There are a lot of fissures, holes, and other defects in the formation of natural rocks. Under the influence of the external loads, these defects may cause engineering problems. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze the characteristics of damage evolution of the defective rocks. In the study, the double-hole defective rocks with different angles of the center connection line are considered and the numerical models are established firstly. Then the mechanical behavior and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics are analyzed systematically. Finally the laws of damage evolution of the defective rock materials are investigated based on the AE characteristics. The research results show that the stress-strain behavior of the defective rocks can be divided into elastic stage, plastic stage and failure stages. The characteristics of acoustic emission evolution and laws of damage evolution are closely related to the stress-strain relationship. The elastic modulus of the double-hole defective rocks is similar with different angles of the center connection line, but the peak strength is different. The shape of the peak strength of these defective rocks is a W type owing to the different failure modes. The influences of different angles of the center connection line on the characteristics of AE evolution include the maximum events number, the strain value of the initial AE events and the maximum AE events, and the strain range of the serious AE events. Different angles of the center connection line have different influences on the laws of damage evolution of the double-hole defective rocks.

The joint arrangement in rock masses is the critical factor controlling the stability of rock structures in underground geotechnical engineering. In this study, the influence of the joint inclination angle on the mechanical behavior of jointed rock masses under uniaxial compression was investigated. Physical model laboratory experiments were conducted on jointed specimens with a single pre-existing flaw inclined at 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° and on intact specimens. The acoustic emission (AE) signals were monitored during the loading process, which revealed that there is a correlation between the AE characteristics and the failure modes of the jointed specimens with different inclination angles. In addition, particle flow code (PFC) modeling was carried out to reproduce the phenomena observed in the physical experiments. According to the numerical results, the AE phenomenon was basically the same as that observed in the physical experiments. The response of the pre-existing joint mainly involved three stages: (I) the closing of the joint; (II) the strength mobilization of the joint; and (III) the reopening of the joint. Moreover, the response of the pre-existing joint was closely related to the joint’s inclination. As the joint inclination angle increased, the strength mobilization stage of the joint gradually shifted from the pre-peak stage of the stress–strain curve to the post-peak stage. In addition, the instantaneous drop in the average joint system aperture (aave) in the specimens with medium and high inclination angles corresponded to a rapid increase in the form of the pulse of the AE activity during the strength mobilization stage.

In this investigation, damage evolution in a unidirectional hybrid ceramic composite made from Nicalon and SiC fibers in a Lithium Aluminosilicate (LAS) glass matrix was studied. The static stress-strain response of the composite exhibited a linear response followed by load drop in a progressive manner. Careful experiments were conducted stopping the tests at various strain levels and using replication technique, scanning and optical microscopy to monitor the evolution of damage in these composites. It was observed that the constituents of the composite failed in a sequential manner at increasing strain levels. The matrix cracks were followed by SiC fiber failures near ultimate tensile stress. After that, the load drop was associated with progressive failure of the Nicalon fibers. Identification of these failure modes were critical to the development of a concentric cylinder model representing all three constituent phases to predict the constitutive response of the CMC computationally. The strain-to-failure of the matrix and fibers were used to progressively fail the constituents in the model and the overall experimental constitutive response of the CMC was recovered. A strain based analytical representation was developed relating stiffness loss to applied strain. Based on this formulation, damage evolution and its consequence on tensile stress-strain response was predicted for room temperature behavior of hybrid CMCs. The contribution of the current work is that the proposed strain-damage phenomenological model can capture the damage evolution and the corresponding material response for continuous fiber-reinforced CMCs. The modeling approach shows much promise for the complex damage processes observed in hybrid CMCs.

AbstractAs coal mining is extended from shallow to deep areas along the western coalfield, it is of great significance to study weakly cemented sandstone at different depths for underground mining engineering. Sandstones from depths of 101.5, 203.2, 317.3, 406.9, 509.9 and 589.8 m at the Buertai Coal Mine were collected. The characteristic strength, acoustic emission (AE), and energy evolution of sandstone during uniaxial compression tests were analyzed. The results show that the intermediate frequency (125–275 kHz) of shallow rock mainly occurs in the postpeak stage, while deep rock occurs in the prepeak stage. The initiation strength and damage strength of the sandstone at different depths range from 0.23 to 0.50 and 0.63 to 0.84 of peak strength (σc), respectively, decrease exponentially and are a power function with depth. The precursor strength ranges from 0.88σc to 0.99σc, increases with depth before reaching a depth of 300 m, and tends to stabilize after 300 m. The ratio of the initiation strength to the damage strength (k) ranges from 0.25 to 0.62 and decreases exponentially with depth. The failure modes of sandstone at different depths are tension-dominated mixed tensile-shear failure. Shear failure mainly occurs at the unstable crack propagation stage. The count of the shear failure bands before the peak strength increases gradually, and increases first and then decreases after the peak strength with burial depth. The cumulative input energy, released elastic energy and dissipated energy increase with depth. The elastic release rate ranges from 0.46 × 10–3 to 198.57 × 10–3 J/(cm3 s) and increases exponentially with depth.

Delamination Damage

The adhesive joint of composite materials is one of the typical structures in aircraft structures, and the delamination damage is one of the most important damage modes in composite adhesive joints. In this paper, static and fatigue tests were carried out on L-shaped adhesive joints to analyze the damage evolution and failure modes of delamination damage under static and fatigue loadings. Based on the cohesive constitutive models, the static and high-cycle fatigue delamination constitutive models were developed. The static and fatigue numerical models of composite L-shaped adhesive joints were established by using finite element software. The stress distribution, deformation modes and delamination propagation laws were systematically studied. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The delamination damage initiation, evolution and failure mechanism of L-shaped adhesive joints under static and fatigue loads were revealed by combining the experimental and the numerical results, which will provide theoretical and engineering guidance for strength and fatigue analysis of composite adhesive structures.

In this study, considering the scale effect of rock mass, the influence of different height-to-diameter ratios on rock mechanics and acoustic emission characteristics was studied by using PFC2D software. The damage constitutive model of rock was established, and the damage evolution characteristics of rock with different height-to-diameter ratios were further analyzed. The results showed that, with the increase of height-to-diameter ratio K, the uniaxial compressive strength and peak strain of rock exhibited a gradual decrease; however, the elastic modulus gradually increased. Moreover, rock failure modes exhibited different characteristics under different K values. The scale effect showed little influence on the acoustic emission characteristics in the elastic stage; nonetheless, in the plastic deformation stage and the residual damage stage, with the increase of the rock’s height-to-diameter ratio, the maximum number of impacts of acoustic emission increased, the range of strong strain of acoustic emission decreased, and the maximum time of acoustic emission impacts increased gradually. The height-to-diameter ratio of the rock slightly influenced the zero-damage stage of the rock, but the damage affecting the rock increased slowly and accelerated the development stage. The damage evolution law was found to be similar when the K values varied from 1.0 to 2.0; however, when the K was greater than 2.0, the damage evolution law exhibited the characteristics of slowing down in the acceleration phase.

Coal Rock

Coal-gas outburst, rock burst, and other mine dynamic disasters are closely related to the instability and failure of coal-rock. Coal-rock is the assemblies of mineral particles of varying sizes and shapes bonded together by cementing materials. The damage and rupture process of coal-rock is accompanied by acoustic emission (AE), which can be used as an effective means to monitor and predict the instability of coal-rock body. In this manuscript, considering the size effect of coal-rock, the influence of different height to diameter ratio on the acoustic emission characteristics of coal-rock damage evolution was discussed by microparticle flow PFC2D software platform. The results show that coal-rock size influences the uniaxial compressive strength, peak strain, and elastic modulus of itself; the size effect has little effect on the acoustic emission law of coal-rock damage and the effects of the size of coal-rock samples on acoustic emission characteristics are mainly reflected in three aspects: the triggering time of acoustic emission, the strain range of strong acoustic emission, and the intensity of acoustic emission; the damage evolution of coal-rock specimen can be divided into 4 stages: initial damage, stable development, accelerated development, and damage.

Carbonaceous Shale

To explore the mechanical properties and damage evolution characteristics of carbonaceous shale with different confining pressures and water-bearing conditions, triaxial compression tests accompanied by simultaneous acoustic emission (AE) monitoring were conducted on carbonaceous shale rock specimens. The AE characteristics of carbonaceous shale were investigated, a damage assessment method based on Shannon entropy of AE was further proposed. The results suggest that the mechanical properties of carbonaceous shale intensify with increasing confining pressure and degrade with increasing water content. Moisture in rocks does not only weaken the cohesion but also reduce the internal friction angle of carbonaceous shale. It is observed that AE activities mainly occur in the post-peak stage and the strong AE activities of saturated carbonaceous shale specimens appear at a lower normalized stress level than that of natural-state specimens. The maximum AE counts and AE energy increase with water content while decrease with confining pressure. Both confining pressure and water content induce changes in the proportions of AE dominant frequency bands, but the changes caused by confining pressure are more significant than those caused by water content. The results also indicate that AE entropy can serve as an applicable index for rock damage assessment. The damage evolution process of carbonaceous shale can be divided into two main stages, including the stable damage development stage and the damage acceleration stage. The damage variable increases slowly accompanied by a few AE activities at the first stage, which is followed by a rapid growth along with intense acoustic emission activities at the damage acceleration stage. Moreover, there is a sharp rise in the damage evolution curve for the natural-state specimen at the damage acceleration stage, while the damage variable develops slowly for the saturated-state specimen.

Glulam bamboo has been preliminarily explored for use as a structural building material, and its stress–strain model under axial loading has a fundamental role in the analysis of bamboo components. To study the tension and compression behaviour of glulam bamboo, the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo as two kinds of typical glulam bamboo materials were tested under axial loading. Their mechanical behaviour and failure modes were investigated. The results showed that the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo have similar failure modes. For tensile failure, bamboo fibres were ruptured with sawtooth failure surfaces shown as brittle failure; for compression failure, the two modes of compression are buckling and compression shear failure. The stress–strain relationship curves of the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo are also similar. The tensile stress–strain curves showed a linear relationship, and the compressive stress–strain curves can be divided into three stages: elastic, elastoplastic and post-yield. Based on the test results, the stress–strain model was proposed for glulam bamboo, in which a linear equation was used to describe the tensile stress–strain relationship and the Richard–Abbott model was employed to model the compressive stress–strain relationship. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental curves.
