Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of separation layer microcrack analysis, and more specifically, to a separation layer microcrack analysis system based on a material point method. Background Art

[0002] Carbonaceous shale is a sedimentary rock rich in organic matter. Due to its high carbon content and rich reserves of shale gas and oil resources, it has received widespread attention in recent years. Carbonaceous shale has unique physical and mechanical properties. Especially during the mining process, external stress can cause microcracks inside it. As microcracks expand and converge, the integrity of the material may be seriously affected, and even delamination damage may occur. Therefore, in-depth research on delamination microcracks in carbonaceous shale is of great practical significance for the efficient mining of resources and the avoidance of engineering disasters. By accurately analyzing the evolution process of microcracks, the mechanical behavior of shale can be effectively predicted, production safety can be guaranteed, and resource recovery rate can be improved.

[0003] At present, the commonly used microcrack analysis methods are mainly based on numerical simulation techniques such as the finite element method (FEM) or the extended finite element method (XFEM). These methods help researchers predict the crack propagation path and the final failure mode of the material by modeling and analyzing the stress and strain of the material. In particular, the XFEM technology is widely used in the fracture mechanics research of various composite materials and rock structures because it can deal with crack propagation problems without relying on mesh reconstruction. However, the traditional finite element method and XFEM have certain limitations in dealing with the evolution analysis of complex microcrack networks, and it is difficult to fully capture the geometric characteristics of microcrack propagation and its impact on the overall performance of the material.

[0004] For example, the paper "Extended finite element method (XFEM) analysis of fiber reinforced composites for prediction of micro-crack propagation and delaminations in progressive damage" systematically studies the microcrack propagation and delamination problems of fiber reinforced composites based on XFEM. The study shows how to use XFEM to simulate the microcrack propagation and delamination phenomena in two-dimensional and three-dimensional composite materials, and proves the effectiveness of XFEM technology in predicting and analyzing microcracks in different materials. The research results show that XFEM can effectively capture the propagation path and delamination process of cracks, providing a powerful tool for the analysis of microcracks.

[0005] However, some existing studies still have some limitations in the detailed processing of microcrack identification and dynamic evolution. For example, in the paper "Characterization methods of delamination in a plain woven CFRPcomposite", Liu et al. proposed a method for analyzing the delamination behavior of plain carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. Although this method uses a linear elastic fracture mechanics model to conduct a detailed analysis of the delamination phenomenon and compares the experimental results with the numerical simulation results under different crack modes, showing its potential in delamination assessment, this study is insufficient in the identification and evolution trend analysis of microcracks. Specifically, the method in the literature relies too much on the analysis of macroscopic crack extension, and the consideration of important parameters such as the initial formation mechanism of microcracks, crack convergence conditions, and the complexity of the crack network is relatively limited. In addition, this study lacks a comprehensive evaluation of the evolution of cracks under dynamic stress conditions and their impact on the overall performance of the material, especially in the extraction of key indicators for crack evolution to determine delamination, there is still much room for improvement.

By calculating the stress intensity factor and geometric characteristics of the microcrack tip, the direction and length of crack expansion are determined, and whether adjacent microcracks meet the convergence conditions is analyzed.

[0097] The crack evolution analysis module in the embodiment of the present invention uses the following steps to analyze the expansion, convergence and penetration process of micro cracks:

The influence of the geometric characteristics and evolution trend of microcracks on delamination is evaluated, and the changes in the mechanical properties of carbonaceous shale samples during the damage accumulation process are considered to obtain the delamination index evaluation value and the dynamic critical delamination index evaluation value.

[0119]

[0120] Where P is the probability of separation, DI is the evaluation value of separation index, and DI cis the dynamic critical delamination index evaluation value, G is the penetration degree, which is defined as the ratio of the longest penetration path to the sample length, obtained from the crack evolution analysis module; δ is the penetration influence coefficient.

[0121] The delamination determination module in the embodiment of the present invention determines whether delamination has occurred in the carbonaceous shale sample by comparing the calculated delamination probability with a preset threshold. When the delamination probability is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that delamination has occurred in the sample; when the delamination probability is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that no delamination has occurred in the sample.
