Acoustic emission source location considering refraction in layered media with cylindrical surface

To solve the problem that the existing acoustic emission(AE) source location algorithms cannot always obtain accurate results for multilayer cylindrical media,a new acoustic emission source location method considering refraction was proposed.AE source coordinates were solved by the complex method.Pencil-lead-break experiments were used to verify this method.The absolute distance errors of location results are less than 3 mm,much less than those by the traditional method.The numerical experiments were used to further analyze factors that affect location accuracy.The results of numerical experiments show that the location accuracy of the proposed method is not affected by the ratio of wave velocities but affected by the measurement accuracy of wave velocity.These results show that new method can obtain accurate AE source location in the two-layered cylindrical surface media such as the triaxial compression test.

Influence of interface morphology on dynamic behavior and energy dissipation of bi-material discs

To investigate the dynamic behavior and energy dissipation of the rock−concrete interface,dynamic splitting tests on bi-material discs were conducted by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar.The test results reveal that with the change of the interface inclination angles(θ),the influence of interface groove width on the bearing capacity of specimens also varies.Whenθincreases from 0°to 30°,the bearing capacity of the specimen increases first and then decreases with the rise of the interface groove width;the optimal groove width on the rock surface in this range of interface inclination angles is 5 mm.Whenθincreases from 45°to 90°,the bearing capacity of the specimen has no obvious change.Moreover,whenθincreases from 0°to 45°,the dissipated energy of the specimens rises obviously at first and then tends to be stable as the width of the interface groove increases.
