修正应变能密度因子准则及岩石裂纹扩展研究

由应变能密度因子理论得出裂纹沿着形状改变比能密度因子最小的方向扩展,但理论中所使用的应力强度因子是在拉应力作用下计算得出的,而自然界中的岩体通常处于压应力场中。因此,在修正的应变能密度因子理论的基础上,结合压缩荷载作用下的裂纹尖端应力强度因子,并考虑裂纹面之间的摩擦作用得出了针对压缩荷载作用下的岩石裂纹扩展的应变能密度因子理论,并运用该理论分析了裂纹倾角、围压以及裂面摩擦力对破裂角的影响,将分析结果与已有的试验和数值分析结果进行比较,取得了良好的一致性。分析得出,在单轴压缩荷载作用下临界破裂荷载随着裂纹倾角的增大而先减小、后增大,并且一个裂纹倾角对应多个破裂角,即裂纹朝多个方向发展;在三轴压缩荷载作用下,破裂角与围压大小有关。此研究成果可为压应力场中岩石裂纹扩展的数值模拟提供参考。     

Influence of inclination angles and confining pressures on mechanical behavior of rock materials containing a preexisting crack

To deeply understand the cracking mechanical behavior of brittle rock materials, numerical simulations of a rock specimen containing a single preexisting crack were carried out by the expanded distinct element method (EDEM). Based on the analysis of crack tips and a comparison between stress- and strain-based methods, the strain strength criterion was adopted in the numerical models to simulate the crack initiation and propagation processes under uniaxial and biaxial compression. The simulation results indicated that the crack inclination angle and confining pressure had a great influence on the tensile and shear properties, peak strength, and failure behaviors, which also showed a good agreement with the experimental results. If the specimen was under uniaxial compression, it was found that the initiation stress and peak strength first decreased and then increased with an increasing inclination angle α. Regardless of the size of α, tensile cracks initiated prior to shear cracks. If α was small (such as α ≤ 30°), the tensile cracks dominated the specimen failure, the wing cracks propagated towards the direction of uniaxial compression, and the propagation of shear cracks was inhibited by the high concentration of tensile stress. In contrast, if α was large (such as α ≥ 45°), mixed cracks dominated the specimen failure, and the external loading favored the further propagation of shear cracks. Analyzing the numerical results of the specimen with a 45° inclination angle under biaxial compression, it was revealed that lateral confinement had a significant influence on the initiation sequence and the mechanical properties of new cracks.     

模拟岩石中裂纹扩展连接的近场动力学方法

脆性岩石材料在压应力作用下常出现两类裂纹：翼型张拉裂纹和次生剪切裂纹。近场动力学是一种新型的无网格数值计算方法。在近场动力学理论中,采用积分形式的控制方程代替微分形式的控制方程使得该数值算法在断裂问题上具有独特的优势。将Mohr-Coulomb准则和最大主应力准则引入非普通“态”基近场动力学理论中,分别用于模拟材料常见的压剪和张拉破坏。这种扩展的非普通“态”基近场动力学可以有效地模拟脆性岩石材料在多种受力状态下的裂纹起裂、扩展和连接问题。通过5个不同的数值算例说明该数值算法在处理脆性岩石材料断裂问题的有效性和准确性。首先,通过模拟含圆孔的弹性板拉伸数值试验说明该数值算法的有效性和准确性。其次,数值模拟了简单三点弯曲试验以及不使用其他外部准则条件下动荷载作用下裂纹的分叉试验,所得结果与其他试验结果或数值结果相吻合,从而验证了该理论的有效性。然后,模拟了包含斜裂纹的巴西圆盘试验,裂纹扩展路径和计算所得的断裂韧度同样吻合于试验结果。最后,模拟了单轴压缩状态下,预制裂纹试样的裂纹扩展和连接问题。将该数值算法与试验结果对比表明,所提出的数值方法可以模拟和预测岩石类材料的张拉和压剪裂纹的起裂、扩展和连接行为。     

基于改进数值流形法的接触裂纹问题研究

接触裂纹问题在工程结构中较为常见。结合数值流形法在裂纹处理上的优势,分析了压剪荷载作用下的接触裂纹问题,模拟了压剪裂纹渐进扩展过程。为了减少由于裂纹尖端位置不同而产生的误差,对裂纹尖端附近一定范围内的每一个物理覆盖附加奇异覆盖函数项,并根据裂纹尖端位置和单元含奇异物理覆盖的数目进行分区积分。选取一个压剪破坏算例,分析了法向接触力对应力强度因子计算结果的影响,并模拟了其渐进破坏过程。计算结果表明,所提方法在压剪裂纹问题方面的可行性,与未细化和覆盖细化方法得到的结果相比,更能准确地描述裂纹扩展路径。法向接触力对II型应力强度因子的贡献为0,对I型应力强度因子的影响较大,相对误差随网格密度变化明显,且法向接触力对I型应力强度因子的影响要比直接施加内压时的影响大。     

T应力对岩石裂纹扩展路径及起裂强度的影响研究

经典断裂判据在分析岩石起裂角度及强度时,往往只选择裂尖应力场展开式中的r1/2奇异应力项,而将高阶的O(r1/2)项以及非奇异应力项（T应力）忽略,造成理论预测并不能完全吻合实际的试验结果。在充分考虑非奇异应力项对裂纹扩展影响作用的基础上,利用最大周向应力判据重新研究了岩石类材料脆性破坏的I、II及I-II复合型裂纹扩展。研究结果表明：（1）纯I型裂纹状态下,T应力为负时（压缩）,裂纹的扩展是稳定的;而当T 应力为正时（拉伸）,只有当 ,裂纹才沿着裂纹方向扩展（经典断裂判据所预测的方向）,而其他情况下裂纹的扩展将发生偏转;（2）纯II型裂纹时,不仅沿着裂纹方向的T应力影响起裂角度及强度,垂直裂纹面上的N应力也同样具有重要的影响作用;（3）对I-II型裂纹而言,修正后的最大周向应力准则与试验结果吻合良好,且正的T应力增大开裂角,而负的T应力降低开裂角。通过控制T应力的大小,可以对裂纹扩展方向加以控制,从而使得裂纹扩展偏离最危险的方向,最大地限度阻止或延缓结构整体断裂的发生。     

偶应力对层状岩体结构面边界层效应的影响

在压剪载荷作用下,层状岩体结构面附近的剪切变形梯度非常显著。基于偶应力理论,研究层状岩体结构面边界层效应。利用有限单元方法进行数值计算,并将偶应力理论的计算结果与经典弹性理论的结果进行比较。采用Serendipity单元（S单元）,导出S单元内的插值函数及位移插值公式。利用ANSYS进行前处理,并基于Matlab编制经典理论和偶应力理论相应的计算和后处理程序。结果表明：偶应力对层状岩体结构面剪应变有显著影响,尺度效应明显。相对于经典弹性理论,在偶应力理论中,应变量减小,并在边界层附近出现过渡区;剪应变突变现象得以改善,但剪应力不再连续。特征长度影响过渡区域的大小,但第二剪切模量、泊松比、弹性模量不改变过渡区域的大小。     

岩石材料裂纹扩展的改进近场动力学方法模拟

在传统键基近场动力学模型的基础上,提出可以反映岩石类材料应力-应变变化特点的改进型模型,弥补了传统近场动力学模型在模拟岩石类材料时无法反映岩石内应力随应变先增加再减小最后破坏这一特性的不足。运用改进型模型,对含有单裂纹试件在不同预制裂纹角度及拉伸荷载条件下的裂纹扩展过程进行了数值模拟,分析了开裂角度在不同预制裂纹角度及拉伸荷载条件下的变化。结果表明：预制角度及拉伸荷载对开裂角度都有影响,在试件周围拉荷载接近的情况下会获得较小的开裂角,并且在拉荷载一定的条件下开裂角会有先增加后减少的规律。同时模拟了含裂纹岩石在单轴压缩条件下的裂纹扩展情况,将数值模拟的结果与室内试验的结果对比,验证了所提出新模型的有效性。所提出的新模型可以较好地模拟岩石类材料在拉荷载条件下的力学特性,在岩石数值模拟方面有着较为广泛的应用前景。     

基于3D-ILC含内裂纹孔口脆性固体断裂特性试验

孔口问题为力学领域中经典问题之一,也是岩土如隧洞、巷道等工程领域重要的问题之一。随断裂力学的发展,对含裂纹孔口问题的研究也不断深入。但是,以往研究多集中在二维问题或者含表面裂纹的孔口问题,含纯内裂纹的孔口问题研究报道较少。基于3D-ILC技术（对表面无任何影响的情况下,凭空生成任意参数的深埋内裂纹）,在含有孔口的脆性材料中生成内裂纹,开展单轴压缩试验,与无裂纹完整孔口试样试验结果及已有文献进行对比,并开展理论与数值模拟研究。结果表明：（1）3D-ILC与传统方法相比,裂纹特征更为真实,为解决断裂力学中的三维内裂纹问题奠定了基础;（2）完整孔口试样裂纹形态主要有主裂纹与八字形裂纹;（3）含内裂纹试样裂纹形态以内裂纹扩展为主,主要有翼裂纹、次生裂纹、反翼裂纹、反向次生裂纹、竖向扭曲裂纹与主裂纹6种;（4）含裂纹孔口试样最终的破坏荷载比无裂纹孔口试样平均低76.49%,起裂应力较无裂纹孔口试样平均低96.72%;（5）通过数值模拟对完整孔口试样、含主裂纹孔口试样、含内裂纹孔口试样的裂纹扩展进行定性分析,与试验结论一致。该研究结果为含三维内裂纹的孔口脆性材料的断裂理论研究提供了物理试验基础。     

单轴压缩条件下硅质粉砂岩应力阈值研究

岩石裂纹闭合应力(σ_cc)、起裂应力(σ_ci)及损伤应力(σ_cd)是岩石压缩变形破坏过程中的关键应力阈值，应力阈值的确定对分析岩石宏观力学特性及研究微观裂纹演化规律具有重要意义。本文研究了硅质粉砂岩在单轴压缩条件下应力阈值确定的方法。针对硅质粉砂岩的应力-应变曲线开展不同方法的计算分析，判定不同方法下应力阈值获取的可靠性，并采用一种优化方法获取硅质粉砂岩试样的应力阈值。结果表明，裂隙体积应变法获取闭合应力与起裂应力的求解精度易受泊松比的影响，移动点回归法易受主观因素的干扰，横向应变响应法能减小人为主观误差，但其求解方法未阐释物理意义；采用基于移动点回归技术的裂隙体积应变法减小了岩石泊松比选取对应力阈值获取的干扰，且计算结果物理意义相对明确。     

Crack propagation analysis with Galerkin boundary element method

This paper describes the application of symmetric Galerkin boundary element methods (SGBEM) for the analysis of a 2D crack propagation problem. The sub-domain SGBEM for crack problem is derived. The coefficient matrix is completely symmetric. Cohesive crack model is used to simulate crack propagation. The increment control method for crack propagation and the method for unknown crack propagation path have been derived for high-order element. Two-stage interpolation method called the ‘quasi-higher order element method’ (QHOEM) is then proposed to solve the double integrals. In the initial stage, it uses higher order elements to interpolate the field variables, and for the numerical integration involved, it further uses interpolation functions to decompose the higher order elements into lower order elements so that the existing analytical integration can be applied. A finite rectangular plate containing a centre crack growth and four-points bending beam problem have been analysed to check the accuracy of the proposed method. For actual application, a dam buttress with an edge crack has been analysed and the results are found to be in agreement with the other numerical and experimental results.

自由边界形状与近边界裂纹相互作用模型研究

大量的研究表明, 岩爆发生条件与岩石的力学性能有关。岩体中微裂纹的形成、扩展和汇合对岩体的力学性能产生显著影响,可以导致材料的逐渐劣化直至破坏。对于单轴压缩的岩石试件,其破坏型式主要是微裂纹的摩擦滑移、自相似平面扩展和弯折扩展。基于断裂力学机制,对单轴压缩荷载下3种不同边界形状,即直边、凸形、凹形情况下近边界原生斜裂纹的扩展进行了理论研究,并运用FLAC数值模拟技术,建立了基于Interface界面单元的裂纹扩展数值模型。近直边界及凸形边界情况的裂纹扩展使用梁渐近模型来解析薄片岩层的屈曲断裂问题,对于近凹形边界情况给予简化,提出了裂纹－圆－椭圆相互作用的修正模型并进行理论分析。研究结果表明,基于Interface界面单元的裂纹扩展的数值模型正确,解析解与数值解吻合较好,相应的梁渐近模型及裂纹-圆-椭圆模型可以合理地分析应力调整过程中裂纹的扩展和裂纹与不同洞室表面形状的相互作用问题,为岩爆工程及理论研究提出了新的理论依据。     

Numerical modeling of hydraulic fracture propagation,closure and reopening using XFEM with application to in‐situ stress estimation

In this paper, a fully coupled model is developed for numerical modeling of hydraulic fracturing in partially saturated weak porous formations using the extended finite element method, which provides an effective means to simulate the coupled hydro‐mechanical processes occurring during hydraulic fracturing. The developed model is for short fractures where plane strain assumptions are valid. The propagation of the hydraulic fracture is governed by the cohesive crack model, which accounts for crack closure and reopening. The developed model allows for fluid flow within the open part of the crack and crack face contact resulting from fracture closure. To prevent the unphysical crack face interpenetration during the closing mode, the crack face contact or self‐contact condition is enforced using the penalty method. Along the open part of the crack, the leakage flux through the crack faces is obtained directly as a part of the solution without introducing any simplifying assumption. If the crack undergoes the closing mode, zero leakage flux condition is imposed along the contact zone. An application of the developed model is shown in numerical modeling of pump‐in/shut‐in test. It is illustrated that the developed model is able to capture the salient features bottomhole pressure/time records exhibit and can extract the confining stress perpendicular to the direction of the hydraulic fracture propagation from the fracture closure pressure.

基于Drucker-Prager（下简称D-P）准则,建立压缩载荷作用下的非贯通节理岩石的弹塑性断裂模型。针对节理岩石小范围屈服翼裂纹尖端塑性区,推导了D-P屈服准则的纯I、纯II及I、II复合型3种翼裂纹无量纲塑性区径长函数,并与Mises准则的塑性区进行对比;结果表明,D-P准则的I型和复合型塑性区较Mises屈服准则的塑性区大,且其II型及I、II复合型塑性区在翼裂纹上下表面不连续。进一步,引入断裂软化因子以表征节理岩石裂隙断裂扩展后的断裂软化规律,考虑非贯通节理岩石复合型断裂软化,是由于节理尖端翼裂纹应变能密度超过最小应变能密度导致其成核扩展引起的,提出用应变能密度的指数函数形式表征断裂软化变量的演化;塑性屈服函数采用Borja等的应力张量3个不变量的硬化/软化函数,反映塑性内变量及应力状态对硬化函数的影响;建立节理岩石的弹塑性断裂本构关系及其数值算法,并用回映隐式积分算法编制了弹塑性断裂模型的程序。以单轴压缩下非贯通节理岩石为例,分析岩石断裂韧度、节理摩擦系数和节理倾角等参数的影响,结果表明,所提出的弹塑性断裂模型与数值和试验结果比较吻合。     

模拟岩石压剪状态下主次裂纹萌生开裂的扩展有限元法

压剪应力状态下,岩石类材料中常见两类裂纹：翼型张拉裂纹和次生压剪裂纹。基于扩展有限元方法（XFEM）,提出了模拟压剪裂纹面作用机制的扩展有限元位移增强方案,并给出了扩展有限元法分叉裂纹处理方法,分别用最大周向拉应力准则和Mohr-Coulomb准则判断张拉裂纹和压剪裂纹的萌生和扩展。基于Matlab平台编写了数值计算程序Betaxfem 2D,通过两个算例对所提方案进行了验证,所得结果与有限元法（FEM）计算结果吻合很好。模拟了单轴压缩载荷下含预制闭合裂纹试件的裂纹分叉、扩展过程,与试验结果的对比表明,所提方案可以模拟和预测岩石类材料张拉、压剪交互分叉裂纹的萌生和扩展行为。     

层状盐岩力学和变形特性数值试验研究

对含泥岩夹层层状盐岩力学和变形特性进行有限元分析。首先,用数值试验方法预测含泥岩夹层层状盐岩体宏观等效弹性力学参数,然后,建立层状盐岩复合体细观有限元模型,研究其在单轴和三轴压缩荷载下盐岩、泥岩以及界面细观应力应变场分布特征、应力集中问题,并将上述研究与已有的理论和试验成果进行对比。结果表明,运用细观有限元方法预测层状盐岩宏观弹性力学参数是一种直观有效的方法;泥岩和盐岩力学特性上的不匹配导致在层状盐岩的泥岩夹层中以及界面边缘处存在较为明显的应力集中和差异变形。单轴压缩时,泥岩体由于侧向变形能力差会受到横向拉伸应力作用而盐岩层则相应的受到横向压应力作用,三轴压缩时因围压和偏应力大小不同层状盐岩细观应力应变场分布特征则更为复杂;此方法能更为直观的分析层状盐岩的变形和破损特征,这一分析结果对进一步进行层状盐岩体内油（气）储库硐室稳定性分析提供了理论基础。     

岩石声速与其损伤及声发射关系研究

首先,建立了单轴压缩过程岩石损伤参量、应变与声速之间的定量关系式,分析了不同均质度对单轴压缩过程岩石声速的影响,结果表明,随着均匀度的增加,单轴压缩过程中声速由平缓变化到急剧变化,这与已有的岩石声发射数值模拟分析结果是一致的;其次,根据建立的声速与应变的关系公式,通过单轴压缩过程岩石声速与应变实测结果的回归分析,得到了具有较高精度的回归方程,从而通过试验验证了所建立的关系式的正确性;最后,从损伤的角度讨论了单轴压缩过程岩石声速与声发射的关系,得出了Kaiser点应位于声速初始下降点附近的结论,为岩石声发射测量地应力试验中Kaiser点的确定提供了新的方法。     

Effect of inherent microcrack populations on rock tensile fracture behaviour: numerical study based on embedded discontinuity finite elements

Inherent microcrack populations have a significant effect on the fracture behaviour of natural rocks. The present study addresses this topic in numerical simulations of uniaxial tension and three-point bending tests. For this end, a rock fracture model based on multiple intersecting embedded discontinuity finite elements is developed. The inherent (pre-existing) microcrack populations are represented by pre-embedded randomly oriented discontinuity populations. Crack shielding (through spurious locking) is prevented by allowing a new crack to be introduced, upon violation of the Rankine criterion, in an element with an initial crack unfavourably oriented to the loading direction. Rock heterogeneity is accounted for by random clusters of triangular finite elements representing different minerals of granitic numerical rock. Numerical simulations demonstrate the strength lowering effect of initial microcrack populations. This effect is substantially stronger under uniaxial tension, due to the uniform stress state, than in semicircular three-point bending having a non-uniform stress state with a clear local maximum of tensile stress.

     

Stress corrosion cracking of Lac du Bonnet granite in tension and compression

Rocks subjected to long-term loading have been known to suffer microcracking. The rate of cracking is sensitive to the type of the applied stress (tensile or compressive), and the magnitude of the stress relative to the instantaneous strength. In addition, crack growth is influenced by the environment (pressure and temperature) including the presence or absence of moisture.For tensile loading, the sensitivity of granite to time-dependent cracking is demonstrated through a fracture mechanics test known as double torsion. The crack velocity versus stress intensity function is established for two environments, room temperature and humidity and room temperature and 100 percent humidity.For compressive loading, time dependent cracking is evaluated from creep tests conducted in uniaxial compression in the same two environments. The rate of cracking is defined by finding the functional relationship between the rate of crack growth, expressed as the rate of crack volume strain, and uniaxial compressive stress.A variety of mathematical functions has been fitted to the obtained data. The traditionally-used power and exponential relationships give good correlation for both crack velocity and crack volume strain rate.The crack volume strain rate versus stress function can be integrated to obtain a lifetime estimate for Lac du Bonnet granite. After 1 000 years of loading in uniaxial compression at room temperature and 100 percent humidity, the strength of this granite could reduce from 225 MPa to 90–100 MPa.     

Simulation of localization failure with strain‐gradient‐enhanced damage mechanics

Strain gradient implies an important characteristic in localized damage deformation, which can be observed in the softening state of brittle materials, and strain gradients constitute the basic behaviours of localization failure area of the materials. The most important point in strain gradient is its damaging function including an internal length scale, which can be used to express the scale effects of mechanical responses of brittle rock mass. By extending the strain gradient theory and introducing an intrinsic material length scale into the constitutive law, the authors develop an isotropic damage model as well as a micro‐crack‐based anisotropic damage model for rock‐like materials in this paper. The proposed models were used to simulate the damage localization under uniaxial tension and plain strain compression, respectively. The simulated results well illustrated the potential of these models in dealing with the well‐known mesh‐sensitivity problem in FEM. In the computation, elements with C₁ continuity have been implemented to incorporate the proposed models for failure localization. When regular rectangle elements are encountered, the coupling between finite difference method (FDM) and conventional finite element method (FEM) is used to avoid large modification to the existing FEM code, and to obtain relatively higher efficiency and reasonably good accuracy. Application of the anisotropic model to the 3D‐non‐linear FEM analysis of Ertan arch dam has been conducted and the results of its numerical simulation coincide well with those from the failure behaviours obtained by Ertan geophysical model test. In this paper, new applications of gradient theories and models for a feasible approach to simulate localized damage in brittle materials are presented. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

模拟岩石破裂过程的块体单元离散弹簧模型

在变形体离散元的基础上建立块体单元离散弹簧模型,并应用于岩石破裂过程的数值模拟研究。该模型以连续介质力学理论为基础,将块体单元离散为具有明确物理意义的弹簧系统,通过对弹簧系统的能量泛函求变分获得各弹簧的刚度系数,进而可以直接利用弹簧刚度求解单元的变形和应力,提高计算效率。以重力作用下的岩质边坡计算为例,通过与传统的有限元进行对比,验证该模型弹性计算结果的正确性。在该基础上,引入Mohr-Coulomb与最大拉应力的复合破坏准则,判断单元的破坏状态及破裂方向。当单元的内部破坏面确定后,则通过块体切割的方式实现单元破坏,并建立单元边界和单元内部的双重破裂机制,实现块体由连续到非连续的破裂过程,进而显示的模拟裂纹的形成和扩展。最后,以巴西圆盘劈裂、单轴压缩破裂以及三点弯曲梁等典型算例验证该方法,结果表明该方法可以较好地模拟拉伸、压剪等应力状态下裂纹的形成和扩展,从而可模拟岩石介质由连续到非连续的破裂过程。
