The dynamic fracture law of layered materials with different strength layers under slotted charge explosion loads was studied. The results indicate that the greater the strength of the bedding plane, the more significant the waveform changes of the explosive stress wave when transmitted through the bedding plane. When the strength of the bedding is relatively high, the crack velocity is less affected by the bedding. When the strength of the bedding is weak and there is a significant difference from the strength of the specimen material, the velocity of the crack after passing through the bedding will undergo severe oscillations. Before the main crack reaches the bedding plane and after passing through it, the fracture mode of the crack is mainly mode-I. During the process of the crack passing through the bedding plane, the dynamic crack transforms from the mode-I crack to the mixed mode crack.

The presence of shear stress within the inclined rock layers can significantly affect the cracking efficiency of the Rolled Static Cracking Agent(RSCA). To study the rupture damage characteristics of rocks under the expansion of RSCA with different shear stress magnitudes, a novel Compression Shear Coupling Test system (CSCT) was employed. Fracture tests were conducted on RSCA specimens at six different inclination angles (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, and 25°) under constant pressure. Acoustic emission monitoring and full-field strain measurement were employed to analyze the dynamic fracture process and damage characteristics of the specimens. The results indicate that an increase in inclination accelerates the crack initiation efficiency of RSCA, causing cracks to propagate at lower expansion pressures. The magnitude of the shear stress component significantly affects the fracturing characteristics of the specimens; as the inclination increases, the proportion of shear cracks in the specimens increases significantly. Additionally, the AE energy, fractal dimension, and surface density of cracks initially decrease and then increase. The distribution of surface strain concentration areas is closely related to the inclination angle, with shear stress causing the maximum tensile stress point to shift towards the shear direction of the specimen, forming strip-shaped damage zones. As a key factor affecting rock fracturing, the shear stress component alters the crack propagation pattern during RSCA fracturing.

We established a high-temperature damage constitutive model based on the Burr distribution with an effective stress invariant and the Hoek-Brown (H-B) criterion.

Three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) was used to analyze the mechanical behavior and strain localization of the fractured rock samples affected by temperature and stress. The results showed that the elastic modulus reached the maximum at the largest inclination angle at different heat treatment temperatures. The surface principal strain increased uniformly before the stress–strain peak, strain localization increased, and the macroscopic cracks in the post-peak region expanded rapidly at different temperatures. The dominant failure mechanism of the granite samples was tensile shear failure at different temperatures and fracture angles. The strain data obtained by placing virtual extenders in different positions and directions on the rock surface are in good agreement with the experimental data. The predicted results of the high-temperature damage constitutive model aligned well with the experimental results, indicating the model accurately predicted the evolution of axial compression fracture of heat-damaged fractured rock.

Hence, there is a need to study the creep fatigue crack growth behaviour (CFCG) of P91 weldments and to evaluate the consequences and the underlying mechanisms behind crack propagation. This article intends to provide a preliminary comparison of the behaviour of welded P91 compact tension C(T) samples with those of the base metal. CFCG of P91 welded specimens have been performed at 600 °C for a force ratio of 0.1, 0.5 and 0.8 with hold times of 10, 60 and 600 s. The test results were compared with corresponding tests for base metal samples. The variation in cyclic crack growth rate has been evaluated with respect to stress intensity factor range <em>(</em>Δ<em>K)</em> and <em>(C<sub>t</sub>)<sub>avg</sub></em> parameter and correlated with the variation in hardness corresponding to the change in microstructural features across the welded joint. The phenomenon of crack tunnelling has been evaluated along with detailed fractography of the tested samples. The angular distortion of the terminal crack front is subdued for the welded samples. The welded samples can thus be said to exhibit a higher degree of resistance to lateral deformation due to the advent of triaxial stresses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22879,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 104929"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143644926","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}
