Abstract To research the dynamic response characteristics of coal mass under impact loads, based on LS-DYNA software, rigid body bars are simulated to impact coal mass under different speed conditions, and the dynamic distribution characteristics of the stress, strain and energy of coal mass are analyzed. The results demonstrate that (1) the peaks of the axial and radial stresses and strain on the central axis and the radial line obey the power function distribution; at the same position, the axial and the radial stress peaks are close, and the axial strain peak is from much larger than the radial strain peak to close to. (2) The axial and radial stresses generate tensile stresses in the axial and radial propagation directions, respectively, and the coal mass is prone to damage under tensile stress. (3) When the speed is large, the axial stress–strain curve is similar to that of the dynamic load experiment. The axial stress peak, axial strain peak, critical effective stress, critical time and secant modulus have a linear relationship with the velocity. (4) When the dynamic load is large, most of the energy is in the form of kinetic energy, and the total energy loss also increases.

Abstract Combined-stress tests were made on five 24S-T aluminum-alloy tubes, 1 3/4 in. ID × 0.05 in. thick. The ratios of circumferential (hoop) stress to axial stress were 0, 1/2, 1, 2, and ∞. The tubes were tested to failure and sufficient measurements of circumferential strain and axial strain were taken to plot stress-strain curves almost up to rupture. The results are presented in the form of two sets of stress-strain curves for each ratio of stresses, namely, maximum shearing stress plotted against maximum shearing strain, and octahedral shearing stress plotted against octahedral shearing strain. In each plot the maximum deviation of the curves is about ± 5 per cent. A method of evaluating small octahedral shearing strains from the data is given which does not assume Poisson’s ratio to be 1/2.

It is well established that lateral confinement of concrete enhances its axial strength and deformability. It is often assumed that, at a same level of confining pressure, the axial compressive stress and strain of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete at a given lateral strain are the same as those in concrete actively confined concrete. To assess the validity of this assumption, an experimental program relating both types of confinement systems was conducted. 25 FRP-confined and actively confined high-strength concrete (HSC) specimens cast from a same batch of concrete were tested under axial compression. The axial stress-strain and lateral strain-axial strain curves obtained from the two different confinement systems were assessed. The results indicate that, at a given axial strain, lateral strains of actively confined and FRP-confined concretes correspond, when they are subjected to the same lateral confining pressure. However, it is observed that, at these points of intersections on axial strain-lateral strain curves, FRP-confined concrete exhibits a lower axial stress than the actively confined concrete, indicating that the aforementioned assumption is not accurate. The test results indicate that the difference in the axial stresses of FRP-confined and actively confined HSC becomes more significant with an increase in the level of confining pressure.

This paper reports on an experimental investigation on the influence of FRP-to-concrete interface gap, caused by concrete shrinkage, on axial compressive behavior of concrete-filled FRP tube (CFFT) columns. A total of 12 aramid FRP (AFRP)-confined concrete specimens with circular cross-sections were manufactured. 3 of these specimens were instrumented to monitor long term shrinkage strain development and the remaining 9 were tested under monotonic axial compression. The influence of concrete shrinkage was examined by applying a gap of up to 0.06 mm thickness at the FRP-to-concrete interface, simulating 800 microstrain of shrinkage in the radial direction. Axial strain recordings were compared on specimens instrumented with two different measurement methods: full-and mid-height linear variable displacement transformers (LVDTs). Results of the experimental study indicate that the influence of interface gap on stress-strain behavior is significant, with an increase in interface gap resulting in a decrease and increase in the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain, respectively. It was also observed that an increase in interface gap leads to a slight loss in axial stress at the transition region of the stress-strain curve. Finally, it is found that an increase in the interface gap results in a significant decrease in the ratio of the ultimate axial strains obtained from mid-section and full-height LVDTs.

A stress-strain equation of Ramberg-Osgood type is proposed to correlate the longitudinal stress with longitudinal strain of a thin plate when a constant stress is applied transversely. The same approach can be used to correlate the axial stress with axial strain for a thin-walled pipe in axial tension with internal pressure. The proposed stress-strain equation relating the longitudinal stress and strain closely approximates that of deformation theory. The effect of a secondary stress (hoop stress) on the J-integral for a circumferential crack in a pipe under axial load and internal pressure is evaluated by finite element analysis (FEA). The results show that the J-integral decreases with internal pressure at a given axial stress but increases with internal pressure at a given axial strain. It is concluded that while a secondary stress may be safely neglected in a stress-based format because it decreases the driving force at a given applied stress, it should not be neglected in a strain-based format because it significantly increases the driving force at a given applied strain.

A thick-walled cylindrical specimen containing an external circumferential groove was subjected to external pressure. To investigate the maximum pressure sustainable by the reduced wall thickness, strain gage measurements were taken during external pressurization tests. For comparison to experimental results, an elastic-plastic notch stress-strain analysis was conducted based on Neuber’s rule. The analysis utilized multiaxial elastic finite element results along with elastic-plastic tensile test data for the cylinder material. Based on experimental observations, it was necessary to supplement the approach with an additional relation between elastic and elastic-plastic multiaxial strains for the axisymmetric geometry under investigation. Assuming an invariant hoop to radial strain ratio rather than an invariant hoop to axial strain ratio provided better agreement with experimental results. It is demonstrated that the boundary conditions used to model the specimen had a substantial effect on the finite element results, even though the boundary was somewhat removed from the region of concentrated stress. Biaxial strain measurements are presented versus pressure over the elastic and into the plastic regime, and deformation plasticity theory was used to compute stress and radial strain components corresponding to measured strains. It is demonstrated that in order to apply a multiaxial Neuber’s rule to accurately estimate the elastic-plastic stress-strain response (using elastic stress concentration information and elastic-plastic material data), it is necessary to utilize an experimental observation that the ratio of the hoop to radial strain remains invariant from the elastic to the elastic-plastic regime. This differs from published assumptions about invariant hoop-to-axial strain ratios based on analysis of circumferentially grooved solid shafts. The predictions are accurate for moderate plastic strains, but correlation breaks down for bulk plastic deformation.

Abstract In this paper, the cyclic loading and unloading confining pressure tests of raw coal samples were carried out by using the "Triaxial seepage test device of thermal fluid solid of coal and rock" developed by Chongqing University. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The axial strain change rate ε1´, the radial strain change rate ε3´ and the permeability change rate k´ under unit stress state are used to represent the sensitivity of axial stress and confining pressure to deformation and permeability characteristics of samples under unit stress state. (2) At the initial stage of unloading the confining pressure, the confining pressure has a greater influence on the permeability of the sample. At the initial stage of loading confining pressure, the confining pressure has a greater influence on the radial strain of the specimen. During the subsequent loading and unloading process, the confining pressure of loading and unloading has a greater influence on the permeability of the sample, and a smaller influence on the axial strain. The loading axial stress has a greater influence on the axial strain of the sample, and a smaller influence on the permeability of the sample. (3) When the axial stress is constant, the increase range of sample permeability increases with the increase of unloading confining pressure range, and the decreasing range of sample permeability increases with the increase of loading confining pressure range, and the increase range of sample permeability under unloading confining pressure is higher than that under increasing confining pressure. (4) In the process of loading axial stress and loading confining pressure, the permeability of samples decreases nonlinearly with the increase of principal stress difference, while the permeability of samples increases nonlinearly with the decrease of principal stress difference in the process of unloading confining pressure.

This manuscript studied the effects of variable axial pressure loading rate and variable confining pressure unloading rate on the deformation behavior and seepage characteristics of raw coal under alternate loading and unloading of axial pressure and confining pressure. It believed that as axial stress increases, axial strain ε 1 decreases, radial strain ε 3 increases, and permeability k decreases, and ε 1 ′ , ε 3 ′ , and k ′ increase when confining pressure is decreases. With the loading of axial stress and the unloading of confining pressure, the variation amplitudes of ε 1 ′ , ε 3 ′ , and k ′ values reduce gradually. During axial stress loading, the rise in the amplitude of ε 1 is larger than that of ε 3 and the reduction in the amplitude of k , indicating that ε 1 is more sensitive to axial stress than ε 3 and k . During unloading of confining pressure, the increase rate of ε 3 is larger than that of ε 1 and k ; also, ε 3 showed a high sensitivity to confining pressure. In the stage of axial stress loading and confining pressure unloading, the evolution law of deformation and permeability parameters is basically consistent with the change in loading and unloading rate.

The addition of macro-polypropylene fibres improves the stress-strain performance of natural aggregate concrete (NAC). However, limited studies focus on the stress-strain performance of macro-polypropylene fibre-reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Considering the variability of coarse recycled aggregates (CRA), more studies are needed to investigate the stress-strain performance of macro-polypropylene fibre-reinforced RAC. In this study, a new type of 48 mm long BarChip macro-polypropylene fibre with a continuously embossed surface texture is used to produce BarChip fibre-reinforced NAC (BFNAC) and RAC (BFRAC). The stress-strain performance of BFNAC and BFRAC is studied for varying dosages of BarChip fibres. Results show that the increase in energy dissipation capacity (i.e., area under the curve), peak stress, and peak strain of samples is observed with an increase in fibre dosage, indicating the positive effect of fibre addition on the stress-strain performance of concrete. The strength enhancement due to the addition of fibres is higher for BFRAC samples than BFNAC samples. The reduction in peak stress, ultimate strain, toughness and specific toughness of concrete samples due to the utilisation of CRA also reduces with the addition of fibres. Hence, the negative effect of CRA on the properties of concrete samples can be minimised by adding BarChip macro-polypropylene fibres. The applicability of the stress-strain model previously developed for macro-synthetic and steel fibre-reinforced NAC and RAC to BFNAC and BFRAC is also examined.

This research investigates the behavior of square concrete columns externally wrapped by low-cost and easily available fiber rope reinforced polymer (FRRP) composites. This study mainly aims to explore the axial stress-strain relationships of FRRP-confined square columns. Another objective is to assess suitable predictive models for the ultimate strength and strain of FRRP-confined square columns. A total of 60 square concrete columns were cast, strengthened, and tested under compression. The parameters were the corner radii of square columns (0, 13, and 26 mm) and different materials of FRRP composites (polyester, hemp, and cotton FRRP composites). The strength and deformability of FRRP-confined specimens were observed to be higher than the unconfined specimens. It was observed that strength gains of FRRP-confined concrete columns and corner radii were directly proportional. The accuracy of ultimate strength and strain models developed for synthetic FRRP-confined square columns was assessed using the test results of this study, showing the need for the development of improved predictive models for FRRP-confined square columns. Newly developed unified models were found to be accurate in predicting the ultimate strength and strain of FRRP-confined columns.
