基于非接触式麦克风冲击共振测试的钢-混组合结构界面脱空损伤识别方法研究

针对现有无损检测技术在钢-混组合结构界面混凝土脱空损伤识别问题上普遍存在的测试成本高、识别精度有限及操作过程复杂等不足之处,提出了一种基于麦克风冲击共振测试的非接触式检测方法。首先,基于四边约束矩形薄板振动理论,将钢-混凝土板局部脱空处钢板简化为四边固支约束的板壳模型进行分析。通过在ABAQUS中建立考虑流-固耦合的钢-混凝土板有限元模型,将模拟所得脱空处钢板自振频率值与理论解析结果进行对比,证明该经验公式可有效适用于脱空区域处局部钢板自振频率的估计当中。其次,依据相关声学理论研究成果,利用所建立的有限元模型进行了外部激励下钢-混组合结构声压场信号分布特征研究,结果表明设置及未设置脱空损伤的有限元模型所产生的声压响应存在明显不同,且未脱空模型中信号响应具有幅值大、周期长等特征;同时,针对一钢-混凝土板设置了8种不同类型的损伤工况,并利用麦克风传感器分别进行了基于冲击共振测试的脱空损伤识别。试验结果表明,麦克风摆放位置对测试所得声压信号频响函数基本特征的影响程度并不显著;且针对本试验所设置的损伤工况,该方法基本均能实现有效识别,但对平面尺寸在60 mm以下区域的测试效果并不明显。最后,在对一特定损伤区域进行栅格化处理的基础上,通过开展基于麦克风冲击共振法的损伤成像测试,对该脱空区域的平面轮廓进行了有效识别。除此之外,将试验测试效果分别与传统红外热像检测法、超声波探测法进行了对比分析,验证了该麦克风冲击共振法能够较好地适用于钢-混组合结构的脱空损伤识别问题当中,且具有非接触式、测试成本低、识别效果显著及操作便捷等优点。     

Extension of plasticity theory to debonding,grain dissolution,and chemical damage of calcarenites

The mechanical properties of calcarenites are known to be significantly affected by water saturation: both stiffness and strength decrease for wetting in the short term and for chemical dissolution in the long term. Both processes mainly affect bonds among grains: immediately after inundation depositional bonds fall in suspension, whereas diagenetic bonds dissolve more slowly. In this paper, the authors started from the micro‐structural analysis of the weathering processes to conceive a strain hardening hydro‐chemo‐mechanical coupled elastoplastic constitutive model. The concept of extended hardening rules is here enriched: weathering functions have been determined by employing a micro to macro simplified upscaling procedure. Chemical damage is incorporated into the formulation by means of a scalar damage function. Its evolution is also described by using a multiscale approach. A new term is added to the strain rate tensor in order to incorporate the dissolution induced chemical deformations developing once the soft rock is turned into a granular material. A calibration procedure for the constitutive parameters is suggested, and the model is validated by using both coupled and uncoupled chemo‐mechanical experimental test results.

Scattering of SH waves from a partially debonded rigid elliptic cylinder

Scattering of SH waves by an embedded rigid elliptic cylinder of finite length, which is partially debonded from elastic soil is studied. The debonding regions are modeled as multiple elliptic arc-shaped interface cracks with non-contacting faces. The scattered wave field is expressed as a Mathieu function expansion with unknown coefficients. The mixed boundary conditions of the problem lead to a set of singular integral equations of the first type in terms of the dislocation density functions of the cracks. A quadrature method is used to solve these integral equations numerically. The results for dynamic stress intensity factors, far-field pattern of the displacement and scattering cross sections are presented. We particularly discuss the effects of the ratio of the short radius to long radius of the cylinder.     

Bonding degradation and stress–dilatancy response of weakly cemented sands

The progressive bond breakage of artificially cemented sands induced by shear straining was investigated through conventional isotropically consolidated drained triaxial compression tests. Sand specimens were prepared with a low degree of cementation by adopting a chemical grout. Test results were interpreted in terms of two stress–dilatancy theories for cohesive-frictional materials proposed in literature. The influence of debonding on the stress–dilatancy behaviour of cemented sands was analysed with particular emphasis on the ‘delayed dilatancy’ phenomenon. A bonding degradation curve was determined for each test relating the interparticle cohesion (c) to the magnitude of the total plastic strain vector (ε_d) and a bond degradation rate factor (D_c) was assessed from each curve. The maximum value of interparticle cohesion (c₀) before the onset of bond degradation under shearing was found to correspond with a sharp decrease in the soil stiffness of the specimens. The influence of the effective confining stress (p^′_c) on both c₀ and D_c parameters gathered from each test was also ascertained.
