Abstract
Based on the distributed dislocation function, the complex function of arbitrary position and branch cross-crack group under hydraulic-mechanical in the infinite plate is derived and the maximum Mode I and Mode II stress intensity factors (SIFs) of cross-crack group are obtained. The influence of cross-crack group geometry parameters on the maximum SIFs is analyzed and the multiple cross-cracks dangerous zone is obtained. Using the maximum shear and tensile SIF ratio criterion as a basis, the initiation process of double cross-cracks is predicted and verified by red sandstone double cross-cracks uniaxial compression test. Results show that for the double cross-crack in an infinite plate, h/a should be greater than 8 and the value of α2 should not range from 75° to 90° to avoid possible cracking. For the triple cross-crack in an infinite plate, when the water pressure is low (less than 5 MPa), the influence of the stress field exceeds the influence of water pressure. For red sandstone samples with double cross-cracks under uniaxial compression, the inner tips of cross-cracks always connected and penetrated and the inner and outer tips of cross-cracks often eventually joined together. The multiple cross-crack initiation criterion was validated by the good agreement between the test results and the prediction results of red sandstone with double cross-cracks. All the initiation mechanisms are Mode I fracture.
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.
