Damage evolution and crack propagation in rocks with dual elliptic flaws in compression

To give an insight into the understanding of damage evolution and crack propagation in rocks,a series of uniaxial and biaxial compression numerical tests are carried out.The investigations show that damage evolution occurs firstly in the weak rock,the area around the flaw and the area between the flaw and the neighboring rock layer.Cracks mostly generate as tensile cracks under uniaxial compression and shear cracks under biaxial compression.Crack patterns are classified and divided.The relationship between the accumulated lateral displacement and the short radius(b)is fitted,and the equation of crack path is also established.     

Spontaneous Mixed-Mode Fracture in Bonded Similar and Dissimilar Materials

In this paper, we report on an experimental study of spontaneous, mixed-mode, crack propagation in weakly bonded similar and dissimilar materials. A unique experimental configuration is proposed to induce spontaneous crack growth events along the interfaces. The cracks nucleate from tiny circular holes and are triggered by an exploding wire. They subsequently propagate under the action of a constant, far-field load. Dynamic photoelasticity in conjunction with high speed photography is used to capture the real-time isochromatics associated with crack propagation. In the case of identical materials, crack propagation is anti-symmetric with respect to the crack nucleation point while strong asymmetry is observed for the case of dissimilar materials. In both cases, cracks propagate at constant velocity from the initiation point. The time histories of dynamic stress intensity factors and of energy release rates of the propagating cracks along the bonded similar materials are also reported.

裂纹的聚集、扩展、分叉是岩石等脆性材料破坏失效的关键因素，本文在验证了近场动力学方法在研究岩石类材料裂纹动态扩展方面的有效性之后，采用近场动力学方法分别对冲击载荷作用下含有双裂纹岩石材料和单轴压缩作用下含单斜裂纹的岩石材料进行数值模拟．结果表明，对于双垂直裂纹，其裂纹扩展路径大致与预制裂纹成70°夹角；对于单裂纹，裂纹的扩展路径随裂纹倾角的变化而变化，最终导致构件的整体破坏．数值模拟结果表明近场动力学方法可以很好地模拟岩石等脆性材料的裂纹扩展直至破坏的过程，反映裂纹扩展的物理机理；其作为一种新的基于非局部理论的数值方法，在地下岩体工程方面及页岩气的开采方面会有很好的发展前景．     

Brittle fracture dynamics with arbitrary paths. II. Dynamic crack branching under general antiplane loading

The dynamic propagation of a bifurcated crack under antiplane loading is considered. The dependence of the stress intensity factor just after branching is given as a function of the stress intensity factor just before branching, the branching angle and the instantaneous velocity of the crack tip. The jump in the dynamic energy release rate due to the branching process is also computed. Similar to the single crack case, a growth criterion for a branched crack is applied. It is based on the equality between the energy flux into each propagating tip and the surface energy which is added as a result of this propagation. It is shown that the minimum speed of the initial single crack which allows branching is equal to 0.39c, where c is the shear wave speed. At the branching threshold, the corresponding bifurcated cracks start their propagation at a vanishing speed with a branching angle of approximately 40°.

Mode III Stress-intensity factors in cracked orthotropic plates—An analogy with propagating cracks in isotropic media

In this paper, the method of reflected caustics—which was used to evaluate Mode III SIF's in stationary cracks in isotropic plates—was extended to deal with stationary cracks in orthotropic plates. Furthermore, a correspondence between the anisotropic stationary case and the case of a Mode III dynamic crack, traversing an isotropic plate, is developed by analyzing appropriately the governing equations of the two problems. For this purpose the singulardisplacement field for rectilinearly orthotropic cracked bodies was combined with either Yoffé's model for steady-state, or Broberg's model for transient-crack propagation. Graphs are given where the equivalence between these cases can be established. In this way, the dynamic problem of the propagating crack in an isotropic medium can be readily simulated by considering the experimentally easier anisotropic stationary case.     

不同应变率下蓝宝石透明陶瓷玻璃的力学响应

蓝宝石（A1₂O₃）是透明陶瓷玻璃,它相较传统陶瓷（A1₂O₃）有优良的透光性,而且保留了陶瓷优良的力学性能。利用电子拉伸机和分离式霍普金森杆设备对试样进行准静态应变率为(10?4、10?3、10?2 s?1)和4种动态应变率(850、1 100、1 300、1 450 s?1)下的单轴压缩力学行为,用高速摄像机记录了蓝宝石透明陶瓷玻璃试样在准静态和动态压缩下的破坏过程。实验结果表明:从加载过程中的应力应变曲线是由加载段和失效段组成的,该材料是典型的脆性材料,并且有明显的应变率效应,随着应变率的提高,蓝宝石透明陶瓷玻璃的抗压强度也会提高;准静态和动态压缩下蓝宝石透明陶瓷玻璃都是在宏观裂纹扩展作用下失效破坏。通过分析不同应变率下蓝宝石透明陶瓷玻璃的破坏过程,分析得到该材料的失效是在加载的过程中,在蓝宝石透明陶瓷玻璃承载能力最低的区域出现裂纹源,然后裂纹成形并沿着加载方向扩展,然后裂纹之间相互交错,最终达到饱和状态破坏失效;在高应变率下,极短的时间内产生多处裂纹源,需要更大的能量去使裂纹成形、扩展,宏观上就表现为应变率效应。     

冲击载荷下两裂纹间的连通规律

脆性材料内部含有大量裂纹,当某一裂纹扩展时,其他裂纹会对扩展裂纹产生影响。为了研究冲击载荷下,脆性材料内两裂纹的相互影响、连通规律及裂纹尖端应力强度因子的变化规律,利用有机玻璃板制作了含非平行双裂纹的实验试件,利用落板冲击设备进行了中低速冲击实验,结合有限元分析软件ABAQUS计算出裂纹尖端应力强度因子,利用有限差分软件AUTODYN进行了动态数值模拟研究,并将其模拟结果与实验结果进行对比分析。实验及模拟结果表明:裂纹破坏形态与AUTODYN数值模拟破坏形态基本一致;试件的断裂形态随着两裂纹间距不同而不同;裂纹间的相互影响程度随着裂纹间间距增大而减小;裂纹尖端应力强度因子K_I随着裂纹间距的增大而减小,而K_II随着裂纹间距增大而增大。     

巴西圆盘泥岩试件裂纹扩展及应变演化实验研究

为了研究准静态加载条件下岩石试件巴西劈裂裂纹扩展规律,采用MTS试验机进行准静态加载,同时用高速摄像机记录裂纹扩展过程。采用白光数字散斑处理软件对摄像机记录的照片进行处理,得到试件裂纹扩展过程中应变场的演化情况。通过实验和分析可以看出,由于端部效应及加载方式的原因,因此裂纹起裂点在底部加载部位;泥岩试件表面裂纹的平均扩展速度为252m/s;岩石的非均质性即内部微缺陷、微裂纹使得泥岩试样的开裂并不是沿着中心直径方向,而是偏离一定的角度,初始偏离角度约为17°。裂纹扩展过程可以划分为三个阶段:泥岩试件宏观变形阶段(宏观无裂纹)、宏观裂纹稳定扩展阶段、宏观裂纹动态张裂阶段。同时,在裂纹扩展过程中,表面第一主应变场、水平位移场等变化明显,在开裂部位第一主应变最大。通过对圆盘泥岩试件裂纹扩展实验研究,可为研究岩石破裂及其演化规律提供依据。     

爆炸荷载作用下两平行裂纹对扩展中裂纹的影响规律

用实验和数值模拟方法,研究在爆炸载荷下岩体内部一对平行裂纹对扩展主裂纹的影响规律。实验中,采用带有中心装药孔及预制裂纹的砂岩圆盘试件,利用由示波器、超动态应变仪及裂纹扩展计所组成的测试系统,监测主裂纹扩展速度和扩展距离;数值模拟中,采用了AUTODYN软件进行,模拟了主裂纹及两平行裂纹的扩展规律,对岩石材料,采用线性状态方程及最大拉应力失效准则,并在两平行裂纹间设置相应的观测点记录应力曲线。通过实验与数值模拟分析,得到:爆炸载荷下,紧随冲击波后的稀疏波经过两平行裂纹面反射后变成压缩波,并在两平行裂纹间产生垂直于主裂纹扩展方向的压应力,对裂纹的扩展有压制、止裂作用;而且,这种压应力的大小与两平行裂纹的间距有关,进而导致了不同的止裂效果,影响裂纹的扩展速度及最终扩展长度。

Transition of mode II cracks from sub-Rayleigh to intersonic speeds in the presence of favorable heterogeneity

Understanding sub-Rayleigh-to-intersonic transition of mode II cracks is a fundamental problem in fracture mechanics with important practical implications for earthquake dynamics and seismic radiation. In the Burridge-Andrews mechanism, an intersonic daughter crack nucleates, for sufficiently high prestress, at the shear stress peak traveling with the shear wave speed in front of the main crack. We find that sub-Rayleigh-to-intersonic transition and sustained intersonic propagation occurs in a number of other models that subject developing cracks to intersonic loading fields. We consider a spontaneously expanding sub-Rayleigh crack (or main crack) which advances, along a planar interface with linear slip-weakening friction, towards a place of favorable heterogeneity, such as a preexisting subcritical crack or a small patch of higher prestress (similar behavior is expected for a small patch of lower static strength). For a range of model parameters, a secondary dynamic crack nucleates at the heterogeneity and acquires intersonic speeds due to the intersonic stress field propagating in front of the main crack. Transition to intersonic speeds occurs directly at the tip of the secondary crack, with the tip accelerating rapidly to values numerically equal to the Rayleigh wave speed and then abruptly jumping to an intersonic speed. Models with favorable heterogeneity achieve intersonic transition and propagation for much lower prestress levels than the ones implied by the Burridge-Andrews mechanism and have transition distances that depend on the position of heterogeneity. We investigate the dependence of intersonic transition and subsequent crack propagation on model parameters and discuss implications for earthquake dynamics.     

Dynamic crack curving and branching under biaxial loading

A 16-spark-gap camera was used to record the dynamic photoelastic patterns of ten centrally cracked, Homalite-100 specimens which fractured under ten initial biaxial-stress ratios ranging from 3.7 to 0, some of which do not exist in normal fracture specimens. The dynamic photoelastic patterns of curved cracks were used to verify the previously developed dynamic-crack-curving criterion. Cracks which immediately curved upon propagation in three specimens under abnormally high inital biaxial loading were used to verify the static counterpart of the dynamic-crack-curving criterion under these extreme loading conditions. A previously developed dynamic-crack-branching criterion was also verified by four dynamic photoelastic results involving cracks which eventually branched under the lower initial biaxial loading.     

Mechanics of crack propagation in materials with initial (residual) stresses (review)

Major results on the mechanics of crack propagation in materials with initial (residual) stresses are analyzed. The case of straight cracks of constant width that propagate at a constant speed in a material with initial (residual) stresses acting along the cracks is examined. The results were obtained, based on linearized solid mechanics, in a universal form for isotropic and orthotropic, compressible and incompressible elastic materials with an arbitrary elastic potential in the cases of finite (large) and small initial strains. The stresses and displacements in the linearized theory are expressed in terms of analytical functions of complex variables when solving dynamic plane and antiplane problems. These complex variables depend on the crack propagation rate and the material properties. The exact solutions analyzed were obtained for growing (mode I, II, III) cracks and the case of wedging by using methods of complex variable theory, such as Riemann–Hilbert problem methods and the Keldysh–Sedov formula. As the initial (residual) stresses tend to zero, these exact solutions of linearized solid mechanics transform into the respective exact solutions of classical linear solid mechanics based on the Muskhelishvili, Lekhnitskii, and Galin complex representations. New mechanical effects in the dynamic problems under consideration are analyzed. The influence of initial (residual) stresses and crack propagation rate is established. In addition, the following two related problems are briefly analyzed within the framework of linearized solid mechanics: growing cracks at the interface of two materials with initial (residual) stresses and brittle fracture under compression along cracks     

Influence of flaw inclination angle and loading condition on crack initiation and propagation

With reference to the experimental observation of crack initiation and propagation from pre-existing flaws in rock specimens under compression, the influences of pre-existing flaw inclination angle on the cracking processes were analyzed by means of finite element method (FEM) and non-linear dynamics method. FEM analysis on the stress field distribution induced by the presence of a pre-existing flaw provided better understanding for the influence of flaw inclination angle on the initiation position and initiation angle of the potential cracks. Numerical analysis based on the non-linear dynamics method was performed to simulate the cracking processes. The resultant crack types, crack initiation sequences and the overall crack pattern were different under different loading conditions. Under a relatively low loading rate or a small magnitude of maximum loading pressure, tensile cracks would tend to initiate prior to shear cracks. In contrast, under a relatively high loading rate and a large magnitude of maximum loading pressure, shear cracks would tend to initiate prior to tensile cracks instead.     

Brittle fracture dynamics with arbitrary paths I. Kinking of a dynamic crack in general antiplane loading

We present a new method for determining the elasto-dynamic stress fields associated with the propagation of anti-plane kinked or branched cracks. Our approach allows the exact calculation of the corresponding dynamic stress intensity factors. The latter are very important quantities in dynamic brittle fracture mechanics, since they determine the crack path and eventual branching instabilities. As a first illustration, we consider a semi-infinite anti-plane straight crack, initially propagating at a given time-dependent velocity, that changes instantaneously both its direction and its speed of propagation. We will give the explicit dependence of the stress intensity factor just after kinking as a function of the stress intensity factor just before kinking, the kinking angle and the instantaneous velocity of the crack tip.     

爆炸应力波与裂纹作用实验研究

为研究爆炸应力波与裂纹相互作用机理,利用透射式爆炸动态焦散线光学实验系统研究了预制水平静态裂纹和切缝药包炮孔爆破产生的水平运动裂纹受正入射爆炸动载作用后动态特性的变化规律。结果表明:正入射爆炸应力波与静止裂纹作用时,爆炸应力波P波使得裂纹先闭合后张开,S波在裂纹壁面形成波浪状散斑上下交替向外扩展;运动裂纹尖端应力场对静止裂纹的起裂和扩展有重要影响。后爆孔爆炸应力波对先爆孔产生的水平定向运动裂纹尖端动力学特性影响显著。当爆炸应力波与运动裂纹同向时,P波使得裂纹扩展速度和应力强度因子KI^d先减小后增大,S波促进了裂纹的扩展,波与裂纹作用之后,裂纹扩展速度增大;当爆炸应力波与运动裂纹反向时,P波抑制了运动裂纹的扩展,波与裂纹作用之后,裂纹扩展速度和应力强度因子KI^d均逐渐降低。
