Abstract

To investigate the energy evolution and storage characteristics of the rock during the mixed-mode fracture failure, several single loading-unloading tests under preset different unloading levels were conducted on the cracked straight-through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) red-sandstone specimen with crack inclination angles of 10° and 20°. The input energy, elastic energy, and dissipated energy parameters were obtained by calculating the area integral of the load-displacement curve. Test results display that the total input energy, elastic energy, and dissipated energy of rock specimens increase in quadratic function with the increase of unloading level at different unloading levels. It was found that there are significant linear energy storage and dissipation laws of rock during the mixed-mode fracture process. The concepts of fracture energy storage coefficient (FESC) and fracture energy dissipation coefficient (FEDC) were proposed to express the energy variation of rock in the prepeak stage. Under the same loading conditions, FESC and FEDC remain unchanged regardless of crack inclination angles, indicating that the linear energy storage and dissipation laws are an inherent property of the rock. Besides, the peak fracture elastic-dissipation index (the ratio of peak elastic energy to peak dissipation energy) was obtained through quantitative analysis and demonstrated its invariant feature.

1. Introduction

In deep underground engineering, the surrounding rock often induces fracture failure [1–4], and the mixed-mode fracture failure mode is often dominant due to the influence of its various flaw defects [5–8]. In recent decades, many research scholars have developed and reported different loading devices and various specimens which are precracked to investigate the mechanism of rock mixed-mode fracture. Some well-known test methods are cracked straight through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) under diametral compression [9, 10], compact-tension-shear [11, 12], three-point bending [13, 14], four-point bending [15, 16], and angled internal cracked plate [17, 18]. Among these test methods, the CSTBD specimen can carry out multiple forms of mixed-mode fracture tests by rotating the orientation of the central crack (i.e., crack inclination angle ) relative to the loading direction and altering the crack length, which has been widely considered as the preferred test specimen for mixed-mode fracture on rocks. For example, Ayatollahi and Aliha [10] conducted mixed-mode fracture tests using CSTBD specimens, and the experimental results conform to the generalized maximum tensile stress criterion. By the advantages of CSTBD, many scholars have made some significant achievements in the study of rock mixed-mode fracture. Therefore, CSTBD specimens are also used for the mixed-mode fracture test in this study.

So far, studying the rock mass failure mechanisms from the energy perspective has received more and more attention from engineering and theoretical circles [19]. For example, Gong et al. [20] proposed the linear energy storage law for the first time by conducting a single loading-unloading test on 14 kinds of rocks under uniaxial compression and established the rockburst proneness criterion of the residual elastic energy index, which greatly promoted the understanding of energy evolution in the rock failure process. Zhang [21] conducted a conventional impact test on the Brazilian disk of red sandstone and found that the kinetic energy released during rock fracture is very significant and increases with the increase of loading rate. Wang et al. [22] explored the characteristics of energy evolution during rock failure at different bedding angles under uniaxial compression. Moreover, Zhang and Ouchterlony [23] systematically summarized the energy requirement for rock failure from laboratory tests and field operations based on the review of a wide range of literature. Yang et al. [24] conducted a series of uniaxial compression tests on the Silurian Longmaxi shale specimens and, combined with Griffith’s theory of crack propagation, established a theoretical framework for energy conversion and distribution during hard rock failure. Meng et al. [25] studied the energy accumulation, evolution, and dissipation characteristics of 30 sandstone specimens during uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading compression at six different loading rates and found that the energy parameters of rock specimens increase nonlinearly with increasing axial loading stress. Chen et al. [26] used the modified true triaxial rockburst test system to conduct rockburst tests on rectangular prismatic coarse-grained granite under different loading rates and found that with the loading rate increasing from 0.5 to 4.0 MPa/s, the fragmentation and energy dissipation of fragments decreased linearly. Bagde and Petoroš [27] conducted uniaxial cyclic compression tests on rocks with different frequencies and amplitudes and found that the dynamic energy sustained by the rock showed an increasing trend with frequency and amplitude. Gong et al. [28] used red sandstone three-point bending specimens to study the energy evolution characteristics during the mode I fracture process and found that the elastic energy and input energy, dissipated energy, and input energy have a strong linear relationship during the fracture failure process. Luo and Gong [29] used the three-point loading technique to carry out a series of single-cycle loading and unloading flexural fracture tests on rectangular rock beams and found that under different experimental unloading levels, the elastic and dissipation energies increase linearly as the input energy increases. It is well-known that rocks often have mixed-mode fracture failure characteristics, and the study of the energy evolution characteristics in the process of mixed-mode fracture failure is also of great significance to understand the rock failure mechanism.

The mixed-mode fracture test can be achieved by rotating the inclination of the crack in the CSTBD specimen to the loading direction [10]. Thus, the CSTBD specimens with crack inclination angles of 10° and 20° under diametral compression were used to study the energy evolution during mixed-mode fracture. It is divided into the sustained loading mixed-mode fracture test (SLMF) and the single loading-unloading mixed-mode fracture test (SLUMF), wherein the initial peak fracture load of the SLMF tests provides a reference for the design of the unloading level in SLUMF tests. Based on the load-displacement curve obtained from SLUMF tests, the energy parameters including input energy, elastic energy, and dissipated energy were visualized by the area integral method. Test results reveal that there is an obvious strong linear relationship between elastic energy, dissipated energy, and input energy. Simultaneously, the constant characteristics of the peak fracture elastic-dissipation index were obtained through quantitative analysis. From the point of view of energy, the evolution characteristics of energy storage and energy dissipation in the process of rock mixed-mode fracture were analyzed and discussed in detail.

2. Test Preparation

2.1. Rock Material Characteristics

The red sandstone specimens were selected for this test due to their good homogeneity. Figure 1 shows the internal microstructure and corresponding mineral composition of red sandstone. The description of its mineral composition was detailed in reference [30]. Before the tests, the red sandstone was subjected to uniaxial compression, Brazilian splitting, and other tests to obtain the following basic physical and mechanical parameters: average uniaxial compressive strength MPa, average indirect tensile strength MPa, average density kg/m³, and average P-wave km/s. In addition, Gong et al. [20] judged that the red sandstone has a moderate rockburst proneness based on the residual elastic energy index.

For the rock specimen preparation of the mixed-mode fracture test, the red sandstone was processed into the standard CSTBD specimens. The CSTBD specimen with a diameter mm and thickness mm, and the crack with length mm and width mm (as shown in Figure 2). The mixed-mode fracture test can be achieved by rotating the inclination of the crack in the CSTBD specimen to the loading direction, i.e., angle . The MTS Insight-23 electromechanical testing system was used to obtain the load-displacement deformation curve of the specimens (Figure 2). During the test, the CSTBD specimens were placed in the test equipment by rotating it around the centerline by ° or °, respectively.

2.2. Experiment Procedure

For each specimen group (° and °), including the SLMF tests and SLUMF tests, the SLMF test refers to loading the specimen at a constant loading rate (2 kN/min) until failure occurs, to obtain the initial peak fracture load values () of the specimens CSTBD-10° and CSTBD-20°, as shown in Figure 3(a). The SLUMF test means that the testing machine was first loaded to a preset load, and then, the unloading operation was performed; after the unloading is completed, the second loading is performed until the rock failure. Based on the initial peak load, five single loading-unloading tests with different unloading levels were set up, where the unloading levels () were approximately 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 of the initial peak fracture loads, respectively, as shown in Figure 3(b). Observe that in the SLUMF test, the unloading curve was not unloaded to 0 kN but 0.02 , which was to prevent separation between the specimen and the equipment. This does not affect the test results, which has been confirmed by our previous research [20].

3. Load-Displacement Responses

3.1. SLMF Test

Figure 4 illustrates the load-displacement curves of ° and ° under the SLMF test. For the ° group, the mixed-mode fracture load values are 4.86, 5.06, and 4.70 kN, respectively; the initial peak fracture load values are 4.87 kN; and the peak fracture displacements are 0.28, 0.26, and 0.22 mm, respectively (as shown Table 1). For the specimen ° group, the mixed-mode fracture load values are 4.76, 4.95, and 4.93 kN, respectively, and the initial peak fracture load values are 4.88 kN, and the peak fracture displacements are 0.17, 0.17, and 0.22 mm, respectively (as shown Table 1). Additionally, the load-displacement curves under the SLMF condition show the nonlinear rise first and then approximately linear rise characteristics. Taking the initial peak fracture load values as a reference, set the unloading point levels as 0.1 , 0.3 , 0.5 , 0.7 , and 0.9 . For the ° group, the corresponding load values at the unloading point are 0.487, 1.461, 2.435, 3.409, and 4.383 kN, respectively. For the ° group, the corresponding load values at the unloading point are 0.488, 1.464, 2.440, 3.416, and 4.392 kN, respectively, as shown in Table 2.

3.2. SLUMF Tests

Following the above test plans, the SLUMF tests with °and ° were performed on the CSTBD specimens. The typical load-displacement curves of the SLUMF test of the CSTBD specimens are shown in Figure 5. On the whole, the single loading-unloading curve rises nonlinearly before the unloading point, which may be caused by the internal crack compression and propagation of CSTBD specimens; after the unloading point, it rises approximately linearly until the peak fracture load. Moreover, the overall characteristics of the single loading-unloading curves are basically the same as those of the curves under the SLMF conditions (Figure 4). Additionally, the unloading curve and the secondary loading curve at different unloading levels are approximately the same as the initial loading curve. When the secondary loading curve reaches the unloading point, the specimen still can withstand external loads until the failure occurs at the peak load. Furthermore, the load on the initial loading curve is significantly higher than that on the secondary loading curve, and a certain area is formed between the two curves. Therefore, it can be inferred that under the SLUMF condition, there is energy dissipation during the specimen fractured.

4. Energetic Interpretations of Experimental Results and Discussion

4.1. Energy Calculation Principle

Generally, the indicators used to describe the characteristics of energy evolution during rock failure include input energy, internal elastic energy, and dissipated energy [31, 32]. Obtaining the load-displacement curve in the SLUMF tests and performing area integration on it can effectively and accurately obtain the energy evolution parameters during the rock failure process, which has been confirmed by Gong et al. [20]. Figure 6 shows the calculation of the three energy parameters at a certain unloading level by the area integral method. For more information on the calculation and definition of energy parameters in area integration, please refer to reference [20]. Therefore, the total input energy , elastic energy , and dissipation energy of the rock material at the unloading level satisfy the following relations:

4.2. The Nonlinear Increasing Energy Tendency during Mixed-Mode Fracture Test

Based on the energy calculation method shown in Figure 6, the , , and at the different under different specimen groups are obtained and shown in Figure 7. Obviously, the energy parameters under different are different and increase with the increase of . To further analyze the variations of these energy parameters at different inclination angles with the different unloading levels, the statistical analysis of the dates is shown in Figure 8. As shown, each energy parameter increases nonlinearly with the increase of , which conforms to the quadratic fitting function. For the °, the quadratic fit coefficients () between these energy parameters and the unloading level were 0.9987, 0.9979, and 0.9942, respectively, indicating a strong nonlinear relationship. Similarly, the same treatment was performed on the °, and the was 0.9978, 0.9987, and 0.9901, respectively. The was always the largest and followed by and then regardless of the . Moreover, the gap between the and the was significantly smaller than the gap between the and the , and the difference between the two gaps increases gradually with the increases of the . Furthermore, the increase rate of is much greater than that of as the increases, which indicates that a large amount of elastic energy will be stored in the hard rock when subjected to higher unloading levels. These results were essentially the same for both and °.

4.3. The Linear Energy Storage and Dissipation Laws during Mixed-Mode Fracture Test

To further understand the relationship between the various energies of the rock during the mixed-mode fracture process, the was taken as the horizontal ordinate to investigate the relationship between and and and , as shown in Figure 9. Interestingly, the and and and of the ° and ° follow the linear function of one variable relationship. Based on this, the linear relationship between and and and is defined as linear energy storage law (LESL) and linear energy dissipation law (LEDL), respectively. Gong et al. [20] first found the LESL and LEDL in uniaxial compressed rocks. Moreover, LESL and LEDL exist not only in the rock compression test but also in the loading process of coal and concrete [33, 34]. Thus, the LESL and LEDL can be defined as where and are referred to as the energy storage coefficient and energy dissipation coefficient, respectively, and is the fitting parameter.

Furthermore, the FESC and FEDC are defined as the fracture energy storage coefficient and fracture energy dissipation coefficient, respectively, to characterize the energy conversion relationship within the rock in the prepeak stage. Based on the LESL and LEDL, the FESC and FEDC correspond to slopes and , respectively. So, the FESC and FEDC can reflect the ability of energy storage and dissipation in the rock fracture failure process. Notably, the sum of FESC and FEDC equals 1 and is not affected by . This shows that in the rock fracture process, the is converted into and in proportion. No matter how the crack inclination changes, the LESL and LEDL are always established (Figure 9), which also indicates that the LESL and LEDL are inherent properties of the rock itself. As illustrated in Figure 10, the FESC and FEDC of the ° and ° are very close, and the specific values of FESC and FEDC are 0.742 and 0.258, 0.749, and 0.251, respectively. The maximum difference between the two FESC is 0.007, the difference between FEDC is 0.007, and the difference is very small and can be ignored. This further shows that the crack inclination angle does not affect the energy conversion ratio. In other words, the energy conversion ratio of the input energy to the elastic energy and the dissipated energy is constant in the mixed-mode fracture test. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that the LESL, LEDL, and the corresponding energy conversion ratio are the inherent properties of rock materials in the mixed-mod fracture process.

4.4. The Invariable Feature of in Mixed-Mod Fracture Process

Generally, the energy accumulated by the rock specimen has reached its limit before reaching its critical failure point (i.e., peak load point). Thus, it is very necessary to understand the energy conversion characteristics at the peak load point. Gong et al. [20] first founded the LESL and LEDL and extended them to calculate peak input energy , peak elastic energy , and the peak dissipation energy at the peak load point, and this method has been generally recognized. So, the specific calculation process of each energy parameter at the peak load point can be found in our literature [20]. Thus, this study calculates the , , and at the peak fracture load point during the mixed-mod fracture process according to the same logical relationship, as follows:

Table 3 gives the detailed calculations of , , and . To better characterize the energy conversion relationship of rock fracture failure at the peak fracture load point, the ratio of (which can be named as peak fracture elastic-dissipation index ) was proposed to be expressed:

Figure 11 plots the trend line and the ratio of FESC/FEDC. It can be seen that theinitially fluctuates greatly at thewhich is low, and the gradually tends to converge to a constant value as the exceeds a certain value. Furthermore, the larger the , the basically converges to the constant FESC/FEDC.

It is well-known that basic physical and mechanical parameters such as rock density, longitudinal wave velocity, and elastic modulus are characterized as inherent properties of rock. Based on the above analysis, eventually tends to a constant value, which may be considered the inherent characteristics of the rock. Thus, we analyze some basic mechanical and energy parameters such as density (), wave velocity (), peak load (), peak displacement (), , , and for each specimen (as shown in Table 3) and quantify the deviation of these parameters for each specimen using the coefficient variation (CV) and compared with . The coefficient of variation is a dimensionless coefficient used to compare the degree of dispersion of multiple sets of data, and it is defined as follows [35]: where is the amount of data in the same attribute group and represents different attribute groups.

Figure 12 shows the CV values corresponding to the basic physical mechanical and energy parameters of each group of specimens. Whether the ° or °, the , , and of the specimen all show high CV values (6.95~9.94%); that is, these energy parameters show serious dispersion. Even the and of the specimen showed obvious dispersion, and the CV value also fluctuated in the range of 2.11~7.17%. Compared with other parameters occupying such a high CV value, the parameter shows an extremely small CV value and is not affected by the . The CV values of for sandstone specimen under the ° and ° are 0.02% and 0.04%, respectively. The above contrasting arguments strongly confirm that can be regarded as an inherent property of rocks. Besides, the also intuitively represents that the energy distribution of elastic energy and dissipated energy at the peak point of rock is fixed, which is the inherent property of rock. Moreover, can be used as an inherent index, which has also been confirmed in compression and three-point bending tests [29, 36].

5. Conclusions
