In this paper, an experimental-theoretical method is suggested for defining physical-mechanical characteristics of polymer materials with regard to influence of corrosive liquid media. Experimental dependences of mechanical characteristics on a swelling function are given for a series of polymer materials. One dimensional and three-dimensional linear-elastic models of body deformation with regard to influence of corrosive liquid media are suggested. A new phenomenon, bulging of a polymer strip rigidly fastened by both ends because of swilling forces, is established. The stability criterion is given for a strip made of a polymer material situated under the action of swelling forces only.

Coupon tests were conducted to investigate the mechanical characteristics of basalt FRP (BFRP) sheet, basalt-carbon hybrid FRP sheets and the corresponding epoxy rein under the effect of freeze-thaw cycling. FRP sheets and epoxy rein coupons were subjected to up to 200 and 250 freeze-thaw cycles respectively. Test parameters included the number of freeze-thaw cycles and the types of FRP composites. Test results show that (1) BFRP sheet perform better than CFRP or GFRP sheets under high freeze-thaw cycles; (2) exposed hybrid FRP sheets not only show very little loss in mechanical properties, but also contribute to the stability of test data; (3) mechanical properties of rein epoxy decrease significantly with increasing freeze-thaw cycles.

The authors present a procedure for the analysis of the stability and propagation of cracks in arch dams based on linear elastic fracture mechanics. A finite element method was used to calculate the stress intensity factors(KⅠ, KⅡ and KⅢ) of crack in the concrete arch dam, and fracture analysis for arch dams was carried out, which based on the criterion of three-dimensional mixed mode fracture of concrete from the experiment. The analysis method can be applied to evaluate the safety of the arch dam and improve the design for arch dam.

An experiment on the static and dynamic tensile mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) elastomers is conducted using an Instron-5943 universal testing machine and an improved Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar to study the dynamic tensile mechanical properties of PVC elastomer materials. The stress-strain curves of PVC materials with three types of Shore hardness (57A, 52A, and 47A) under the strain rates of 0.1 s−1 and 400 ∼ 1800 s−1 are obtained. Results show that the mechanical behavior of PVC elastomer materials with different Shore hardness has remarkable linear elastic characteristics under the action of quasistatic tensile load. It has substantial sensitivity to strain rate and viscoelastic mechanical characteristics under the action of dynamic tensile load. The Zhu–Wang–Tang nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive model is used to characterize the viscoelastic mechanical characteristics with small error. This paper can provide theoretical model and method support for the design, development, production, and reliability analysis of PVC elastomers and other soft polymer materials.

A Continuum (filled polymer) is inhomogeneous and anisotropic. The Continuum is used in an injection moulding simulation at first (generally unnewton type of fluid). Then the continuum is solid (after cooling) and it is possible to carry out ordinary structural analysis with it both static and dynamic. The solid continuum has different mechanical properties for each of discrete element. The consequent values of mechanical characteristics (after simulation of load) will generally have different values when influence of injection moulding is taken into account for analyses.

To design novel polymer materials with optimal properties relevant to industrial usage, it would seem logical to modify polymers with reportedly good functionality, such as polyimides (PIs). We have created a set of PI-based nanocomposites containing binary blends of CeO2 with carbon nanoparticles (nanocones/discs or nanofibres), to improve a number of functional characteristics of the PIs. The prime novelty of this study is in a search for a synergistic effect amidst the nanofiller moieties regarding the thermal and the mechanical properties of PIs. In this paper, we report on the structure, thermal, and mechanical characteristics of the PI-based nanocomposites with binary fillers. We have found that, with a certain composition, the functional performance of a material can be substantially improved. For example, a PI containing SO2-groups in its macrochains not only had its thermal stability enhanced (by ~20 °C, 10% weight loss up to 533 °C) but also had its stiffness increased by more than 10% (Young’s modulus as high as 2.9–3.0 GPa) in comparison with the matrix PI. In the case of a PI with no sulfonic groups, binary fillers increased stiffness of the polymer above its glass transition temperature, thereby widening its working temperature range. The mechanisms of these phenomena are discussed. Thus, this study could contribute to the design of new composite materials with controllable and improved functionality.

In south China, residual soil is widely distributed and one of the most main soil in engineering construction at the coastal areas. While its mechanical characteristics are easily affected by moisture content, which is a serious threat to engineering stability and safety. In this paper, granite residual soil in a construction site of Xiamen is selected as remoulded specimens, and unconfined compressive strength test and static triaxial shear test are used, which will show the influence of moisture content (20%, 23% and 26%) on the mechanical properties of specimens. As the result is analyzed, it shows that mechanical properties such as stress-strain relationship, unconfined compression strength, internal cohesive force, internal friction angle, and shear strength, are better than other specimens when the moisture content is 23%, which will be beneficial to the stability and security of engineering soil.

There are few studies on the management methods of large-scale goaf groups per the specific surrounding rock mass conditions of each goaf. This paper evaluates comprehensively the stability of the multistage large-scale goaf group in a Pb-Zn mine in Inner Mongolia, China, via the modified Mathews stability diagram technique. The volume of each goaf to be backfilled was quantitatively analyzed in the combination of theoretical analysis and three-dimensional laser scanning technology. The corresponding mechanical characteristics of the filling were determined by laboratory testing while formulating the treatment scheme of the large goaf group using the backfill method. The applicability of the treatment scheme using the backfill was verified by the combination of the numerical results of the distribution of the surrounding rock failure zone and the monitored data of the surface subsidence. The research results and treatment scheme using the backfill can provide a reference for similar conditions of mines worldwide.

Geological tectonic movements, as well as complex and varying coal-forming conditions, have led to the formation of rock partings in most coal seams. Consequently, the coal in coal-rock composites is characterised by different mechanical properties than those of pure coal. Uniaxial compression tests were performed in this study to determine the mechanical properties and bursting liability of specimens of coal-rock composites (hereinafter referred to as “composites”) with rock partings with different dip angles θ and thicknesses D. The results showed that as θ increased, the failure mode of the composite changed from tensile and splitting failure to slip and shear failure, which was accompanied by a decrease in the brittleness of the composite and an increase in its ductility as well as a decrease in the extent of fragmentation of the coal in the composite. Additionally, as θ increased, the uniaxial compressive strength σu, elastic modulus E, and bursting energy index Ke of the composite decreased. The rock parting in the composite was the key area in which elastic energy accumulated. As D increased, σu, E, and Ke of the composite increased. In addition, as D increased, the ductility of the composite decreased, and the brittleness and extent of coal fragmentation in the composite increased. Notably, the curve for the cumulative acoustic emission (AE) counts of the composite corresponding to the stress-strain curve could be divided into four regimes: pore compaction and closure, a slowly ascending linear elastic section, prepeak steady crack propagation, and peak unsteady crack propagation. The experimental results were used to propose two technologies for controlling the stability of coal-rock composites to effectively ensure safe and efficient production at working faces.
