Deep mine rocks are often subjected to rock burst induced by dynamic load. The existence of initial holes will reduce the mechanical properties of rocks and affect the stability and safety of the tunnel excavating. In order to study the effect of the ratios of inner and outer diameter on disc specimen dynamic mechanical properties and failure modes, we use cylindrical sandstone specimens of Φ50 × 25 mm to process center holes of different diameters, and a series of dynamic splitting test were carried out with a system of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) with the diameter of Φ50 mm when the pressure is 0.15 MPa, 0.3 MPa, and 0.5 MPa. The results show that (1) the dynamic tensile stress-time-history curve exhibited double peak phenomena, and the second peak value is less than the first peak value, (2) the dynamic tensile stress peaks decrease nonlinearly with the increasing of the ratios of inner and outer diameter, and the dependence is more obvious when the pressure is higher, and (3) there is a tensile crack running along the loading direction in the failure modes of the five samples with the ratio of inner to outer diameter under three kinds of impact pressure. Under the same impact pressure, when the ratio of inner diameter to outer diameter is greater than the critical ratio of inner diameter to outer diameter, there is an obvious empty hole effect; that is, the sample develops secondary tensile cracks that develop from the upper and lower ends of the pore disc to the center of the inner hole. With the increase of the ratio of inner diameter to outer diameter, the width of the penetration crack increases. With the increase of impact pressure, the critical ratio of inner diameter to outer diameter decreases gradually. The research results have certain significance for understanding the mechanical properties of porous rocks.

RMT-150B rock mechanics and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) devices were adopted to investigate the physical and mechanical properties, energy dissipation, and failure modes of argillaceous sandstone after different high temperatures under air-dried and saturation states. In addition, SEM and EDS tests were conducted to investigate its microstructure characteristics. Results showed that both the P-wave velocity and density of argillaceous sandstone specimen decreased with the increase of high temperature, while its porosity increased. Compared with static stress-strain curves, there was no obvious compaction stage for dynamic stress-strain curves, and the decrease rate of dynamic curves after peak strain was obviously slow compared with static curves. Both the static and dynamic strengths of argillaceous sandstone specimens decreased with increasing temperature, and the critical temperature point for the strength of argillaceous sandstone was 400°C. At the same temperature, the specific energy absorption under air-dried state was generally smaller compared with that under saturated state. Both the strain rate and temperature showed significant effect on the failure mode. After 100∼1000°C heat treatment, the granular crystals of the clastic structure gradually became larger, and both the number and average size of the original pores decreased, resulting in the deterioration of mechanical properties of argillaceous sandstone specimen.

Dynamic tensile failure is one of the main failure modes of layered rock masses during the excavation of underground engineering. This study investigates the influence of loading rate and layered inclination angle on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of layered slate using a split-Hopkinson pressure bar system and high-speed cameras. The results show that, overall, the dynamic elastic modulus E, postpeak stress reduction rate K, and failure load of the discs with the 7 tested bedding angles increase with the increasing loading rate. A nonlinear formula is proposed to describe the relationship between loading rate and failure load for the 7 tested inclination angles. As the inclination angle of the bedding planes increases from 0° to 90°, both the static and dynamic failure loads of the slate increased. However, with increasing loading rate, the anisotropic influence coefficient N ranges from 3.25 under the static load to 1.35 under the dynamic load, and the bedding effect gradually decreases. From the dynamic Brazilian splitting tests, the failure of the discs is mainly observed along the bedding planes when the inclination angle is less than or equal to 45°. Failure of the discs mainly occurs along the centre of the disc and previously intact planes when the inclination angle is greater than 60°. This study provides significant data to evaluate the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of layered rock and the safety and stability of layered rock under dynamic loading.

Abstract In order to investigate rock dynamic mechanical properties of amphibolites, sericite-quartz schist and sandstone under the different strain rates varying from 30 s -1 to 150 s -1 , the specimens were subjected to axial impact at different projectile speeds by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) of 100 mm in diameter. The optimal experimental size of rock samples is verified by analyzing the stress equilibrium of cylindrical rock samples in different thicknesses. It has studied the mechanic properties of these three rocks which under impact loadings; and analysed the dynamic compressive strength, failure modes, energy dissipation variation with the strain-rate and the strain-rate hardening effect from the perspective of material microstructure. Experimental results show that the dynamic Young's modulus of rock samples increase with strain-rate slightly. The dynamic failure modes of different rock samples are always different. When at a lower strain-rate, the damage of sandstone takes a peeling off the external radial tensile failure mode, but that of amphibolites takes axial splitting mode; when at a higher strain-rate, sandstone takes granular crushing failure mode, and that of amphibolites and of sericite-quartz schist take massive crushing mode. Significant strain-rate effect can be represented by a linear relation between the specific energy absorption and the strain-rate , or between the dynamic strength increase factor η and .

Dynamic Behaviors

The effect of silica fume (SF) in concrete on mechanical properties and dynamic behaviors was experimentally studied by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device with pulse shaping technique. Three series of concrete with 0, 12%, and 16% SF as a cement replacement by weight were produced firstly. Then the experimental procedure for dynamic tests of concrete specimens with SF under a high loading rate was presented. Considering the mechanical performance and behaviors of the concrete mixtures, those tests were conducted under five different impact velocities. The experimental results clearly show concrete with different levels of SF is a strain-rate sensitive material. The tensile strength under impact loading of the tested specimens was generally improved with the increasing content of SF levels in concrete. Additionally, the tensile strength under impact loading of the concrete enhances with the increase of the strain rates. Finally, failure modes, dynamic tensile strength, dynamic increase factor (DIF), and critical strain are discussed and analyzed. These investigations are useful to improve the understanding of the effect of SF in concrete and guide the design of concrete structures.

The dynamic mechanical properties of limestone are studied with 5 types of impact pressure acting on limestone samples in axial direction in this paper. The rubber shaper with a diameter of 5 mm and thickness of 2 mm is adopted. Besides the conical punch of split pressure bar of Hopkinson with a diameter of 50 mm is also used. The half-sinusoid pulse is obtained by using the pulse shaper method and special punch method; the constant strain rate deformation of the sample is realized. Dynamic compressive properties and failure modes of limestone under different impact pressure are investigated. In addition, energy dissipation is studied in the process of experiment. The results show that the dynamic compressive strength of limestone has an exponent relation to strain rate. The failure strain, degree of fragmentation, incident energy, and absorption energy increase, while the energy absorbency decreases with the increasing of strain rate. However, the initial elastic modulus is not sensitive to the strain rate. The research method and conclusions have reference value for the dynamic mechanical properties of other brittle materials.

To explore the basic mechanical properties and size effects of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with different substitution ratios of coarse recycled concrete aggregates (CRCAs) to replace natural coarse aggregates (NCA), the failure modes and mechanical parameters of RAC under different loading conditions including compression, splitting tensile resistance and direct shear were compared and analyzed. The conclusions drawn are as follows: the failure mechanisms of concrete with different substitution ratios of CRCAs are similar; with the increase in substitution ratio, the peak compressive stress and peak tensile stress of RAC decrease gradually, the splitting limit displacement decreases, and the splitting tensile modulus slightly increases; with the increase in the concrete cube’s side length, the peak compressive stress of RAC declines gradually, but the integrity after compression is gradually improved; and the increase in the substitution ratio of the recycled aggregate reduces the impact of the size effect on the peak compressive stress of RAC. Furthermore, an influence equation of the coupling effect of the substitution ratio and size effect on the peak compressive stress of RAC was quantitatively established. The research results are of great significance for the engineering application of RAC and the strength selection of RAC structure design.

The mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of concretes under different triaxial stress states were investigated based on a 3D mesoscale model. The quasistatic triaxial loadings, namely, compression–compression–compression (C–C–C), compression–tension–tension (C–T–T) and compression–compression–tension (C–C–T), were simulated using an implicit solver. The mesoscopic modelling with good robustness gave reliable and detailed damage evolution processes under different triaxial stress states. The lateral tensile stress significantly influenced the multiaxial mechanical behaviour of the concretes, accelerating the concrete failure. With low lateral pressures or tensile stress, axial cleavage was the main failure mode of the specimens. Furthermore, the concretes presented shear failures under medium lateral pressures. The concretes experienced a transition from brittle fracture to plastic failure under high lateral pressures. The Ottosen parameters were modified by the gradient descent method and then the failure criterion of the concretes in the principal stress space was given. The failure criterion could describe the strength characteristics of concrete materials well by being fitted with experimental data under different triaxial stress states.

Resistance spot welded 1.2 mm (t)-thick 1400 MPa martensitic steel (MS1400) samples are fabricated and their microstructure, mechanical properties are investigated thoroughly. The mechanical performance and failure modes exhibit a strong dependence on weld-nugget size. The pull-out failure mode for MS1400 steel resistance spot welds does not follow the conventional weld-nugget size recommendation criteria of 4t0.5. Significant softening was observed due to dual phase microstructure of ferrite and martensite in the inter-critical heat affected zone (HAZ) and tempered martensite (TM) structure in sub-critical HAZ. However, the upper-critical HAZ exhibits obvious higher hardness than the nugget zone (NZ). In addition, the mechanical properties show that the cross-tension strength (CTS) is about one quarter of the tension-shear strength (TSS) of MS1400 weld joints, whilst the absorbed energy of cross-tension and tension-shear are almost identical.

In recent years, coated fabrics have become the major material used in membrane structures. Due to the special structure of base layer and mechanical properties, coated biaxial warp-knitted fabrics are increasingly applied in pneumatic structures. In this article, the mechanical properties of coated biaxial warp-knitted fabrics are investigated comprehensively. First, off-axial tensile tests are carried out in seven in-plane directions: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°. Based on the stress–strain relationship, tensile strengths are obtained and failure modes are studied. The adaptability of Tsai–Hill criterion is analyzed. Then, the uniaxial tensile creep test is performed under 24-h sustained load and the creep elongation is calculated. Besides, tearing strengths in warp and weft directions are obtained by tearing tests. Finally, the biaxial tensile tests under five different load ratios of 1:1, 2:1, 1:2, 1:0, and 0:1 are carried out, and the elastic constants and Poisson’s ratio are calculated using the least squares method based on linear orthotropic assumption. Moreover, biaxial specimens under four load ratios of 3:1, 1:3, 5:1, and 1:5 are further tensile tested to verify the adaptability of linear orthotropic model. These experimental data offer a deeper and comprehensive understanding of mechanical properties of coated biaxial warp-knitted fabrics and could be conveniently adopted in structural design.

The fracture mechanical behaviour of thin-walled structures with cracks is highly significant for structural strength design, safety and reliability analysis, and defect evaluation. In this study, the effects of various factors on the fracture parameters, crack initiation angles and plastic zones of thin-walled cylindrical shells with cracks are investigated. First, based on the J-integral and displacement extrapolation methods, the stress intensity factors of thin-walled cylindrical shells with circumferential cracks and compound cracks are studied using linear elastic fracture mechanics, respectively. Second, based on the theory of maximum circumferential tensile stress of compound cracks, the number of singular elements at a crack tip is varied to determine the node of the element corresponding to the maximum circumferential tensile stress, and the initiation angle for a compound crack is predicted. Third, based on the J-integral theory, the size of the plastic zone and J-integral of a thin-walled cylindrical shell with a circumferential crack are analysed, using elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. The results show that the stress in front of a crack tip does not increase after reaching the yield strength and enters the stage of plastic development, and the predicted initiation angle of an oblique crack mainly depends on its original inclination angle. The conclusions have theoretical and engineering significance for the selection of the fracture criteria and determination of the failure modes of thin-walled structures with cracks.
