The evolution damage is analyzed in terms of the experimental results, and close attention is paid to the effect of damage evolution on Poisson＇s ratio. This study shows that Poisson＇s ratio is significantly affected by the concentration of solution and water-cement ratio. Poisson＇s ratio of concrete changes very little when the water-cement ratio is selected as 0.6 or 0.8, so that such change may be neglected. If water-cement is 0.4, however, the Poisson＇s ratio of the sample significantly changes. When the concrete sample of 0.4 water-cement ratio is immersed in sodium sulfate solution of 8% concentration for 285 days, Poisson＇s ratio increase 10.14% compared with its initial value. There exist a sensitive region and a non-sensitive region for the change rate of Poisson＇s ratio with respect to corrosion time. The change rate of Poisson＇s ratio monotonously decreases with corrosion time in the sensitive region; in the non-sensitive region, the change rate of Poisson＇s ratio is almost equal to zero.展开更多

Understanding of the damage evolution behavior in brittle rocks during loading and unloading is imperative for the designs of rock structures. In this paper, we investigate the damage evolution characteristics of a granitic rock during loading and unloading after a series of triaxial experiments performed at different confining pressures. The axial stress-axial strain variations of the tested specimens revealed that the specimens undergoing unloading fail with a lower axial strain compared to the specimens failed purely by loading. Higher confining pressures were observed to exacerbate the difference. Volumetric strain versus axial strain curves indicated that the curves reverse the trend with the beginning of major damage of specimens. We suggest here a new form of equation to describe the secant modulus variation of brittle rocks against the axial stress for the unloading process. Failure mechanisms of tested specimens showed two distinct patterns, namely, specimens under pure loading failed with a single distinct shear fracture while for the unloading case specimens displayed multiple intersecting fractures. In addition, analysis of the evolution of dissipation and elastic energy during deformation of the specimens under loading and unloading conditions showed differentiable characteristics. Moreover, we evaluated the variations of two damage indices defined based on the energy dissipation and secant modulus evolution during deformation and observed that both of them satisfactorily distinguish key stages of damage evolution.展开更多

文摘Evaluation of damage evolution effects in biodegradable pure Mg was carried out,using transmission electron microscope as surrogate irradiation for high-energy radionuclide β decay in Brachytherapy.Time-dependent quantitative defect production,evolution dynamics,and evolution statistics were revealed in-situ for two prism foils(z=[1.210],[10.10]),in as-received and heat-treated pure Mg,after 300 keV electron irradiation up to 0.468 dpa at R.T.Preferred nucleation of basal-plane interstitial-type 1/6<20.23>loops was confirmed,in addition to a small portion of prism-plane 1/3<11.20>loops.No cavities were found.A higher yield of point defect concentration and a more evident trend of defect coarsening were identified in[1.210]than in[10.10].Pre-existing dislocations(on the orders of 10^(13)−10^(14) m^(−2))in pure Mg resulted in a delay of the first occurrence of visible defects.Defect migration and elastic interactions governed the microstructural evolution of electron irradiation damage in pure Mg,giving rise to events of loop coalescence,growth,and sometimes rotation of habit plane.The influence of incident electron energy can be correlated to the rates of point defect production,and is quantifiable;however,interfered by defect cluster stability,defect mobility,and defect interactions.This forms an important theoretical basis for the application of Mg subjected to MeV-level β-decay radiation in Brachytherapy.The paper concludes with a brief comparison between Mg and conventional Ti casing,outlines the advantages and challenges,and provides reference points for the validation of Mg/Mg-alloys in Brachytherapy seed application.

文摘Based on MTS Landmark 370.50 rock dynamic and static load fatigue test system and acoustic emission(AE)monitoring method,the damage characteristics and energy evolution law of high static load coal-rock combination(CRC)under the influence of dynamic load parameters were studied.The main results are as follows:1)Dynamic load increases the rheological properties and damage fracture development of CRC.With the increase of the amplitude and frequency of the dynamic load,the number of dynamic load cycles required for the failure of the CRC decreases,the irreversible strain increases,and the failure of sample accelerates;2)The AE positioning events during the loading process of the specimen decrease with the increase of the dynamic load amplitude,and increase with the increase of the dynamic load frequency;3)The fractal dimension,total energy and cumulative elastic energy of the broken particles of the CRC increase with the increase of the amplitude and frequency of the dynamic load.The fractal dimension corresponding to the increase of the dynamic load frequency is larger,and the energy and cumulative elastic energy corresponding to the increase of the dynamic load amplitude are larger.

文摘Rocks will suffer different degree of damage under freeze-thaw(FT)cycles,which seriously threatens the long-term stability of rock engineering in cold regions.In order to study the mechanism of rock FT damage,energy calculation method and energy self-inhibition model are introduced to explore their energy characteristics in this paper.The applicability of the energy self-inhibition model was verified by combining the data of FT cycles and uniaxial compression tests of intact and pre-cracked sandstone samples,as well as published reference data.In addition,the energy evolution characteristics of FT damaged rocks were discussed accordingly.The results indicate that the energy self-inhibition model perfectly characterizes the energy accumulation characteristics of FT damaged rocks under uniaxial compression before the peak strength and the energy dissipation characteristics before microcrack unstable growth stage.Taking the FT damaged cyan sandstone sample as an example,it has gone through two stages dominated by energy dissipation mechanism and energy accumulation mechanism,and the energy rate curve of the pre-cracked sample shows a fall-rise phenomenon when approaching failure.Based on the published reference data,it was found that the peak total input energy and energy storage limit conform to an exponential FT decay model,with corresponding decay constants ranging from 0.0021 to 0.1370 and 0.0018 to 0.1945,respectively.Finally,a linear energy storage equation for FT damaged rocks was proposed,and its high reliability and applicability were verified by combining published reference data,the energy storage coefficient of different types of rocks ranged from 0.823 to 0.992,showing a negative exponential relationship with the initial UCS(uniaxial compressive strength).In summary,the mechanism by which FT weakens the mechanical properties of rocks has been revealed from an energy perspective in this paper,which can provide reference for related issues in cold regions.

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Accurate assessment of coal brittleness is crucial in the design of coal seam drilling and underground coal mining operations.This study proposes a method for evaluating the brittleness of gas-bearing coal based on a statistical damage constitutive model and energy evolution mechanisms.Initially,integrating the principle of effective stress and the Hoek-Brown criterion,a statistical damage constitutive model for gas-bearing coal is established and validated through triaxial compression tests under different gas pressures to verify its accuracy and applicability.Subsequently,employing energy evolution mechanism,two energy characteristic parameters(elastic energy proportion and dissipated energy proportion)are analyzed.Based on the damage stress thresholds,the damage evolution characteristics of gas bearing coal were explored.Finally,by integrating energy characteristic parameters with damage parameters,a novel brittleness index is proposed.The results demonstrate that the theoretical curves derived from the statistical damage constitutive model closely align with the test curves,accurately reflecting the stress−strain characteristics of gas-bearing coal and revealing the stress drop and softening characteristics of coal in the post-peak stage.The shape parameter and scale parameter represent the brittleness and macroscopic strength of the coal,respectively.As gas pressure increases from 1 to 5 MPa,the shape parameter and the scale parameter decrease by 22.18%and 60.45%,respectively,indicating a reduction in both brittleness and strength of the coal.Parameters such as maximum damage rate and peak elastic energy storage limit positively correlate with coal brittleness.The brittleness index effectively captures the brittleness characteristics and reveals a decrease in brittleness and an increase in sensitivity to plastic deformation under higher gas pressure conditions.

文摘To address the issue of extreme thermal-induced arching in CRTS II slab tracks due to joint damage,an optimized joint repair model was proposed.First,the formula for calculating the safe temperature rise of the track was derived based on the principle of stationary potential energy.Considering interlayer evolution and structural crack propagation,an optimized joint repair model for the track was established and validated.Subsequently,the impact of joint repair on track damage and arch stability under extreme temperatures was studied,and a comprehensive evaluation of the feasibility of joint repair and the evolution of damage after repair was conducted.The results show that after the joint repair,the temperature rise of the initial damage of the track structure can be increased by 11℃.Under the most unfavorable heating load with a superimposed temperature gradient,the maximum stiffness degradation index SDEG in the track structure is reduced by about 81.16%following joint repair.The joint repair process could effectively reduce the deformation of the slab arching under high temperatures,resulting in a reduction of 93.96%in upward arching deformation.After repair,with the damage to interfacing shear strength,the track arch increases by 2.616 mm.

文摘Gas storage in abandoned mines is one way to reuse waste space resources.The surrounding rock of gas storage reservoirs in underground roadways undergoes damage and deformation under the cyclic loading of gas charging and discharging,which can pose a risk to the safety of the reservoirs.This study establishes a true triaxial numerical model of rock mass with the discrete element method(DEM)and explores the crack evolution of surrounding rock of underground gas storage during cyclic loading and unloading.Also,a damage evolution model in numerical analysis considering residual deformation is developed to explain the experimental results.As was revealed,cyclic loading and unloading resulted in fatigue damage in the specimen and caused strength deterioration of the specimen.During the loading process,the uniformly distributed force chains of the rock mass redistributed,evolving gradually to mostly transverse force chains.This contributed to the appearance of blank areas in the force chains when through cracks appear.The ratio of tensile cracks to shear cracks gradually decreases and finally stabilizes at 7:1.The damage evolution model considering residual strain can be mutually verified with the numerical simulation results.Based on the DEM model,it was found that there was a certain threshold of confining pressure.When the confining pressure exceeded 30 MPa,the deformation to ductility of sandstone samples began to accelerate,with a greater residual strength.This study provides a theoretical basis for analyzing the long-term mechanical behavior of surrounding rock of gas storage in abandoned mines.

文摘In the present paper,a hierarchical multi-scale method is developed for the nonlinear analysis of composite materials undergoing heterogeneity and damage.Starting from the homogenization theory,the energy equivalence between scales is developed.Then accompanied with the energy based damage model,the multi-scale damage evolutions are resolved by homogenizing the energy scalar over the meso-cell.The macroscopic behaviors described by the multi-scale damage evolutions represent the mesoscopic heterogeneity and damage of the composites.A rather simple structure made from particle reinforced composite materials is developed as a numerical example.The agreement between the fullscale simulating results and the multi-scale simulating results demonstrates the capacity of the proposed model to simulate nonlinear behaviors of quasi-brittle composite materials within the multi-scale framework.

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The damage evolution of polycrystalline Al with helium(He)bubbles under strongly decaying shock waves is studied by molecular dynamics simulations.A new damage region is observed near the loading side of the sample,and the evolution characteristics and underlying mechanisms are elucidated.The development of damage in the new damage region begins after complete unloading of the incident shock wave and is further enhanced when the tensile stress arrives later.The damage evolution is completely controlled by the expansion-merging of He bubbles,without nucleation–growth of voids.This new damage region can be divided into two sections,each of which exhibits a unique dominant mechanism.The damage in the section closer to the loading side is due to the reverse velocity gradient formed after complete unloading of the incident shock wave,depending on the rate of decrease and the amplitude of the initial peak pressure.A high initial peak pressure that can lead to melting of material near the loading side is a necessary condition for the formation of the new damage region,since a significant reverse velocity gradient can only be established if melting occurs.The dominant mechanism in the section distant from the loading side is the action of tensile stress,associated with the profile of the incident shock wave upon reaching the free surface,which determines the material phase near the free surface.Moreover,the presence of He bubbles is another critical factor for formation of the new damage region,which does not occur in pure Al samples.

文摘Experimental results about concrete under sulfate attack are summarized, which include the variation of mass density of samples and velocity of ultrasonic wave propagating in samples. The evolution damage is analyzed in terms of the experimental results, and close attention is paid to the effect of damage evolution on Poisson＇s ratio. This study shows that Poisson＇s ratio is significantly affected by the concentration of solution and water-cement ratio. Poisson＇s ratio of concrete changes very little when the water-cement ratio is selected as 0.6 or 0.8, so that such change may be neglected. If water-cement is 0.4, however, the Poisson＇s ratio of the sample significantly changes. When the concrete sample of 0.4 water-cement ratio is immersed in sodium sulfate solution of 8% concentration for 285 days, Poisson＇s ratio increase 10.14% compared with its initial value. There exist a sensitive region and a non-sensitive region for the change rate of Poisson＇s ratio with respect to corrosion time. The change rate of Poisson＇s ratio monotonously decreases with corrosion time in the sensitive region; in the non-sensitive region, the change rate of Poisson＇s ratio is almost equal to zero.

文摘A closed,trans-scale formulation of damage evolution based on the statistical mi- crodamage mechanics is summarized in this paper.The dynamic function of damage bridges the mesoscopic and macroscopic evolution of damage.The spallation in an aluminium plate is studied with this formulation.It is found that the damage evolution is governed by several dimensionless parameters, i.e.,imposed Deborah numbers De~* and De,Mach number M and damage number S.In particular, the most critical mode of the macroscopic damage evolution,i.e.,the damage localization,is deter- mined by Deborah number De~*.Deborah number De~* reflects the coupling and competition between the macroscopic loading and the microdamage growth.Therefore,our results reveal the multi-scale nature of spallation.In fact,the damage localization results from the nonlinearity of the microdamage growth.In addition,the dependence of the damage rate on imposed Deborah numbers De~* and De, Mach number M and damage number S is discussed.

文摘In-situ rock failures can result from stress changes due to pure loading and/or unloading. Understanding of the damage evolution behavior in brittle rocks during loading and unloading is imperative for the designs of rock structures. In this paper, we investigate the damage evolution characteristics of a granitic rock during loading and unloading after a series of triaxial experiments performed at different confining pressures. The axial stress-axial strain variations of the tested specimens revealed that the specimens undergoing unloading fail with a lower axial strain compared to the specimens failed purely by loading. Higher confining pressures were observed to exacerbate the difference. Volumetric strain versus axial strain curves indicated that the curves reverse the trend with the beginning of major damage of specimens. We suggest here a new form of equation to describe the secant modulus variation of brittle rocks against the axial stress for the unloading process. Failure mechanisms of tested specimens showed two distinct patterns, namely, specimens under pure loading failed with a single distinct shear fracture while for the unloading case specimens displayed multiple intersecting fractures. In addition, analysis of the evolution of dissipation and elastic energy during deformation of the specimens under loading and unloading conditions showed differentiable characteristics. Moreover, we evaluated the variations of two damage indices defined based on the energy dissipation and secant modulus evolution during deformation and observed that both of them satisfactorily distinguish key stages of damage evolution.
