Uniaxial Compression Strength

Rocks containing pre-existing fissures in underground engineering are likely to be subjected to static pre-stress and dynamic loads simultaneously. Understanding the deformation and failure mechanism of fissured rocks under coupled static and dynamic strain rates is beneficial for the stability assessment of rock engineering structures. This study experimentally investigates the mechanical behaviors of fissured specimens under coupled static and dynamic loads with different loading parameters. Our experiments reveal that the coupled static–dynamic strain rates significantly affect the strength, deformation, energy characteristics, and failure mode of fissured specimens. For each dynamic strain rate, the strength and elastic modulus of specimens feature an increase first as the static pre-stress increases up to half of the uniaxial compression strength, and then a decrease. However, for each static pre-stress of coupled loads, the strength and elastic modulus increase noticeably with increasing dynamic strain rate. From the perspective of energy partition, for each static pre-stress, the higher dynamic strain rate induces greater energy dissipation of the specimens during the coupled loading, and more elastic energy is released at the end of loading. Moreover, for each dynamic strain rate, the pre-stress of half uniaxial compression strength induces the highest released elastic energy.

Strain Rate Dependency

The main focus of this paper is in evaluating four constitutive relations which model the strain rate dependency of polymers yield stress. Namely, the two-term power-law, the Ree-Eyring, the cooperative, and the newly modified-Eyring equations are used to fit tensile and compression yield stresses of polycarbonate, which are obtained from the literature. The four equations give good agreement with the experimental data. Despite using only three material constants, the modified-Eyring equation, which considers a strain rate-dependent activation volume, gives slightly worse fit than the three other equations. The two-term power-law and the cooperative equation predict a progressive increase in the strain rate sensitivity of the yield stress. Oppositely, the Ree-Eyring and the modified-Eyring equations show a clear transition between the low and high strain rate ranges. Namely, they predict a linear dependency of the yield stress in terms of the strain rate at the low strain rate range. Crossing a threshold strain rate, the yield stress sensitivity sharply increases as the strain rate increases. Hence, two different behaviors were observed though the four equations fit well the experimental data. More experimental data, mainly at the intermediate strain rate range, are needed to conclude which, of the two behaviors, is more appropriate for polymers.

Strain Rate Dependency

To characterize the effects of creep, strain rate, and relaxation in granular soils, different sands have been studied under oedometric loading. The tests were analysed in the framework of the isotache concept. The results show increasing creep rates with increasing vertical stresses and a strong reduction of the creep rate upon unloading. A lower void ratio leads to less creep. Evaluation of the ratio Cα/Cc, where Cα is the creep coefficient and Cc is the compression index, demonstrates considerable deviation from a constant soil-specific value for the sands. With increasing fine content, however, a constant soil-specific ratio has been found for a silty sand. In strain rate–controlled tests, a sand with low and a sand with significant content of nonplastic fines were compared. Constant rate of strain tests displayed practically no strain rate dependency for the sand with little fines and a well visible strain rate dependency for the very silty sand. Tests with stepwise change of strain rate showed non-isotache behaviour for the sand with little fines and isotache behaviour for the other. Stress-relaxation tests displayed an isochronous behaviour. The analysis of the three viscous effects in sands showed they cannot altogether be mathematically described in the framework of the isotache concept. A new compression model for the creep behaviour of sands is presented.
