孔隙结构特征及发育程度对溶蚀岩体力学特性的影响

溶蚀岩体具有明显的多相复合性质,其细观溶蚀孔隙与微裂纹会对岩体宏观力学特性产生显著影响,而针对孔隙结构特征对溶蚀岩体力学影响的研究并不多见.首先基于岩体溶蚀损伤演化机制研究的文献资料,将溶蚀岩体孔隙结构分为虫洞型与蜂窝型,采用颗粒流模拟手段,建立具有不同孔隙结构特征的溶蚀岩体的颗粒流模型;从细观力学角度分析孔隙结构特征及其发育程度对岩体力学行为特性的影响;分析孔隙结构特征对溶蚀岩体受载损伤演化、岩体破坏模式及破坏机理的影响.数值模拟结果表明,溶蚀岩体孔隙结构特征对岩体力学行为特性存在较大影响.对于具有不同孔隙结构特征的溶蚀岩体而言,其力学特性对岩溶发育程度的敏感性不同.实际工程中仅以孔隙率这一宏观等效指标来评价溶蚀岩体并不完善,应进一步考虑孔隙结构特征对岩体受载过程中力学特性的影响.

Creep characteristic simulation of deep soft rock roadway and long-term mechanical analysis of lining support

By the generalized Kelvin creep model,rheological characteristics of deep softrock and long-term mechanical behaviors of support structures were simulated.Mechanicaldeformation characteristics of support structures under different lining circumstanceswere also analyzed on the basis of deducing the relationship between the generalizedKelvin creep model and implicit creep equations in ANSYS FEM software.The resultsshow that high stress of deep tunnels is the main factor in creep damage;the surroundingrock's deformation binding effect due to lining increases as the thickness increases but theeffect becomes very weak when it increases to a certain value;contact pressure on thelining decreases as its thickness decreases.

Curing and mechanical property of single-componentpolyurethane porous elastic mixture

The viscosity-time curve of a single-component polyurethane(PU)was examined to determine the mixing and compacting temperatures of its mixture and investigate the curing and mechanical properties of single-component PU porous elastic mixture(PPEM).The curing properties of the single-component PU and PPEM were studied with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)and Marshall test.The mechanical properties of PPEM were explored via the following tests:rutting test,3-point bending test,soaked Marshall stability test,freeze-thaw splitting test,and Cantabro test.The effects of a water bath on the stability of aggregate-PU/asphalt mortar-aggregate systems were evaluated through a pull-out test and a shear test.The results show that the recommended mixing temperatures of toluene diisocyanate and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate range from 75 to 80℃and from 64 to 68℃,respectively.Room temperature(25℃)can be adopted as the compacting temperature of PPEM.PPEM can be fully cured in 4 d.Nevertheless,the water sprinkle method can obviously shorten the full curing time of PPEM.PPEM exhibites good resistance to rutting,brittle cracking,and raveling.The adhesive and shear strength of aggregate-PU/asphalt mortar-aggregate systems are negatively related to water bath duration.

A novel non-overlapping approach to accurately represent 2D arbitrary particles for DEM modelling

Mechanical behaviors of granular materials are complicated and greatly influenced by the particle shape.Current,some composite approaches have been proposed for realistic particle shape modelling within discrete element method(DEM),while they cannot give a good representation to the shape and mass properties of a real particle.In this work,a novel algorithm is developed to model an arbitrary particle using a cluster of non-overlapping disks.The algorithm mainly consists of two components:boundary filling and domain filling.In the boundary filling,some disks are placed along the boundary for a precise representation of the particle shape,and some more disks are placed in the domain to give an approximation to the mass properties of the particle in the domain filling.Besides,a simple method is proposed to correct the mass properties of a cluster after domain filling and reduce the number of the disks in a cluster for lower computational load.Moreover,it is another great merit of the algorithm that a cluster generated by the algorithm can be used to simulate the particle breakage because of no overlaps between the disks in a cluster.Finally,several examples are used to show the robust performance of the algorithm.A current FORTRAN version of the algorithm is available by contacting the author.

Effects of different pull-out loading rates on mechanical behaviors and acoustic emission responses of fully grouted bolts

Due to the influence of mining disturbance stress,it is of great significance to better understand the bearing characteristics of fully grouted bolts under different pull-out loading rates.For this purpose,a series of laboratory pull-out tests were conducted to comprehensively investigate the effects of different pull-out loading rates on the mechanical performance and failure characteristics of fully grouted bolts.The results show that the mechanical performance of the anchored specimen presents obvious loading rate dependence and shear enhancement characteristics.With the increase of the pull-out loading rates,the maximum pull-out load increases,the displacement and time corresponding to the maximum pull-out load decrease.The accumulated acoustic emission(AE)counts,AE energy and AE events all decrease with the increase of the pull-out loading rates.The AE peak frequency has obvious divisional distribution characteristics and the amplitude is mainly distributed between 50-80 dB.With the increase of the pull-out loading rates,the local strain of the anchoring interface increases and the failure of the anchoring interface transfers to the interior of the resin grout.The accumulated AE counts are used to evaluate the damage parameter of the anchoring interface during the whole pull-out process.The analytical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.The research results may provide guidance for the support design and performance monitoring of fully grouted bolts.

A numerical study of macro-mesoscopic mechanical properties of gangue backfill under biaxial compression

Based on the Particle Flow Code(PFC^(2D)) program,we set up gangue backfill models with different gangue contents and bond strength,and studied the stress-strain behaviours,the pattern of shear band and force chains,motion and fragmentation of particles under biaxial compression.The results show that when the bond strength or contents of gangue are high,the peak strength is high and the phenomena of post-peak softening and fluctuation are obvious.When gangue contents are low,the shape of the shear band is symmetrical and most strong force chains transfer in soil particles.With an increase in gangue content,the shape of the shear band becomes irregular and the majority of strong force chains turn to transfer in gangue particles gradually,most of which distribute along the axial direction.When the gangue content is higher than 50%,the interconnectivity of strong force chains decreases gradually:at the same time,the strong force chains become tilted and the stability of the system tends to decrease.With an increase in external loading,the coordination numbers of the system increase at first and then decrease and the main pattern of force chains changes into columnar from annular.However,after the forming of the advantageous shear band,the force chains external to the shear band maintain their columnar shape while the inner ones bend obviously.As a result,annular force chains form.

Mechanical Behavior of Concrete Block Masonry

The main objective of this study is to verify, through compression tests on different prisms, the vertical and horizontal deformability and the failure modes of the components of concrete blocks under compression. In this study two mortar mixes were tested, along with two types of prism, with and without the presence of a vertical joint. The conclusions were： the appearance of non-linearities of the masonry corresponds to an increase in the lateral strain due to extensive cracking of the material and a progressive increase in the Poisson ratio, the cracks in the three-block prisms built with the mortar type I were vertical, occurring symmetrically on both sides; the prisms built with mortar type II had, as a consequence of localized crushing, an association with vertical cracks due to the concentrations of stresses at some points, the presence of a vertical joint led to the appearance of separation cracks between the middle block and the vertical mortar joint, when the stress reached approximately 30% of the compressive strength of the set; the prisms with two whole blocks and one vertical joint （B） built with the mortars of mixes I and II had a compressive strength of the order of 42% and 66% of the prisms with three whole blocks （A）, respectively.

Multiply Kink and Anti-Kink Solutions for a Coupled Camassa–Holm Type Equation

This article amis at revealing dynamical behavior of a coupled Camassa–Holm type equation, which was proposed by Geng and Wang based on a 4×4 matrix spectral problem with two potentials. Its kink and anti-kink solutions are presented explicitly. In particular, some exact multi-kink and anti-kink wave solutions are discussed and under some conditions, the kink and anti-kinks look like hat-shape solitons. The dynamic characters of the obtained solutions are investigated by figures. The method used in this paper can be widely applied to looking for the multi-kinks for Camassa–Holm type equations possessing cubic nonlinearity.
