钢纤维混凝土力学性能优化与裂纹扩展特性试验研究

为探究复掺钢纤维下混凝土力学性能和裂纹扩展特性，利用云南会泽某深部矿山现场所取的砂、石、水泥等材料制成不同钢纤维掺量的混凝土试样，通过四点弯曲、劈裂拉伸和单轴压缩等试验获取试样抗折、抗拉和抗压强度，并借助数字图像相关技术(DIC)分析试样破坏和表面应变演化特征，优选出钢纤维混凝土配方应用于矿山竖井衬砌支护。同时对观测图像进行形态学处理，求算裂纹长度与裂纹扩展速度。试验结果表明：相较于对照组，添加钢纤维后混凝土试样的抗拉强度提升了46%～83%、抗折强度提升了24%～39%。钢纤维混凝土配方中，三掺钢纤维配方(40kg/m³长纤维，5kg/m³中长纤维，10kg/m³短纤维)对混凝土抗拉、抗折强度提升效果最佳，对残余强度和韧性指数的提升幅度最大。随着钢纤维尺寸种类的增加，试样位移-荷载峰后曲线斜率逐渐降低，同时混凝土试样内部固结后形成金属网结构的孔隙度降低，混凝土试样表面剥落量和裂纹衍生数量不断减少，到达峰值荷载时试样最大主应变降低。随着钢纤维种类增加，混凝土表面裂纹扩展平均速度减缓，相对起裂应力(起裂应力与峰值应力比值)...     

不同骨料混凝土剪切断裂试验及数值分析

利用四点剪切加载的试验方法对不同骨料混凝土的双边切口试件进行了详细的试验研究。研究表明骨料不同的混凝土试件,其宏观断裂行为存在很大的不同,并且P-Δu曲线呈现出较大的差异,从而为进一步研究混凝土的断裂机理提供了参考。本文在试验研究基础上,建立了与试验模型相对应的三维有限元模型,利用有限元工程分析软件,对混凝土四点剪切的断裂力学行为进行了分析。结果表明,由于混凝土材料本身力学性能的特殊性-其抗拉强度较其抗压抗剪强度要低得多,所以裂纹尖端处的应力场分布状态是导致混凝土纯剪加载下的张拉破坏和剪切破坏的主要原因。     

岩石紧凑拉伸断裂过程及其尺寸效应的三维数值模拟

采用最近开发的三维岩石破裂过程分析软件RFPA3D模拟单边裂纹紧凑拉伸断裂过程。试验中五个不同尺寸的岩样具有相同的力学性质参数分布,模拟结果得到了裂纹扩展中的应力场、位移场和声发射的空间分布以及单边裂纹扩展贯通的过程。单边裂纹拉伸断裂的路径是一个复杂的空间三维曲面,三维裂纹比二维裂纹更为复杂。分析了岩石试样的峰值强度和试样尺寸之间的关系。随着岩样尺寸的增加,峰值强度逐渐减小,并且延性破坏特征更加明显,模拟结果满足岩石的尺寸效应规律。最后模拟了三组不同均匀性的试样拉伸破坏过程,结果表明细观上的非均匀性对岩石尺寸效应有很大影响,随着非均匀性的增加,岩石宏观强度随之提高,即使在均匀材料中一样存在尺寸效应。     

基于泛形理论的裂纹扩展路径模拟

材料断裂面的泛形特征是由于材料内部不均匀造成的．本文利用纳米压痕实验测得的弹性模量随机样本，得到了表示材料非均匀特性的Weibull统计分布参数；对含裂纹的HT250试件的裂纹扩展过程进行了基于扩展有限元法的数值模拟，在此结果上计算了裂纹扩展路径的泛形复杂度，模拟结果与试验结果吻合较好；分析了铝合金7075不同均质度对非均匀模型裂纹扩展的影响．研究结果表明，灰口铸铁的Ⅰ型裂纹扩展路径具有泛形特征，裂纹的泛形复杂度依赖于材料的非均匀性且呈负相关关系．该研究方法也适用于其他应力应变呈单值关系材料的裂纹扩展分析．     

静动组合载荷下混凝土率效应机理及强度准则

混凝土结构在受到动载荷作用之前,通常已承受着初始静载荷的作用.大量关于混凝土应变率效应的研究均没有考虑初始静载荷对动强度的影响,会导致过高地估计混凝土的动强度,使混凝土结构设计偏于危险.本文通过分析混凝土材料在静动组合载荷下的率效应机理,给出了初始静载荷的定义.在此基础上,推导了混凝土材料参数与初始静载荷和应变率的表达式,提出了建立静动组合强度准则的一般方法.通过材料参数反映初始静载荷与应变率的联合影响,给出了由初始有效静载荷、动态黏聚强度和摩擦强度共同组成的混凝土动态强度,将广义非线性强度准则发展为静动组合多轴强度准则.建立的强度面在相同初始静载荷下随应变率的增大向外扩张,在相同应变率下随初始静载荷的增大向里收缩,即混凝土的强度在相同初始静载荷下随应变率的增大而增大,在相同应变率下随初始静载荷的增大而减小.此外,当初始静载荷和应变率不变时,加载路径对混凝土材料的应变率效应无影响,但会影响混凝土材料的静水压力效应,即当初始静载荷和应变率固定不变时,静动组合强度面的位置和大小即可确定,不同加载路径下强度的不同是由于静水压力效应导致的.最后利用多组混凝土材料静动组合强度试验对建立的静动组合强度准则进行了验证.     

四点剪切加载下混凝土裂纹扩展路径研究

混凝土在四点剪切加载条件下,断裂试件失稳基本上为Ⅱ型。随着裂纹的扩展,裂纹会出现分叉、偏斜,就存在断裂路径选择问题,当裂纹由水泥砂浆垂直入侵骨料时,裂纹可能穿过骨料扩展或绕过骨料沿界面扩展．该文建立了四点剪切加载条件下,裂纹扩展路径选择模型,并以实验进行验证．     

混凝土材料宏观力学特性分析的细观单元等效化模型

提出了一种混凝土材料宏观力学特性分析的新方法—细观单元等效化模型。该方法从描述混凝土材料的细观尺度入手,采用Monte Carlo法生成由骨料颗粒及砂浆基质组成的混凝土试件的随机骨料模型;然后,依据混凝土材料特征单元尺度来剖分有限元网格并投影到建立的随机骨料模型上,各细观单元的有效力学特性则采用复合材料等效化方法来确定。本文方法体现了材料非线性宏观力学特性源于其内在的不均匀性这一认识,而对不均匀性的描述则是以网格剖分是否影响其宏观力学特性为准则。因此,本文方法较其他细观力学方法最大的优点在于极大地减小了体系自由度数目（特别是对于三维问题）,从而提高了计算效率。算例分析初步验证了本文方法的高效性。     

Strain rate effect on crack propagation in concrete

Some aspects of cracking in concrete structural elements are discussed. The flexural behaviour of precracked beams made with materials having different mechanical properties is experimentally evaluated at different deformation rates. The crack propagation in the sample is recorded with time by means of particular electric strain gauges. An interaction between ultimate tensile strength failure and brittle crack propagation is eventually pointed out.     

混凝土材料的层裂特性

粗骨料粒径对混凝土动态压缩行为的影响研究

粗骨料作为混凝土材料组成最主要的部分,对混凝土力学性能和破坏模式有着很重要的影响。为了研究粗骨料平均粒径对混凝土动态力学性能的影响规律,针对不同平均粗骨料平均粒径（6、12、24 mm）的混凝土和砂浆材料进行了一系列SHPB试验,得到了不同应变率下各试件的应力-应变曲线,并对每种材料的动态增长因子（dynamic increase factor,DIF）与应变率的对数进行了线性拟合。结果表明:砂浆和混凝土材料的抗压强度具有明显的应变率效应,其动态抗压强度随着应变率的增加而逐渐增大,应力-应变曲线呈现相似的变化趋势;在相同的动态应变率条件下,平均粗骨料粒径为12 mm的混凝土的动态抗压强度最大,这与准静态条件下砂浆抗压强度最大截然不同;不同粗骨料粒径混凝土材料的应变率强化系数均大于砂浆材料,且随着粗骨料无量纲尺寸的增大,混凝土材料的应变率强化因子呈现先增大后减小的趋势。     

Modelling of compressive behaviour of concrete-like materials at high strain rate

Uniaxial compression tests are the most common tests for characterizing the strength of concrete-like materials. The dynamic compression strength of concrete-like material is typically obtained by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) tests. The increase in material strength under dynamic loading is usually attributed to the strain rate effect and modelled with a dynamic increase factor (DIF). However, it was observed by some researchers that the radial inertial confinement caused apparent increase of dynamic strength of concrete-like specimen in SHPB tests. They attributed the material strength increase to this inertial effect, instead of the strain rate effect. In the present study, numerical analyses are performed to investigate the compressive behaviour of concrete-like material at high strain rates. A homogeneous macroscale model and a heterogeneous mesoscale model are developed in the study. In the macroscale model, the material is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic. In the mesoscale model, the test sample is modelled as a three-phase composite consisting of aggregate, mortar matrix and interfacial transaction zone (ITZ) between the aggregate and the mortar matrix. The aggregate is assumed to be circular and the ITZ is modelled as a thin boundary around the aggregate. In the both models, the materials are assumed to be insensitive to the strain rate first. Therefore, the obtained strength enhancement is only due to the inertial confinement. Strain rate sensitive material properties are then used in the two models in the calculations. Numerical simulations of the concrete samples under compression at different strain rates are carried out. The relative contribution of the inertial effect and the strain rate effect on the compressive strength DIF is examined based on the numerical results. The failure process of concrete specimen is also studied.     

Identification of Cracking Mechanisms in Scaled FRP Reinforced Concrete Beams using Acoustic Emission

Acoustic emission was used to monitor the cracking mechanisms leading to the failure of scaled concrete beams having Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) longitudinal reinforcement and no shear reinforcement. Dimensional scaling included that of the effective depth of the cross section, which is a key parameter associated with the scaling of shear strength; and maximum aggregate size, which affects the shear-resisting mechanism of aggregate interlock along shear (inclined) cracks. Five GFRP reinforced concrete (RC) beams with effective depth up to 290 mm and constant shear span-to-effective depth ratio of 3.1 were load tested under four-point bending. Two types of failures were observed: flexural, due to rupture of the GFRP reinforcement in the constant moment region; and shear, due to inclined cracking in either constant shear region through the entire section depth. Acoustic emission (AE) analyses were performed to classify crack types occurring at different points in the load history. The results of this study indicate that appropriate AE parameters can be used to discriminate between developing flexural and shear cracks irrespective of scale, and provide warning of impending failure irrespective of the failure mode (flexural and shear). In addition, AE source location enabled to accurately map crack growth and identify areas of significant damage activity. These outcomes attest to the potential of AE as a viable technique for structural health monitoring and prognosis systems and techniques.     

混凝土类材料动态压缩强度在多维应力状态下的应变率效应

对混凝土类材料动态压缩应变率效应研究的发展及问题进行了概述,对比不同应力状态下混凝土类材料动态压缩应变率效应的表现特征,揭示了不同加载路径下实测动态强度提高系数的显著差异。研究表明,在高应变率下,基于初始一维应力加载路径的试件将因横向惯性效应导致的侧向围压而演化至多维应力状态,传统霍普金森杆技术无法获得高应变率下基于真实一维应力路径的动态强度提高系数,在强度模型中直接应用实测数据将过高估计材料的动态强度。鉴于应变率效应的加载路径依赖性,将仅包含应变率的强度提高系数模型扩展至同时计及应变率和应力状态的多维应力状态模型,并结合Drucker-Prager准则在强度模型中给予了实现。针对具有自由和约束边界试件开展的数值霍普金森杆实验表明,多维应力状态下的应变率效应模型可以考虑应变率效应随应力状态改变的特点,从而准确预测该类材料的动态压缩强度。研究结果可为正确应用霍普金森杆技术确定脆性材料的动态压缩强度提供参考。     

Experimental study on crack curving propagation in bending beams under impulsive load

Dynamic fracture behaviour of crack curving in bent beams has been investigated. In order to understand the propagation mechanism of such cracks under impact, an experimental method is used that combines dynamic photoelasticity with dynamic caustics to study the interaction of the flexural waves and the crack. From the state change of the transient stresses in polymer specimen, the curving fracture in the impulsively loaded beams is analyzed. The dynamic responses of crack tips are evaluated by the stress intensity factors for the cracks running in varying curvature paths under bending stress wave.

Dynamic stress intensity factor K III and dynamic crack propagation characteristics of anisotropic materials

Based on the mechanics of anisotropic materials, the dynamic propagation problem of a mode Ⅲ crack in an infinite anisotropic body is investigated. Stress, strain and displacement around the crack tip are expressed as an analytical complex function, which can be represented in power series. Constant coefficients of series are determined by boundary conditions. Expressions of dynamic stress intensity factors for a mode Ⅲ crack are obtained. Components of dynamic stress, dynamic strain and dynamic displacement around the crack tip are derived. Crack propagation characteristics are represented by the mechanical properties of the anisotropic materials, i.e., crack propagation velocity M and the parameter ~. The faster the crack velocity is, the greater the maximums of stress components and dynamic displacement components around the crack tip are. In particular, the parameter α affects stress and dynamic displacement around the crack tip.     

Modeling dynamic brittle behavior of materials with circular flaws or pores

Compressive failure of brittle materials is driven primarily by crack growth from pre-existing flaws in the material. These flaws, such as grain boundaries, pores, preexisting cracks, inclusions and missing grains, are randomly spaced and have a range of possible shapes and sizes. The current work proposes a micromechanics-based model for compressive dynamic failure of brittle materials with circular pore flaws, which incorporates both the number density and the size distribution of flaws. Results show that the distribution of flaw sizes is very important, particularly at moderate strain rate, since analyses based solely on the mean flaw size overpredict strength. Therefore, in order to increase dynamic strength at low to moderate strain rates, it is most effective to control the presence of large flaws. At very high strain rates, however, crack growth is activated even in small flaws and therefore controlling the total number density rather than the size of the flaws is effective for increasing dynamic strength. Finally, the model shows that neglecting very small flaws in the pore population may not have significant effects on the results in many cases, suggesting that the model is a useful tool for identifying a minimum resolution required for experimental characterization of microstructure.
