In order to investigate the dynamic fracture characteristics of granite under the action of thermal-cold cycles, dynamic fracture tests are carried out on the central straight crack semi-circular disc (NSCB) granite specimens treated with multiple thermal-cold cycles (maximum number of cycles 13 times) at 400 °C, and the crack expansion rate is monitored. Based on the digital image correlation (DIC) method, the impact of thermal and cold cycling effect on the fracture process zone (FPZ) is studied, and the morphological characteristics of the fracture surface are analyzed. The effect of cyclic treatment on the microstructure of granite is investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the dynamic fracture properties of granite are significantly degraded under the action of repeated hot and cold cycles. When the number of hot and cold cycles reaches more than 10 times, the decrease is more than 28.7 %. The fracture process zone of granite begins to develop gradually from the crack tip. The length of the fracture process zone increases first and then decreases with the increase of load, and the maximum value is 9.2 mm. The dynamic fracture toughness, the maximum length of FPZ and the average crack growth rate decrease exponentially with the increase of the number of thermal cycles. The fracture surface fractal dimension is negatively correlated with dynamic fracture toughness, suggesting that the decrease of fracture resistance promotes the generation of rougher fracture surfaces. Macroscopic damage trajectories indicate that thermal cracking is the main factor controlling the theory expansion path. The combined effects of high-temperature heating damage, fast cooling, thermal-cold cycles, and water weakness are responsible for the deterioration of granite damage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22879,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 105050"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321917","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 study, the mechanical properties, deformation characteristics, and damage mechanisms of prefabricated fissured granite were investigated by laboratory true triaxial experiments and grain-based model (GBM) simulations. Granite specimens with seven different fissure geometries (rock bridge inclination and length and fissure inclination) were tested in true triaxial compression tests. As a complementary study, the mineral composition and microstructure of granite were modeled using GBM numerical simulations for purpose of analyze the evolution of microfractures. The obtained results indicate that, larger rock bridge inclination, smaller rock bridge length, and larger crack inclination decreased the peak strength (up to 76.31 %), damage threshold, and modulus of elasticity of the specimens.

It shifted from tensile shear cracks to a type of mixed tensile-shear cracks where the tensile cracks were predominant, and these cracks fully traversed the rock bridge region.

The results reveal significant differences between the propagation modes of non-penetrating and penetrating cracks. Surface observations demonstrate that anti-wing cracks, as a typical three-dimensional propagation feature, although not necessarily initiating from pre-existing crack tips, predominantly propagate along the loading direction and frequently coalesce with wing cracks to induce localized surface spalling. Internal analysis indicates that crack inclination angle critically influences adjacent crack paths: when the angle between cracks and loading direction increases, micro-cracks preferentially nucleate at edge regions, which subsequently affects both crack propagation behavior and specimen strength. The wrapping effect of wing cracks governs the internal-external connection sequence of adjacent cracks, creating discontinuous propagation patterns through self-inhibition mechanisms until crack coalescence occurs. Peak strength analysis shows a non-monotonic relationship with inclination angles, exhibiting fluctuations at 15° and 45° before reaching maximum values at 90°. Notably, wrapping phenomena persist universally across specimens (including surface-cracked specimens) except at 0° and 90° inclinations, confirming their prevalence in rock fracture processes. Under these special inclination conditions, newly formed cracks exhibit distinct directional propagation characteristics. These findings elucidate the three-dimensional evolution mechanisms of non-penetrating spatial cracks and establish a theoretical foundation for fracture prediction in rock engineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22879,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 105048"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321888","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}
