An improved passive confining pressure SHPB method was used to study the dynamic mechanical behaviors of asphalt concrete under quasi-one dimensional strain state. The effect of confining jacket material and its geometrical sizes on the confining pressure were discussed. The dynamic strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity and dynamic Poisson ratio of asphalt concrete were obtained. The influential rules of confining pressure on the dynamic properties were studied by comparing the stress-strain curves of asphalt concrete under different stress states. The study found that passive confining greater impact on the strength of asphalt concrete than elastic modulus and Poisson ratio, but the elastic modulus improved with the increase of confining pressure.

A series of multistage triaxial compression, creep, and stress relaxation tests were conducted on frozen loess at the temperature of −6℃ in order to study the damage evolution and recrystallization enhancement of mechanical properties during deformation process. The effect of strain rate, confining pressure, and hydrostatic stress history in the degradation laws of mechanical properties is investigated further. The strain rate has a significant influence on the stress–strain curve which dominates the evolution trend of mechanical properties. The mechanical behaviors (strength, stiffness, and viscosity) of frozen loess all exhibit evident response for the consolidation and pressure melting phenomenon caused by the confining pressure. The multistage loading tests under different hydrostatic stresses are capable of differentiating the development characteristics of mechanical properties during axial loading and hydrostatic compression process, respectively. The testing results indicated that the recrystallization of the ice particle in the frozen soils is an important microscopic factor for enhancement behaviors of mechanical parameters during the deformation process. This strengthening degree of mechanical properties is determined by temperature, duration time, deformation degree, and stress state during the recrystallization process. The phase transformation led by pressure melting and ice recrystallization is a nonnegligible changing pattern of frozen soils microstructure, which has apparent role in the damage evolution of mechanical properties.

Creep Stage

Fluid flow and fluid-rock interaction mainly take place in fracture network, consequently resulting in deformation and permeability variation of rock and deterioration of the wellbore performance. Mechanical-reactive flow coupling creep tests are performed on cracked granite under various confining pressures and acid and alkaline solution flows. The testing results show that the confining pressure and solution pH significantly influence the creep deformation, creep strain rate, and permeability. A primary creep stage and secondary creep stage are observed in all creep tests in this study; notably, the sample under a confining pressure of 10 MPa and acid solution injection undergoes creep failure for over 2700 hours. The acid solution has a more obvious influence on the creep behavior than that of the alkaline solution. With an increase in confining pressure, the total creep strain and creep strain rate in the samples gradually decrease during the injection of either solution. The permeability of the samples injected with either solution gradually deceases during the testing process, and this deceasing rate increases with the confining pressure. The scanning electron microscopy observations on the crack surfaces after the creep tests show that the surfaces of the fractures injected with the acid solution are smooth due to the dissolution of the matrix, while those injected with the alkaline solution include voids due to the dissolution of quartz. These experimental results could improve the understanding of the long-term transport and mechanical behaviors of wellbore.

Unloading Effect

Shale reservoir has an initial unloading effect during the natural uplift and erosion process, which causes the shale brittleness to change, affecting the design of the fracturing scheme. To consider this, the axial compression loading and confining pressure unloading experiment of shale is carried out, and then the influence of unloading rate on the mechanical parameters, failure characteristics, and the brittleness of rock are analyzed. What is more, a new evaluation method of brittleness characteristics that take the unloading effect into consideration is proposed. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The unloading rate has a weakening effect on the mechanical parameters, such as the destructive confining pressure and the residual strength of the samples. (2) The failure characteristics of shale specimens are a single shear failure in an oblique section under low unloading rate, and multiple shear zones accompanied with bedding fracture under high unloading rate. (3) The brittleness of shale samples is well verified by the brittleness index B d 1 and B d 2 during the loading path; nevertheless, it has shortage at the unloading path. This paper proposes a new brittleness evaluation method which can consider the influence of the different unloading rates and unloading points. Furthermore, there is a nice characterization between the brittleness damage and this method.

The quasi-static and dynamic compressive mechanical behaviors of two kinds of fiber reinforced SiC-matrix composites including 2D-C/SiC and 2D-SiC/SiC were investigated. Their compressive behaviors of materials at room temperature and strain rate from 10-4 to 104 /s were studied. The fracture surfaces and damage morphology were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the dynamic failure strengths of the two kinds of fiber reinforced SiC-matrix composites obey the Weibull distribution. The Weibull modulus of the two materials were 13.70 (2D-C/SiC) and 5.66 (2D-SiC/SiC), respectively. It was found that the two kinds of fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites presented a transition from brittle to tough with the decrease of strain rate. The 2D-SiC/SiC materials demonstrated a more HYPERLINK "http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e6%98%be%e8%91%97%e7%9a%84&tjType=sentence&style=&t=remarkable"significant strain rate sensitivity and smoother fracture surface compared to the 2D-C/SiC composites, implying that the former composites present brittle features. This was because the SiC/SiC composites possessed high bonding strength in interface of fiber/fiber and fiber/matrix is very strong.
