Through studying the mechanics, energy, and deformation features of rock under uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading, the findings are as follows: (1) under cyclic loading and unloading, the curve of stress and strain for loading and unloading in every cycle was not superposition reciprocally but formed an acutifoliate hysteresis loop. The distribution of the hysteresis loop became denser with the cycles and moved toward the direction of strain increasing. (2) The area of the hysteresis loop indicated the inner damage degree of rock. And the hysteresis energy accumulated was stronger; the damage of rock was more serious. Furthermore, the hysteresis energy grew linearly along with load, and the hysteresis energy accumulated had a trend exponential growth with cycle continuing. (3) The elasticity modulus grew in the form of logarithm as a whole. In each cycle, elasticity modulus for unloading was greater than that for loading. When it exceeded a certain value, elasticity modulus for reloading was less than elasticity modulus for unloading. (4) The cyclic loading and unloading had a strength impact that was gradually stronger and stronger as the cycle went on the sample of rock.

To study the fracture characteristics and fatigue damage of fractured rock masses, noncoplanar fractured rocklike specimens prepared using cement mortar were used for a graded cyclic loading–unloading test. The results showed that the two ends of the horizontal crack were the main stress concentration areas, and they inhibited crack initiation of the inclined fracture. With increasing crack inclination, the inhibitory effect became more obvious. Under the condition that the lower limit stress is constant, as the upper limit stress increases, energy dissipation of the specimen increases, becoming relatively stable in each stage of the cycle. With increasing crack inclination, the increase in the energy dissipation value decreases. Specimens with large changes in the shape of their hysteresis loop tend to exhibit large fluctuations in the elastic modulus. As the loading progressed, the elastic modulus exhibited a downward trend, and the damping ratio tended to be stable. The change in the damping ratio is affected by the dynamic elastic modulus and area of the hysteresis loop. Based on the Weibull probability distribution function, the evolution curve of the damage variable of the specimen can be obtained. This curve reflects the trend of the damage change of the rocklike specimens under various levels of cyclic loading and unloading.

Before rock burst, coal, and gas outburst dynamic load, rock mass in geotechnical engineering has been an indifferent degree of damage. The dissipation energy of rock mass under dynamic load reflects the difficulty of rock breaking. In view of the energy dissipation of damaged rock mass under dynamic load, the cyclic loading and unloading test is carried out to make sandstone in different damage states, and the damage degree of sandstone is characterized by the change of longitudinal wave velocity before and after cyclic loading and unloading. Then, the rock with different damage degrees is tested by adopting the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Finally, the energy dissipation characteristics of damaged rock under impact load are analyzed. The results show that the damage factor of sandstone increases with the increase of the upper limit of stress after cyclic static loading. The dynamic strength and peak strain of damaged sandstone increase with the increase of impact pressure and decrease with the increase of damage degree. With the increase of damage degree of sandstone, the reflection energy and dissipation energy of sandstone increase, while the transmission energy decreases.

Magnesium alloys exhibit significant inelastic behavior during unloading, especially when twinning and detwinning are involved. It is commonly accepted that noteworthy inelastic behavior will be observed during unloading if twinning occurs during previous loading. However, this phenomenon is not always observed for Mg sheets with strong rolled texture. Therefore, the inelasticity of AZ31B rolled sheets with different rolled textures during cyclic loading-unloading are investigated by elastic viscoplastic self-consistent polycrystal plasticity model. The incorporation of the twinning and detwinning model enables the treatment of detwinning, which plays an important role for inelastic behavior during unloading. The effects of texture, deformation history, and especially twinning and detwinning on the inelastic behaviors are carefully investigated and found to be remarkable. The simulated results are in agreement with the available experimental observations, which reveals that the inelastic behavior for strongly rolled sheets is very different than the extruded bars.

It is of significance to study the damage and destruction of rock under cyclic loading in geotechnical engineering. We determined the trends in damage evolution of sandstone under constant-amplitude and tiered cyclic loading and unloading under uniaxial compression. The results of the study show that (1) the variation of acoustic-emission events was consistent with the stress curves and 89% of all acoustic-emission events occurred during the cycling stages. The observed Kaiser effect was more notable in tiered cycling. (2) The damage variable increased sharply in the cycling stages and its increment was 0.07 higher for tiered cycling than constant-amplitude cycling. Sandstone exhibited greater damage under tiered cyclic loading and unloading. (3) Equations for the evolution of the damage variable under the two cycle modes were obtained by fitting of experimental data. (4) The fractal dimensions of the constant-amplitude cycle were larger than those of the tiered cycle. The process of damage and destruction presents a trend of reducing fractal dimension. The damage accumulation of sandstone under tiered cycling was faster than under constant-amplitude cycling. These results provide references for damage and early warning of rock under both constant-amplitude and tiered cyclic loading and unloading.
