Cracking Processes and Coalescence Modes in Rock-Like Specimens with Two Parallel Pre-existing Cracks
2018
Overview
The cracks in a rock tend to initiate, propagate, and coalesce under loading. Based on the digital image correlation (DIC) method, uniaxial compression tests are carried out on rock-like specimens with various arrangements of two parallel cracks. The full-field strain and failure features of the rock-like materials are observed and analysis by a self-developed code. Two process zones are defined according to the differences between the shear strain field and the tensile strain field: a shear process zone and a tensile process zone. The following results are obtained in this study. (1) Three coalescence modes can be observed using the DIC method: a shear coalescence mode, a tensile coalescence mode, and a mixed coalescence mode. (2) At the microscopic level, the bridge angle and crack arrangement affect the formation of the process zone; at the macroscopic level, they determine the crack propagation path and the failure mode. (3) The peak strength of the rock-like specimen is related to the crack inclination angle and the bridge angle. (4) Numerical modeling by the expanded distinct element method and the strain strength criterion simulates the different coalescence modes of the experimental study efficiently.
