Because of the requirement of the mechanical properties of the damaged surrounding granite rock and the existence of the fracture water in hydraulic fracturing engineering, the strength of granite is related to the fabric, and the roughness of the section is also related to the liquid flow rate, a method of roughly determining the strength of the specimen by observing the failure mode of rock is needed. Considering that the physical and mechanical properties of granite are obviously affected by the fabric, the discrete element numerical simulation method was used to reconstruct the granite fabric based on the spatial correlation function to simulate the splitting experiment to investigate the failure mode of the specimen. The relationship between strength, the fractal value of cross-section, and the fabric was analyzed, which was verified through experiment. The results show that (1) the Voronoi GBM model with spatial correlation function of the discrete element can effectively simulate the controllable granite fabric and carry out micromechanical analysis. (2) The strength of the granite specimen and the fractal value of the cross-section have an obvious linear relationship with the fabric; besides, there is also a certain linear relationship between the strength of the specimen and the fractal value, which is influenced by granite fabric. (3) The predicted strength of the specimen according to the fractal value of the section is in good agreement with the actual strength with the error rate of 30%. In a word, this method can predict the strength of the specimen through the failure section and analyze the hydraulic fracture section and water pressure.

By means of a tensile instrument and SEM, the mechanical property parameters of HTPB propellant test samples with different formulas were tested, and their microscopic fracture cross section patterns were observed. Take advantage of these testing results, the relationship between microscopic structure and mechanical properties of HTPB propellant was studied. The results show that the mechanical properties of a propellant are closely related to its microscpic structure state. The structural integrity of propellant is mainly influenced by the bond effect of the interface between binder and solid particles, solid particle’s shape, size and its distribution, the content of binder matrix, etc. These factors have important effects on the mechanical properties of propellant.

In order to investigate the shear capacity of prefabricated beam, experiments about shear bearing were performed on one integral pouring contrast beam and two prefabrication and assembly beams. Inspecting the relationship between load and deflection under the load, the development regularity of strain between longitude reinforced and stirrup, the shear capacity of cracking load and ultimate bearing capacity, analyzing failure mode of oblique section and connection performance of old and new concrete in the groove, and compared with the mechanical properties of cast-in-place concrete beam. The experimental results indicate that: prefabrication and assembly beam and cast-in-place beams have similar shear bearing capacity and failure mode of oblique section, along with the load level continues to increase, the groove joint stiffness weakened, but has little effect on the overall deformation.
