Abstract The strip and column cemented gangue backfill bodies (CGBBs) are the main supporting components in the design of constructional backfill mining for coal mining, which determines the stability of goaf. Previous researches have mostly focused on the mechanical properties of column CGBB, but the mechanical properties of strip CGBB are still unclear. Herein, the uniaxial compression experiments for strip and column CGBBs were conducted to compare the failure properties. The acoustic emission (AE) and two types of resistivity monitoring were used to monitor the damage evolution. The effect of the length-height ratio on the mechanical characteristic of strip CGBB was analyzed by discrete element simulation. The results show that: the strength and peak strain of strip CGBB under uniaxial compression is higher than those of column CGBB, and the strip CGBB shows better ductility. The stress of column CGBB decreases significantly faster than that of strip CGBB at the post-peak stage. The strength and ductility of strip CGBB increase with the increase of length-height ratio. The strip CGBB is destroyed from both ends to the middle under uniaxial compression, and the core bearing area is reduced correspondingly. The AE signal evolution of CGBBs under uniaxial compression before the peak stress contains three stages, and the AE signals of strip CGBB at the peak stress will not rise sharply compared with column CGBB. The resistivity monitoring effect of the horizontally symmetrical conductive mesh is better than that of the axial. The horizontal resistivity increases gradually with the increase of stress under uniaxial compression, and increases sharply at the peak stress, and then drops after the peak stress. The damage constitutive models and the stability monitoring models of the CGBBs are established based on the experimental results. This work would be instructive for the design and stability monitoring of CGBB.

The cemented tailings backfill (CTB), which plays a significant role in the stability of mine structure, is made of cement, tailings, and water in a certain proportion. When blasting and excavating an underground mine, the CTB will be disturbed by blasting. The impact load of blasting has an impact on the stability of the CTB, which is directly related to the safety of mine construction. The mechanical behaviour of CTB is generally affected by the cement-tailings ratio (C/T) and average strain rate (ASR). Therefore, a series of impact experiments were carried out on three CTB specimens with different C/T using a SHPB. Combined with the experimental results, this account reports studies on the effects of C/T and ASR on the mechanical properties of CTB, and on the energy transfer laws of CTB during impact compression. The research results show that when the ASR is less than 70 s−1, the peak stress and the peak strain have the same trend, and both of them continue to increase with the increase of ASR.When the ASR exceeds 70 s−1, as the ASR increases, the peak stress continues to increase, but the peak strain decreases gradually. Afterwards, the law of energy transfer of the CTB specimen was analyzed. It was found that as the incident energy increased, the energy reflection ratio of the CTB increased. Both the energy transmitted ratio and the energy dissipation ratio decreased. The volumetric energy showed a sharp increase first and then a trend Because of the slowly increasing trend. Finally, according to the failure morphology of the CTB, it is found that the ASR and the C/T together affect the failure of the CTB. The failure model of the CTB is mainly split failure and crush failure.

With the wide application of high strength concrete in the building construction,the risk making concrete subject to high temperatures during a fire is increasing. Comparison tests on the mechanical properties of high strength concrete (HSC) and normal strength concrete (NSC) after the action of high temperature were made in this article, which were compared from the following aspects: the peak stress, the peak strain, elasticity modulus, and stress-strain curve after high temperature. Results show that the laws of the mechanical properties of HSC and NSC changing with the temperature are the same. With the increase of heating temperature, the peak stress and elasticity modulus decreases, while the peak strain grows rapidly. HSC shows greater brittleness and worse fire-resistant performance than NSC, and destroys suddenly. The research and evaluation on the fire-resistant performance of HSC should be strengthened during the structural design and construction on the HSC buildings.

Biomaterials used for vascular prostheses should possess certain strength that can keep the normal blood fluidity, as well as certain flexibility and elasticity that can resist blood pulsation pressure. In order to fabricate small diameter vascular prostheses (SDVP) that possess matchable mechanical properties with natural blood vessels, a bi-layered tubular structure composed of electrospinning blended nanofiber and silk fiber was designed and prepared in this study. The inner layer of the structure, prepared through electrospinning, was composed of Poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) and silk fibroin (SF) blended nanofibers. Braided silk tube was used as the outer layer of the structure. Morphological, structural and mechanical properties including peak stress, peak strain, and Youngs modulus of the prototype bi-layered SDVP were characterized initially. Results showed that the diameter range of the blended nanofiber was between 100 and 900 nm, and the fiber diameter increased with the content increase of PLCL. Through blending PLCL together with SF, peak stress and peak strain of the electrospun inner layer were improved, and that of the Youngs modulus decreased. Meanwhile, the outer layer of SDVP was stronger and had higher Youngs modulus. Those mechanical performances of the prototype bi-layered SDVP fabricated in this study are similar to natural blood vessels, which provide a promising biomaterial that could be applied on tubular tissue engineering scaffolds.

In this paper the effect of bedding layer angle on the stability of tunnel under uniaxial compression have been investigated using particle flow code in two dimensions (PFC2D). For this purpose, numerical rectangle models with dimension of 100*100 mm have been prepared. These models consist of layers with different mechanical properties i.e., concrete layer and gypsum layer. The angle of these layers related to horizontal axis change from 0° to 90° with increment of 15°. These models are consisting of one, two and three tunnel. The diameter of tunnel change based on the tunnel number. The tunnel diameter was 6 m, when one tunnel exists in the model. The tunnel diameter was 3 m, when two tunnels exist in the model. The tunnel diameter was 2 m, when three tunnels exist in the model. These models were subjected to uniaxial compression. The results show that tensile cracks are dominant mode of fracture occurred in the models. The joint angle and tunnel number have important effect on the failure pattern and failure strength. Also, the mechanical properties of beddings control the crack growth path. The crack grows through the weak layers when bedding angle was equal to 45° and 60°, but it intersects the layer for any other bedding angels.

Mechanical properties of the rock in the cold regions are often affected by freeze-thaw cycles and loads. It is of great theoretical significance and engineering value to establish a uniaxial compression damage constitutive model of the rock under freeze-thaw cycles that can reflect the relationship between macroscopic and mesoscopic structural damage. In this paper, macroscopic and mesoscopic methods are combined with statistical methods to quantitatively analyze the damage degree of rock under freeze-thaw cycles and loads. Combined with the fractal features of the macroscopic image of the section, a fractal damage constitutive model considering the residual strength of rock is established. In addition, the model is subsequently verified by the experiment. The experiment shows that the mechanical properties of rocks subjected to freeze-thaw cycles and loads are determined by freeze-thaw damage variables, load damage variables, and their coupling effects. As the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases, the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of rocks decrease, and peak strain increases. By using the fractal dimension of the compression fracture surface as a bridge considering the residual strength of the rock, the constitutive model can better reflect the compaction stage, elastic deformation stage and plastic deformation stage of the uniaxial compression process of the freeze-thaw rocks.

Shale gas is the most important new energy source in the field of energy, and its exploitation is very important. The research on the dynamic mechanical properties of shale is the premise of exploitation. To study the dynamic mechanical properties of shale from the Changning-Weiyuan area of Sichuan Province, China, under confining pressure, we used a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test system with an active containment device to carry out dynamic compression tests on shale with different bedding angles. (1) With active confining pressure, the shale experiences a high strain rate, and its stress-strain curve exhibits obvious plastic deformation. (2) For the same impact pressure, the peak stress of shale describes a U-shaped curve with an increasing bedding angle; besides, the peak stress of shale with different bedding angles increases linearly with rising confining pressure. The strain rate shows a significant confining pressure enhancement effect. With active confining pressure, the peak strain gradually decreases as the bedding angle increases. (3) As a result of the influence of different bedding angles, the dynamic elastic modulus of shale has obvious anisotropic characteristics. Shale with different bedding angles exhibits different rates of increase in the dynamic elastic modulus with rising confining pressure, which may be related to differences in the development of planes of weakness in the shale. The results of this study improve our understanding of the behavior of bedded shale under stress.

To study the influence of osmotic pressure on the uniaxial compression mechanical properties of limestone, uniaxial compression tests were carried out on limestone specimens under different osmotic water pressure. The test results show that with the increase of osmotic pressure, the closure strain, yield strain and peak strain of limestone gradually increase, while the closure stress, yield stress, peak stress and elastic modulus gradually decrease. To describe the stress-strain response of limestone during uniaxial compression failure, the concepts of compaction factor and osmotic pressure influencing factor were proposed, and a constitutive model of rock compaction stage was established by integrating the relationship between the compaction factor and osmotic pressure influencing factor and the tangent modulus of compaction section. On this basis, combining the continuum damage mechanics theory, and assuming that the rock micro-unit strength obeys the compound power function distribution, a constitutive model reflecting the uniaxial compression mechanical properties of rock under osmotic pressure was established by the statistical method. The rationality of the model was verified using the results of the uniaxial compression test of limestone under different osmotic pressures. The results show that the test results under different osmotic pressures are in good agreement with the theoretical curves, and the model in this paper can reflect the stress-strain response of limestone before its failure under different osmotic pressures.

In this study, a test technique that enables continuous control of the sample stress state from freezing to testing is proposed to investigate the influence of freezing pressure on the mechanical properties of ice under uniaxial compression. In this method, the water is frozen into the standard cylindrical ice specimen under high hydraulic pressure in a triaxial pressure chamber, and then, the temperature field and stress field of the ice specimens are adjusted to the initial state of the test; finally, an in situ mechanical test is conducted in the triaxial chamber. The uniaxial compression test of ice specimens with temperature of −20°C and freezing pressure of 0.5–30 MPa is performed in the strain rate range of 5 × 10−5−1.5 × 10−6 s−1. The results show that, as the freezing pressure increases, the ductile-to-brittle transition zone of the ice specimen during failure moves to the low strain rate range, and the failure mode of the specimen changes from shear failure to splitting failure. Further, the brittleness index of the ice specimen first increases, then decreases, and then again increases with the increase in freezing pressure. The brittleness index reaches the maximum (minimum) when the freezing pressure is 30 MPa (20 MPa). The peak stress of the ice specimen also increases first, then decreases, and then increases with the increase in freezing pressure. The maximum value is also at the freezing pressure of 30 MPa, but the minimum value is obtained at the freezing pressure of 0.5 MPa. The failure strain of the ice specimen first decreases and then increases with the increase in freezing pressure, and the maximum (minimum) value is achieved at the freezing pressure of 0.5 MPa (10 MPa). When the ice specimen exhibits brittle failure, the relationships between the residual stress and the freezing pressure and between the peak stress and freezing pressure are the same, but when the ice specimen exhibits ductile failure, there is no obvious relationship between the residual stress and the freezing pressure.
