An experimental study of the dynamic features of shadow areas of caustics in response to loading/unloading fracture

IntroductionCHEN (1981), GENG, et al (1980), YAO (1981) and others have found out that different stress paths can lead to fracture. They have further studied the precursory features of wave velocity ratio, acoustic emission, and so on, in this situation. YIN (1987), YIN and YIN (1991), Yin, et al (1994, 1995, 2000) have put forward the concept of loading-unloading response ratio. When a mechanical test system is in a stable state, the path of its response to loading is the same as that…     

加载破裂和卸载破裂的焦散阴影区动态特征的实验研究

以实时全息干涉计量方法和焦散阴影光学法，用有机玻璃试样直观、形象地研究加载过程和卸载过程破裂时的应力（应变）场、塑性区或成核区（阴影区）不同地动态特征变化．结果发现，在低应力时，预制裂缝端点先出现应变核（条纹密集区），进而形成焦散阴影区．这些核和阴影区会随荷载增加变大，随卸载而减小．在一定的压力范围内重复加载卸载（循环加载），焦散阴影区则反复增大缩小；但在高应力时，尤其在将出现大破裂时，加载和卸载的焦散阴影区变化是不可逆的，其变化也完全不同．加载破裂时的焦散阴影区由慢到快迅速扩展；而卸载时的焦散阴影区则扩展较慢，并且在尖角形前方有一圆形阴影．
