Understanding the dynamic mechanical behaviors and microstructural properties of outburst-prone coal is significant for preventing coal and gas outbursts during underground mining. In this paper, the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests were completed to study the strength and micro-structures of outburst-prone coal subjected to compressive impact loading. Two suites of coals—outburst-prone and outburst-resistant—were selected as the experimental specimens. The characteristics of dynamic strength, failure processes, fragment distribution, and microstructure evolution were analyzed based on the obtained stress-strain curves, failed fragments, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images. Results showed that the dynamic compressive strength inclined linearly with the applied strain rate approximately. The obtained dynamic stress-strain responses could be represented by a typical curve with stages of compression, linear elasticity, microcrack evolution, unstable crack propagation, and rapid rapture. When the loading rate was relatively low, fragments fell in tension. With an increase in loading rates, the fragments fell predominantly in shear. The equivalent particle size of coal fragments decreased with the applied strain rate. The Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of outburst-prone coal was smaller than that of resistant coal, resulting in its smaller equivalent particle size of coal fragments. Moreover, the impact loading accelerated the propagation of fractures within the specimen, which enhanced the connectivity within the porous coal. The outburst-prone coal with behaviors of low strength and sudden increase of permeability could easily initiate gas outbursts.

Abstract Straining electrode experiments were performed to investigate the nature of strain enhanced corrosion of iron in caustic electrolyte. The strain enhanced corrosion rate was generally linearly dependent on applied strain rate, and its potential dependence paralleled that of steady-state polarization behavior on non-straining electrodes. Data was presented as ratios, in which is the corrosion rate in cm/s and is the corresponding strain rate. This ratio, which was shown in a previously published theory to be numerically equal to the crack advance per film rupture event during film rupture SCC, depended on electrochemical variables such as electrolyte concentration and temperature in a manner similar to the kinetics of caustic cracking. Conditions which are known to be marginal in producing caustic cracking resulted in values for of about 10−7 cm, in excellent agreement with a previously developed theory. It was concluded that strain enhanced corrosion in this system results from repetitive film rupture and repair during straining.

The mechanical behavior of two composites, i.e., CF3031/QY8911 (CQ, hereafter in this paper) and EW100A/BA9916 (EB, hereafter in this paper), under dynamic loadings were carefully studied by using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The results show that compressive strength of CQ increases with increasing strain-rates, while for EB the compressive strength at strain-rate 1500/s is lower then that at 800/s or 400/s. More interestingly, most of the stress strain curves of both of the two composites are not monotonous but exhibit double-peak shape. To identify this unusual phenominon, a high speed photographic system is introduced. The deformation as well as fracture characteristics of the composites under dynamic loadings were captured. The photoes indicate that two different failure mechanisms work during dynamic fracture process. The first one is axial splitting between the fiber and the matrix and the second one is overall shear. The interficial strength between the fiber and matrix, which is also strain rate dependent, determines the fracture modes and the shape of the stress/strain curves.

Filler-related characteristic such as particle size, shape and geometry are essential factors that need to be considered during the evaluation of the material’s performance especially in the area of particle filled composites. However, there is limited number of works are reported on this particular issue under high strain rate condition. Based on this concern, the paper presents an experimental results on the effect of particle sizes towards rate sensitivity and dynamic compressive properties of polypropylene/silica nanocomposites across strain rate from 10-2to 10-3s-1. The composite specimens were tested using universal testing machine for static loading and a compression split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus for dynamic loading. Results show that, the stiffness and strength properties of polypropylene/silica nanocomposites were affected by the size of silica particles. However, the magnitudes of changed are somehow different between micro and nanosizes. On the other hand, particle size also plays a major contribution towards sensitivity of the polypropylene/silica nanocomposites where the smaller the reinforcement sizes, the less sensitive would be the composites. Overall, it is convenience to say that the particle size gives significant contribution towards rate sensitivity and dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene/silica nanocomposites.

The stability of coal-pillar dams in underground hydraulic engineering works is affected not only by long-term water erosion but also by dynamic loading induced, for example, by roof breaking or fault slipping. In this paper, the water absorption characteristics of coal samples from western China were studied by nondestructive immersion tests, and a high-speed camera was used to monitor SHPB tests on samples of varying water content and subjected to various strain rates. Besides, the coal-pillar dam is numerically simulated based on the experimental data and the actual engineering conditions. The results show that, given low strain rate and high water content, the compaction stage accounts for most of the stress-strain curve, whereas the elastic stage accounts for only a relatively small fraction of the stress-strain curve. The dynamic compressive strength and elastic modulus follow exponential and logarithmic functions of strain rate, respectively, exhibiting a significant positive correlation. As the water content increases, the dynamic elastic modulus increases almost linearly, and the compressive strength decreases gradually. Under the same impact load, samples with greater water content fail more rapidly, and the failure is exacerbated by the propagation of parallel cracks to staggered cracks. The average size of coal fragments decreases linearly with increasing strain rate and water content. Simulations indicate that dynamic loading increases the stress concentration on both sides of the dam and expands the high-stress area and plastic zone. The results provide guidance for designing waterproof coal pillars and underground reservoir dams.

Dynamic Compressive Strength

Based on the sandstone from the slope of Baorixile open-pit mining area in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia, the dynamic uniaxial compression test of sandstone with different freeze-thaw cycles has been carried out by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar test (SHPB). The test results show that the crushing degree of sandstone becomes serious with the freeze-thaw cycle times and strain rate increases. The dynamic compressive strength increases with the raise of strain rate under the same freeze-thaw cycles, while it reduces with the increases of freeze-thaw cycles at the same strain rate. It is found that the 10 freeze-thaw cycles are an obvious inflection point. When it is less than 10 cycles, the dynamic compressive strength of sandstone specimens decreases rapidly, it is more than 10 cycles, and the strength decreases gradually. This is due to that the evolution progress of pores in sandstone is more uniform after a certain number of freeze-thaw cycles. Meantime, the effect of freezing and thawing is mostly restrained by the pore evolution. On the other hand, the dissipated energy required for sandstone failure grows up with the increase of the number of freeze-thaw cycles. It shows that more energy is needed for the engender of pores and fractures in sandstone caused by freeze-thaw cycle. This led to the deterioration of sandstone structural stability and the decrease of dynamic mechanical properties.

Tmj Disc

Previous dynamic analyses of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc have not included a true preload, i.e., a step stress or strain beyond the initial tare load. However, due to the highly nonlinear stress-strain response of the TMJ disc, we hypothesized that the dynamic mechanical properties would greatly depend on the preload, which could then, in part, account for the large variation in the tensile stiffnesses reported for the TMJ disc in the literature. This study is the first to report the dynamic mechanical properties as a function of prestress. As hypothesized, the storage modulus (E′) of the disc varied by a factor of 25 in the mediolateral direction and a factor of 200 in the anteroposterior direction, depending on the prestress. Multiple constant strain rate sweeps were extracted and superimposed via strain-rate frequency superposition (SRFS), which demonstrated that the strain rate amplitude and strain rate were both important factors in determining the TMJ disc material properties, which is an effect not typically seen with synthetic materials. The presented analysis demonstrated, for the first time, the applicability of viscoelastic models, previously applied to synthetic polymer materials, to a complex hierarchical biomaterial such as the TMJ disc, providing a uniquely comprehensive way to capture the viscoelastic response of biological materials. Finally, we emphasize that the use of a preload, preferably which falls within the linear region of the stress-strain curve, is critical to provide reproducible results for tensile analysis of musculoskeletal tissues. Therefore, we recommend that future dynamic mechanical analyses of the TMJ disc be performed at a controlled prestress corresponding to a strain range of 5–10%.
