Microcrack Propagation

The cracking of rock mass under compression is the main factor causing structural failure. Therefore, it is very crucial to establish a rock damage evolution model to investigate the crack development process and reveal the failure and instability mechanism of rock under load. In this study, four different strength types of rock samples from hard to weak were selected, and the Voronoi method was used to perform and analyze uniaxial compression tests and the fracture process. The change characteristics of the number, angle, and length of cracks in the process of rock failure and instability were obtained. Three laws of crack development, damage evolution, and energy evolution were analyzed. The main conclusions are as follows. (1) The rock’s initial damage is mainly caused by tensile cracks, and the rapid growth of shear cracks after exceeding the damage threshold indicates that the rock is about to be a failure. The development of micro-cracks is mainly concentrated on the diagonal of the rock sample and gradually expands to the middle along the two ends of the diagonal. (2) The identification point of failure precursor information in Acoustic Emission (AE) can effectively provide a safety warning for the development of rock fracture. (3) The uniaxial compression damage constitutive equation of the rock sample with the crack length as the parameter is established, which can better reflect the damage evolution characteristics of the rock sample. (4) Tensile crack requires low energy consumption and energy dispersion is not concentrated. The damage is not apparent. Shear cracks are concentrated and consume a large amount of energy, resulting in strong damage and making it easy to form macro-cracks.

Actual Damage

There are various definitions of damage variables from the existing damage models. The calculated damage value by the current methods still could not well correspond to the actual damage value. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a damage evolution model corresponding to the actual damage evolution. In this paper, a strain rate-sensitive isotropic damage model for plain concrete is proposed to describe its nonlinear behavior. Cyclic uniaxial compression tests were conducted on concrete samples at three strain rates of 10−3s−1, 10−4s−1, and 10−5s−1, respectively, and ultrasonic wave measurements were made at specified strain values during the loading progress. A damage variable was defined using the secant and initial moduli, and concrete damage evolution was then studied using the experimental results of the cyclic uniaxial compression tests conducted at the different strain rates. A viscoelastic stress-strain relationship, which considered the proposed damage evolution model, was presented according to the principles of irreversible thermodynamics. The model results agreed well with the experiment and indicated that the proposed damage evolution model can accurately characterize the development of macroscopic mechanical weakening of concrete. A damage-coupled viscoelastic constitutive relationship of concrete was recommended. It was concluded that the model could not only characterize the stress-strain response of materials under one-dimensional compressive load but also truly reflect the degradation law of the macromechanical properties of materials. The proposed damage model will advance the understanding of the failure process of concrete materials.

Damage Degree

The deformation and failure of coal and rock materials is the primary cause of many engineering disasters. How to accurately and effectively monitor and forecast the damage evolution process of coal and rock mass, and form a set of prediction methods and prediction indicators is an urgent engineering problems to be solved in the field of rock mechanics and engineering. As a form of energy dissipation in the deformation process of coal and rock, microseismic (MS) can indirectly reflect the damage of coal and rock. In order to analyze the relationship between the damage degree of coal and rock and time-frequency characteristics of MS, the deformation and fracture process of coal and rock materials under different loading modes was tested. The time-frequency characteristics and generation mechanism of MS were analyzed under different loading stages. Meanwhile, the influences of properties of coal and rock materials on MS signals were studied. Results show that there is an evident mode cutoff point between high-frequency and low-frequency MS signals. The properties of coal and rock, such as the development degree of the original fracture, particle size and dense degree have a decisive influence on the amplitude, frequency, energy and other characteristic parameters of MS signals. The change of MS parameters is closely related to material damage, but has no strong relation with the loading rate. The richness of MS signals before the main fracture depends on the homogeneity of materials. With the increase of damage, the energy release rate increases, which can lead to the widening of MS signals spectrum. The stiffness and natural frequency of specimens decreases correspondingly. Meanwhile, the main reason that the dominant frequency of MS detected by sensors installed on the surface of coal and rock materials is mainly low-frequency is friction loss and the resonance effect. In addition, the spectrum and energy evolution of MS can be used as a characterization method of the damage degree of coal and rock materials. Furthermore, the results can provide important reference for prediction and early warning of some rock engineering disasters.

The Relationship

In order to describe resistivity variation regularities during the process of damage evolution of loading coal mass more comprehensively and accurately, electrical resistivity and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of coal mass were tested by 3532-50 LCR tester and AMSY-6 AE data acquisition system under the condition of multi-stage loading, and resistivity variation characteristics were analyzed with stress changing. The damage evolution process of coal mass was studied by the measurement of the AE parameters, and the resistivity curve was obtained in the damage conditions based on the relationship between the AE damage variable and the resistivity. The results show that resistivity and stress curves of coal mass have a good correspondence during the multi-stage loading, and the resistivity shows a trend of fluctuating downward with the increasing of stress. The resistivity increases sharply to the maximum value when the load increases to the ultimate compressive strength of specimens. AE information can reveal effectively damage evolution process of microcracks formation, expansion and fracture in coal mass under external force, and during multi-stage loading, the cumulative AE ringing counts curve of coal mass have three different types of growth trends: stable stage, sudden change stage, gradual increasing stage. Meanwhile, the relationship between resistivity and AE damage variable is established based on the formula of damage variable under uniaxial compression and combined with continuous damage mechanics, and its rationality is verified.
