Herein, a multiscale methodology, from microstructure quantification, mesoscale fracture surface analysis to macroscopic fracture resistance, is proposed to reveal the fracture resistance mechanism of UHPC-CA. The results indicate that higher amorphous silica contributes to more high-density calcium silicate hydrate (HD C-S-H) and ultra-high-density calcium silicate hydrate (UHD C-S-H), from 16.3% and 27.1% to 21% and 28.3%, but more microcracks from 0.018 mm/mm<sup>2</sup> to 0.031 mm/mm<sup>2</sup> and 0.042 mm/mm<sup>2</sup>. More microcracks lead to less CA fracture in the case of UHPC-CA with central notch, whereas the denser microstructure and higher HD C-S-H and UHD C-S-H contribute to more CA fracture in the case of UHPC-CA with eccentric notch. Consequently, the peak fracture force of UHPC-CA with central notch firstly increases from 3420 N to 3426.6 N and then decreases down to 3166.7 N, attributed to the higher microcracks. Nevertheless, for that with eccentric notch, i.e., mixed-shear stress, the peak fracture force increases from 5073 N to 5765 N and 5510 N, thanks to the higher interlock of CA because of the denser microstructure. In the practical implications, 5% silica fume in binder system is recommended to balance the cracking resistance of UHPC-CA exposed to complex loading condition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22879,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 104886"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143509342","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}

Given this, dynamic impact tests were conducted on CRL notched semi-circular bending (CRL-NSCB) specimens using a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The study comparatively analyzed the differences in calculations of dynamic fracture toughness using different methods, such as the empirical formula recommended by the International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, the J-integral method, and method of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Additionally, a high-speed camera was adopted to capture the dynamic fracture process of the specimens, and the FPZ length of CRL was accurately measured based on the digital image correlation method.

The results indicate that the J-integral method accounts for energy release in the FPZ, allowing for a more accurate consideration of the heterogeneity effects.

This study proposes an extension of the traditional maximum energy release rate to address conditions involving gross plasticity within various steel specimens, referred to as the general maximum energy release rate criterion. This general criterion postulates that the crack extends in the direction which maximizes the sum of the (1) plastic dissipation energy due to plastic deformation and (2) crack surface creation energy. By virtue of its general nature, the proposed criterion performs well under linear elastic conditions. To validate the criterion’s effectiveness within the large-scale yielding regime, an experimental programme features a modified single-edge notched tension specimen design which contains a hole neighbouring the crack tip. Three specimens undergo separate constant amplitude loading regimes with varying maximum loads. The resulting crack paths exhibit distinctly different trajectories, validating the proposed criterion and ascertaining the effects of load magnitude under cyclic loading.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22879,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 104899"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143509340","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}

However, the evolution of fracture properties of multi-scale hybrid fiber reinforced ultra-high performance cementitious composites (MFRUHCC) with temperature remains to be revealed, which is of great significance to the safety of engineering structures in a fire. This study delves into the fracture behavior of MFRUHCC reinforced with hybrid steel fibers, polyethylene fibers, and multi-length carbon fibers through three-point bending tests of pre-notched beams after exposure to temperatures of 20 °C, 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C, and 800 °C. The crack propagation, load-crack mouth opening displacement curves, strain distribution, and microstructural change are analyzed. Results illustrate that the hybrid utilization of carbon fibers and polyethylene fibers can improve the fracture energy and fracture toughness, but adding excessive fibrs can induce adverse effects. Although the steel fibers exhibit a slight influence on the initial fracture toughness, they can remarkably enhance the fracture energy and unstable fracture toughness. The highest unstable fracture toughness of MFRUHCC with 0.4 % short carbon fibers, 0.8 % medium carbon fibers, 0.4 % long carbon fibers, and 1.0 % polyethylene fibers and steel fibers is up to 48.99 MPa·m<sup>1/2</sup>. It is found that carbon fibers can restrict the propagation of microcracks and strengthen the interface between steel fibers and the matrix, while the steel and polyethylene fibers can bridge the macrocracks, producing a strong synergistic toughening effect. However, this effect can be weakened above 400 °C due to the thermal degradation of steel fibers. A micromechanical model is developed to estimate the fracture toughness by considering the contribution of various fibers and temperature. These findings provide essential insights into the high-temperature behavior of MSHFRC, contributing to the advancement of more resilient and fire-resistant composite materials for engineering applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22879,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 104896"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520198","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 explore the rockburst process of structural planes under dynamic disturbances, true triaxial tests with coupled dynamic − static loading considering structural planes and periodic weak disturbances were carried out. Cubic specimens with circular holes and pre − fabricated cracks, simulating structural planes, were used as test objects. The damage and micro − cracking processes of the surrounding rock were monitored by a high − speed camera system and an acoustic emission system under three different disturbance frequency and amplitude conditions (Condition 1: 2 Hz, 40 KN; Condition 2: 6 Hz, 30 KN; Condition 3: 10 Hz, 15 KN). A comparative analysis was conducted on the failure processes, strength characteristics, acoustic emission features, debris fractal characteristics, and damage morphologies of specimens with and without structural planes under the three weak dynamic cyclic disturbance conditions. The main conclusions are (1) During the uniform loading stage, discontinuities change the occurrence time, location, and intensity of rockburst. During the disturbance, the damage of specimens with structural planes mainly occurs on the side without structural planes, and the damage intensity and frequency are lower than those of specimens without structural planes.(2) Both structural planes and disturbances weaken rock masses to some extent. Different disturbance conditions have different impacts on structure − controlled rockbursts. An increase in disturbance amplitude promotes new failures in rock masses, while an increase in disturbance frequency facilitates the expansion and connection of original micro − cracks.(3) The presence of structural planes changes the damage pattern of specimens. More shear cracks are observed in specimens with structural planes. The disturbance exacerbates stress concentration, leading to more severe damage to the rock mass.
