To investigate the energy evolution and storage performances of rock under uniaxial cyclic compression, a series of uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading compression tests were conducted on Green sandstone and Yueyang granite. Two methods for calculating the total input energy of the specimen under each cycle were proposed. One is based on the actual stress-strain curve of the specimen (ASC method); the other is based on the stress-strain envelope curve during the loading process (SEC method). The experimental results show that, for those two methods, the total input energy, elastic energy, and dissipated energy of the specimen show a quadratic function increasing trend with the increase of stress levels. Besides, the elastic energy increases linearly with the increase of total input energy for both methods, which confirms that the linear energy storage law is also applicable to rock materials under uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading compression conditions. Moreover, the uniaxial compression energy storage coefficient calculated by the SEC method is highly close to that obtained based on the single cycle loading and unloading test, which indicates that the uniaxial compression energy storage coefficient of rock can also be calculated by multiple cyclic loading and unloading test. In conclusion, the linear energy storage law is a basic physical property of rock materials, and the uniaxial compression energy storage coefficient is a physical index reflecting the energy storage capacity of rock materials.

To explore the characteristics of rock deformation and failure under cyclic loading and unloading, the MTS815 rock mechanics test system and acoustic emission (AE) signal acquisition system were used to perform cyclic loading and unloading tests on red sandstone samples. The results showed that, compared with the uniaxial compression test, cyclic loading and unloading had a certain strengthening effect on the strength of the samples. The plastic deformation of the rock samples increased as the number of cycles increased. Based on AE signals, the cracking mode classification was analyzed on the basis of the average frequency and the rise angle of the waveforms. It was observed that the Felicity ratio gradually decreased with the increase in the stress level, which showed a cumulative damage effect. From the perspective of energy, the obvious increase of AE energy rate was mainly concentrated in the early and late stages of uniaxial compression, while the significant increase of dissipated energy rate occurred in the late stage of uniaxial compression. During the cyclic loading and unloading, most of the work done by external forces in the compaction stage and the elastic stage was converted into elastic strain energy, and dissipated energy began to gradually increase in the stage of stable fracture development. In addition, it was found that the damage evolution of the rock samples changed from slow to fast, and the dissipated energy ratio increased when failure was approaching.

Magnesium alloys exhibit significant inelastic behavior during unloading, especially when twinning and detwinning are involved. It is commonly accepted that noteworthy inelastic behavior will be observed during unloading if twinning occurs during previous loading. However, this phenomenon is not always observed for Mg sheets with strong rolled texture. Therefore, the inelasticity of AZ31B rolled sheets with different rolled textures during cyclic loading-unloading are investigated by elastic viscoplastic self-consistent polycrystal plasticity model. The incorporation of the twinning and detwinning model enables the treatment of detwinning, which plays an important role for inelastic behavior during unloading. The effects of texture, deformation history, and especially twinning and detwinning on the inelastic behaviors are carefully investigated and found to be remarkable. The simulated results are in agreement with the available experimental observations, which reveals that the inelastic behavior for strongly rolled sheets is very different than the extruded bars.

It is of significance to study the damage and destruction of rock under cyclic loading in geotechnical engineering. We determined the trends in damage evolution of sandstone under constant-amplitude and tiered cyclic loading and unloading under uniaxial compression. The results of the study show that (1) the variation of acoustic-emission events was consistent with the stress curves and 89% of all acoustic-emission events occurred during the cycling stages. The observed Kaiser effect was more notable in tiered cycling. (2) The damage variable increased sharply in the cycling stages and its increment was 0.07 higher for tiered cycling than constant-amplitude cycling. Sandstone exhibited greater damage under tiered cyclic loading and unloading. (3) Equations for the evolution of the damage variable under the two cycle modes were obtained by fitting of experimental data. (4) The fractal dimensions of the constant-amplitude cycle were larger than those of the tiered cycle. The process of damage and destruction presents a trend of reducing fractal dimension. The damage accumulation of sandstone under tiered cycling was faster than under constant-amplitude cycling. These results provide references for damage and early warning of rock under both constant-amplitude and tiered cyclic loading and unloading.

In the operations of underground rock engineering, such as mining, the formation of goafs is often accompanied by unloading and energy effects. In this study, a cyclic loading and unloading stress test is carried out to analyze the strength characteristics of the loaded samples under different loading and unloading ranges as well as different numbers of cycles. The rock force is accompanied by substantial energy changes. To better fit the energy analysis under cyclic loading and unloading conditions, thermal infrared radiation characteristic analysis is performed during rock loading and unloading. An infrared radiation camera is adopted to detect the infrared characteristics of the rock force process after cyclic loading and unloading. Multiangle detection is implemented on the temperature, temperature field, and frequency histogram. The analysis shows that cyclic loading and unloading first strengthen and then weaken the rock. Moreover, the failure caused by the local stress concentration leads to a sharp increase in the temperature. There are significant temperature fluctuations before and after failure, and the temperature field after failure can be divided into three zones, namely, the normal temperature zone, heating zone, and mutational temperature zone, to comprehensively reflect that rock compression failure which is accompanied by the process of energy accumulation and release. On the basis of infrared energy analysis, the index of the energy release rate is introduced, and the loading and unloading analysis model is constructed. The research results reveal that rock failure is accompanied by the process of energy accumulation and release, which provides evidence for the analysis of the spatial stability of the rock mass under cyclic loading and unloading conditions and engineering excavation.
