Deformation and fracture of brittle materials, especially crack propagation, have drawn wide attention in recent years. But dynamic crack propagation under impact loading was not well understood. In this paper, we experimentally tested Brazilian disk (BD) fine sandstone specimens containing pre-cracks under cyclic impact loading by the Φ 74 mm diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test device. The pre-cracked specimens were named central straight through crack flattened Brazilian disk (CSCFBD). By using the low air-pressure loading conditions (0.1 MPa, equal to the impact velocity of 3.76 m/s), a series of dynamic impact tests were detected successfully, and the effects of pre-cracks on dynamic properties were analyzed. Experimental results show that the multiple cracks mostly initiate at/or near the pre-crack tips and then propagate in different paths and directions varying by inclination angles, leading to the ultimate failure. Compared to static or quasi-static loading, dynamic crack propagation and fracture behavior are obviously different. Furthermore, we characterized the crack propagation paths, directions, and fracture patterns and discussed the influences of the pre-cracks during the breakage process. We concluded that the results obtained are significant in investigating the failure mechanism and mechanical properties of brittle materials under impact loading.

In civil, geotechnical, and mining engineering, the investigation of the holes’ effect on dynamic crack propagation is essential because it can be used to predict possible fracture and protect cracked structures being further damaged. In this paper, a specimen made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with a pre-crack and two holes was proposed, and the Split-Hopkinson pressure bar was employed to investigate the effect of holes on dynamic crack propagation under impact loading. Notably, the locations of the holes were well designed with different two-hole spacing (12 mm, 16 mm, and 20 mm) and crack-hole distance (15 mm, 30 mm, and 45 mm). Crack propagation gauges were applied to monitor the fracturing time and crack extending velocity. The interaction characteristic between the crack and two holes was studied numerically using the AUTODYN code. In the numerical models, the failure criteria of maximum tensile stress and softening damage were employed for brittle material. The crack path, the propagating velocity, the particle velocity vector, and the stress state between the holes were analyzed. The calculation results indicate that compressive stresses between the two holes induced by the deformation of the holes play a crucial role in confining the vertical crack propagation. Both experimental and numerical results demonstrate that the holes have a suppressing action on the moving crack; as the two-hole spacing decreases, the suppressing action intensifies.

Crack Propagation Behavior

The dynamic experiments for the Mg-Li alloys with single phase structure were carried out using the Hopkinson pressure bar. The dynamic crack propagation behavior and fracture mechanism of the alloys were investigated. The results show that the dynamic crack propagation is a deceleration process for the Mg-Li alloys under high loading rate. The fastest crack propagation velocity for Mg-3.3Li alloy is m/s 37 . 1253 , and 935.36m/s for Mg-14Li alloy. Observations of the fracture by SEM reveal that the dynamic fracture surface for Mg-3.3Li alloy mainly appears to be brittle fracture along grain boundaries. Whereas, the Mg-14Li alloy is ductile fracture mode under high loading rate. The main reason for these may be the transformation of hcp→bcc structure and the precipitation of the MgLi2Al and AlLi, as increase of Li in Mg-Li alloy.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the complete process of dynamic crack propagation in brittle materials under different loading rates. By using Improved Single Cleavage Semi-Circle (ISCSC) specimens and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar equipment, experiments were conducted, with the fracture phenomenon and crack propagation of tight sandstone investigated. Meanwhile, the process of crack propagation behaviour was simulated. Moreover, with the experimental–numerical method, the crack propagation dynamic stress intensity factor (DSIF) was also calculated. Then, the crack propagation toughness of tight sandstone under different loading rates was investigated and illustrated elaborately. Investigation results demonstrate that ISCSC specimens can achieve the crack arrest position unchanged, and the numerical simulation could effectively deduce the actual crack propagation, as their results were well matched. During crack propagation, the crack propagation DSIF in the whole process increases with the rising loading rate, and so does the crack propagation velocity. Several significant dynamic material parameters of tight sandstone are also given, for engineering reference.

Crack Propagation And Arrest

A new model of unstable ductile crack propagation and arrest of pressurized gas pipeline is presented. The model couples pipe deformation and fracture with gas decompression. The model also takes account of backfill effect. Pipe deformation and pressure changes are obtained by solving one-dimensional differential equations. Validity of the model was checked by comparing with published full-scale burst test data. The model can predict history of crack velocity and arrest crack length with fairly good accuracy. The model can be applied to wide ranges of gases, pipe grades and pipe sizes because it does not rely on parameter adjustment by experimental data sets but is based on physical assumptions.
