水平地应力差对周期注水应力改造水力压裂影响的试验研究

为揭示地应力环境对周期注水应力改造提高压裂效果的影响规律,以黑龙江双鸭山矿区煤系页岩为研究对象,克服煤系页岩非均质性,利用相似比制作型页岩试件,开展了实验室真三轴水力压裂试验。利用声发射技术监测裂缝起裂和扩展特征,通过RA-AF散点分布特征给出了应力改造和压裂阶段主导裂缝类型,分析得到了周期注水应力改造下水平地应力差对裂缝特征以及裂缝起裂、扩展的影响规律,提出了起裂阶段与扩展阶段声发射判断指标。试验结果表明:应力改造阶段裂缝起裂与扩展以微裂缝为主,剪切型微裂缝占比波动上升,第2个周期裂缝主频范围最大,裂缝发育最为活跃;压裂阶段裂缝起裂与扩展以宏观裂缝为主,张拉型裂缝占比呈增加趋势,当水平地应力差与注水压力接近2.0MPa时,张拉型裂缝占比最大,分布范围最广,压裂效果最显著。另外,本文提出了裂缝起裂与扩展阶段声发射判断指标为平均声发射能率k。k降幅在37.74%以上时,裂缝由起裂阶段进入扩展阶段。周期注水应力改造可以减小水平地应力差对裂缝扩展的约束能力,促进微裂缝大量发育、沟通天然裂缝形成缝网,从而提高页岩气开采率。

Stability of an advancing crack to small perturbation of its path

In this work we investigate the stability of a nominally straight two-dimensional quasistatically growing crack to a small perturbation of its path. Formulae for perturbations of stress intensity factors induced by slight deviation of the crack trajectory were developed by Movchan et al. (Int. J. Solids Struct. 35, 3419) Their solution is exploited to derive an equation for the perturbation of the crack path on the assumption that the crack advances in pure “opening” mode (i.e. local K_II=0). Various types of loading conditions are considered, including a cracked body loaded by a pair of point body forces and a crack whose faces are subjected to given tractions acting in the direction normal to the crack boundary. The body is also subjected to a remotely maintained uniaxial stress, aligned with the direction of the unperturbed crack. The loading is assumed to advance as the crack advances, to maintain the critical value of Mode I stress intensity factor. Numerical computations of possible crack paths have been performed, extending results on crack stability obtained by Cotterell and Rice (Int. J. Fract. 16, 155). The results show that in the case of loading by point body forces the stability of the crack path depends on the positions of the points of application of the applied forces and the magnitude of the applied stress acting parallel to the crack. There exists a critical value of this stress such that the crack path is stable for values less than critical and unstable otherwise. It is shown that the crack is always unstable in the case of point force tractions applied normal to the crack faces.     

双槽圆形截面管角裂纹应力强度因子

弯曲载荷作用下,双槽圆形截面管的角裂纹具有两个不同的奇异应力场和相应的应力强度因子,针对该异型薄壁管裂纹问题,提出了一种简单实用的应力强度因子求解方法。即利用守恒律,通过选取适当的三维积分路径,并结合初等力学的应力位移计算方法,显化了应力强度因子对J_2积分的贡献,建立了一个求解应力强度因子的方程。由于该方程不足以求解两个应力强度因子,利用材料力学平截面保持平面的变形假设,建立了应力强度因子之间的补充方程。将J_2积分与补充方程联立求解,既可得到弯曲载荷作用下双槽圆形截面管角裂纹的应力强度因子。对于其他异型薄壁管裂纹问题,该方法同样适用,计算过程简单。     

Observation of Stress Field Around an Oscillating Crack Tip in a Quenched Thin Glass Plate

The variation of stress field around an oscillating crack tip in a quenched thin glass plate is observed using instantaneous phase-stepping photoelasticity. The successive images around the propagating crack are recorded by a CCD camera that is equipped with a pixelated micro-retarder array. Then, the phase maps of the principal stress difference and the principal direction are easily obtained even though the photoelastic fringes cannot be visualized. The path of the crack growth as well as the stress intensity factors and the crack tip constraint are obtained from these phase distributions. Results show that the mode I stress intensity factor and the crack tip constraint vary remarkably with the crack growth. In addition, the results show that the mode-II stress intensity factor exists even though the crack propagates smoothly.

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.     

Mixed-Mode Dynamic Crack Growth in Functionally Graded Glass-Filled Epoxy

Compositionally graded glass-filled epoxy sheets with edge cracks initially along the gradient are studied under dynamic loading conditions. Specimens with monotonically varying volume fraction of reinforcement are subjected to mixed-mode loading by eccentric impact relative to the crack plane. The optical method of Coherent Gradient Sensing and high-speed photography are used to map transient crack tip deformations before and after crack initiation. Two configurations, one with a crack on the stiffer side of a graded sheet and the second with a crack on the compliant side, are examined experimentally. To elucidate the differences in fracture behavior due to functional grading, a homogeneous sample is also tested. The differences in both pre- and post-crack initiation behaviors are observed interms of crack initiation time, crack path, crack speed and stress intensity factor histories. When a crack is situated on the compliant side of the sample, it kinks significantly less compared to when it is on the stiffer side. Crack tip mode mixity histories show small but positive values during crack growth from the stiffer side of the sample towards the compliant side whereas a small but negative mode mixity prevails for the opposite configuration.     

Dynamics of crack penetration vs. branching at a weak interface: An experimental study

In this paper, the dynamic crack-interface interactions and the related mechanics of crack penetration vs. branching at a weak interface are studied experimentally. The interface is oriented perpendicular to the incoming mode-I crack in an otherwise homogeneous bilayer. The focus of this investigation is on the effect of interface location and the associated crack-tip parameters within the bilayer on the mechanics of the ensuing fracture behavior based on the optical methodologies laid down in Ref. Sundaram and Tippur (2016). Time-resolved optical measurement of crack-tip deformations, velocity and stress intensity factor histories in different bilayer configurations is performed using Digital Gradient Sensing (DGS) technique in conjunction with high-speed photography. The results show that the crack path selection at the interface and subsequently the second layer are greatly affected by the location of the interface within the geometry. Using optically measured fracture parameters, the mechanics of crack penetration and branching are explained. Counter to the intuition, a dynamically growing mode-I approaching a weak interface at a lower velocity and stress intensity factor penetrates the interface whereas a higher velocity and stress intensity factor counterpart gets trapped by the interface producing branched daughter cracks until they kink out into the next layer. An interesting empirical observation based on measured crack-tip parameters for crack penetration and branching is also made.
