The common failure forms in the uniaxial compression test of standard cylindrical rock specimens are symmetric cone failure and splitting failure. In the past, two kinds of failure forms were explained from the plane problems of elasticity theory. However, there was a lack of research based on space problems. In this paper, based on spatial axisymmetric elastic mechanics theory, three-dimensional stress function is constructed for the cylindrical rock specimen under uniform axial compression by adopting the semi-inverse method. According to the stress function, the stress components and the principal stress are deduced when considering the end effect. The failure form is speculated, which can well explain the two common types of damage in uniaxial compression. This work may enrich the basic research of rock mechanics.

Simulation Results

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.

Microcrack Propagation

Cavities and flaws are common types of defects in rock specimens that have an important impact on the mechanical properties of rockmass. In this paper, cement mortar was used to prefabricate a rock-like specimen with two cavities and a single flaw, and the uniaxial compression test was carried out. The process of fracture evolution on the specimen surface was obtained by using photography technology. The evolution regularity of a fracture was monitored by utilizing acoustic emission (AE) technology during the process of the specimen failure. Moreover, three-dimensional (3D) tomograms of specimens after uniaxial compression were obtained by using computerized tomography (CT) scanning technology, investigating the development characteristics of microcracks and the distribution of the final macrofractures. The particle flow code in two dimensions (PFC2D) program was used to simulate the mechanical behavior of brittle rock combining with microcrack propagation. The calculated stress-strain curve, AE features, and fracture distribution of the specimen obtained from the PFC2D simulation were relatively consistent with the experimental results.

Thermal Mechanical Analysis

The effect of the residual stresses and strains is one of the most important parameter in the structure integrity assessment. A finite element model is constructed in order to simulate the multi passes mismatched submerged arc welding SAW which used in the welded tensile test specimen. Sequentially coupled thermal mechanical analysis is done by using ABAQUS software for calculating the residual stresses and distortion due to welding. In this work, three main issues were studied in order to reduce the time consuming during welding simulation which is the major problem in the computational welding mechanics (CWM). The first issue is dimensionality of the problem. Both two- and three-dimensional models are constructed for the same analysis type, shell element for two dimension simulation shows good performance comparing with brick element. The conventional method to calculate residual stress is by using implicit scheme that because of the welding and cooling time is relatively high. In this work, the author shows that it could use the explicit scheme with the mass scaling technique, and time consuming during the analysis will be reduced very efficiently. By using this new technique, it will be possible to simulate relatively large three dimensional structures.

Hydroxyapatite Scaffold

In this work a novel three-dimensional ostechondral substitute is proposed that is made of an inorganic/organic hybrid material, namely collagen/hydroxyapatite. The two components of the substitute have been characterized separately. The inorganic part, a hydroxyapatite scaffold, was fabricated by a polymer sponge templating method using a reactive sub-micron powder synthesized in our laboratory by hydroxide precipitation sol-gel route. The organic part, a collagen scaffold, was fabricated by a freeze-dying technique varying design parameters. Both the parts were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and their mechanical properties assessed by compression tests. The hydroxyapatite scaffold showed a high and highly interconnected porosity and a mechanical strength equal to 0.55 MPa, higher than those reported in literature. The collagen scaffolds were seeded by chondrocytes, processed for histology analysis and tested in compression. The biological tests proved the ability of the scaffolds to be positively populated by chondrocytes and the mechanical analysis showed that the mechanical strength of the scaffolds significantly increased after 3 weeks of culture.
