Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of crack problems through fracture mechanics has been applied to the study of materials such as glass, metals and ceramics because relatively simple fracture criteria describe the failure of these materials. The increased attention paid to experimental rock fracture mechanics has led to major contributions to the solving of geophysical problems. The text presents a concise treatment of the physics and mathematics of a representative selection of problems from areas such as earthquake mechanics and prediction, hydraulic fracturing, hot dry rock geothermal energy, fault mechanics, and dynamic fragmentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Increasing need for mining and constructing underground facilities at a greater depth and under high in-situ stresses have introduced new challenges in the form of brittle rock fracture. Brittle fracture is a complex mechanism comprising different stages of failure including initiation, propagation and coalescence. Brittle fracture studies in rock can be undertaken at a wide range of scales from the micro scale i.e. microcrack/grain scale in laboratory samples through the meso scale (underground excavations) to the macro scale such as in-situ engineered/natural rock slopes or block cave mines. At all these scales the rock/rock mass is subjected to "damage" which influences the engineering performance. Improved understanding of brittle damage at various scales requires development of damage intensity measures to quantify brittle fracture for both pre-existing and stress-induced fractures and the use of advanced numerical modelling approach. In this study, a state-of-the-art numerical modelling approach based on the combined finite/discrete element method (FDEM) is integrated with discrete fracture network engineering, DFNE, in order to evaluate brittle damage at varied scales. The influence of micro-heterogeneity is studied at the laboratory scale by incorporating a micro discrete fracture network (μDFN). A wide range of laboratory testing including Brazilian, uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial compression tests are modeled to investigated the complete 3D fracture process. At the meso scale, mechanisms leading to strain bursting and spalling damage around underground openings are studied focusing on the influence of pre-existing cracks in a massive rock mass. Finally at the macro scale, a finite/discrete element modelling approach coupled with a discrete fracture network (FDEM-DFN) is utilized to analyze the hanging wall surface subsidence associated with sub-level caving. A suite of model data interpretation methods including time-displacement hanging wall deformation characterization, numerical inverse velocity analysis and virtual hanging wall inclinometers is adopted to improve our understanding of the extent and mechanism of hanging wall failure with mine advance.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both joint sets and fault-related fractures serve as important conduits for fluid flow. In the former case, they can strongly influence both permeability and permeability anisotropy, with implications for production of water, hydrocarbons and contaminant transport. The latter can affect issues of fluid flow, such as whether a given fault seals or leaks, and fault mechanics. These fractures are commonly interpreted as Natural Hydraulic Fractures (NHFs), i.e., mode 1 fractures produced when pore fluid pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the rock. Various mathematical models have been a rich source of hypotheses to explain the formation and propagation of NHFs, but have provided only limited information and nothing about processes of fracture initiation in originally intact rock. Recent laboratory experiments of French et al. (2012) have advanced our understanding of mechanical controls on fracture initiation and spacing. Here, detailed analysis of both through-going fracture surfaces, non-through-going fractures, in experimentally deformed samples provide a deeper understanding of NHF processes and resulting geometric features in porous siliciclastic sedimentary rocks. Observations indicate that both fracture planarity and microcrack damage (which has not previously been reported for opening mode fractures) vary significantly depending on the degree of mechanical heterogeneity and anisotropy of the host rock. Variations reflect mechanical controls on fracture initiation and propagation, suggesting that fracture spacing may in part reflect the distribution of mechanical heterogeneities. These data indicate that the more homogeneous the rock, the greater the microcrack damage surrounding a given NHF, increasing expected fracture-associated permeability for a given fracture aperture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the mechanics and physics of fractures at various scales. Based on advanced continuum mechanics of heterogeneous media, it develops a rigorous mathematical framework for single macrocrack problems as well as for the effective properties of microcracked materials. In both cases, two geometrical models of cracks are examined and discussed: the idealized representation of the crack as two parallel faces (the Griffith crack model), and the representation of a crack as a flat elliptic or ellipsoidal cavity (the Eshelby inhomogeneity problem). The book is composed of two parts: The first part deals with solutions to 2D and 3D problems involving a single crack in linear elasticity. Elementary solutions of cracks problems in the different modes are fully worked. Various mathematical techniques are presented, including Neuber-Papkovitch displacement potentials, complex analysis with conformal mapping and Eshelby-based solutions. The second part is devoted to continuum micromechanics approaches of microcracked materials in relation to methods and results presented in the first part. Various estimates and bounds of the effective elastic properties are presented. They are considered for the formulation and application of continuum micromechanics-based damage models.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of ceramic materials has been recently shown to exhibit nonlinear stress strain behavior. These materials include transformation-toughened zirconia which undergoes a stress-induced crystallographic transformation in the vicinity of a propagating crack, microcracking ceramics, and ceramic-fiber reinforced ceramic matrices. Since many of these materials are under consideration for structural applications, understanding fracture in these quasi-brittle materials is essential. Portland cement concrete is a relatively brittle material. As a result mechanical behavior of concrete, conventionally reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and fiber reinforced concrete is critically influenced by crack propagation. Crack propagation in concrete is characterized by a fracture process zone, microcracking, and aggregate bridging. Such phenomena give concrete toughening mechanisms, and as a result, the macroscopic response of concrete can be characterized as that of a quasi-brittle material. To design super high performance cement composites, it is essential to understand the complex fracture processes in concrete. A wide range of concern in design involves fracture in rock masses and rock structures. For example, prediction of the extension or initiation of fracture is important in: 1) the design of caverns (such as underground nuclear waste isolation) subjected to earthquake shaking or explosions, 2) the production of geothermal and petroleum energy, and 3) predicting and monitoring earthquakes. Depending upon the grain size and mineralogical composition, rock may also exhibit characteristics of quasi-brittle materials.

Download or read book Acoustic Emission Testing written by Christian U. Grosse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-12 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques have been studied in civil engineering for a long time. The techniques are recently going to be more and more applied to practical applications and to be standardized in the codes. This is because the increase of aging structures and disastrous damages due to recent earthquakes urgently demand for maintenance and retrofit of civil structures in service for example. It results in the need for the development of advanced and effective inspection techniques. Thus, AE techniques draw a great attention to diagnostic applications and in material testing. The book covers all levels from the description of AE basics for AE beginners (level of a student) to sophisticated AE algorithms and applications to real large-scale structures as well as the observation of the cracking process in laboratory specimen to study fracture processes.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, controlled laboratory experiments of rock fracture & friction, and monitoring and analyses of accompanying acoustic emissions (AE), and application of fractals to investigate the failure zone development and its growth in rock under simulated field conditions have become possible. This development has contributed more to the fracture mechanics research of rock as well as for better planning and execution of field experiments aimed at structural health monitoring, and forewarning and control of rock bursts in deep mines etc. Furthermore, the utilization of simpler and PC-based AE monitoring systems can yield fruitful results to detect, track, analyze and quantify the various stages of microcrack damage in rock as detailed in this monograph. Among various parameters, the occurrence rate of AE events and energy, b-values, cumulative energy counts and energy per event have been found to be more helpful to make a detailed study and quantify the stress-induced microcrack damage in rock. This monograph will be useful for active researchers, academicians, NDT professionals and graduate students of geological sciences and related engineering fields.
