Abstract The stability of coal-rock composite structures is of great significance to coal mine safety production. To study the stability and deformation failure characteristics of the coal-rock composite structure, the uniaxial cyclic loading tests of the coal-rock composite structures with different coal-rock height ratios were carried out. Lithology and coal-rock height ratio play an important role in the energy dissipation of coal-rock composite structures. The higher the coal-rock height ratio, the greater the average elastic energy and dissipated energy produced per cycle of coal-rock composite structures, the smaller the total elastic energy and dissipated energy produced in the process of cyclic loading. Based on the difference of damage variables calculated by dissipative energy method and acoustic emission method, a more sensitive joint calculation method for calculating damage variable was proposed. The joint damage variable calculation method can more accurately and sensitively reflect the damage of coal-rock composite structure under cyclic loading. The macroscopic crack first appears in the coal specimen in the coal-rock composite structure, the degree of broken coal specimens in the composite structure is inversely proportional to the coal-rock height ratio. The strength and deformation characteristics of the coal-rock composite structure are mainly affected by coal sample in the composite structure.

The loading modes and roof lithology have a significant influence on the mechanical properties of coal seams. To reveal the failure modes and energy evolution law of underground coal during the mining process, conventional uniaxial and uniaxial cyclic loading tests were carried out on three types of samples: coal, rock, and coal-rock combinations. The results show that the samples mainly behave with three failure modes (shear slip, tensile splitting, and fracture), and all the coal sections in the coal-rock combinations fail, whereas most rock sections remain intact. The compressive strength of the coal-rock combination is higher than coal and much smaller than rock. Compared with the conventional uniaxial loading condition, both the maximum deformation before failure and Young’s modulus under the cyclic loading condition are greater, and the latter increases quadratically with the cycle index. The energy densities are also calculated, and their variations are analysed in detail. The results show that with increasing cycle index, both the elastic energy stored in the sample and the dissipated energy increase in a quadratic function, and the failure process becomes more intense. This research reveals the failure modes, deformation characteristics, and energy evolution of the coal-rock combination under different loading conditions, which can provide strong support for controlling underground surrounding rocks of the coal face and roadway in coalmines.

Many geological engineering hazards are closely related to the dynamic mechanical behaviors of rock materials. However, the dynamic mechanical behaviors of phyllite are less studied. In this study, we have carried out a series of triaxial cyclic tests on dry and water-saturated phyllite by employing the MTS 815 servohydraulic testing system and AE testing equipment to reveal the mechanical behavior, energy release, and crack distribution characteristics of phyllite. Results show that phyllite is a water-sensitive rock. Water and cyclic loading substantially affect the compressive strength, crack damage stress, deformation parameters, dilatancy, energy release, and crack distribution characteristics of phyllite. Furthermore, based on the dissipated energy, a new damage variable for phyllite is established. The critical damage variable for phyllite is approximately 0.80; this variable can be used as an index to predict the failure of phyllite. The water saturation effect of phyllite is very obvious; that is, it results in the weakness of mechanical properties of phyllite and changes the AE energy release and crack distribution characteristics of phyllite. This research can provide guidance for engineering construction and disaster prevention and control.

The triaxial cyclic loading and unloading test was carried out on a TAW-2000 rock mechanics to study the permeability characteristics of deep-buried sandstone. This paper analyzed the evolution laws of permeability, elastic modulus, rock damage, dissipated energy, and acoustic emission events of sandstone under different confining pressures. It also introduced the concept of relative strain and further discussed the relationship between relative strain and permeability. The test results showed that the permeability of sandstone under cyclic loading and unloading obviously experienced three stages. At a low strain level, the damage degree of sandstone was low. As a result, both the number of acoustic emission events and the proportion of the dissipated energy density were small. In this stage, with increasing the stress, the permeability decreased. With the increase of the relative strain, the propagation of fissure increased through rock interior and the damage of rock was accumulated. Consequently, the number of acoustic emission events grew slowly, and the proportion of dissipated energy density and the damage variable (D) increased gradually. In this stage, the permeability increases. As the axial strain reached the peak strain, the fissures developed into cracks and the rock failure happened. The number of acoustic emission events increased rapidly; both the proportion of the dissipated energy density and the damage variable (D) obtain the maximum value. In this stage, the permeability increased greatly. In this study, the point of fissure propagation of rock specimens was used as the point of demarcation. Before the fissures propagated, the permeability increased slowly and it was in accordance with a linear function. After the fissures propagated, the degree of rock damage increased, and the permeability increased in the form of an exponential function. The larger the confining pressure was, the smaller the relative strain corresponding to the point of fissure propagation was.

It is generally acknowledged that the failure of the layer-crack structure is closely related to rock bursts (a layer-crack structure means a coal or rock rib that is cut by fractures that are parallel or sub-parallel to the surface of the rib). Understanding the mechanical behavior of the layer-crack structure under cyclic loading is beneficial for rock burst mitigation. This study experimentally investigated the influence of the geometry of vertical fissure (i.e., width, length and number) on the mechanical properties of layer-crack rock specimens. The results show that the sensitivity of parameters with respect to the geometry of the fissure from strong to weak is the number, length and width. First, the peak stress under cyclic loading increases by approximately 7.82%–17.35%, thereby exerting an obvious strengthening effect. Second, the fissure geometry slightly affects the energy evolution of the layer-crack specimen, i.e., the input energy density, elastic energy density and dissipated energy density all gradually increase with the increase of the number of cycles. However, when approaching a specimen failure, the increasing rates from quick to slow are the dissipated energy, input energy and elastic energy. Third, the damage variable of the layer-crack specimen shows a concave increasing trend with the increase of the number of cycles. When the number of cycles is equal, the damage increases with the increase of the number of fissures, but it decreases with the increase of the fissure length. Fourth, AE events occur shortly before specimen failures, but rapidly increase near the specimen failures. The accumulated AE events that lead to specimen failures decrease with the increase in the number of fissures. These results can provide some basic data for the research of rock bursts related to the failures of layer-crack structures.

To explore the influence of confining pressure on the energy evolution characteristics of loaded rocks, triaxial cyclic loading-unloading experiments on sandstones were carried out under 6 kinds of confining pressures using the axial loading and circumferential deforming control modes. Total energy density, elastic energy density, and dissipated energy density absorbed by rock specimens under different confining pressures were obtained. The confining pressure effect of the evolution process and distribution law in energy accumulation and dissipation was analyzed. Energy conversion mechanism from rock deformation to failure was revealed, and energy conversion equations in different stress-strain stages were established. The method of representing the rock energy accumulation, dissipation, and release behaviors by energy storage limit density, maximum dissipated energy density, and residual elastic energy density was established. The rock showed that, with the increase of confining pressure, the characteristic energy density of rock increased in the power exponent form, and the energy storage limit density increased faster than the maximum dissipated energy density. The greater the confining pressure was, the greater the proportion of elastic energy before peak was. It is indicated that the confining pressure increased the energy inputting intensity, improved the energy accumulating efficiency, and inhibited the energy releasing degree.

Most of Russian research about composite structure fire resistance are dedicated to the composite slab behavior. The composite beams fire resistance had been never investigated in enough volume: the temperature evaluation within the scope of the actual Russian design codes leads to the significant reduction in the shear connection strength. Meanwhile, there no correlation between the strength decreasing and type of the shear connection. The article provides an overview of the relevant researches and offers some approaches which could take into account bearing capacity reduction of the shear connectors within composite structures design.

Aiming at solving the NVH problem in vehicles, a novel composite structure is proposed. The new structure uses a hollow-stub phononic-crystal with filled cylinders (HPFC) plate. Any unit in the plate consists of a lead head, a silicon rubber body, an aluminum base as outer column and an opposite arranged inner pole. The dispersion curves are investigated by numerical simulations and the influences of structural parameters are discussed, including traditional hollow radius, thickness, height ratio, and the new proposed filling ratio. Three new arrays are created and their spectrum maps are calculated. In the dispersion simulation results, new branches are observed. The new branches would move towards lower frequency zone and the band gap width enlarges as the filling ratio decreases. The transmission spectrum results show that the new design can realize three different multiplexing arrays for waveguides and also extend the locally resonant sonic band gap. In summary, the proposed HPFC structure could meet the requirement for noise guiding and filtering. Compared to a traditional phononic crystal plate, this new composite structure may be more suitable for noise reduction in rail or road vehicles.
