This method can be treated as an optimization towards Walker’s equation owing to the similarity between them. Compared to Walker’s equation, a modification of SWT function, the proposed equation is attached to a material parameter directly correlating with the fatigue strength exponent, which eliminates the need to conduct additional HCF experiments. The analysis of experimental results from the existing literature allowed for the comparative validation of the suggested equation with two existing equations that have wide acceptance and simplicity, namely the Goodman relationship and SWT function, which revealed a better performance of the suggested model. The proposal provides great potential for its simplicity in the evaluation of HCF lifetime under tensional fatigue loading with mean stress, further optimizing towards Walker’s equation.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":"833 - 848"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44072550","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 series of experiments with uniaxially and biaxially loaded specimens covering a wide range of stress states and different loading directions is used in combination with corresponding numerical simulations to develop damage criteria. The underlying continuum damage model is based on kinematic definition of damage tensors. The strain rate tensor is additively decomposed into elastic, plastic and damage parts. The anisotropic plastic behavior of the investigated aluminum alloy sheets is governed by the Hoffman yield condition taking into account the strength-differential effect revealed by uniaxial tension and compression tests. Based on this yield criterion generalized anisotropic stress invariants as well as the generalized stress triaxiality and the generalized Lode parameter are defined characterizing the stress state in the anisotropic ductile metal. A damage criterion formulated in terms of these anisotropic stress invariants is proposed and damage mode parameters allow adequate consideration and combination of different damage processes on the micro-level. At the onset of damage the anisotropic stress parameters are determined. With these experimental-numerical data the damage mode parameters are identified depending on stress state and loading direction.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":"811 - 832"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43463039","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}

To investigate the evolutionary characteristics of acoustic emission (AE), microseismic (MS), and sound signals produced by hard rock fracture, uniaxial compression tests on granite specimens observed by AE, MS and sound monitoring were carried out. The evolution characteristics of the acoustic signal index, including its waveform, fractal dimension, b value, main frequency, energy proportion of signal frequency bands, and signal activeness, were analysed. The results indicate that there are significant differences in some characteristics of the AE, MS, and sound on the eve of granite failures, such as the waveform amplitude density, the average decline rate of the b value, the distribution of the main frequency, and the evolution of the energy proportion of the advantage frequency band. The three types of acoustic signals can characterize different scales of rock fracture under uniaxial compression. AE is sensitive to small-scale rock fractures, and MS and sound are sensitive to large-scale rock fractures. In addition, a unified damage evolution equation established by acoustic signals is proposed to quantitatively describe the damage process of granite specimens during uniaxial compression tests.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":"715 - 745"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48913995","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}

Therefore, a series of true triaxial tests were performed on deeply buried marble to investigate the effects of σ2 and σ3 on the characteristic strength (peak strength, yield strength and residual strength), post-peak deformation and brittle–ductile behaviour. Based on test results, a three-dimensional elastoplastic damage constitutive model that describes plastic hardening and damage softening of rock was established within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics, and a sensitivity analysis of key parameters (η and ζ) was performed. A method that controls the brittle–ductile behaviour of rock through key parameters η and ζ was studied, and functions of these two parameters with σ2 and σ3 were proposed. The proposed model was implemented numerically with the cutting-plane algorithm in a finite element program. A series of numerical simulation experiments were performed, and numerical simulation and experimental results are consistent.

Based on mesoscopic damage mechanics and the finite element method, a thermo-hydro-mechanical-damage (THMD) coupling model considering temperature, seepage, stress, and damage fields was constructed to investigate the effects of reservoir temperature, convective heat transfer coefficient (h), in-situ stress difference and bedding plane angle (αθ) on shale hydraulic fracturing. The results show that multiple hydraulic fractures (HFs) can occur under thermal shock and that HFs control the distribution of seepage, temperature, and stress fields. Reservoir temperature, in-situ stress difference and αθ are primary factors affecting hydraulic fracturing, whereas h is a secondary factor. When the reservoir temperature rises from 50°C to 150°C, the initiation and breakdown pressures decrease by 65.5% and 16.7%, respectively. HFs cross the bedding plane more easily, and fracture complexity is obviously enhanced. A higher h is favourable for slightly reducing the initiation and breakdown pressures, but it has little influence on the fracture complexity. Once the in-situ stress difference is low, there is a high fracture complexity, but HFs are more easily captured by bedding planes to limit the propagation of fracture height. When the in-situ stress difference is high, HFs are more likely to form bi-wing fractures. Whether αθ is too large or small, it is not conducive to improving the fracture complexity. In this study, when αθ is 30°, HFs and bedding planes intersect to form a fracture network. Essentially, thermal shock plays a key role in reducing the initiation pressure and forming multiple HFs during the fracturing process, and fracture propagation mainly depends on the injection pressure. The results can serve as reasonable suggestions for the optimization of shale hydraulic fracturing.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":"651 - 682"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45166978","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 series of uniaxial compressive tests and meso-scale simulations were conducted on concrete with various specimen sizes under different strain-rates covering the strain-rate range of seismic load, with special focus on the quantitative contribution of end-friction to compressive strength and its corresponding strain-rate effect as well as size effect. Results indicate that the uniaxial compressive failure with end-friction follows an hourglass failure pattern while that without end-friction exhibits a columnar failure pattern. The end-friction effect can form different confined zone distributions for various sized specimens, which can cause the contribution of end-friction to compressive strength is size dependent as well as enhance the influence of specimen size on static and dynamic strength. The contribution proportion of end-friction to compressive strength is around 20∼25%. Moreover, larger-sized specimen performs a stronger strain-rate effect and the increasing strain-rate can weaken the influence of specimen size on the real compressive strength. The proposed real DIF empirical formula considering the size-dependency (covering the low strain-rate range) can well estimate the strain-rate effect for concrete with different sizes, which can provide a valuable reference for the numerical calculation of dynamic mechanical response and the safety design of concrete structures.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":"683 - 714"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47926011","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}

The vertical convergence deformation, internal force of these models, and damage to the segment body are selected for comparison. The number and location of the yielded bolts are explored for the analysis of the overall structure stiffness and damage evolution mechanism. In terms of plastic hinge theory, an extended discussion is carried out to explain the differences in damage evolution mechanisms in different-sized linings. The results show the large-diameter lining rings have a relatively greater increasing rate of convergence deformation. Furthermore, fewer plastic hinges emerged in large-scale lining rings before the structures reached their ultimate strength. According to the experimental results, we can know that the failure of large-diameter has the characteristic of more brittle damage than that of small-diameter one and these large-size structures are prone to become unstable geometry.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":"600 - 622"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48866243","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}

In this paper, the evolution of the damage-healing process of microencapsulated self-healing concrete subjected to tensile loading is numerically analyzed from a microscopic perspective by using a 2D micromechanical model. Based on the deformation and propagation evolution mechanism of microcracks, the contribution of microcracks to the total compliance tensor of microencapsulated self-healing concrete under tensile loading is deduced at various stages. According to the calculated total compliance tensor, the stress-strain and compliance-strain relations of microencapsulated self-healing concrete are discussed with special attention to the stress dropping and strain softening stages. Finally, parametric analysis was conducted using the constructed model to investigate the influence of size and content of microcapsules, the types of healing agent and the initial damage of the concrete on the mechanical behaviors of microencapsulated self-healing concrete. The constructed 2D model is significantly useful for the reasonable selection of the optimal parameters of microencapsulated self-healing concrete.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":"579 - 599"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48896274","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}
