Both computed tomography (CT) and notched semicircular bend (NSCB) tests are performed for coals with high and medium bursting proneness to extract the scientific expression of pore-fracture and its influence mechanism on the tensile failure behavior. The acoustic emission (AE) parameters in the sample during loading and failure are monitored, and the influence mechanism of pore-fracture on tensile failure behavior of coal is analyzed. The result illustrates that the spatial distribution feature of the pore-fracture in coals with high and medium bursting proneness is extremely different. The deformation and failure mode of the coals are affected by many factors, loading mode, notch depth and width, mechanical properties of matrix and minal, spatial distribution feature of pore-fracture, etc. The influence of primary pore-fracture in the coal on the extension and penetration of the secondary fracture could be divided into two types: bifurcation and promotion, which would cause different local damage in the sample and affect the final failure mode. The feature of acoustic emission parameters indicates that the deformation and failure process of a sample under loading could be divided into four stages: compaction stage, elastic deformation stage, displacement plastic growth stage, and post peak failure stage, which is the result of comprehensive action of many factors. The evolution process of secondary fracture is accompanied by the dissipation of elastic strain energy and the intensification of internal damage of coal, which reflects the failure process of coal.

Concrete three-point bending beams with preexisting cracks are widely used to study the growth process of I-II mixed mode cracks. Studying the failure characteristics of preexisting cracks at different locations on concrete three-point bending beams not only has important scientific significance but also has a wide range of engineering application backgrounds in the safety assessment of engineering structures. In this paper, through several numerical experiments, the influence of preexisting cracks at different positions on the failure characteristics of concrete three-point bending beams is studied, and three typical failure modes are obtained. The failure process of the specimens with three typical failure modes is discussed in detail, and it is pointed out that the crack failure mode is tensile failure. The change trends of bearing capacity, acoustic emission quantity, and acoustic emission energy of three typical failure modes are analyzed. The maximum bearing capacity, the maximum acoustic emission quantity, and energy of three failure modes of concrete three-point bending beams generally show an increasing trend.

The study and accurate prediction of the movement of overburden rock mass and surface subsidence are crucial for a safe production in metal mines. This study investigates the relationship between the movement laws of overlaying strata and the time space of a mined-out volume using Rock Failure Process Analysis (RFPA) System. Furthermore, the movement, deformation, and failure laws of overlaying strata are examined in different positions when a goaf volume is certain and the failure behavior of the overlaying strata. This study analyzes the similarities and differences of the overlaying strata comparatively. Results show that, regardless of the movement range or subsidence value of the overlying rock mass, a power function relationship is observed between them and working face advancement. Setting the equation shows that the scope of the overlying rock mass is significant when the ratio of a certain position distance roof to the working face distance is small. The results provide a reference for controlling the displacement of the overlying rock mass and treating goaf.

Realistic failure process analysis, a thermal software simulation, was used to explore the scale effect of thermal cracking of rock under the thermal–mechanical coupling loading. The patterns and characteristics of thermal destruction were analyzed by simulating the thermal cracking of rocks with the same diameter different lengths, the same length but different diameters, and the same size ratio but different sizes (same length/diameter ratio but with different diameters). The acoustic emission and energy changes were also studied during thermal destruction. The results represented that the main forms of thermal cracking are tensile failure and shear failure. The smaller the scale is (length, diameter, and size), the more complex the pattern of thermal damage exhibited as failure patterns of inverted “S” or “V.” With the increasing scale, thermal damage models were simpler. The elastic modulus was determined by the diameter of specimens, and the peak stress was determined by the length of specimens. Overall, as the scale increased, the stress intensity decreased, but the number of acoustic emissions and acoustic emission energy and the corresponding accumulation increased.

Adhesive bonding is usually used to fabricate composite structures that are hard to manufacture in one piece, however, their lightweight advantage is usually impaired by low failure strength. For high performance composite structures, bonding properties of joints dominate the failure performance and commonly are the primary target of structural optimization. Both experimental and numerical studies of failure behavior of single-lap joints with three-dimensional braided composite laminate adherends are presented in this paper. First, tensile failure tests were performed on braid-laminates single-lap joints bonded with epoxy resin. Compared with the laminates–laminates single-lap joints, the failure load of the braid–laminates single-lap joints increased by 18.4%. Then, the Finite Element Method (FEM) coupled with cohesive zone models (CZM), considering different value of overlap length (L), was used to perform the detail stress distribution of the overlap sections of SLJs. Further, damage initialization and crack growth of single-lap joints are analyzed in detail to fully characterize the failure process, and both experimental and numerical results lead to the same conclusion. Lastly, the effect of three-dimensional braided adherends’ braiding angle on braid-laminates single-lap joints’ performance was investigated, which provides suggestions for the design and optimization for adhesive bonded composite structures.

Abstract In this study, we modeled the deformation and failure behavior of different glass woven fabrics under uni-axial tension using the Fibre Bundle Cells-modeling method. The difference between the analytical, phenomenological model curve and the mean curve calculated from the measurement results was classified by the relative mean squared error (RMSE), which is closely related to the coefficient of determination. This value was less than 3.6% in all the examined cases, which indicated good modeling.

Acoustic emission technique is an important technique for monitoring crack propagation and failure process of rock, coal and concrete material. A uniaxial compression test with acoustic emission monitoring on coal and rock samples’ deformation and failure process were carried out. Failure precursor information of rock, coal and concrete material were studied through contrast analysis the experiment result include acoustic emission signals, strain, load correlation of sample inner crack propagation to failure process. The test provided necessary data to further understand on rock burst failure disaster. The test result provides a theoretical basis for further application of acoustic emission for prediction coal rock dynamic disaster, assessment rock and concrete structure stability and study rock concrete material failure process mechanism.

Deformation response and failure process of a spot welded joint are investigated in this study. For this purpose, a cross-tension spot welded joint sample made of dual phase steel sheets (DP600) is prepared and tensile tested to failure. Complementary FE simulation of the test is performed. The FE model acknowledges the variation of properties across the spot welded region. Rice-Tracey ductile damage model is approximated and employed in the simulation. Close comparison of load-displacement curves and deformed shape with measured values serve as validation of the FE model. Results show that FE simulation with damage-based model adequately predicts tensile deformation and failure of the spot welded joint. Tensile failure of the joint is confined to the heat affected zone and heat affected/fusion zone interface of the joint. Localized through-thickness necking of the sheet metal is captured. In addition, the predicted fracture of the spot welded joint is accompanied by localized extensive plastic deformation.

An investigation of concrete specimen’s strength and its changing mechanism based on numerical simulation of the failure process of axis-stressed concrete specimens with different aspect ratios was described. The state of internal stress and growth of crack of axis-stressed concrete specimens, as well as the changing mechanism of specimen strength under different ambient pressure values, were investigated. The results revealed that specimen strength and failure surface decreased as the aspect ratio is increased. The specimen strength is dependent on the state of internal stress and decreased with decreasing ambient pressure. Additionally, the failure mode shifted from shear failure to tensile failure gradually.

Rock masses are heterogeneous materials containing a large number of discontinuities, and the failure of the natural rock mass is induced by the crack propagation and coalescence of discontinuities, especially for the rock mass around tunnel or underground space. Because the deformation or failure process of jointed rock mass exhibits strongly nonlinear characteristics, it is also very difficult to predict the strength and failure modes of the rock mass. Therefore, it is very necessary to study the failure mechanisms of jointed rock mass under different stress conditions. Apart from the stress condition, the discontinuities geometry also has a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of jointed rock mass. Then, substantial, experimental, and numerical efforts have been devoted to the study of crack initiation, propagation, and coalescence of rock or rock-like specimens containing different kinds of joints or fissures. The purpose of this review is to discuss the development and the contribution of the experiment test and numerical simulation in failure behavior of jointed rock or rock-like specimens. Overall, this review can be classified into three parts. It begins by briefly explaining the significance of studying these topics. Afterwards, the experimental and numerical studies on the strength, deformation, and failure characteristics of jointed rock or rock-like materials are carried out and discussed.
