Grain-Based Discrete Element Method (GB-DEM) Modelling of Multi-scale Fracturing in Rocks Under Dynamic Loading

TL;DR: In this paper, a grain-based discrete element method (GB-DEM) is proposed to reveal microscale characterisation and mineral grain compositions of rock materials realistically, and the rate dependency of crack initiation stress threshold and crack damage stress threshold is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triaxial compression tests on a granite at different strain rates and confining pressures

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of dynamic triaxial compression tests on the Bukit Timah granite of Singapore were conducted and a total of 69 samples were tested at four strain rates (10 -4, 10 -3, 10 -1 and 10 0 s -1 ) and six confining pressures (20, 50, 80, 110, 140 and 170 MPa).
Journal ArticleDOI

Full-field measurement and fracture characterisations of rocks under dynamic loads using high-speed three-dimensional digital image correlation

TL;DR: In this article, a series of dynamic tests was conducted on Hawkesbury sandstones using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) at three different strain rates, and real-time images of the loaded specimen were captured by two high-speed cameras at a frame rate of 200,000 frames per second (fps) with a resolution of 256,×256 pixels.
Journal ArticleDOI

An equivalent viscoelastic model for rock mass with parallel joints

TL;DR: In this paper, a virtual wave source (VWS) is proposed to take into account the wave reflections between the joints, which can be effectively applied to analyze longitudinal wave propagation through discontinuous media with parallel joints.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of indentation tests to study the influence of confining stress on rock fragmentation by a TBM cutter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the influence of the confining stress on rock fragmentation under the cutter of tunnel boring machine (TBM) by indentation test, and found that the force for crack initiation and crushed zone size increased with increasing caustic stress.
