Transfer mechanism and criteria for static–dynamic failure of granite under true triaxial unloading test

Abstract

In the construction procedure of infrastructure, the excavation disturbance significantly changes the initial stress state of rocks in deep geotechnical engineering, and a rock burst would occur accompanied by the ejection of rock block. In the present study, a true triaxial unloading test and its corresponding numerical analysis based on the three-dimensional particle flow code (PFC3D) are conducted on granite specimens to acquire characteristic information of static and dynamic failure during unloading and to explore the criteria for determining static and dynamic failure. The results indicate that the failure modes of granite under true triaxial unloading can be classified into three categories: ① no obvious coalesced crack, ② a main coalescence shear crack, and ③ a main coalescence shear crack with a V-shaped pit. The instantaneous kinetic energy in static failure is characterized by a sharp increase and sporadic sharp increases, while that in dynamic failure shows a sharp increase, a short quiet period, and a substantial increase. The critical stress combination for the transformation of static–dynamic failure of granite is proposed, which is consistent with the experimental results. The number of shear cracks gradually increases in static failure, while it suddenly increases in dynamic failure. During the transformation from static failure to dynamic failure, the ratio of a tensile crack number to that of shear crack number decreases. The proportion of shear cracks in particle bonding increases, while the trend of tensile failure weakens. However, tensile failure remains predominant in granite, accompanied by shear failure.

Research on Bistatic Sonar Positioning and Its Optimization Algorithm

“…Multistatic sonar not only has the advantage that active sonar does not depend on target location and known waveform, but also has the advantage of concealing sonar and increasing the working range [13,14]. Figure 1 shows how a multistatic sonar works.…”

Analyzing Self-Compacted Mortar Improved by Carbon Fiber Using Artificial Neural Networks

“…Once neurons are adequately active, their output equals 1, but if not activated enough, their output equals zero. In neural networks, numerous activation functions are employed to determine the neuron output to a specific input [15,16].…”

A New Deep Learning-Based Restoration Method for Colour Images

“…Research on colour image restoration is not only of great value for enhancing visual effect and quality of images, but also important for many practical application scenarios, for instance, in remote sensing imaging, image quality can directly affect the recognition and classification of surface features [10][11][12]; in medical imaging, image quality is closely related to the accurate diagnosis of diseases [13][14][15]; in security monitoring and automatic driving, image quality determines the accuracy of target detection and tracking [16][17][18][19]. Therefore, the research on colour image restoration is of utterly importance for the application of images in various fields.…”
