Viscoelasto-plastic properties of deep hard rocks under water environment

Using a circular incremental step load and unload method, a set of rheological experiments were performed to study the viscoelasto-plastic properties of amphibolite in Jinchuan No.2 diggings under different environments. Based on the scientific analysis on rheological experimental data, the viscoelasto-plastic properties of amphibolite under different environments were studied. The results show that the instantaneous elastic modulus and viscoplastic properties of amphibolite are affected little, the viscoelastic properties of amphibolite are significantly affected. Based on the experimental results and characteristics of recovered rock specimen, a generalized Kelvin model was chosen to simulate rheological properties of amphibolites and key parameters were obtained. It is found that the creep deformation modulus E1 is significantly influenced by the water, while the instant elastic modulus E2 is not significantly affected. The discreteness of the viscosity coefficient η is large, the influence of water on η is not clear and needs to be further studied.

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.

Indentation creep behaviors of Mg_(61)Cu_(28)Gd_(11) and (Mg_(61)Cu_(28)Gd_(11))_(99.5)Sb_(0.5) bulk metallic glasses at room temperature

The room temperature creep behaviors of Mg61Cu28Gd11 and（Mg61Cu28Gd11）99.5Sb0.5 bulk metallic glasses（BMGs） were revealed by means of nanoindentation technique.The creep mechanism was explored by characterization of creep rate sensitivity,creep compliance and retardation spectra.The results showed that the experimental creep curves could be well described by a generalized Kelvin model.The low creep rate sensitivity of both Mg-based BMGs indicated that their room temperature creep was dominated by localized shear flow.In addition,the（Mg61Cu28Gd11）99.5Sb0.5 glassy alloy exhibited lower creep rate sensitivity,creep compliance and milder retardation peak,indicating its higher creep-resistance and less relaxed state.Furthermore,the creep retardation spectrum consisted of two relatively separated peaks with the well defined characteristic relaxation times.
