A review of rock macro-indentation:Theories,experiments,simulations,and applications

Rock macro-indentation plays a fundamental role in mechanical rock breaking for various rock engineering application,such as drilling,tunneling,cutting,and sawing.Over the past decades,extensive research has been conducted to understand the indentation mechanisms and responses through various approaches.This review aims to provide an overview of the current status and recent advancements in theories,experiments,numerical simulations,and applications of macro-indentation in rock engineering.It starts with elaborating on the mechanisms of macro-indentation,followed by a discussion of the merits and limitations of commonly used models.Influence factors and their effects on indentation test results are then summarized.Various numerical simulation methods for rock macro-indentation are highlighted,along with their advantages and disadvantages.Subsequently,the applications of indentation tests and indentation indices in characterizing rock properties are explored.It reveals that compression-tension,compression-shear,and composite models are widely employed in rock macroindentation.While the compression-tension model is straightforward to use,it may overlook the anisotropic properties of rocks.On the other hand,the composite model provides a more comprehensive description of rock indentation but requires complex calculations.Additionally,factors,such as indentation rate,indenter geometry,rock type,specimen size,and confining pressure,can significantly influence the indentation results.Simulation methods for macro-indentation encompass continuous medium,discontinuous medium,and continuous-discontinuous medium methods,with selection based on their differences in principle.Furthermore,rock macro-indentation can be practically applied to mining engineering,tunneling engineering,and petroleum drilling engineering.Indentation indices serve as valuable tools for characterizing rock strength,brittleness,and drillability.This review sheds light on the development of rock macro-indentation and its extensive application in engineering practice.Specialists in the field can gain a comprehensive understanding of the indentation process and its potential in various rock engineering endeavors.

基于大变形升阻锚索深埋巷道围岩稳定性控制研究

研发了一种新型大变形升阻锚索支护结构,通过串联6个壁厚5 mm含环形V槽的直管型钢结构实现锚索吸能让压,吸能率为44.55 J/g。拉拔试验结果表明新型锚索极限变形量(221.58 mm)与普通传统锚索相比增加了4.87倍,具有大变形、增阻及高吸能等优良性能。通过离散元UDEC程序的二次开发,模拟了新型大变形增阻锚索支护阻力−变形曲线的双弹性阶段。采用新型锚索对深埋巷道围岩支护效果数值模拟结果表明,与无支护及传统锚索支护相比,顶板下沉量分别减小了88.33%与74.64%,稳定状态下最大主应力峰值分别减小了23.15%与18.34%,塑性区厚度分别减小了37.50%与62.50%。最后将新型大变形增阻锚索成功应用于真实巷道,两帮最大收敛变形量约为300 mm,实现了较好的支护效果。
