Abstract
The work studied the damage and fracture characteristics of granite samples with circular holes and parallel fractures of different lengths under uniaxial compression conditions. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring and digital image correlation (DIC) were used to analyze the dynamic changes of AE parameters, the evolution characteristics of the deformation field on the sample surface, and the correlation between the fractal dimension and the fracture geometry parameters. A computational model was proposed for evaluating the intensity factor of the fracture tip in a double-fracture structure with holes. The interaction between the fractures was considered to reveal the complex law of the intensity factor and the fracturing angle with the fracture geometry. The changes in AE parameters and fractal dimension indicated the influence of fracture extension on the damage mode of samples. Besides, the fracture length affected the micro-fracture behavior. The surface displacement and strain characteristics of samples revealed the modulation effect of the fracture length on the failure mode. The inclination angle, length, holes, and size of the fractures’ friction coefficient significantly affected the evolution of the intensity factor, which in turn regulated the changes in the fracture angle. The work offers a novel quantitative analytical approach and a theoretical framework for comprehending the damage and failure mechanisms of porous and fractured rocks through extensive experimentation and theoretical analysis. It holds significant practical relevance in geological engineering, mining, and tunnel construction.
期刊介绍:
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics'' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind.
The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.
