The competition evolution mechanism of elastic energy and gas expansion energy during the disaster incubation has been explored. The results show that the types of compound dynamic disasters are primarily influenced by factors like stress, gas pressure and coal seam physical properties. As gas pressure varies, the gas expansion energy and elastic energy exhibit opposing evolutionary trends, leading to competitive accumulation between the two forms of energy. With increased relative outburst intensity, the crushing work increases while the average particle dimension decreases, leading to intensified coal pulverization and heightened destructiveness of outburst-rockburst events. The energy dissipation of the outburst-rockburst compound dynamic disaster is mainly attributed to the energy induced by the fracture and impact of the roof after outburst (58 %∼61 %), while that of the rockburst-outburst compound dynamic disaster is dominated by the crushing work (63 %∼70 %). Based on the energy conservation law, an energy criterion for outburst-rockburst compound dynamic disasters induced by instability of deep gas-bearing coal rock is established. By combining the proportions of coal rock release energy and gas release energy, the disaster-inducing transformation intervals are divided, and energy critical values are given.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11576,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Fracture Mechanics","volume":"324 ","pages":"Article 111256"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144168500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the displacement discontinuity method (DDM) and finite volume method (FVM), an integrated hydraulic fracturing simulator is established by coupling a non-planer three-dimensional fracture propagation model with a Eulerian-Eulerian proppant transport model. The embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) is adopted to describe the fluid flow between fracture and matrix. The fluid–solid coupling equations for fracture deformation and fluid flow are derived, and the one-way coupling strategy is employed to model the proppant transport in dynamic fracture networks. To avoid the problem of numerical oscillations, the high-order spatial and temporal discretization schemes are introduced. The fracture propagation and proppant transport models are validated by analytical solutions and published numerical results. Compared with the low-order discretization strategy, a more precise prediction of proppant distribution in dynamic HF can be obtained with high-order discretization schemes. Based on the established model, the parametric sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the intricate interaction between proppant transport and complex fracture propagation. The results show that the accumulation and bridging of proppant can promote the full opening of natural fracture (NF) during hydraulic fracturing. Increasing the proppant particle size and decreasing the injection rate, despite being detrimental to proppant transport efficiency, are instrumental in the formation of a stable temporary plugging zone. Moreover, the characteristics of fluid pressure reflect the formation process of temporary plugging zones and the propagation patterns of HF. A higher fracture propagation pressure signifies the successful establishment of the temporary plugging zone, which facilitates the creation of complex fracture networks during hydraulic fracturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11576,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Fracture Mechanics","volume":"324 ","pages":"Article 111264"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144134336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clarifying the fracture mechanism of dynamic ice is of great significance for guiding the practice of aircraft icing protection engineering. Based on the linear elastic fracture theory, this paper combined icing wind tunnel tests with central cracked Brazilian disc (CCBD) tests to carry out the pure mode I, pure mode II and mixed mode I-II fracture tests of dynamic ice at different icing ambient temperatures <em>T</em>. The displacement and strain field evolution on the specimen surface during loading was monitored by digital image correlation (DIC) method, and the test results were more deeply understood from a theoretical perspective. Finally, combining the micro-characteristics of dynamic ice such as its pore structure and crystal structure, the connection between the macroscopic fracture mechanical properties and the microscopic scale was discussed, revealing the fracture mechanism of dynamic ice. The research results show that within the temperature range of −5 ℃ to −15 ℃, the pure mode I fracture toughness of the dynamic ice is in the range of 81.181–129.675 KPa·m^0.5, while the pure mode II fracture toughness is in the range of 110.802–189.565 KPa·m^0.5.

It can be concluded that the decrease in failure load and fracture toughness of dynamic ice at −12.5 ℃ and −15 ℃ is mainly affected by internal pore defects, while the weakening of failure load and fracture toughness at −5 ℃ and −7.5 ℃ may be due to the combined action of the grain boundary weakening effect and the micro-interfaces formed during the freezing process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11576,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Fracture Mechanics","volume":"324 ","pages":"Article 111272"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A bond-based peridynamics (BB PD) model of ice-aluminum plate is established to investigate the fracture behaviors of ice under different loads. Both ice and aluminum plate were discretized into uniformly distributed particles, and short-range repulsive forces were introduced to prevent particle penetration. A critical relationship between the interface bond stretch and the ice bond stretch are established through an interface adhesive strength constant. Experiments based on an in-house EIDI system were performed to observe de-icing process. A high-speed camera (50000fps) is used to capture the generation and propagation of ice cracks. Additionally, the ratio of ice detachment area is obtained by observing the brightness variation through the color of the ice bottom surface. Experimental results serve as the basis for selecting appropriate values for interface adhesive strength constants and critical bond stretch of ice bonds, which are then applied to numerical simulations. Mechanisms of generation and propagation of initial crack, radial crack and circumferential crack are discussed. Through both simulation and experiments, it is discovered that radial cracks followed by circumferential cracks appears centered at the location of impulse load. Ice detachment occurred along the radial cracks and extended toward the center of the ice fragment. When the load is sufficiently small, detachment still emerges even without crack generation.

Accurate prediction of creep deformation is crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of engine components. This study proposes a novel continuous damage mechanics (CDM) parameter prediction framework for accurately predicting the long-term creep deformation of superalloys. The framework combines a fully connected neural network (FCNN) and a long short-term memory network (LSTM) to predict long-term creep performance by learning from short-term creep data. The key innovations of this research include the development of a <em>meta</em>-learning framework based on FCNN weight parameter evolution, the proposal of a hybrid loss function that combines mean square error (MSE) and total variation (TV) regularization, and the verification of the method’s effectiveness through multiple case studies. The experimental results show that the framework can accurately predict the creep deformation of various high-temperature alloys at different temperatures and stresses based on short-term creep data. The method can extrapolate the creep deformation to 2–5 times the short-term creep data, and compared with the traditional Larson-Miller method, it can control the life prediction error within ± 10 %, which shows excellent prediction performance.
