage and creep damage on slope stability is crucial,as it can comprehensively reveal the non-linear deformation characteristics of rock under their joint influence.This study develops a fractional-order nonlinear creep constitutive model that incorporates the double damage effect and implements a non-linear creep subroutine for soft rock using the threedimensional finite difference method on the FLAC3D platform.Comparative analysis of the theoretical,numerical,and experimental results reveals that the fractional-order constitutive model,which incorporates the double damage effect,accurately reflects the distinct deformation stages of green mudstone during creep failure and effectively captures the non-linear deformation in the accelerated creep phase.The numerical results show a fitting accuracy exceeding 97%with the creep test curves,significantly outperforming the 61%accuracy of traditional creep models.

文摘A novel fractional elastoplastic constitutive model is proposed to accurately characterize the deformation of sandstone under true-triaxial stress states.This model is founded on the yield function and the fractional flow rule.The yield function includes parameters that govern the evolution of yield surface,enabling an accurate description of three-dimensional stress states.The direction of plastic flow is governed by the two different fractional orders,which are functions of the plastic internal variable.Additionally,a detailed process is proposed for identifying the yield function parameters and fractional orders.Subsequently,the relationship between the fractional order and the direction of plastic flow in the meridian and deviatoric planes is examined,characterized by the dilation angle and the plastic deflection angle,respectively.The non-orthogonal flow rule,also referred to as the fractional flow rule,allows for a border range of plastic deflection and dilation angles compared to the orthogonal flow rule,thereby significantly enhancing its applicability.The validity and accuracy of proposed model are verified by comparing the analytical solution of the constitutive model with the experimental data.A comparison between the non-orthogonal flow rule and orthogonal flow rule is conducted in both the deviatoric and meridian planes.The further comparison of the stress-strain curves for the non-orthogonal and orthogonal flow rules demonstrates the superiority of the fractional constitutive model.

文摘The study focuses on the creep characteristics of significant yellow sandstone for water conservancy, hydropower, and other waterrelated slope excavation unloading rock-graded loading creep characteristics. It conducts a uniaxial graded loading creep test on yellow sandstone under different pre-peak unloading and wetting-drying cycles. The improved nonlinear Nishihara model was obtained by introducing a nonlinear viscous element with an accelerated creep threshold switch. The sensitivity characteristics of the parameters of the improved creep model were analyzed and a nonlinear creep constitutive model was established, considering the unloading-cyclic intrinsic damage induced by water intrusion. The research results show that:(1)With an increase in the unloading point, the porosity of the rock samples initially decreases and then increases. As the number of cyclic water intrusions rises, the porosity of the rock samples gradually increases, reaching a maximum of 9.58% at an unloading point of 70% uniaxial compression stress(0.7 Rc) after five cycles.(2) Total creep deformation increases with the number of cyclic water intrusions;however, with an increase in the unloading ratio, the original samples show an initial decrease, followed by an increase in creep deformation. With a higher unloading ratio and various instances of cyclic water intrusion, the total creep time of the rock samples,compared to the original samples, is reduced by 21.8%and 23.02%. The creep damage mode gradually changes from shear damage to tensile damage.(3) The sensitivity characteristics of the improved creep model parameters show that transient elasticity modulus E1 is affected by the coupling of unloading and cyclic water intrusion. The viscoelastic modulus E2 and viscous coefficient η1 are mainly affected by unloading and cyclic water intrusion.(4) Based on the strain equivalence principle of damage mechanics, the damage treatment of the parameters in the original model is improved to construct a nonlinear creep constitutive model that considers unloading-cyclic water intrusion damage. A parameter inversion and comparison to the traditional Nishihara model reveal an average relative standard deviation of 0.271%,significantly less than 1%, indicating a more accurate nonlinear creep constitutive model. The research results are crucial for analyzing the long-term stability of water-related steep rocky slopes post-excavation and unloading and for preventing and controlling creep-type landslide disasters.

文摘Coral reef limestone(CRL)constitutes a distinctive marine carbonate formation with complex mechanical properties.This study investigates the multiscale damage and fracture mechanisms of CRL through integrated experimental testing,digital core technology,and theoretical modelling.Two CRL types with contrasting mesostructures were characterized across three scales.Macroscopically,CRL-I and CRL-II exhibited mean compressive strengths of 8.46 and 5.17 MPa,respectively.Mesoscopically,CRL-I featured small-scale highly interconnected pores,whilst CRL-II developed larger stratified pores with diminished connectivity.Microscopically,both CRL matrices demonstrated remarkable similarity in mineral composition and mechanical properties.A novel voxel average-based digital core scaling methodology was developed to facilitate numerical simulation of cross-scale damage processes,revealing network-progressive failure in CRL-I versus directional-brittle failure in CRL-II.Furthermore,a damage statistical constitutive model based on digital core technology and mesoscopic homogenisation theory established quantitative relationships between microelement strength distribution and macroscopic mechanical behavior.These findings illuminate the fundamental mechanisms through which mesoscopic structure governs the macroscopic mechanical properties of CRL.

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Understanding the mesoscopic tensile fracture damage of rock is the basis of evaluating the deterioration process of mechanical properties of heat-damaged rock. For this, tensile tests of rocks under high-temperature treatment were conducted with a ϕ75 mm split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) to investigate the mesoscopic fracture and damage properties of rock. An improved scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experimental method was used to analyze the tensile fracture surfaces of rock samples. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed to assess evolution of mesoscopic damage of heat-damaged rock under tensile loading. A constitutive model describing the mesoscopic fractal damage under thermo-mechanical coupling was established. The results showed that the high temperatures significantly reduced the tensile strength and fracture surface roughness of the red sandstone. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the fracture surface of the samples that experienced tensile failure at 900 °C showed a flat surface. The standard deviation of elevation and slope angle of specimen fracture surface first increased and then decreased with increasing temperature. The threshold for brittle fracture of the heat-damaged red sandstone specimens was 600 °C. Beyond this threshold temperature, local ductile fracture occurred, resulting in plastic deformation of the fracture surface during tensile fracturing. With increase of temperature, the internal meso-structure of samples was strengthened slightly at first and then deteriorated gradually, which was consistent with the change of macroscopic mechanical properties of red sandstone. The mesoscopic characteristics, such as the number, mean side length, maximum area, porosity, and fractal dimension of crack, exhibited an initial decline, followed by a gradual increase. The development of microcracks in samples had significant influence on mesoscopic fractal dimension. The mesoscopic fractal characteristics were used to establish a mesoscopic fractal damage constitutive model for red sandstone, and the agreement between the theoretical and experimental results validated the proposed model.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of as-extruded Ti-6554 alloy was investigated through isothermal compression at 700–950°C and 0.001–1 s^(−1).The temperature rise under different deformation conditions was calculated,and the curve was corrected.The strain compensation constitutive model of as-extruded Ti-6554 alloy based on temperature rise correction was established.The microstructure evolution under different conditions was analyzed,and the dynamic recrystallization(DRX)mechanism was revealed.The results show that the flow stress decreases with the increase in strain rate and the decrease in deformation temperature.The deformation temperature rise gradually increases with the increase in strain rate and the decrease in deformation temperature.At 700°C/1 s^(−1),the temperature rise reaches 100°C.The corrected curve value is higher than the measured value,and the strain compensation constitutive model has high prediction accuracy.The precipitation of theαphase occurs during deformation in the twophase region,which promotes DRX process of theβphase.At low strain rate,the volume fraction of dynamic recrystallization increases with the increase in deformation temperature.DRX mechanism includes continuous DRX and discontinuous DRX.

文摘The internal pressure within fission gas bubbles(FGBs)in irradiated nuclear fuels drives mechanical interactions with the surrounding fuel skeleton.To investigate the micromechanical stress fields in irradiated nuclear fuels containing pressurized FGBs,a mechanical constitutive model for the equivalent solid of FGBs was developed and validated.This model was based on the modified Van der Waals equation,incorporating the effects of surface tension.Using this model,the micromechanical fields in irradiated U-10Mo fuels with randomly distributed FGBs were calculated during uniaxial tensile testing via the finite element(FE)method.The macroscopic elastic constants of the irradiated U-10Mo fuels were then derived using homogenization theory,and the influences of bubble pressure,bubble size,and porosity on these constants were examined.Results show that adjacent FGBs exhibit mechanical interactions,which leads to distinct stress concentrations in the surrounding fuel skeleton.The macroscopic elastic constants of irradiated U-10Mo fuels decrease with increasing the macroscopic porosity,which can be quantitatively described by the Mori-Tanaka model.In contrast,bubble pressure and size have negligible effects on these constants.

文摘The creep deformation and mechanical properties of 2219 aluminum alloy were experimentally investigated under both tension and compression at the temperature of 165℃for different time.The results indicated that the creep deformation under tensile stress was greater than that under compressive stress.As the stress level increases,the compressive creep rate showed more significant increase.The yield strength after compressive stress creep-ageing was higher than that after stress-free ageing,with the lowest strength observed in the tensile-aged sample.Overall,the average phase length after compressive stress creep-ageing was larger than after tensile stress ageing.Under tensile stress,the number and size of precipitates at small angles to the stress direction were larger than those perpendicular to the stress direction.In contrast,under compressive stress,this relationship was reversed,and the preferential orientation of phases became more pronounced with ageing time.A unified,physics-based creep-ageing constitutive model,accounting for the orientation of precipitation,was developed for both tensile and compressive stress conditions.The predicted results were in good agreement with the experimental data.These findings,along with the developed model,provide a theoretical and simulation basis for precise creep-ageing forming of components under complex stresses.

文摘High-altitude cold regions exhibit complex geological and environmental conditions,fostering steep rock slopes with macroscopic joints and mesoscopic freeze-thaw(F-T)damage.Cyclic loading further exacerbates rock instability,yet the fracture mechanisms and load response relationships remain poorly understood.This study prepared intact and fractured sandstone specimens,subjected them to F-T cycles and graded loading-unloading,and monitored their structural evolution via X-ray computed tomography.First,the progressive failure process was investigated from both qualitative morphologic features and quantitative void parameters.The results showed that intact and fractured sandstone instability behaviors are determined by F-T damage and joint arrangement,respectively.However,both indicate that precursory localization of failure can only be detected when heterogeneous damage exists in advance.Furthermore,the void parameters of undamaged intact sandstone exhibit power-law acceleration,while damaged sandstones are characterized by a trend of initial decrease followed by an increase.Subsequently,a damage constitutive model for freeze-thawed fractured sandstone under graded loading-unloading was established.This model is based on the Lemaitre strain equivalence hypothesis and defines the coupled damage variable through multivariable indicators.In this framework,the material damage induced by fractures and F-T is unified and characterized by void parameters;while the load-induced damage is integrated with the energy linear allocation law and defined by damage energy.Thus,the stress-strain theoretical relationship is depicted,and the model is validated as reliable.Finally,a conceptual model of rock damage due to F-T and loading-unloading was proposed by combining the microscopic testing results from X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

文摘To elucidate the cyclic creep mechanisms in China's impure salt rock after high-temperature damage,cyclic nanoindentation and uniaxial cyclic loading tests were conducted at 25℃,100℃,120℃,and 160℃in this study.The results revealed that under cyclic nanoindentation,gypsum mineral exhibited significantly lower indentation depths compared to halite and ankerite minerals,indicating superior resistance to deformation.Additionally,the results demonstrated that high temperature significantly enhances the creep behavior.The maximum indentation depth and creep displacement of minerals,as well as the maximum deformation and creep strain of rock cores,all followed an exponential increase with rising temperatures,with the rate of increase accelerating at higher temperatures.Importantly,it was found that mineral deformation is not the dominant factor in the overall deformation of rock cores;however,the behavior of the mineral phases fundamentally governs the salt rock's mechanical response under stress.Based on these findings,a new constitutive model for cyclic creep was established based on fractional derivatives to accurately characterize the nonlinear cyclic creep characteristics of impure salt rocks at different scales.This model was validated against test data,effectively representing the periodic fluctuations in indentation depth or strain,particularly during the accelerated creep stage.Furthermore,a temperature-dependent correction parameter was introduced,along with a modified Mori-Tanaka method,to upscale microscale results to the macroscale across varying temperatures.This study provides a theoretical foundation for predicting deformation and assessing the stability of salt cavern walls under high-temperature and cyclic loading conditions in deep geological settings.

文摘To investigate the effects of water and cyclic loading on dolomite’s mechanical properties during deep mining,mechanical experiments on non-pressure water absorption and cyclic loading were conducted.The findings reveal that the elastic modulus and Poisson ratio of dolomite fluctuate with increasing water content.The mass of water absorption is positively correlated with time and the water absorption stage can be divided into three stages:accelerated,decelerated,and stabilized stages.During this process,the number of pores in dolomite increases,while the pore diameter initially decreases and then fluctuates.Microscopic analysis shows that the proportion of mesopores first increases and then decreases,while micropores exhibit the opposite trend,and the proportion of macropores fluctuates around 0%.A model diagram of structural evolution during water absorption has been developed.Additionally,the softening process of dolomite’s water absorption strength is categorized into three stages:a relatively stable stage,an accelerated softening stage dominated by mesopore water absorption,and a decelerated softening stage characterized by micropore water absorption.A uniaxial damage constitutive model for dolomite under water influence was established based on the Weibull distribution and Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion,and experimental validation indicates its strong applicability.
