In order to better analyze the mechanical behavior of rock in uniaxial compression and Brazilian splitting, numerical model was established according to laboratory test by PFC2D particle flow program, and the simulation results were compared with the experimental results. The results show that when the rock reaches the peak stress, the failure curve of cement appears an obvious turning point, and the failure rate of cement increases.The compressive strength of rock is much greater than the tensile strength under compression condition. The preloading method is more detailed for experimental restoration, and it provides certain reference significance for rock simulation in the future.

Due to its unique technological characteristics, coal mining and production often encounter an acid corrosion environment caused by acid gases. Acid erosion and a series of chemical reactions caused by it often led to the deterioration of coal, rock, support structure, etc. and induced serious safety accidents. To further explore the macro-mesoscopic damage evolution law and failure mechanisms of rock masses under corrosion conditions through numerical simulation, a zonal refined numerical model that can reflect the acid corrosion characteristics of sandstone is established based on CT and digital image processing (DIP). The uniaxial compression test of corroded sandstone is simulated by ABAQUS software. Comparing the numerical simulation results with the physical experiment results, we found that the three-dimensional finite element model based on CT scanning technology can genuinely reflect sandstone’s corrosion characteristic. The numerical simulation results of the stress-strain curve and macroscopic failure mode of the acid-corroded sandstone are in good agreement with the experimental results, which provides a useful method for further studying the damage evolution mechanism of the acid-corroded rock mass. Furthermore, the deformation and damage evolution law of the corroded sandstone under uniaxial compression is qualitatively analyzed based on the numerical simulation. The results show that the rock sample’s axial displacement decreases gradually from top to bottom under the axial load, and the vertical variation is relatively uniform. In contrast, the rock sample’s removal gradually increases with the increase of axial pressure, and the growth presents a certain degree of nonuniformity in the vertical. The acid-etched rock sample’s damage starts from both the end and the middle; it first appears in the corroded area. Moreover, with the displacement load increase, it gradually develops and is merged in the middle of the rock sample and forms macroscopic damage.

Numerical specimens with single-hole is established by particle flow code PFC2D and uniaxial compression tests are conducted. Studies have shown that uniaxial compressive strength of specimen with single hole is less than complete specimens. As the holes move to the end of specimen, the uniaxial compressive strength first increases and then tends to decrease.

Uniaxial compression and acoustic emission experiments of calcareous mudstone with different water content were carried out by using microcomputer controlled electro-hydraulic servo compression testing machine control system of YAW series equipped by coal-rock acoustic and electric data acquisition system of CTA-1-type. Mchanical properties and acoustic emission law of calcareous mudstone were studied. It is concluded from experiment result that rock’s elastic modulus and compressive strength both decrease with increase water content but peak stress shows the opposite trend. It is also found that calcareous mudstone is brittleness with low water content but when water content reaches saturation, calcareous mudstone presents plastic features. Acoustic emission curve fits well with stress-strain curve: acoustic emission activity begins intensifying when stress reaches 70% of peak stress, correspondingly, acoustic emission is up to maximum at peak stress. Based on Weibull hypothesis and acoustic emission experiment, damage law of water bearing calcareous mudstone is researched and damage evolution equation with time variable is advanced.

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.

AbstractDynamic fracture in brittle materials has been difficult to model and predict. Interfaces, such as those present in multi-layered glass systems, further complicate this problem. In this paper we use a simplified peridynamic model of a multi-layer glass system to simulate damage evolution under impact with a high-velocity projectile. The simulation results are compared with results from recently published experiments. Many of the damage morphologies reported in the experiments are captured by the peridynamic results. Some finer details seen in experiments and not replicated by the computational model due to limitations in available computational resources that limited the spatial resolution of the model, and to the simple contact conditions between the layers instead of the polyurethane bonding used in the experiments. The peridynamic model uncovers a fascinating time-evolution of damage and the dynamic interaction between the stress waves, propagating cracks, interfaces, and bending deformations, in three-dimensions.
