The special case of an infinitesimally small plastic zone is discussed and compared with Nonaka's solution for a rigid, perfectly plastic material. The results can also be generalized to examine the dynamic response of fibre-reinforced beams.展开更多

Shear fracture is widely developed in surrounding rock mass of deep engineering. Nevertheless, the correlation between radon release and the shear fracture is undefined. In this study, the intact Jinping marble and Baihetan basalt were adopted as samples. Based on radionuclide content analysis, the intrinsic characteristics of radon emission were analyzed. Then a direct shear testing system was designed to synchronously measure radon release during rock fracture. The direct shear tests were carried out under different normal stresses. The relationship between shear fracture process and cumulative radon concentration was explored. The results indicated that radon release varied with the increase of shear displacement under the same normal stress. The general pattern showed a slight increase and fell in the initial loading phase, then increased rapidly to the peak release approximately corresponding to the peak of shear stress, and finally decreased to a stable level with the development of shear displacement after sample failure. The initial and peak radon concentrations increased linearly with the increase of normal stress. The same trend was found in shear failure surface area and cumulative radon concentration according to the rise angle(RA) value-average frequency(AF) distribution.展开更多

Both the denting and the impact point are in the middle span of the beam. It is assumed that denting does not spread during the shear sliding. Numerical results show that the axial force and lateral deflection of the beam are very small at the moment of the occurence of shear failure, which means that the finite deformation effect can be neglected in the shear failure analysis. Also, some aspects of the initial impact energy are investigated.展开更多

Effect of pin rotating speed on cross section morphologies and lap shear strength of the SSFSLW joints were mainly discussed. Results show that joints without flash and shoulder marks can be obtained by the stationary shoulder. Cross section of the SSFSLW joint presents a basin-like morphology and little material loss. By increasing the rotating speed from 1 000 rpm to 1 600 rpm, both effective sheet thickness and lap width increase, while lap shear failure load firstly decreases and then increases. The maximum failure load of 14. 05 kN /s attained when 1 000 rpm is used. All SSFSLW joints present shear fracture mode.展开更多

The conducted experimental investigations have shown that beams without web reinforcement may fail without attaining their full flexural capacity and then shear governs their failure. In the paper, there are presented recent results of the author＇s own experiments, which aimed at disclosing some aspects of the propagation of cracks in longitudinally reinforced concrete beams without stirrups. The experimental program has been designed especially to investigate the influence of the shear span-to-depth ratio on diagonal crack propagation and load carrying capacity of tested beams.展开更多

Nevertheless, the correlation between radon release and the shear fracture is undefined. In this study, the intact Jinping marble and Baihetan basalt were adopted as samples. Based on radionuclide content analysis, the intrinsic characteristics of radon emission were analyzed. Then a direct shear testing system was designed to synchronously measure radon release during rock fracture. The direct shear tests were carried out under different normal stresses. The relationship between shear fracture process and cumulative radon concentration was explored. The results indicated that radon release varied with the increase of shear displacement under the same normal stress. The general pattern showed a slight increase and fell in the initial loading phase, then increased rapidly to the peak release approximately corresponding to the peak of shear stress, and finally decreased to a stable level with the development of shear displacement after sample failure. The initial and peak radon concentrations increased linearly with the increase of normal stress. The same trend was found in shear failure surface area and cumulative radon concentration according to the rise angle(RA) value-average frequency(AF) distribution.
文摘The shear behavior of backfill-rock composites is crucial for mine safety and the management of surface subsidence.For exposing the shear failure mechanism of backfill-rock composites,we conducted shear tests on backfill-rock composites under three constant normal loads,compared with the unfilled rock.To investigate the macro-and meso-failure characteristics of the samples in the shear tests,the cracking behavior of samples was recorded by a high-speed camera and acoustic emission monitoring.In parallel with the experimental test,the numerical models of backfill-rock composites and unfilled rock were established using the discrete element method to analyze the continuous-discontinuous shearing process.Based on the damage mechanics and statistics,a novel shear constitutive model was proposed to describe mechanical behavior.The results show that backfill-rock composites had a special bimodal phenomenon of shearing load-deformation curve,i.e.the first shearing peak corresponded to rock break and the second shearing peak induced by the broken of aeolian sand-cement/fly ash paste backfill.Moreover,the shearing characteristic curves of the backfill-rock composites could be roughly divided into four stages,i.e.the shear failure of the specimens experienced:stage I:stress concentration;stage II:crack propagation;stage III:crack coalescence;stage IV:shearing friction.The numerical simulation shows that the existence of aeolian sand-cement/fly ash paste backfill inevitably altered the coalescence type and failure mode of the specimens and had a strengthening effect on the shear strength of backfillrock composites.Based on damage mechanics and statistics,a shear constitutive model was proposed to describe the shear fracture characteristics of specimens,especially the bimodal phenomenon.Finally,the micro-and meso-mechanisms of shear failure were discussed by combining the micro-test and numerical results.The research can advance the better understanding of the shear behavior of backfill-rock composites and contribute to the safety of mining engineering.
文摘The shear failure of a rigid-plastic dented clamped tubular beam under the lateral impact of a mass is investigated. Both the denting and the impact point are in the middle span of the beam. It is assumed that denting does not spread during the shear sliding. Numerical results show that the axial force and lateral deflection of the beam are very small at the moment of the occurence of shear failure, which means that the finite deformation effect can be neglected in the shear failure analysis. Also, some aspects of the initial impact energy are investigated.

文摘The forming limit diagram plays an important role in predicting the forming limit of sheet metals.Previous studies have shown that,the method to construct the forming limit diagram based on instability theory of the original shear failure criterion is efective and simple.The original shear instability criterion can accurately predict the left area of the forming limit diagram but not the right area.In this study,in order to improve the accuracy of the original shear failure criterion,a modifed shear failure criterion was proposed based on in-depth analysis of the original shear failure criterion.The detailed improvement strategies of the shear failure criterion and the complete calculation process are given.Based on the modifed shear failure criterion and diferent constitutive equations,the theoretical forming limit of TRIP780 steel and 5754O aluminum alloy sheet metals are calculated.By comparing the theoretical and experimental results,it is shown that proposed modifed shear failure criterion can predict the right area of forming limit more reasonably than the original shear failure criterion.The efect of the pre-strain and constitutive equation on the forming limits are also analyzed in depth.The modifed shear failure criterion proposed in this study provides an alternative and reliable method to predict forming limit of sheet metals.
文摘Starting friction would be induced and preserved somewhere along the seabed route of cased insulated flowlines（CIF） when the pipe carries service loads.The axial pipe-soil interaction can be divided into three pipe sections：the sliding section,the fixed section and the starting friction section.Although limited to a relatively small length of the pipe,the pipe coats of the starting friction section would suffer much higher shear force caused by thermal expansion than those of the sliding section or the fixed section.Based on the axial equilibrium equation of this kind of insulated pipeline,we developed a method for checking the shear force on CIF coats and their interfaces.The typical example shows that starting friction effect should be taken into account when checking the lap shear strength of heatshrinkable sleeves on CIF field joints.
文摘Stationary shoulder friction stir lap welding （SSFSLW） was successfully used to weld 6005A-T6 aluminum alloy in this paper. Effect of pin rotating speed on cross section morphologies and lap shear strength of the SSFSLW joints were mainly discussed. Results show that joints without flash and shoulder marks can be obtained by the stationary shoulder. Cross section of the SSFSLW joint presents a basin-like morphology and little material loss. By increasing the rotating speed from 1 000 rpm to 1 600 rpm, both effective sheet thickness and lap width increase, while lap shear failure load firstly decreases and then increases. The maximum failure load of 14. 05 kN /s attained when 1 000 rpm is used. All SSFSLW joints present shear fracture mode.

文摘Water content and primary fractures can change the mechanical characteristics of rock,making it easy to induce geological disasters.Therefore,direct shear tests of red sandstone under the action of water-fracture were carried out in this paper.The results show that shear strength of rock samples with fractures is less than that of intact rock samples.With the increase of primary fracture dip angle,shear strength and macroscopic crushing area of the rock sample increases first and then decreases with 20°as the boundary.It shows that the primary fractures weaken the shear mechanical properties and change the macroscopic failure mode.The shear performance of water-bearing rock samples is weaker than that of intact rock samples,and the weakening degree of water-saturated on shear performance of rock samples is lower than that of unsaturated water state.The fracture surfaces of rock samples are divided into‘shortest path single through type’,‘longest path single through type’and‘cross path through type’.The failured rock samples are divided into‘single through type’and‘cross through type’.The research results can provide reference for geological disaster management under relevant conditions.
文摘This paper deals with flexural concrete members reinforced longitudinally but without transverse reinforcement. The conducted experimental investigations have shown that beams without web reinforcement may fail without attaining their full flexural capacity and then shear governs their failure. In the paper, there are presented recent results of the author＇s own experiments, which aimed at disclosing some aspects of the propagation of cracks in longitudinally reinforced concrete beams without stirrups. The experimental program has been designed especially to investigate the influence of the shear span-to-depth ratio on diagonal crack propagation and load carrying capacity of tested beams.
文摘This paper investigates the mechanisms of rock failure related to axial splitting and shear failure due to hoop stresses in cylindrical specimens.The hoop stresses are caused by normal viscous stress.The rheological dynamics theory(RDT)is used,with the mechanical parameters being determined by P-and S-wave velocities.The angle of internal friction is determined by the ratio of Young's modulus and the dynamic modulus,while dynamic viscosity defines cohesion and normal viscous stress.The effect of frequency on cohesion is considered.The initial stress state is defined by the minimum cohesion at the elastic limit when axial splitting can occur.However,as radial cracks grow,the stress state becomes oblique and moves towards the shear plane.The maximum and nonlinear cohesions are defined by the rock parameters under compressive strength when the radial crack depth reaches a critical value.The efficacy and precision of RDT are validated through the presentation of ultrasonic measurements on sandstone and rock specimens sourced from the literature.The results presented in dimensionless diagrams can be utilized in microcrack zones in the absence of lateral pressure in rock masses that have undergone disintegration due to excavation.
文摘Purpose–This study aims to investigate the fatigue behavior and failure modes of bolted lap joints using Modified Tensile Specimens(MTS)under various cyclic load conditions.Emphasis is placed on identifying the relationship between load amplitude,fatigue life,and damage progression in low-carbon steel assemblies.Design/methodology/approach–An experimental approach was adopted using MTS specimens fabricated from St 1203 cold-rolled steel,joined with Grade 8.8 M4 bolts.Cyclic fatigue tests were conducted under zerobased loading at seven distinct force levels.Fracture surfaces were visually analyzed to identify dominant failure mechanisms.Findings–The results revealed a strong inverse correlation between applied cyclic load and fatigue life.Three distinct failure modes were identified:bolt shear at high loads(5.4 kN),interface cracking and slippage at moderate loads(4.9–5.1 kN),and plate tearing or stable fatigue behavior at lower loads(54.1 kN).The results highlight a progressive transition in failure mechanisms,from bolt shear at high loads to plate tearing and interface cracking at lower loads,providing essential insights for fatigue-resistant bolted joint design.Originality/value–This study offers original insights into the fatigue behavior of bolted lap joints using MTS,a relatively underexplored configuration in fatigue assessment.By experimentally evaluating failure modes under varied cyclic load levels,the authors uncover critical transitions in damage mechanisms—from bolt shear to interface cracking and plate tearing—depending on the applied load.Unlike many existing studies focused on numerical modeling or bonded joints alone,this work provides empirical data rooted in real-world fastening conditions using cold-rolled low-carbon steel.
基金Experimental Study on Seismic performance of ultra-high Performance Concrete Columns(Project No.:Yu Jiao Ke Fa[2024]No.4 KJQN202403808)。
文摘Medium shear span ratio reinforced columns are prone to complex failure under seismic action.This paper compares the seismic performance of normal concrete columns and UHPC columns by introducing ultra-high-performance concrete(UHPC).The shear span ratio(2.4-4.4)and axial compression ratio(0.10,0.36)were used as variables,and the bearing capacity,ductility and failure mode were analyzed through low-cycle reciprocating loading studys.The results showed that UHPC significantly improved the bearing capacity,stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of the column,and suppressed the crushing and spalling of concrete.When the shear span ratio is 2.4 and the axial compression ratio is 0.36,the failure mode of UHPC columns was changed from shear failure to flexural shear failure.Thus this study can become a reference for the seismic design of UHPC columns.

文摘The energy-driven progressive brittle shear failure of rock joints is a key mechanism behind deep engineering disasters such as joint-induced rockbursts and engineering earthquakes.To investigate the energy evolution mechanisms and disaster proneness,monotonic and stepwise loading-unloading tests were performed on regular dentate joints under constant normal stiffness boundary conditions.Results indicate a transition in damage mechanism from climbing wear of low-inclination asperities to brittle rupture of high-inclination ones,accompanied by a marked decrease in irreversible displacement.Energy analysis reveals a strong linear relationship between pre-peak elastic energy density and both input energy density and shear stress squared.The post-peak elastic energy release rate(η),and the self-sustaining instability coefficient(μ) increase with joint undulation.A dimensionless brittleness index(BI) integrating the complete energy conversion and release process was proposed to quantify the energy balanced budget.The highly undulated joint R_(4) showed the most pronounced brittleness and instability intensity,with the highest BI value of 0.697,along with η=0.774 and μ=0.611.This study provides deeper insight into the understanding of the disaster-inducing proneness and stability assessment in jointed rock mass.

文摘In this work,refill friction stir spot welding（RFSSW） was used to weld 2 mm-thick 5083-O alloy.The Box–Behnken experimental design was used to investigate the effect of welding parameters on the joint lap shear property.Results showed that a surface indentation of 0.3 mm effectively eliminated the welding defects.Microhardness of the stir zone（SZ） was higher than that of the base material（BM） and the hardness decreased with increasing the heat input during welding.The optimum failure load of 7.72 k N was obtained when using rotating speed of 2300 rpm,plunge depth of 2.4 mm and refilling time of 3.5 s.Three fracture modes were obtained during the lap shear test and all were affected by the hook defect.
