Analysis of crack movements observed in an alpine bedrock cliff

Crack widths and rock temperatures were monitored on an andestic bedrock cliff in the summit area of the Daisetsu Mountains, Hokkaido, northern Japan. Sequential data recorded the gradual widening of a crack to the point of critical crack extension, which resulted in catastrophic rock breakage. The data indicate that a combination of liquid water in?ltration into crack tip and subsequent freezing is the most signi?cant factor contributing to critical crack extension. The recorded sub‐critical crack movements involved a number of minor crack extensions and contractions, the timing of which correlates well with the magnitude of the reconstructed thermal stresses at the crack tip derived from thermal deformation of the plate‐shaped rock fragment. Larger crack extensions occurred when stress at the crack tip exceeded a threshold value, possibly re?ecting the control of rock fracture mechanics by which cracks are thought to propagate when the stress intensity factor at the crack tip exceeds the threshold values for stress corrosion cracking and the fracture toughness of the material.

水位下降卸荷诱发库岸边坡快速失稳机理分析   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

包太  刘新荣  税月 《水文地质工程地质》2004,31(5):7-11

本文以某工程现场岩质边坡为例，采用与传统裂隙水压力分布不同的水压力分布方式和边坡裂隙中可能发生的水锤效应相耦合，分析研究了岩质边坡发生滑动的机理及稳定性。研究表明，本文所采用的水压力分布方式较为符合边坡中的水压力分布实际情况，可以给出一个较为合理的稳定系数。当考虑水锤效应时，岩质边坡的稳定系数大大降低，说明水锤效应加剧了边坡破坏失稳的过程。本文所采用的水压力分布方式与边坡裂隙中的水锤效应相耦合的计算方法，在边坡稳定性分析中具有参考意义。  相似文献

Discrete element model for crack propagation in brittle materials          下载免费PDF全文

Ba Danh Le  Georg Koval  Cyrille Chazallon 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2016,40(4):583-595

We propose a discrete element model for brittle rupture. The material consists of a bidimensional set of closed‐packed particles in contact. We explore the isotropic elastic behavior of this regular structure to derive a rupture criterion compatible to continuum mechanics. We introduce a classical criterion of mixed mode crack propagation based on the value of the stress intensity factors, obtained by the analysis of two adjacent contacts near a crack tip. Hence, the toughness becomes a direct parameter of the model, without any calibration procedure. We verify the consistency of the formulation as well as its convergence by comparison with theoretical solutions of tensile cracks, a pre‐cracked beam, and an inclined crack under biaxial stress.

A model for moisture and heat flow in fractured unsaturated porous media          下载免费PDF全文

The present study investigates propagation of a cohesive crack in non‐isothermal unsaturated porous medium under mode I conditions. Basic points of skeleton deformation, moisture, and heat transfer for unsaturated porous medium are presented. Boundary conditions on the crack surface that consist of mechanical interaction of the crack and the porous medium, water, and heat flows through the crack are taken into consideration. For spatial discretization, the extended finite element method is used. This method uses enriched shape functions in addition to ordinary shape functions for approximation of displacement, pressure, and temperature fields. The Heaviside step function and the distance function are exploited as enrichment functions for representing the crack surfaces displacement and the discontinuous vertical gradients of the pressure and temperature fields along the crack, respectively. For temporal discretization, backward finite difference scheme is applied. Problems solved from the literature show the validity of the model as well as the dependency of structural response on the material properties and loading.

Cracking risk of partially saturated porous media—Part I: Microporoelasticity model     

Bernhard Pichler  Luc Dormieux 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2010,34(2):135-157

Drying of deformable porous media results in their shrinkage, and it may cause cracking provided that shrinkage deformations are hindered by kinematic constraints. This is the motivation to develop a thermodynamics‐based microporoelasticity model for the assessment of cracking risk in partially saturated porous geomaterials. The study refers to 3D representative volume elements of porous media, including a two‐scale double‐porosity material with a pore network comprising (at the mesoscale) 3D mesocracks in the form of oblate spheroids, and (at the microscale) spherical micropores of different sizes. Surface tensions prevailing in all interfaces between solid, liquid, and gaseous matters are taken into account. To establish a thermodynamics‐based crack propagation criterion for a two‐scale double‐porosity material, the potential energy of the solid is derived, accounting—in particular—for mesocrack geometry changes (main original contribution) and for effective micropore pressures, which depend (due to surface tensions) on the pore radius. Differentiating the potential energy with respect to crack density parameter yields the thermodynamical driving force for crack propagation, which is shown to be governed by an effective macrostrain. It is found that drying‐related stresses in partially saturated mesocracks reduce the cracking risk. The drying‐related effective underpressures in spherical micropores, in turn, result in a tensile eigenstress of the matrix in which the mesocracks are embedded. This way, micropores increase the mesocracking risk. Model application to the assessment of cracking risk during drying of argillite is the topic of the companion paper (Part II).

对蓬安县三元水库大坝外坡裂缝产生的原因及整治工程的探讨     

罗俊 《工程地质学报》1994,2(4):84-92

本文通过对蓬安县三元水库大坝外坡裂缝产生的原因分析，进而运用岩、土力学的理论与方法反算推论出了裂缝的产生不是深层坝体土滑动引起的，而是局部浅层坝体土在水的诱发作用下作蠕滑-拉裂变形所产生的。在明确了大坝裂缝产生的原因后，提出了一系列相应整治工程措施，以达到彻底根治裂缝和稳固大坝的目的。  相似文献

应用于复合型脆断的综合断裂理论     

李波扬 《武汉大学学报(信息科学版)》1991,(1)

现有的复合型裂纹扩展断裂准则大多只考虑了裂纹尖端附近某一点处的某个力学参量。本文同时考虑了正应力、剪应力及塑性区的影响,并在此基础上提出了一个新的复合型断裂理论——综合断裂理论。同近年来的实验数据进行比较,得到了与实验十分接近的结果,并且还解释了其它理论所不能解释的实验现象。  相似文献
