Effect of dry-wet cycles on dynamic properties and microstructures of sandstone:Experiments and modelling

Underground pumped storage power plant(UPSP)is an innovative concept for space recycling of abandoned mines.Its realization requires better understanding of the dynamic performance and durability of reservoir rock.This paper conducted ultrasonic detection,split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)impact,mercury intrusion porosimetry(MIP),and backscatter electron observation(BSE)tests to investigate the dynamical behaviour and microstructure of sandstone with cyclical dry-wet damage.A coupling FEM-DEM model was constructed for reappearing mesoscopic structure damage.The results show that dry-wet cycles decrease the dynamic compressive strength(DCS)with a maximum reduction of 39.40%,the elastic limit strength is reduced from 41.75 to 25.62 MPa.The sieved fragments obtain the highest crack growth rate during the 23rd dry-wet cycle with a predictable life of 25 cycles for each rock particle.The pore fractal features of the macropores and micro-meso pores show great differences between the early and late cycles,which verifies the computational statistics analysis of particle deterioration.The numerical results show that the failure patterns are governed by the strain in pre-peak stage and the shear cracks are dominant.The dry-wet cycles reduce the energy transfer efficiency and lead to the discretization of force chain and crack fields.

Constitutive model of rock under static-dynamic coupling loading and experimental investigation

The importance of study on constitutive model of statically loaded rock experiencing dynamic load is set forth, and the studying methods on dynamic constitutive model are classified according to the current studying status. By way of combining statistic damage model and viscoelastic model, uni-axial and multi-axial constitutive models of statically loaded rock experiencing dynamic load (static-dynamic coupling constitutive model) under intermediate strain rate are established. The verification experiment on 2D constitutive model under different static stress and dynamic stress with different frequencies is designed and performed. It is found that there is a good agreement between the experimental stress-strain curves and the theoretical stress-strain curves.

Calibration of coupled hydro-mechanical properties of grain-based model for simulating fracture process and associated pore pressure evolution in excavation damage zone around deep tunnels

The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for calibration of a discrete element grain-based model(GBM)to replicate the hydro-mechanical properties of a brittle rock measured in the laboratory,and to apply the calibrated model to simulating the formation of excavation damage zone(EDZ)around underground excavations.Firstly,a new cohesive crack model is implemented into the universal distinct element code(UDEC)to control the fracturing behaviour of materials under various loading modes.Next,a methodology for calibration of the components of the UDEC-Voronoi model is discussed.The role of connectivity of induced microcracks on increasing the permeability of laboratory-scale samples is investigated.The calibrated samples are used to investigate the influence of pore fluid pressure on weakening the drained strength of the laboratory-scale rock.The validity of the Terzaghi’s effective stress law for the drained peak strength of low-porosity rock is tested by performing a series of biaxial compression test simulations.Finally,the evolution of damage and pore pressure around two unsupported circular tunnels in crystalline granitic rock is studied.

Thermal-hydro-mechanical coupling damage model of brittle rock

Based on fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and damage mechanics, thermal-hydro-mechanical(THM) coupling damage model of brittle rock is established by analyzing THM coupling mechanism, where THM coupling damage variable DTHM is dominated by TH coupling damage variable DTH, TM coupling damage variable DTM and HM coupling damage variable DHM, and DTH is firstly expressed in term of dimensionless total thermal conductivity of the water Nu. Permeability test, uni-axial compression test and THM coupling test are conducted to measure the permeability, elastic modulus and THM coupling stress-strain curves of brittle rock. The tested values of THM coupling elastic modulus THME? are in good agreement with the predicted values of THM coupling elastic modulus ETHM, which can verify the newly established THM coupling damage model.

Permeability and pressure distribution characteristics of the roadway surrounding rock in the damaged zone of an excavation

Research on the permeability and pressure distribution characteristics of the roadway surrounding rock in the excavation damaged zone(EDZ) is beneficial for the development of gas control technology. In this study, analytical solutions of stress and strain of the roadway surrounding rock were obtained, in which the creep deformation and strain softening were considered. Using the MTS815 rock mechanics testing system and a gas permeability testing system, permeability tests were conducted in the complete stress-strain process, and the evolution characteristics of permeability and strain were studied over the whole loading process. Based on the analytical solutions of stress and strain and the governing equation of gas seepage flow, this paper proposes a hydro-mechanical(HM) model, which considers three different zones around the roadway. Then the gas flow process in the roadway surrounding rock in three different zones was simulated according to the engineering geological conditions, thus obtaining the permeability and pressure distribution characteristics of the roadway surrounding rock in three different zones. These results show that the surrounding rock around the roadway can be divided into four regions-the full flow zone(FFZ), flow-shielding zone(FSZ), transitive flow zone(TFZ), and in-situ rock flow zone(IRFZ). These results could provide theoretical guidance for the improvement of gas extraction and gas control technology.

Fluid solid coupling model based on endochronic damage for roller compacted concrete dam

According to the characteristics of thin-layer rolling and pouring construction technology and the complicated mechanical behavior of the roller compacted concrete dam(RCCD)construction interface,a constitutive model of endochronic damage was established based on the endochronic theory and damage mechanics.The proposed model abandons the traditional concept of elastic-plastic yield surface and can better reflect the real behavior of rolled control concrete.Basic equations were proposed for the fluid solid coupling analysis,and the relationships among the corresponding key physical parameters were also put forward.One three-dimensional finite element method(FEM)program was obtained by studying the FEM type of the seepage-stress coupling intersection of the RCCD.The method was applied to an actual project,and the results show that the fluid solid interaction influences dam deformation and dam abutment stability,which is in accordance with practice.Therefore,this model provides a new method for revealing the mechanical behavior of RCCD under the coupling field.

Seepage-Stress-Damage Coupled Model of Coal Under Geo-Stress Influence

In the seepage-stress-damage coupled process,the mechanical properties and seepage characteristics of coal are distinctly different between pre-peak stage and post-peak stage.This difference is mainly caused by damage of coal.Therefore,in the process of seepage and stress analysis of coal under the influence of excavation or mining,we need to consider the weakening of mechanical properties and the development of fractures of damaged coal.Based on this understanding,this paper analyzes the influence of damage on mechanics and seepage behavior of coal.A coupled model is established to analyze the seepage-stress-damage coupled process of coal.This model implemented into COMSOL and MATLAB software to realize the numerical solving.Two examples are adopted to verify the correctness of the model and some useful conclusions are obtained.The numerical model establishes the relationship between microcosmic damage evolution and macroscopical fracture and simulates the whole process of coal from microcosmic damage to macroscopical fracture,and the dynamic simulation of fluid flow in this process.It provides a numerical tool for further research on the seepage-stress-damage analysis.
