These advantages, however, are closely related to the stress state of the bottom-hole rock; therefore, it is significant to research the stress distribution of bottom-hole rock for the correct understanding of the mechanism of rock fragmentation and high penetration rate. The stress condition of bottom-hole rock is very complicated while under the co-action of overburden pressure, horizontal in-situ stresses, drilling mud pressure, pore pressure and temperature etc. In this paper, the fully coupled simulation model is established and the effects of overburden pressure, horizontal in-situ stresses, drilling mud pressure, pore pressure and temperature on stress distribution of bottom-hole rock are studied. The research shows that: in air drilling, as the well depth increases, the more easily the bottom-hole rock is broken; the mud pressure has a great effect on the bottom hole rock. The bigger the mud pressure is, the more difficult to break the bottom-hole rock; the max principle stress of the bottom-hole increased with the increasing of mud pressure, well depth and temperature difference. The bottom-hole rock can be divided into 3 regions respectively according to the stress state, 3 direction stretch zone, 2 direction compression area and 3 direction compression zone; the corresponding fragmentation degree of difficulty is easily, normally and hardly.展开更多

The results show that there exists a linear relationship between the seepage discharge and osmotic pressure in sandstone fissure under each level of confining pressure. With the increasing in the confining pressure,the permeability of the fracture decreases,but the decreasing rate is changeing. During the unloading process,the fracture seepage velocity cannot be fully recovered to the size of the loading process. Therefore,in the unloading process of the confining pressure,the recovery of fracture permeability shows obvious hysteresis effects. The flow rate of the fracture remains unchanged during five cycles of loading and unloading processes of the confining pressure. In each cycle,the evolution character of the flow rate with the confining pressure remains unchanged. These experiments show that the seepage characteristics of sandstone and granite fractures are not the same under the same stress state.展开更多

A hexahedral element and a strain hardening/softening constitutive model based on the unified strength theory(UST) were used to simulate both the consolidated-undrained(CU) triaxial and the consolidated-drained(CD) true triaxial tests. Based on the results of the true triaxial tests simulation, the effect of the intermediate principal stress on the strength of soft rock was investigated. Finally, an example of an axial compression test for a hard rock pillar with a soft rock interlayer was analyzed using the two-dimensional finite difference code FLAC. The CD true triaxial test simulations for diatomaceous soft rock suggest the peak and residual strengths increase by 30% when the effect of the intermediate principal stress is taken into account. The axial compression for a rock pillar indicated the peak and residual strengths increase six-fold when the soft rock interlayer approached the vertical and the effect of the intermediate principal stress is taken into account.展开更多
