Abstract
For rock or rock-like materials, early warning information regarding the timing and location of failure is particularly crucial. Infrared monitoring technology is widely applied in temporal predictions of failure occurrence; however, research on the localization of failure positions remains inadequate. Consequently, undertaking research in this area holds substantial importance. This study employed 3D printing technology to fabricate samples containing pre-set three-dimensional flaws. Under uniaxial compression conditions, real-time monitoring of the infrared radiation (IR) intensity on two adjacent non-load-bearing surfaces of the samples was conducted. By integrating the Lambert-Beer Law with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, a method for calculating the locations of internal fracture radiation sources on basis of the IR intensity was established. Additionally, the localization results of this method were compared and analyzed with those of acoustic emission (AE) localization. The research findings demonstrate that the established localization method can fully utilize IR data to obtain distribution maps of internal fracture radiation sources at different moments. The size and position of these radiation sources in the distribution maps reflect the locations and degrees of damage to the samples. Comparisons with AE localization and photoelastic stress analysis results further validate the feasibility and effectiveness of this method. Moreover, the computational results reveal the pattern of change in the calculated intensity of radiation sources over time: a significant and abnormal surge in radiation intensity occurs at the moment of sample failure. Therefore, this new method can provide both temporal and spatial early warning information for sample failure. This study not only establishes a novel method for calculating the location of sample failure but also offers a new direction for the application of infrared monitoring technology in the field of rock engineering research, which holds important theoretical and practical importance.
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.
