After a gas drainage event causes different degrees of initial porosity in the coal seam, the heterogeneity of the coal mass becomes much more obvious. In this paper, soft coal testing samples with different degrees of heterogeneity were prepared first by a new special experimental research method using hydrogen peroxide in an alkaline medium to generate oxygen. Then, a series of mechanical tests on the soft coal mass samples were carried out under multiple factor coupling conditions of different heterogeneities and confining pressures. The results show that with a low strength, the ductility failure characteristic and a kind of rheology similar to that for soft rock flow were reflected for the soft coal; i.e., the stress-strain curve of the coal mass had no apparent peak strain and residual strength. An interesting phenomenon was found in the test process: there was an upwardly convex critical phase, called the brittle-ductile failure transition critical phase, for the heterogeneous soft coal mass between the initial elastic compression phase and the ductile failure transition phase in the stress-strain curve of the coal mass. An evolution of the brittle-ductile modulus coefficient of the soft coal was developed to analyze the effect of the internal factor (degree of heterogeneity) and external factors (confining pressure) on the transition state of the brittle-ductile failure of soft coal. Further analysis shows that the internal factor (heterogeneity) was also one of the essential factors causing the brittle-ductile transition of soft coal.

The effect of temperature fluctuation on rocks needs to be considered in many civil engineering applications. Up to date the dynamic characteristics of rock under freeze-thaw cycles are still not quite clearly understood. In this study, the dynamic mechanical properties of sandstone under pre-compression stress and freeze-thaw cycles were investigated. At the same number of freeze-thaw cycles, with increasing axial pre-compression stress, the dynamic Young’s modulus and peak stress first increase and then decrease, whereas the dynamic peak strain first decreases and then increases. At the same pre-compression stress, with increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the peak stress decreases while the peak strain increases, and the peak strain and peak stress show an inverse correlation before or after the pre-compression stress reaches the densification load of the static stress–strain curve. The peak stress and strain both increase under the static load near the yielding stage threshold of the static stress–strain curve. The failure mode is mainly shear failure, and with increasing axial pre-compression stress, the degree of shear failure increases, the energy absorption rate of the specimen increases first and then decreases. With increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the number of fragments increases and the size diminishes, and the energy absorption rates of the sandstone increase.

In order to study the mechanical properties of recycled concrete with the same strength, three kinds of recycled concrete have been made which their intensities reached C25, C30, C35 at the recycled coarse aggregate replacement ratios (0%, 50%, 100%), and severally completed the stress-strain curve test on the same strength of recycled concrete, separately analyzed the variance about failure pattern and peak strain, elastic modulus that all belonged to recycled concrete under the condition of the same strength. Studies have shown that the overall shape of recycled concretes stress-strain curves is similar to normal concretes under the same strength, and the difference is small, modulus of elasticity decreases with the increase of recycled coarse aggregate replacement ratio, while the peak strain basicly remains unchanged. Their curves can be used two stages respectively and also be represented by three fitting polynomial and rational expression, their descent stages steepened gradually with the increase of recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate.

Variation Rule

To establish complete stress-strain curve equations for confined concrete in cross-shaped columns, we designed 7 test specimens corresponding to the usable eigenvalue range of stirrup of the cross-shaped columns. We obtained the test results of the reinforced concrete cross-shaped columns through axial compression test, got the system parameters of a stress-strain model through statistical analysis of the test data, and then established stress-strain curves for confined concrete in the cross-shaped columns. This model reflects the variation rule of the stress-strain curve of confined concrete in cross-shaped columns. Compared with the stress-strain model for confined concrete in square columns, the confined concrete in cross-shaped columns has smaller peak stress, larger peak strain, and relatively steeper descending part of curve. The research results provide theorotical basis for nonlinear analysis of cross-shaped columns.

For geotechnical engineering, it has great significance to research the mechanical characteristics of rock mass under three dimensional stresses. Through triaxial compression failure test, the characteristics of stress-strain curve and deformation of red sandstone from Sichuan under different confining pressures has been analyzed. The results show that: with the increment of confining pressure, the failure mode of rock mass changes from brittle failure to ductile failure gradually, and an obvious yield platform appears near the peak strength of stress-strain curve; the elastic modulus, deformation modulus, peak strain and residual strain of rock sample increase with the increment of confining pressure, the elastic modulus and deformation modulus are not a fixed value, and the relation between deformation parameter and confining pressure can be fit through quadratic curve.

Statistical Damage

To study the impact properties of granite, the parameters (including the stress-strain curve, elasticity modulus, peak strength, and peak strain) of the test pieces in each group were determined via standard split-Hopkinson pressure bar tests. The results revealed that the prepeak stress-strain curves are approximately linear; the postpeak stress-strain curve declined sharply and exhibited the characteristics of brittle material failure after the stress exceeded the peak strength. In terms of the specimen form following failure, for increasing strain rate, the granite specimen became increasingly fragmented after failure. In addition, the single-parameter statistical damage constitutive model was improved, and a double-parameter statistical damage constitutive model for describing the total stress-strain curve of granite under the action of impact loading was proposed. The parameters of the statistical damage model, m and a, were obtained via fitting. The results revealed that the parameter m decreases with increasing elasticity modulus, whereas the parameter a increases. Similarly, the peak strength and the peak strain increased (in general) with increasing strain rate.

Slump Flow

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the compressive strength and workability of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) which yields a slump at 250 ± 20mm and a slump flow at 650 ± 50mm. From the complete stress-strain curve, it shows the peak strain will be higher while the strength increases. Two kinds of the post failure models can be distinguished. The first type (Type I) is called strain softening and the second type (Type II) is called strain snapping back. Also, it is found that the modulus of elasticityEcdecreases as the volume of cementitious pasteVpincreases. On the other hand, Poisson's ratio ν increases asVpincreases.

43 Φ50mm × 100mm column stress - strain curve tests are completed through RMT-201, which studied the compressive stress - strain curves of recycled aggregate concretes at distinct confining pressures under conventional triaxial stress state. This article, has analyzed the influence of different water-cement ratios, confining pressures on the curves, and raised constitutive equations of triaxial compression stress - strain curves for the different strength of recycled aggregate concretes.The brittleness indexes for recycled aggregate concrete under distinct confining pressures were analyzed contrastively. The result showed that: the failure modes of recycled aggregate concrete specimens are similar to those of ordinary concretes, but the final failure patterns of recycled aggregate and ordinary aggregate are quite different; with the increase of lateral pressure, the peak stress and peak strain of recycled aggregate concrete show linear growth; recycled aggregate concrete compressive stress - strain curves under the uniaxial and triaxial stress states are similar to ordinary aggregate concrete, yet peak strain shows signs of larger growth; with the increase of lateral pressure, the brittleness of recycled aggregate concrete reduces. The brittleness index of high-strength recycled aggregate concrete is larger wholly than that of ordinary recycled aggregate concrete and with confining pressure reaching a certain value, the brittleness index remains stable.

Based on uniaxial compression test, the mechanical properties of buffer/backfilling materials after different temperatures are studied. The study analyzed buffer/backfilling materials of stress-strain curve，peak stress，modulus of elasticity，peak strain, with the variation of temperature. The buffer/backfilling materials of strengthening and degradation in different temperature are discussed briefly. The test result show that below 200°C, buffer/backfilling materials of stress-strain curve of slope，peak stress，modulus of elasticity，peak strain ,are increase with increasing temperature increase. The main reason is that with increasing temperature, adsorbed water in the sample will evaporate, and brittleness of sample will improve; mineral particles of expansion lead to the original cracks closing, the porosity will reduce, and improve friction properties between particles. 300 °C,buffer / backfill materials of stress - strain curve of slope, peak stress, elastic modulus, decreased to varying degrees compared to 200 °C. the main reason is that thermal stress damage to the internal structure of the samples, resulting in new small cracks. The peak strain of buffer / backfill materials in the 25 °C～100 °C is increase with increasing temperature increase.100°C～200°C, peak strain is decrease with the increase of temperature. In the 200 °C～300 °C, the peak strain change little.

The present study deals with the extended version of our previous research work. In this article, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry and engineering stress–strain curve of the cold metal transfer (CMT) weldment, a MATLAB based application window (second version) is developed with certain modifications. In the first version, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry, apart from weld bead characteristics, x and y coordinates (24 from each) of the extracted points are considered. Finally, in the first version, 53 output values (five for weld bead characteristics and 48 for x and y coordinates) are predicted using both multiple regression analysis (MRA) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) technique to get an idea related to the complete weld bead geometry without performing the actual welding process. The obtained weld bead shapes using both the techniques are compared with the experimentally obtained bead shapes. Based on the results obtained from the first version and the knowledge acquired from literature, the complete shape of weld bead obtained using ANFIS is in good agreement with the experimentally obtained weld bead shape. This motivated us to adopt a hybrid technique known as ANFIS (combined artificial neural network and fuzzy features) alone in this paper for predicting the weld bead shape and engineering stress–strain curve of the welded joint. In the present study, an attempt is made to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction when the number of trials is reduced to half and increasing the number of data points from the macrograph to twice. Complete weld bead geometry and the engineering stress–strain curves were predicted against the input welding parameters (welding current and welding speed), fed by the user in the MATLAB application window. Finally, the entire weld bead geometries were predicted by both the first and the second version are compared and validated with the experimentally obtained weld bead shapes. The similar procedure was followed for predicting the engineering stress–strain curve to compare with experimental outcomes.
