Frozen Red Sandstone

The freezing method is widely used in the construction of vertical shafts in water-rich strata. The formed frozen rock wall is often involved in the creep process, and in particular, the creep behavior of frozen fissured rock mass poses a great threat to construction safety. To better understand the creep instability law of ice-filled, fractured red sandstone under freezing and triaxial stress conditions, a series of triaxial creep tests on frozen red sandstone specimens containing a single, pre-existing flaw at −10°C and under a confining pressure of 4 MPa were carried out with a self-developed DRTS-500 subzero rock triaxial testing system. The multistage loading creep curves were obtained, and the evolution laws of deformation and damage for the frozen specimens in the primary (instantaneous), secondary (steady-state) and tertiary (accelerating) phases were analyzed. The nonlinear visco-elastoplastic constitutive model of red sandstone with a single ice-filled flaw was established according to the fractional calculus theory and the Kachanov damage theory. The results show that the initial creep property, unstable creep property and creep failure mode of frozen single-flaw red sandstone are significantly affected by the flaw dip angle. The proposed creep damage model can accurately describe the complete creep curves of frozen red sandstone with a single ice-filled flaw, especially in the unstable creep stage. The influences of the stress level and flaw dip angle on the creep parameters were analyzed, and sensitivity analyses of the characteristic creep parameters were carried out to verify the reliability and rationality of our creep model. This research can be applied to the assessment of collapse, cracking and other long-term failures and hence can be used as a theoretical basis of design in the freezing engineering of coal mine shafts.

This study develops a unified phenomenological creep model for polymer-bonded composite materials, allowing for predicting the creep behavior in the three creep stages, namely the primary, the secondary, and the tertiary stages under sustained compressive stresses. Creep testing is performed using material specimens under several conditions with a temperature range of 20 °C–50 °C and a compressive stress range of 15 MPa–25 MPa. The testing data reveal that the strain rate–time response exhibits the transient, steady, and unstable stages under each of the testing conditions. A rational function-based creep rate equation is proposed to describe the full creep behavior under each of the testing conditions. By further correlating the resulting model parameters with temperature and stress and developing a Larson–Miller parameter-based rupture time prediction model, a unified phenomenological model is established. An independent validation dataset and third-party testing data are used to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model. The performance of the proposed model is compared with that of an existing reference model. The verification and comparison results show that the model can describe all the three stages of the creep process, and the proposed model outperforms the reference model by yielding 28.5% smaller root mean squared errors on average.

The development of fractures, which determine the complexity of coal creep characteristics, is the main physical property of coal relative to other rocks. This study conducted a series of multistage creep tests to investigate the creep behavior of coal under different stress levels. A negative elastic modulus and a non-Newtonian component were introduced into the classical Nishihara model based on the theoretical analysis of the experimental results to propose a nonlinear viscoelastic–plastic creep model for describing the non-decay creep behavior of coal. The validity of the model was verified by experimental data. The results show that this improved model can preferably exhibit decelerating, steady state, and accelerating creep behavior during the non-decay creep process. The fitting accuracy of the improved model was significantly higher than that of the classical Nishihara model. Given that acceleration creep is a critical stage in predicting the instability and failure of coal, its successful description using this improved model is crucial for the prevention and control of coal dynamic disasters.

Abstract Similar to many polymer materials, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) show a clear creep behavior, the rate of which is influenced by temperature, load, and time. Most bolted flange joints undergo relaxation under compression, which is caused by the creep of the material. However, the creep property of the two polymers is different under tension and compression loading. Since the sealing capacity of a flanged gasketed joint is impacted by the amount of relaxation that takes place, it is important to properly address and predict the relaxation behavior due to flange creep under compression and thereby reducing the chances of leakage failure of HDPE and PVC bolted flange joints. The main objective of this study is to analyze the compressive creep behavior of HDPE and PVC flanges under normal operating conditions. This is achieved by developing a respective creep model for the two materials, based on their short-term experimental creep test data. Both numerical and experimental simulations of the polymeric flange relaxation behavior are conducted on an NPS 3 class 150 bolted flange joint of dissimilar materials, where one of the flanges is made of HDPE or PVC material and the other one is made of steel SA105. The study also provides a clear picture on how the compression creep data of ring specimen may be utilized for predicating the flange bolt load relaxation over time at the operating temperatures.

Shear Creep

Creep property is an important mechanical property of rocks. Given the complexity of rock masses, mechanical parameters change with time in the creep process. In this work, a nonlinear function for describing the time-dependent change of parameters was introduced and an improved variable-parameter nonlinear Nishihara shear creep model of rocks was established. By creating rock-like materials, the mechanical properties of rocks under the shear creep test condition were studied, and the deformation characteristics and long-term shear strength of rocks during creep were analyzed. The material parameters of the model were identified using the creep test results. Comparison of the model’s calculated values and experimental data indicated that the model can describe the creep characteristics of rocks well, thus proving the correctness and rationality of the improved model. During shear creep, the mechanical properties of rocks have an aging effect and show hardening characteristics under low shear stress. Furthermore, according to the fact that Gk of the nonlinear model can characterize the creep deformation resistance, a method to determine the long-term shear strength is proposed.

Based on the results obtained by the triaxial creep test, a creep-damage constitutive model for sandstone is presented by using the damage theory and by introducing the concept of “the whole process of damage” into Burgers creep model. The parameters of the model are determined by fitting the creep test data. The result shows that the proposed model can not only describe efficiently the variation of decay and steady creep under relatively low stress condition, but also give a satisfied representation of damage behavior in accelerated creep stage.

The creep behaviors of expansive soils play an important role in landslide prediction and long-term stability analysis. In this paper, triaxial drained compression creep tests of expansive soils were conducted on the improved stress-controlled triaxial apparatus. The test results show that only transient deformation and attenuation creep occur with low deviator stress, and the increment of axial strain increases exponentially with deviator stress increasing; while deviator stress reaches a certain value, attenuation creep, steady creep and accelerated creep all occur in a creep curve. Meanwhile, the volumetric strain presents the shear shrinkage characteristic at the initial stage of loading, and the shear shrinkage is small. With the extension of loading time, the volumetric strain gradually varies from shear contraction to dilatancy. When entering the accelerated creep stage, the development rate of volumetric strain increases sharply. Besides, isochronous stress-strain curves of expansive soils indicate that their creep process possesses nonlinear characteristics, and the nonlinear degree is related to creep time and stress level. Imitating the empirical formula of cyclic cumulative deformation of clay, a new nonlinear creep model is presented, which may well describe the creep property of expansive soils. Furthermore, critical failure stress could be obtained based on the proposed creep model. The ratio of the critical failure stress to conventional shear failure stress ranges from 70% to 80%, with average of 75.56%, therefore, critical failure stress may be estimated by conventional triaxial tests with the margin of error 5.5% within.

P91-type steel is widely used for the high-temperature pipe work components in advanced power plants. The creep behavior of the P91-type steel has been studied by many researchers during the past years. Since it is well known that the creep behavior of P91-type steel cannot be satisfactorily described by a simple, Arrhenius-type, power-law constitutive model. While Norton-Bailey creep is a deviatoric temperature-dependent creep model, furbished with a time-hardening creep model, which is the most common model for modeling primary and secondary creep together, and Kachanov-Rabotnov creep damage theory described with Norton creep model can be used to model tertiary creep. Both of them based on Norton creep constitutive equation. In this paper, based on the Norton-Bailey creep law and Kachanov-Rabotnov creep damage theory, a new combined constitutive model has been developed, in which the creep and damage function are both considered as nonlinear variables. The damage parameters in the model have clear physical meaning and can be determined from the benchmark experiment. The results indicated that this combined damage model was applicable to describe the full damage evolution for P91-type steel.

A combined constitutive model is developed for the creep behavior of frozen soil in an unconfined condition. The model is obtained by coupling two stress- and time-dependent models, which are responsible for the primary and tertiary creep stages. The model parameters are dependent on temperature and can be readily determined from the strain rate–time curves at two creep stresses. The model performance is demonstrated by simulating the complete strain–time and strain rate–time curves (including primary, secondary, and tertiary stages) of frozen sand and frozen clay in uniaxial creep tests under different creep stresses. Moreover, two equations are obtained from the combined model. One shows a good capability in describing the relationship between creep strength and the time to creep failure. The other makes an excellent prediction of the steady flow rate in a typical creep process. Both equations can reflect the effects of stress and temperature on the creep behavior of frozen soil.
