This paper is to investigate the strain energy evolution in the interaction between coal and rock masses with self-designed energy-absorbing props and rock bolts by numerical modeling with the finite difference method. The interaction between rock and rock bolt/prop is accomplished by the cables element and the interface between the inner and outer props. Roadway excavation and coal extraction conditions in deep mining are numerically employed to investigate deformation, plastic zone ranges, strain energy input, accumulation, dissipation,and release. The effect on strain energy input, accumulation, dissipation, and release with rock deformation, and the plastic zone is addressed. A ratio of strain energy accumulation, dissipation, and release with energy input a, β, γ is to assess the dynamic hazards. The effects on roadway excavation and coal extraction steps of a, β, γ are discussed. The results show that:(1) In deep high geo-stress roadways, the energyabsorbing support system plays a dual role in resisting deformation and reducing the scope of plastic zones in surrounding rock, as well as absorbing energy release in the surrounding rock, especially in the coal extraction state to mitigate disturbed effects.(2) The strain energy input, accumulation is dependent on roadway deformation, the strain energy dissipation is relied on plastic zone area and disturbed effects, and strain energy release density is the difference among the three. The function of energyabsorbing rock bolts and props play a key role to mitigate strain energy release density and amount, especially in coal extraction condition, with a peak density value from 4×10^(4) to 1×10^(4)J/m^(3), and amount value from 3.57×10^(8) to 1.90×10^(6)J.(3) When mining is advanced in small steps, the strain energy accumulation is dominated. While in a large step, the released energy is dominant, thus a more dynamic hazards proneness. The energy-absorbing rock bolt and prop can reduce three times strain energy release amount, thus reducing the dynamic hazards. The results suggest that energy-absorbing props and rock bolts can effectively reduce the strain energy in the coal and rock masses, and prevent rock bursts and other hazards.The numerical model developed in this study can also be used to optimize the design of energyabsorbing props and rock bolts for specific mining conditions.展开更多

The point_by_point closed method was used to calculate the closed energy, thus the disadvantage of self_inconsistency in some published papers can be avoided. The disadvantage is that the closed energy is repeatedly calculated: when closed nodal number along radial direction is more than two, the displacement of nodes behind the crack tip that is multiplied by nodal forces, the closed energy has been calculated and the crack surfaces have been closed, and that closed energy of middle point is calculated repeatedly. A DCB (double cantilever beam) specimen was calculated and compared with other theoretical results, it is shown that a better coincidence is obtained. In addition the same results are also obtained for compact tension specimen, three point bend specimen and single edge cracked specimen. In comparison with theoretical results,the error can be limited within 1 per cent. This method can be extended to analyze the fracture of composite laminates with various delamination cracks.展开更多

The pseudo strain energy density (PSED) is defined and used to build two major damage indexes, the average pseudo strain energy density (APSED) and the average pseudo strain energy density rate (APSEDR). Probability and mathematical statistics are utilized to derive a standardized damage index. Furthermore, by applying the analytic relation between the strain energy release rate and the stress intensity factor, an analytic solution of crack depth is derived. For the dynamic strain signals, the wavelet packet transform is used to pre-process measured data. Finally, a numerical simulation indicates that this method can effectively identify the damage location and its absolute severity.展开更多

The results demonstrate that the macro-residual strain energy stored at shallow levels in the rock mass in these fault zones may be partly responsible for generating many large earthquakes and may explain why the large earthquakes in this region are typically shallow.展开更多

The mechanical properties, fracture damage features, acoustic emission(AE) characteristics, and strain energy evolution of the Beishan shallow-layer granite used in triaxial unloading tests were investigated in this study. Three groups of triaxial tests, namely, conventional triaxial compression test(Group Ⅰ), maintaining deviatoric stress synchronously unloading confining pressure test(Group Ⅱ), and loading axial pressure synchronously unloading confining pressure test(Group Ⅲ), were carried out for the cylindrical granite specimens. AE monitoring device was utilized in these tests to determine the degree to which the AE waves and AE events reflected the degree of rock damage. In addition, the crack stress thresholds of the specimens were determined by volumetric strain method and AE parameter method, and strain energy evolution of the rock was explored in different damage stages. The results show that the shallow-layer granite experiences brittle failure during the triaxial loading test and unloading test, and the rock has a greater damage degree during the unloading test. The crack stress thresholds of these samples vary greatly between tests, but the threshold ratios of all samples are similar in the same crack damage stage. The Mogi-Coulomb strength criterion can better describe the unloading failure strength of the rock. The evolution of the AE parameter characteristics and strain energy differs between the specimens used in different stress path tests. The dissipative strain energy is the largest in Group Ⅱ and the smallest in Group Ⅰ.展开更多

A theoretical model for the calculation of the elastic strain energy caused by core-shell precipitates, which is applicable to materials with weak elastic anisotropy, was adopted. It was demonstrated that the partitioning of Er to the precipitate core did not reduce the elastic strain energy as expected in the previous study. The resistance due to the elastic strain energy to form an Al3(Sc0.36Ero.64)-Al3(Sc0.8Er0.2) core-shell precipitate was quite small, and could be easily overcome by the decrease of the total interracial energy, which was consistent with the previous experimental results. On the other hand, the resistance due to the elastic strain energy to form an Al3Er-Al3Sc core-shell precipitate was much larger than that to form an Al3(Sc0.36Er0.64)-Al3(Sc0.8Er0.2) core-shell precipitate, thus the partitioning of all the Er atoms to the core was strongly hindered by the elastic strain energy and was not observed in the experiment of the previous study.展开更多

文摘Cyclocarbon fully consists of sp-hybridized carbon atoms,which shows quite unusual electronic and geometric structures compared to common molecules.In this work,we systematically studied strain energy(SE)of cyclocarbons of different sizes using regression analysis method based on electronic energies evaluated at the very accurate DLPNO-CCSD(T)/ccp VTZ theoretical level.In addition,ring strain of two systems closely related to cyclocarbon,boron nitride(BN)ring,and cyclic polyacetylene(c-PA),is also explored.Very ideal relationships between SE and number of repeat units(n)are built for cyclo[2n]carbon,B_(n)N_(n),and[2n]c-PA as SE=555.0·n^(-1),145.1·n^(-1),and 629.8·n^(-1)kcal·mol^(-1),respectively,and the underlying reasons of the difference and similarity in their SEs are discussed from electronic structure perspective.In addition,force constant of harmonic potential of C-C-C angles in cyclocarbon is derived based on SE values,the result is found to be 56.23 kcal·mol^(-1)·rad^(-2).The possibility of constructing homodesmotic reactions to calculate SEs of cyclocarbons is also explored in this work,although this method is far less rigorous than the regression analysis method,its result is qualitatively correct and has the advantage of much lower computational cost.In addition,comparisons show thatωB97XD/def2-TZVP is a good inexpensive alternative to the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/cc-p VTZ for evaluating energies used in deriving SE,while the popular and very cheap B3LYP/6-31G(d)level should be used with caution for systems with global electron conjugation such as c-PA.

文摘Postoperative tunnel enlargement has been frequently reported after anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction.Interference screw,as a surgical implant in ACL reconstruction,may influence natural loading transmission and contribute to tunnel enlargement.The aims of this study are(1)to quantify the alteration of strain energy density(SED)distribution after the anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction;and(2)to characterize the influence of screw length and diameter on the degree of the SED alteration.A validated finite element model of human knee joint was used.The screw length ranging from 20 to 30 mm with screw diameter ranging from 7 to 9 mm were investigated.In the post-operative knee,the SED increased steeply at the extra-articular tunnel aperture under compressive and complex loadings,whereas the SED decreased beneath the screw shaft and nearby the intra-articular tunnel aperture.Increasing the screw length could lower the SED deprivation in the proximal part of the bone tunnel;whereas increasing either screw length or diameter could aggravate the SED deprivation in the distal part of the bone tunnel.Decreasing the elastic modulus of the screw could lower the bone SED deprivation around the screw.In consideration of both graft stability and SED alteration,a biodegradable interference screw with a long length is recommended,which could provide a beneficial mechanical environment at the distal part of the tunnel,and meanwhile decrease the bone-graft motion and synovial fluid propagation at the proximal part of the tunnel.These findings together with the clinical and histological factors could help to improve surgical outcome,and serve as a preliminary knowledge for the following study of biodegradable interference screw.
文摘Based on experimental study of the time dependence of the recoverable shape memory effect (SME)of shape memory alloys Ti50Ni50,Ti50Ni48Cu2 and Ti50Ni45Cu5 an empirical re- lationship between recoverable strain energy,U_r,and temperature,T.was derived as: U_r=U_o[1-exp(-mT_R^n)] where m—characteristic constant related to material,and n-shape-temperature sensitivity. The Johnson-Mehl-Aerami's phenomenological description of the time dependence of phase transformation was adopted to obtain a semiquantitative relationship associated with recoverable SME.between thermoelastic martensite transformation and temperature.This semiquantitative relationship is correspondent with the empirical expression.
文摘A new extrapolation approach was proposed to calculate the strain energy release rates of complex cracks. The point_by_point closed method was used to calculate the closed energy, thus the disadvantage of self_inconsistency in some published papers can be avoided. The disadvantage is that the closed energy is repeatedly calculated: when closed nodal number along radial direction is more than two, the displacement of nodes behind the crack tip that is multiplied by nodal forces, the closed energy has been calculated and the crack surfaces have been closed, and that closed energy of middle point is calculated repeatedly. A DCB (double cantilever beam) specimen was calculated and compared with other theoretical results, it is shown that a better coincidence is obtained. In addition the same results are also obtained for compact tension specimen, three point bend specimen and single edge cracked specimen. In comparison with theoretical results,the error can be limited within 1 per cent. This method can be extended to analyze the fracture of composite laminates with various delamination cracks.

文摘The effects of the nonuniform cutting force and elastic recovery of processed materials in ultra-precision machining are too complex to be treated using traditional cutting theories,and it is necessary to take account of factors such as size effects,the undeformed cutting thickness,the tool blunt radius,and the tool rake angle.Therefore,this paper proposes a new theoretical calculation model for accurately predicting the cutting force in ultra-precision machining,taking account of such factors.The model is first used to analyze the material deformation of the workpiece and the cutting force distribution along the cutting edge of a diamond tool.The size of the strain zone in different cutting deformation zones is then determined by using the distribution of strain work per unit volume and considering the characteristics of the stress distribution in these different deformation zones.Finally,the cutting force during ultra-precision machining is predicted precisely by calculating the material strain energy in different zones.A finite element analysis and experimental data on ultra-precision cutting of copper and aluminum are used to verify the predictions of the theoretical model.The results show that the error in the cutting force between the calculation results and predictions of the model is less than 14%.The effects of the rake face stress distribution of the diamond tool,the close contact zone,and material elastic recovery can be fully taken into account by the theoretical model.Thus,the proposed theoretical calculation method can effectively predict the cutting force in ultra-precision machining.

文摘Excavation and earth surface processes(e.g.,river incision)always induce the unloading of stress,which can cause the failure of rocks.To study the shear mechanical behavior of a rock sample under unloading normal stress conditions,a new stress path for direct shear tests was proposed to model the unloading of stress caused by excavation and other processes.The effects of the initial stresses(i.e.,the normal stress and shear stress before unloading)on the shear behavior and energy conversion were investigated using laboratory tests and numerical simulations.The shear strength of a rock under constant stress or under unloading normal stress conforms to the Mohr Coulomb criterion.As the initial normal stress increases,the cohesion decreases linearly and the tangent of the internal friction angle increases linearly.Compared with the results of the tests under constant normal stress,the cohesions of the rock samples under unloading normal stress are smaller and their internal friction angles are larger.A strength envelope surface can be used to describe the relationship between the initial stresses and the failure normal stress.Shear dilatancy can decrease the total energy of the direct shear test under constant normal stress or unloading normal stress,particularly when the stress levels(the initial stresses in the test under unloading normal stress or the normal stress in the test under constant normal stress)are high.The ratio of the dissipated energy to the total energy at the moment failure occurs decreases exponentially with increasing initial stresses.The direct shear test under constant normal stress can be considered to be a special case of a direct shear test under unloading normal stress with an unloading amount of zero.

文摘Based on strain signals, a new time-domain methodology for detecting the beam local damage has been developed. The pseudo strain energy density (PSED) is defined and used to build two major damage indexes, the average pseudo strain energy density (APSED) and the average pseudo strain energy density rate (APSEDR). Probability and mathematical statistics are utilized to derive a standardized damage index. Furthermore, by applying the analytic relation between the strain energy release rate and the stress intensity factor, an analytic solution of crack depth is derived. For the dynamic strain signals, the wavelet packet transform is used to pre-process measured data. Finally, a numerical simulation indicates that this method can effectively identify the damage location and its absolute severity.

文摘Based on the orthotropic elastic theory of rock masses, the X-ray method was used to measure the distribution of macro-residual strain energy density along a depth profile,using core samples taken from 47 large-aperture deep boreholes in four regions of Southwest China: the Longmenshan, Anninghe, Honghe, and Xianshuihe fault zones.Then, the vertical gradients of the macro-residual strain energy density and the macroresidual strain energy contained in high-energy cuboid block segments along each fault zone were determined. The results demonstrate that the macro-residual strain energy stored at shallow levels in the rock mass in these fault zones may be partly responsible for generating many large earthquakes and may explain why the large earthquakes in this region are typically shallow.

文摘To systematically assess the rockburst proneness considering specimen shape,multiple groups of laboratory tests were performed on 5 rock materials in cylindrical and cuboid shapes.The linear energy storage(LES)law of both cylindrical and cuboid rock specimens under uniaxial compressive load was confirmed,and the energy storage coefficient was found to be unrelated to specimen shape.On the basis of LES law,two rockburst proneness indexes,namely the strain energy storage index(W_(et))and the potential energy of elastic strain(PES),were modified.Subsequently,the W_(et),PES,peak-strength strain energy storage index(W_(et))p,and peak-strength potential energy of elastic strain(PESp)were used to assess the rockburst proneness of the cylindrical and cuboid specimens.In addition,the fragment ejection course of specimens under test was recorded by a high-speed camera.Then,the rockburst proneness judgments obtained from the 4 indexes were compared with the qualitative data during rock destruction.The results show that,under similar stress conditions,specimen shape has an ignorable effect on the rockburst proneness as a whole.The judgment accuracy of the two modified indexes,especially that of the PESp,is favorably improved to evaluate the rockburst proneness of both cylindrical and cuboid specimens.However,misjudgment ofW_(et)^(p)and PESp may still occur in the assessment of rockburst proneness as these two indexes only consider the energy state before rock peak strength and the W_(et)^(p)is formulated in a ratio form.

文摘The strain energy storage index WET was widely used to evaluate coal burst liability,but the scientific evidence for selecting the unloading stress level interval(around 80%of peak strength)remains lacking,and WET can not reflect the energy storage and dissipation ratio(ESD ratio)of the whole pre-peak stage for coal materials.In this study,these two key problems in WET calculation and application were solved based on the linear energy storage(LES)law.The LES law was defined as the linear relationship between the elastic strain energy and input strain energy for solid material during loading.Using the LES law,the elastic strain energy and dissipated strain energy of at 10 types of coals were calculated precisely,and ideal ESD ratio and general ESD ratio at any stress level will be obtained subsequently.The results also show that WET is extremely close to the ideal and general ESD ratio,which proves that the selecting stress level of WET calculation is scientific and reasonable.Furthermore,the general ESD ratio converges to the peak ESD ratio(namely peak strain energy storage index WET P)as stress level increases.Compared with WET,Wp ET not only reflects the ESD ratio of coal materials over the whole pre-peak loading stage,but also exhibits excellent stability.Consequently,Wp ET is suggested as a new evaluation index of coal burst liability.

文摘Rock has mechanical characteristics and a fracture damage mechanism that are closely related to its loading history and loading path. The mechanical properties, fracture damage features, acoustic emission(AE) characteristics, and strain energy evolution of the Beishan shallow-layer granite used in triaxial unloading tests were investigated in this study. Three groups of triaxial tests, namely, conventional triaxial compression test(Group Ⅰ), maintaining deviatoric stress synchronously unloading confining pressure test(Group Ⅱ), and loading axial pressure synchronously unloading confining pressure test(Group Ⅲ), were carried out for the cylindrical granite specimens. AE monitoring device was utilized in these tests to determine the degree to which the AE waves and AE events reflected the degree of rock damage. In addition, the crack stress thresholds of the specimens were determined by volumetric strain method and AE parameter method, and strain energy evolution of the rock was explored in different damage stages. The results show that the shallow-layer granite experiences brittle failure during the triaxial loading test and unloading test, and the rock has a greater damage degree during the unloading test. The crack stress thresholds of these samples vary greatly between tests, but the threshold ratios of all samples are similar in the same crack damage stage. The Mogi-Coulomb strength criterion can better describe the unloading failure strength of the rock. The evolution of the AE parameter characteristics and strain energy differs between the specimens used in different stress path tests. The dissipative strain energy is the largest in Group Ⅱ and the smallest in Group Ⅰ.

文摘There is an urgent need to develop optimal solutions for deformation control of deep high‐stress roadways,one of the critical problems in underground engineering.The previously proposed four‐dimensional support(hereinafter 4D support),as a new support technology,can set the roadway surrounding rock under three‐dimensional pressure in the new balanced structure,and prevent instability of surrounding rock in underground engineering.However,the influence of roadway depth and creep deformation on the surrounding rock supported by 4D support is still unknown.This study investigated the influence of roadway depth and creep deformation time on the instability of surrounding rock by analyzing the energy development.The elastic strain energy was analyzed using the program redeveloped in FLAC3D.The numerical simulation results indicate that the combined support mode of 4D roof supports and conventional side supports is highly applicable to the stability control of surrounding rock with a roadway depth exceeding 520 m.With the increase of roadway depth,4D support can effectively restrain the area and depth of plastic deformation in the surrounding rock.Further,4D support limits the accumulation range and rate of elastic strain energy as the creep deformation time increases.4D support can effectively reduce the plastic deformation of roadway surrounding rock and maintain the stability for a long deformation period of 6 months.As confirmed by in situ monitoring results,4D support is more effective for the long‐term stability control of surrounding rock than conventional support.

文摘The effect of the elastic strain energy on the core-shell structures was studied in an Al-0.06Sc-0.02Er (at.%) alloy. A theoretical model for the calculation of the elastic strain energy caused by core-shell precipitates, which is applicable to materials with weak elastic anisotropy, was adopted. It was demonstrated that the partitioning of Er to the precipitate core did not reduce the elastic strain energy as expected in the previous study. The resistance due to the elastic strain energy to form an Al3(Sc0.36Ero.64)-Al3(Sc0.8Er0.2) core-shell precipitate was quite small, and could be easily overcome by the decrease of the total interracial energy, which was consistent with the previous experimental results. On the other hand, the resistance due to the elastic strain energy to form an Al3Er-Al3Sc core-shell precipitate was much larger than that to form an Al3(Sc0.36Er0.64)-Al3(Sc0.8Er0.2) core-shell precipitate, thus the partitioning of all the Er atoms to the core was strongly hindered by the elastic strain energy and was not observed in the experiment of the previous study.
