文摘In deep coal mining,surrounding rock is subjected to both high in-situ stress and intense mining disturbances,leading to significant time-dependent behavior.Accurately capturing this behavior is essential for predicting long-term roadway stability,necessitating the development of a reliable constitutive creep model and numerical simulation approach.In this study,creep experiments were conducted on pre-damaged rock with varying initial damage levels to investigate the time-dependent mechanical properties.Based on the experimental results,an accelerated-creep criterion was proposed,and an elastic-viscoplastic creep damage model(EVPCD)was established that simultaneously considers the effects of time-dependent damage and instantaneous damage caused by stress disturbances on rock creep behavior.Subsequently,the effectiveness of the proposed creep model was verified using experimental data,and the secondary development of the EVPCD model was completed based on the FLAC3D platform.Following this,a long-term stability analysis method of deep surrounding rock that accounts for excavation-and mining-induced disturbances was proposed.Using the main roadway of Xutuan Coal Mine as a case study,numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the time-dependent deformation and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock following excavation and mining disturbance.Combined with on-site monitoring of the surrounding rock damage areas,the results indicate that the EVPCD outperforms the CVISC and Nishihara models in predicting the time-dependent behavior of deep surrounding rock.

文摘To reveal the influence of coupled effects of dry-wet cycling and precompression stress(CEDWCPS)on the damage evolution of limestone with horizontal fissure(LHF),a series of degradation and uniaxial compression tests were conducted,and a corresponding piecewise damage constitutive model(PDCM)was established.We found that both dry-wet cycling and precompression stress deteriorate the physical properties,alter the microscopic characteristics,and reduce the mechanical properties of the LHF.These degradations are particularly pronounced under the CEDWCPS,although the magnitude of these changes gradually diminishes with the progression of dry-wet cycling.Meanwhile,they also reduce the deformation degree,prolong the micropore compaction stage,shorten the unstable crack propagation stage,lower the frequency and intensity of AE events,decrease the high-amplitude and high-frequency AE signals,enlarge crack scales,and shorten the crack initiation time.Among the changes of these indicators,the dry-wet cycling plays a dominant role.The crack types of LHF under the CEDWCPS(LHFCEDWCPS)are predominantly tensile cracks,supplemented by shear cracks.The failure mode can be defined as tensileshear composite failure.Finally,the established PDCM effectively captures the nonlinear deformation of micropore and the linear deformation of the matrix in LHFCEDWCPS,with all corresponding R^(2) consistently exceeding 0.97.

文摘To investigate the long-term stability of soft-hard interbedded rock masses with initial damage induced by earthquakes and periodic drying and wetting,this study prepared samples with different initial damage through cyclic loading and unloading(CLU)experiments followed by cyclic drying and wetting(CDW)experiments,and finally conducted creep experiments.The study analyzed the effects of initial damage on creep mechanical behavior,crack evolution,and explored failure precursor information,revealing the damage failure mechanisms.The results show that the structural characteristics of the rock mass control its macroscopic failure mode.Initial damage promotes microcrack development,influences the fracture mode,and increases the proportion of high-frequency(200−280 kHz)acoustic emission events during creep.Meanwhile,initial damage exacerbates creep characteristics,increasing the creep rate,shortening total creep failure time,and reducing long-term strength.The damage failure is attributed to:the generation of internal cracks and pores in the rock caused by CLU;mineral hydrolysis and expansion-contraction due to CDW,resulting in weakened intergranular cementation;and full development of cracks and pores under creep stress.Additionally,the deformation difference coefficient and the coefficient of variation of RA/AF values can serve as precursor indicators for creep failure.

文摘The limited high-temperature oxidation resistance of Mg alloys is a key factor restricting their development and application.The addition of some rare earth elements(REs),owing to their unique physical and chemical properties,can significantly enhance the oxidation resistance of Mg alloys.Based on our previous study,we conclude that REs such as Gd,Y,and Ce enhance the oxidation resistance of Mg-RE alloys.This article comprehensively reviews recent research progress on high-temperature oxidation behavior and the potential mechanism in Mg-RE alloys.Based on the thermodynamic and kinetic analyses,the evolution of the complex oxide system formed during the high-temperature oxidation of Mg-RE alloys is first summarized.The diffusion behavior and concentration control mechanisms of REs during the oxidation process and how these mechanisms affect the sustained growth of the oxide film and antioxidant properties were elucidated.Moreover,the different structures of the oxide films were classified,and their properties were discussed.Finally,this paper introduces the applications of commonly used REs in Mg alloys and frontier research on their oxidation mechanisms.Based on the above review,we propose that future research perspectives can be explored in terms of expanding the experimental temperature range for oxidation tests,optimizing the chemical composition by adding trace REs to study their synergistic mechanism,revealing the underlying oxidation mechanism through advanced in situ microscopic characterization methods,and investigating the mechanical properties of oxide films using diverse approaches.

文摘Background:Human skin is affected by ultraviolet rays on a daily basis,and excessive ultraviolet radiation(UVR)can lead to sunburn erythema,tanning,photoaging,and skin tumors.The combination of Astragali Radix(AR)and Anemarrhenae Rhizoma(AAR)is a common pairing in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).According to earlier studies,they possess properties capable of alleviating the adverse impacts of UVR on the skin.However,the specific actions and underlying mechanisms require further investigation.The study aims to analyze the efficacy of AR-AAR in preventing UVR-induced skin damage and to clarify the associated molecular mechanisms.Methods:Potential signaling pathways by which AR and AAR may protect against UVR-induced skin damage were identified with network pharmacology,molecular docking techniques and molecular dynamics(MD)simulation.Except the normal group,the back skin of SD rats was exposed to 1.1 mW/cm^(2) UVA combined with 0.1 mW/cm^(2) UVB daily,and the UVR skin damage model was established.Morphological features of skin tissues of different groups were discovered through Hematoxylin and Eosin(HE)staining,Masson staining,Weigert staining.ELISA was utilized to measure the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),Interleukin 6(IL-6),Interleukin 1β(IL-1β)and Tumor necrosis factos-α(TNF-α)in skin tissues.RT-PCR and Western blot were employed to quantify the mRNA and protein contents of PI3K,AKT,and MMP-9.Results:Network pharmacology analysis predicts that AR-AAR may improve skin damage induced by UVR through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Histological staining shows that AR-AAR can significantly reduce inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis in damaged skin.Treatment with AR-AAR(2:1)significantly reduced the expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-αand ROS in UVR-damaged rat skin.After treatment with AR-AAR(2:1),not only did the relative mRNA expression levels of PI3K and AKT and the protein expression levels of PI3K,AKT,P-PI3K,and P-AKT increase,but the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-9 decreased.Conclusion:The study indicate that the AR-AAR combination and its active components may mitigate UVR skin damage by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

文摘This investigation utilizes non-equilibrium molecular dynamics(NEMD)simulations to explore shockinduced spallation in single-crystal tantalumacross shock velocities of 0.75–4 km/s and initial temperatures from300 to 2000 K.Two spallation modes emerge:classical spallation for shock velocity below 1.5 km/s,with solid-state reversible Body-Centered Cubic(BCC)to Face-Centered Cubic(FCC)orHexagonal Close-Packed(HCP)phase transformations and discrete void nucleation-coalescence;micro-spallation for shock velocity above 3.0 km/s,featuring complete shock-induced melting and fragmentation,with a transitional regime(2.0-2.5 km/s)of partial melting.Spall strength decreases monotonically with temperature due to thermal softening.Elevated temperatures delay void nucleation but increase density,expanding spall regions and enhancing structural disorder with reduced BCC recovery.For microspallation,melting exacerbates damage,causing smaller voids and intensified atomic ejection,which increases with temperature.Free surface velocity profiles indicate damage:in classical spallation,first drop marks nucleation,and pullback signals spall layers.In micro-spallation,the first drop is irrelevant,but remains valid.Temperature delays pullback signals and weakens Hugoniot Elastic Limit.This study clarifies temperature-shock coupling in Ta spallation,aiding failure prediction in high-temperature shock environments.

文摘The stator of the maglev track plays a crucial role in the operation of the maglev system.Currently,the efficiency of maglev track inspection is limited by several factors,including the large span of elevated structures,manual visual inspection,short inspection window times,and limited GPS positioning accuracy.To address these issues,this paper proposes a deep learning-based method for detecting and locating stator surface damage.This study establishes a maglev track stator surface image dataset,trains different object detection models,and compares their performance.Ultimately,YOLO and ByteTrack object tracking algorithms were chosen as the basic framework and enhanced to achieve automatic identification of high-speed maglev track stator surface damage images and track and count stator surface localization feature images.By matching the identified damaged images with their corresponding stator segment and beam segment sequence numbers,the location of the damage is pinpointed to the corresponding stator segment,enabling rapid and accurate identification and localization of complex damage to the maglev track stator surface.

文摘As the main component of the aircraft leading edge,the radome is often the first to be hit by raindrops and cause structural damage when passing through a rain field.Rain resistant coating is usually applied to ensure the performance protection requirements.In order to clarify the rain erosion damage mechanism of radome coating and explore the influencing factors and mechanisms of coating material damage under different jet impact conditions,impact tests were conducted on three types of skin coating samples,and the damage mode was observed through electron microscopy characterization.The experimental results show that the typical morphology of rain erosion damage is annular surface peeling damage.The damage area and volume of the three coating samples increase with the continuous increase of raindrop impact velocity.The threshold velocity for initial damage to the coating is about 360 m/s;under the influence of the velocity component,the reduction in impact angle leads to a gradual reduction in the degree of damage to the sample.ABAQUS finite element simulation software was used to establish a constitutive model for coating rain erosion simulation and obtain the propagation law of stress waves during the impact process.The simulation results show that at the 75°impact angle,the jet impacts the surface of the specimen at different velocities,and as the impact velocity increases,the Mises equivalent stress on the surface shows an increasing trend,which is one of the main factors causing damage with increasing velocity.The effectiveness,rain erosion damage mode,and influencing mechanism of the model were verified based on the test results;the dynamic failure mechanism of the sample was further studied,and the stress propagation process at different impact angles was compared,revealing the influence mechanism and damage law of the impact angle on the high-speed raindrop impact of the material.

文摘TiB_(2)coatings can significantly enhance the high-temperature oxidation resistance of molybdenum,which would broaden the application range of molybdenum and alloys thereof.However,traditional methods for preparing TiB_(2)coatings have disadvantages such as high equipment costs,complicated processes,and highly toxic gas emissions.This paper proposes an environmentally friendly method,which requires inexpensive equipment and simple processing,for preparing TiB_(2)coating on molybdenum via electrophoretic deposition within Na3AlF6-based molten salts.The produced TiB_(2)layer had an approximate thickness of 60μm and exhibited high density,outstanding hardness(38.2 GPa)and robust adhesion strength(51 N).Additionally,high-temperature oxidation experiments revealed that,at900℃,the TiB_(2)coating provided effective protection to the molybdenum substrate against oxidation for 3 h.This result indicates that the TiB_(2)coating prepared on molybdenum using molten salt electrophoretic deposition possesses good high-temperature oxidation resistance.

文摘Drilling and blasting tunneling is a cyclic process in which tunnel rock undergoes repeated blast loading,affecting its dynamic characteristics,energy evolution,and damage progression.To explore the dynamic mechanical properties and damage mechanisms of carbonaceous slate under cyclic impact loads of varying intensities,cyclic dynamic tests are conducted using a triaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar.This study analyzes the stress-strain relationship,energy damage evolution,and macro-to-micro failure characteristics.The results show that peak stress and strain are significantly influenced by impact intensity and the number of impacts.The initial dynamic stress is positively correlated with the impact intensity,but with more impact,the dynamic stress decreases while the peak strain increases.Energy evolution follows a pattern of"slow growthfluctuating growthrapid growth,"with the crack initiation stress and its proportion decreasing.CT and SEM analyses reveal that as the impact intensity increases,failure becomes more chaotic,the fracture volume increases,and the fracture mode shifts from interlayer and intergranular to through-layer and trans-granular fractures.These findings provide an experimental basis for soft rock tunnel stability analysis.

文摘Thermal-mechanical damage and deformation at the interface between shotcrete linings and the surrounding rock of tunnels under high-temperature and variable-temperature conditions are critical to the safe construction and operation of tunnel engineering.This study investigated the thermo-mechanical damage behavior of the composite interface between alkali-resistant glass fiber-reinforced concrete(ARGFRC)and granite,focusing on a plateau railway tunnel.Laboratory triaxial tests,laser scanning,XRD analysis,numerical simulations,and theoretical analyses were employed to investigate how different initial curing temperatures and joint roughness coefficient(JRC)influence interfacial damage behavior.The results indicate that an increase in interface roughness exacerbates the structural damage at the interface.At a JRC of 19.9 and a temperature of 70℃,crack initiation in granite was notably restrained when the confining pressure rose from 7 MPa to 10 MPa.Roughness-induced stress distribution at the interface was notably altered,although this effect became less pronounced under high confining pressure conditions.Additionally,during high-temperature curing,thermal stress concentration at the tips of micro-convex protrusions on the granite surface induced microcracks in the adjacent ARGFRC matrix,followed by deformation.These findings provide practical guidelines for designing concrete support systems to ensure tunnel structural safety in high-altitude regions with harsh thermal environments.

文摘Hydraulic asphalt concrete(HAC)has been increasingly employed as an appropriate impervious structure in hydraulic and hydropower engineering.However,asphalt mortar,usually seen as the matrix of HAC composite,is particularly prone to damage under combined stress and seepage interactions,and the mesoscale investigations on the damage-seepage coupling behavior of HAC under complex stress states remain limited.This research develops a numerical three-dimensional mesoscale model composed of asphalt mortar and polyhedral aggregate to investigate the stress-damage-seepage coupling behavior in HAC.In this model,asphalt mortar yields the viscoelastic continuum damage law and aggregate obeys the Mazars’elastic-brittle damage law;simultaneously,the effective permeability coefficient of asphalt mortar is assumed to follow an exponential function of damage.The predicted deviatoric stress-strain and hydraulic gradient-seepage curves both are in good agreement with the reported experimental results,which shows the proposed model is valid and reasonable.The simulated results indicate that the damaged asphalt mortar can induce localized areas of high permeability,which in turn affects the overall impervious performance of HAC.

文摘Understanding the deterioration behaviors and mechanisms of rocks under thermo-hydromechanical(THM)interactions is crucial for mitigating slope instability.In this study,the physicomechanical properties of silty mudstone subjected to THM interactions were investigated by triaxial tests.The underlying micro-mechanisms were revealed using microscopic tests.The triaxial test results indicate that the strength parameters of silty mudstone decrease by 89.50%(deformation modulus),78.15%(peak strength),70.58%(cohesion),and 48.65%(friction angle)under 16 THM cycles,a load of 300 kPa,and alternating between 0℃water immersion and 60℃drying.The SEM test results indicate that the deterioration of silty mudstone strength primarily results from hydrothermal-expansion softening and cracking driven by the TLHM interactions.The specimens manifest shear failure under confining pressure exceeding 140 kPa.Furthermore,a new constitutive model considering hydrothermalexpansion strain and non-linear deformation characteristics was developed.The discrepancy between the experimentally measured peak strength and the damage constitutive model prediction remains below 5%.The proposed model is verified to be in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.The self-designed THM apparatus overcomes the limitations of traditional investigations,enabling simultaneous consideration of thermal,hydraulic,and mechanical interactions.

文摘Investigating the damage evolution of surrounding rock under thermal shock cycles is crucial for ensuring the stability of engineering rock masses.This study performed Brazilian splitting tests on granite specimens under varying temperature and cycle conditions,employing acoustic emission monitoring,digital image correlation,and three-dimensional scanning technology.A systematic analysis was conducted on the patterns of damage evolution,failure precursor,and response mechanisms under combined thermal and cyclic loading.Experimental results show that both P-wave velocity and tensile strength degrade significantly with increasing temperature and cycle count,with temperature having a more pronounced effect than cycle count.Notably,damage evolution exhibits a dual-threshold behavior in which degradation accelerates markedly above 400℃ and stabilizes after 5 thermal cycles.Fracture surfaces evolve from initially planar to rugged morphologies,with peak-valley height differences at 600℃ being approximately three times greater than those at 200℃.Furthermore,based on acoustic emission energy entropy analysis,we introduce a novel failure precursor indicator where the sustained increase and critical surge in average entropy serve as reliable early-warning signals for impending rock failure.These findings establish a solid theoretical basis and practical methodology for damage assessment and instability early-warning systems in high-temperature rock engineering.
