Properties of rocks tested in one-dimensional compression

An apparatus has been developed and used to obtain static stress-strain data on rock and soil samples in one-dimensional compression. This paper describes the design and method of use, and reports test results obtained on several types of rock and sand specimens. A 4-in.-diam specimen with height up to 2 in. is contained in a thin-walled steel cylinder. This cylinder is contained in the main pressure vessel which has a pressure cavity surrounding the specimen. Load is applied through a load cell on top of the specimen by a hydraulic press. An operator maintains a constant zero balance on strain gages bonded to the thin, steel cylinder containing the specimen by pumping hydraulic fluid into the pressure cavity, thus nullifying the tendency of the test specimen to expand laterally as it is compressed axially. Axial load and deflection are recorded on anx?y plotter from signals received from the load cell and a deflectometer mounted on the load cell. This apparatus has been successfully used to obtain data on rocks to axial stresses of 75,000 psi and on sand to 30,000 psi. Test data for both rocks and sand are presented in this paper.     

杆式冲击装置测定材料动态J积分

本文介绍了一种研究材料动态断裂韧度的实验技术。该方法采用冲击杆对常规三点弯曲试件进行动态加载。由于长杆条件下存在荷载、位移及冲击速度之间的定量关系,试验中只需对荷载的时间历程进行测定,就能间接地计算出位移和J积分值。与目前广泛使用的示波摆锤(落锤)冲击法相比,不仅测试过程明显简化,而且力学分析的基础也更为可靠。     

低速冲击下混凝土少筋梁断裂性能

动态加载下,混凝土中钢筋的阻裂性能一直是冲击动力学研究领域的难点之一。利用落锤试验机对含缺口的混凝土少筋梁进行三点弯曲试验,分析了不同加载速率下梁的冲击力、跨中挠度、混凝土起裂应变率和钢筋应变。实验结果表明:在一定加载速率范围内（0.885～1.252 m/s）,混凝土预制裂缝尖端的裂纹起裂应变率、冲击力最大值、跨中挠度峰值与加载速率呈线性增长关系,当加载速率增至1.771 m/s时,增长趋势减弱;冲击力卸载时,钢筋部分弹性变形恢复导致裂纹产生闭合,裂纹嘴张开位移逐渐减小至恒定值,对裂纹嘴张开位移峰值前的部分曲线进行拟合后得到裂纹嘴张开位移率,结果表明裂纹嘴张开位移率随加载速率的提高而线性增大。

Mechanical characterization of sisal reinforced cement mortar

This work aims at evaluating the mechanical behavior of sisal fiber reinforced cement mortar. The composite material was produced from a mixture of sand, cement, and water. Sisal fibers were added to the mixture in different lengths. Mechanical characterization of both the composite and the plain mortar was carried out using three point bend, compression, and impact tests. Specimens containing notches of different root radii were loaded in three point bending in an effort to determine the effect of the fibers on the fracture toughness of the material. The results obtained indicate that, while fiber reinforcement leads to a decrease in compressive strength, J-integral calculations at maximum load for the different notch root radii have indicated, particularly for the case of long fibers, a significant superiority of the reinforced material in comparison with the plain cement mortar, in consistence with the impact test data.     

Study of the mechanical properties of plain concrete under dynamic loading

A new testing methodology based on the Hopkinson bar principle is proposed for studying globally and locally the mechanical properties of plain concrete at a high strain rate. A Hopkinson bar bundle measures the local mechanical characteristics over the cross section of a large specimen of plain concrete subjected to impact loading. With this method, more accurate measurements of the stress-strain diagram are obtained, especially during the fracturing phase of the concrete specimen.

A74-mm-diameter Split Hopkinson pressure bar was used to carry out the dynamic compression experiment of concrete made of desert sand.The dynamic failure processes of concrete different in specimen size,impact velocity,desert sand replacement ratio,size and volume content of coarse aggregate were simulated.Research results showed that concrete made of desert sand had size-effect and was rate-dependent.The peak stress of concrete made of desert sand declined with the minimum size of coarse aggregate.However,the peak stress of concrete made of desert sand increased first,and then declined with the volume content and maximum size of coarse aggregate.     

Load-Inversion Device for the High Strain Rate Tensile Testing of Sheet Materials with Hopkinson Pressure Bars

A high strain rate tensile testing technique for sheet materials is presented which makes use of a split Hopkinson pressure bar system in conjunction with a load inversion device. With compressive loads applied to its boundaries, the load inversion device introduces tension into a sheet specimen. Two output bars are used to minimize the effect of bending waves on the output force measurement. A Digital Image Correlation (DIC) algorithm is used to determine the strain history in the specimen gage section based on high speed video imaging. Detailed finite element analysis of the experimental set-up is performed to validate the design of the load inversion device. It is shown that under the assumption of perfect alignment and slip-free attachment of the specimen, the measured stress–strain curve is free from spurious oscillations at a strain rate of 1,000 s^?1. Validation experiments are carried out using tensile specimens extracted from 1.4 thick TRIP780 steel sheets. The experimental results for uniaxial tension at strain rates ranging from 200 s^?1 to 1,000 s^?1 confirm the oscillation-free numerical results in an approximate manner. Dynamic tension experiments are also performed on notched specimens to illustrate the validity of the proposed experimental technique for characterizing the effect of strain rate on the onset of ductile fracture in sheet materials.

3D打印混凝土各向异性力学性能研究

近年来,混凝土3D打印技术在土木建筑等领域取得了快速的发展和应用。与模板浇筑工艺不同,3D打印在逐行逐层堆叠的建造过程中引入了一定量的层间弱面和空隙,造成了细观非均质性;而且3D打印过程无法自动嵌入钢筋,制备纤维混凝土作为打印材料可有效改善力学性能。本文首先制备了一种适用于挤出型3D打印工艺的玄武岩纤维增强陶砂混凝土,将水平打印层作为XY平面,然后从三个正交方向加载,实验测试了3D打印混凝土的抗压、抗弯等力学性能,提出了各向异性系数及其评估方法。研究结果表明,对于单轴压缩,X方向强度最高,而对于抗弯性能,Y方向强度最高。纤维对挤出型3D打印材料的各向异性影响较大,纤维掺量越大,各向异性越大。     

Stiffness and hysteretic energy loss of a reinforced-concrete shear wall

A static, cyclic test of one of the largest reinforced concrete shear walls to be investigated in a laboratory is reported. The test was performed to study the dynamic characteristics (stiffness and hysteretic energy loss) of the shear wall. Very sensitive displacement gages are needed to measure the small deformations. The large forces required to load the structure make the test results susceptible to deformation of the support fixture. With these concerns in mind, instrumentation and data-reduction methods were developed that could separate model deformations from displacements caused by support motion. Also, model displacements were separated into shear and bending components. Results showed that prior to cracking, overall stiffness as well as the individual components of stiffness are accurately predicted by mechanics of materials beam theory that accounts for shear deformation. Equivalent viscous damping ratios that were determined from the hysteretic energy before and after cracking were similar.     

Effects of boundary conditions and anisotropy on elastically bent silicon

In four-point bending, the rollers that are used for load application impose additional constraints on the specimen that affect the anticlastic specimen curvature and cause the specimen displacement and stress profiles to deviate from the pure beam bending case. In this study, x-ray microdiffraction is used to map both the principal and anticlastic curvatures of elastically bent, rectangular (100)-type Si strips possessing width:thickness ratios of 40:1. We quantify the amount of roller constraint and show that the region over which the anticlastic specimen curvature is affected away from the roller is approximately five times the roller diameter. Consequently, for bending tests used to determine Poisson's ratio, if a region on the sample that is free from roller effects is not chosen, measurement errors as high as 46% can occur. Furthermore, we show that, due to the anisotropy of single crystal Si, this roller-constraining effect depends on crystallographic orientation and is more pronounced when the principal bending axis lies along the <100> direction as compared with the <100> direction.     

A Combined Theoretical/Experimental Approach for Reducing Ringing Artifacts in Low Dynamic Testing with Servo-hydraulic Load Frames

One of the most challenging tasks facing computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis is the acquisition of accurate tensile test data that spans quasi-static to low dynamic (10^?5/s?≤ $ \overset{.}{\varepsilon } $ ≤5?×?10²/s) strain rates ( $ \overset{.}{\varepsilon } $ ). Critical to the accuracy of data acquired over the low dynamic range is the reduction of ringing artifacts in flow data. Ringing artifacts, which are a consequence of the inertial response of the load frame, are spurious oscillations that can obscure the desired material response (i.e. load vs. time or load vs. displacement) from which flow data are derived. These oscillations tend to grow with increasing strain rate and peak at the high end of the low dynamic range on servo-hydraulic tensile test frames. Common practices for addressing ringing are data filtering, which is often problematic since filtering introduces distortion in smoothed material data, or trial-and-error design of test specimen geometries. This renders techniques for reducing ringing based upon the mechanics of the load frame and optimization of tensile specimen geometry quite attractive. In the present paper, relationships between load, stress wave propagation, and specimen geometries are addressed, to both quantify ringing and to develop specimen designs that will reduce ringing. A combined theoretical/experimental approach for tensile specimen design was developed for reducing ringing in flow data over the low dynamic range of strain rates (10^?5/s≤ $ \overset{.}{\varepsilon } $ ≤5?×?10²/s). The single camera digital image correlation (DIC) method was used to measure the displacement fields and strain rates with specimens resulting from the combined theoretical/experimental approach. While the approach was developed on a specific commercial load frame with a TRIP steel subject to a two-step quenching and partitioning heat treatment (Q&P980), it is readily adaptable to other servo-hydraulic load frames and metallic alloys. The developed approach results in a 90 % reduction in ringing artifact (with no filtering) in a tensile flow curve for Q&P980 at $ \overset{.}{\varepsilon}\kern-4pt $ = 5?×?10²/s. Results from split Hopkinson bar tests of Q&P980 were performed at $ \overset{.}{\varepsilon } $ = 500/s and compare favorably with the test data generated by the developed testing approach. Since the Q&P980 steel represents a new generation of advanced high strength steels, we also evaluated its strain rate sensitivity over the low dynamic range.

为了研究角钢约束混凝土中长柱在轴压荷载作用下的力学性能,以长细比、缀板间距、混凝土强度等级为变化参数,完成了8个试件的静力加载试验。通过试验观察了试件的破坏形态,获取了其极限承载力、刚度、位移延性和耗能系数等力学性能指标;分析了各变化参数对力学性能指标的影响,利用统一强度理论、极限理论和叠加理论对试件的承载力进行计算。研究结果表明:长细比越小越容易发生柱端破坏,长细比加大后易发生柱中破坏;减小缀板间距,试件的极限承载力和变形能力均得到提高。随着混凝土强度等级的提高,试件的极限承载能力和初始弹性刚度得以提高,但位移延性和耗能能力有所降低。采用统一强度理论的计算值略大于试验值,采用极限分析理论和叠加理论的计算值均小于试验值。
