Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering and numerical simulation, and in particular relates to a calibration method for finite-discrete element input parameters of water-bearing rock. Background Art
[0002] Water-rock interaction has long been a hot topic in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Water absorption by rocks causes numerous natural and engineering disasters, including rainfall-induced landslides, rainfall-induced rock slope instability, landslides induced by reservoir water level fluctuations, sudden water inrush in tunnels, and large deformation and damage caused by water absorption in soft rock tunnels. Therefore, research on the mechanisms of water-rock interaction is urgently needed.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies for studying water-rock interactions are primarily divided into two categories: laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. Laboratory experiments encompass testing the mechanical properties of water-bearing rocks, such as Brazilian splitting, uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, and triaxial compression, as well as microstructural observations. These experiments utilize methods such as scanning electron microscopy, environmental scanning microscopy, X-ray diffraction, computed tomography, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and mercury intrusion porosimetry. These experiments aim to reveal the evolution of mechanical properties and micro- and macrostructural changes in rocks before and after water absorption, thereby exploring the mechanisms by which water causes rock degradation. However, laboratory experiments suffer from limitations such as high cost, long lead times, and low reproducibility of results, limiting their widespread application.
[0004] In numerical simulation, continuum-based finite element methods, finite difference methods, extended finite element methods, and real-world fracture process analysis methods, as well as discontinuum-based discrete element methods, block discrete element methods, particle discrete element methods, and discontinuous deformation methods, have been used to study rock mechanics. However, continuum methods require the introduction of cohesive elements when simulating rock cracking, making it difficult to accurately capture crack initiation and imposing significant constraints. Discontinuum methods, on the other hand, face challenges such as complex parameter calibration, difficulty in aligning macroscopic and microscopic parameters, and non-intuitive crack morphology, resulting in significant deficiencies in rock cracking simulation and parameter calibration.
[0005] The finite-discrete element method (FDEM) can model and analyze the deformation and failure of water-bearing rocks and is a powerful tool for studying the mechanisms of water-rock interaction. Parameter calibration is an essential step before conducting numerical simulations. However, there is currently no reasonable method for calibrating the input parameters involved in simulating the mechanical properties of water-bearing rocks using the FDEM.
[0006] In view of the above problems in the existing technology, it is urgent to propose a calibration method for the finite-discrete element input parameters of water-bearing rocks. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a calibration method for the finite-discrete element input parameters of water-bearing rock.

The cohesion, internal friction angle, triaxial compressive strength of dry rocks and rocks with different water contents, as well as triaxial compression stress-strain curves under different confining pressures were obtained. The evolution equations of cohesion and internal friction angle with water content were obtained by fitting the experimental data.
[0021] Optionally, the process of calibrating the fracture energy in the finite-discrete element method includes:
[0022] A specimen model with the same size as that used in the mechanical test was established, and the penalty parameter was taken as 100 times the elastic modulus. The mechanical parameters input into the finite-discrete element method were all based on experimental data. Normal loading was performed on the upper and lower ends of the specimen model at a loading rate consistent with the test. The trial-and-error method was used to continuously adjust the first fracture energy and the second fracture energy so that the simulation results of the uniaxial compressive strength, triaxial compressive strength and stress-strain curve were close to the experimental results. When the relative error between the simulation results and the test results was less than the preset threshold, the calibration was successful, and the first fracture energy and the second fracture energy at this time were the calibration results.

[0045] Example 1
[0046] This embodiment provides a method for calibrating input parameters of a finite-discrete element method for water-bearing rock, comprising the following steps:
[0047] The rock samples were dried and treated with water to obtain dry rock samples and rock samples with different water contents;
[0048] Uniaxial tensile tests, uniaxial compression tests, and triaxial compression tests were carried out on dry rock samples and rock samples with different moisture contents. The corresponding evolution equations of tensile strength with moisture content, elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength with moisture content, and cohesion and internal friction angle with moisture content were obtained.
[0049] Laterally restrained water absorption swelling tests were carried out on dry rocks to obtain vertical expansion evolution curves;
[0050] Based on the evolution equations of tensile strength with moisture content, elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength with moisture content, cohesion and internal friction angle with moisture content, and vertical expansion evolution curve, the input parameters in the finite-discrete element method, including fracture energy, moisture expansion coefficient, and moisture diffusion coefficient, are calibrated;
[0051] Based on the calibrated input parameters, finite-discrete element uniaxial and triaxial compression numerical simulations of rock samples with different water contents were carried out to obtain simulation results;
[0052] When the error between the test result and the simulation result is within the preset threshold, the final parameter calibration result is obtained.
[0053] As a specific implementation method, the following steps are included:
[0054] Step 1: Process the rocks obtained from the drilling into standard size cylindrical rock samples for indoor rock mechanics testing. The dry rock samples are treated with water absorption to obtain rock samples with different moisture contents. Uniaxial tensile tests are carried out on dry and water-containing rocks to obtain the uniaxial tensile strength (ft) of dry and water-containing rocks. d and ft w ) and tensile stress-strain curves, and fitting the test data to obtain the evolution equation of tensile strength with moisture content;
[0055] ft w (w)=ae bw +c,
[0056] Where w represents the moisture content of the sample, ft w (w) represents the tensile strength when the moisture content is w, and a, b, and c are the constant coefficients of the fitting equation.
[0057] Furthermore, the standard size rock sample used for the indoor rock mechanics test in step 1 has a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm.
[0058] Step 2: Conduct uniaxial compression tests on dry and water-containing rocks to obtain the elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength (E d 、UCS d and E w 、UCS w ) and uniaxial compression stress-strain curves, and fitting the test data to obtain the evolution equations of elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength with moisture content;
[0059] E w (w)=de fw +g,
[0060] UCS w (w)=he iw +j,
[0061] Among them, E w (w) and UCS w (w) are the elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength when the moisture content is w, d, f, g, h, i, and j are the constant coefficients of the fitting equation.
[0062] Step 3: Carry out triaxial compression tests on dry and water-containing rocks under different confining pressures to obtain the cohesion, internal friction angle, triaxial compressive strength (c d 、φ d 、TCS d and c w 、φ w 、TCS w ) and triaxial compression stress-strain curves under different confining pressures, and fitting the test data to obtain the evolution equations of cohesion and internal friction angle with water content;
[0063] c w (w)=ke lw +m,
[0064]
[0065] Among them, c w (w) and φ w (w) are the cohesion and internal friction angle when the moisture content is w, respectively; k, l, m, n, p, and q are the constant coefficients of the fitting equation.
[0066] Step 4: Process the rock obtained from the drilling into a standard-sized cylindrical rock sample for swelling test. Conduct a lateral restrained water absorption swelling test on the dry rock to obtain the vertical expansion evolution curve of the rock sample.
[0067] Step 5: Based on the data obtained from the indoor tests in steps 1 to 3, as the input of mechanical parameters in the finite-discrete element method, numerical tests of dry rock finite-discrete element uniaxial compression and triaxial compression under different confining pressures are carried out respectively, and the two fracture energies are calibrated (the first fracture energy Gf I and the second fracture energy Gf II ); The calibration process is to first establish a specimen model with the same dimensions as the test specimen, i.e., a cylindrical specimen with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm. The penalty parameter is set to 100 times the elastic modulus. The input mechanical parameters such as elastic modulus, tensile strength, cohesion, and internal friction angle are all based on experimental data. Then, normal loading is applied to the upper and lower ends of the specimen at a loading rate consistent with the test, and Gf is continuously adjusted using a trial-and-error method. I and Gf II, so that the simulated uniaxial compressive strength, triaxial compressive strength and stress-strain curve are close to the experimental results. Finally, when the relative error between the numerical results and the simulation results is less than 5%, the calibration is successful. At this time, Gf I and Gf II This is the result of calibration;
[0068] Step 6: Based on the rock vertical expansion evolution curve obtained in step 4, a finite-discrete element numerical test of lateral constraint water absorption and swelling of dry rock is carried out to calibrate the humidity expansion coefficient (β) and humidity diffusion coefficient (k). The calibration process is as follows: first, establish the same specimen model as that used in the test, that is, a cylindrical specimen with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 20 mm. The normal displacement of the four sides and the bottom of the specimen is fixed. The penalty parameter is taken as 100 times the elastic modulus. The input mechanical parameters such as elastic modulus, tensile strength, cohesion and internal friction angle are all based on experimental data. Then, a saturated moisture content is applied to the surface of the specimen. Due to the moisture gradient difference inside the specimen, moisture is continuously conducted downward. The "trial and error method" is used to continuously adjust β and k so that the maximum vertical expansion deformation and expansion deformation-time curve obtained by simulation are close to the experimental results. Finally, when the relative error between the numerical results and the simulation results is less than 5%, the calibration is successful, and k and m at this time are the calibration results;
[0069] Step 7: Based on the fitted equations from Step 3, consider the softening effect of water on rock mechanical parameters using the finite element method (FEM). Based on the parameters calibrated in Steps 5 and 6, conduct FEM uniaxial and triaxial compression numerical tests on rock samples with varying water contents. Compare the simulation results with the experimental results to verify the accuracy of the parameter calibration.
[0070] Furthermore, the method for absorbing water from the dry rock sample in step 1 is to first dry the rock sample, then add water to the top of the rock sample to a predetermined moisture content, let it stand for a period of time to allow the water to be evenly distributed in the sample and completely absorbed by the sample, ensuring that there is no free water in the sample, and at the same time wrap the water-containing rock sample with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent water loss and cause changes in moisture content, and finally place it in the laboratory awaiting subsequent experimental arrangements.
[0071] Furthermore, the rock samples with different moisture contents in steps 1 to 3 include 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6%.
[0072] Furthermore, the confining pressures of the triaxial compression test in step 3 include 2 MPa, 4 MPa, 6 MPa and 8 MPa.
[0073] Furthermore, the loading rate used in the rock uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression and triaxial compression indoor tests in steps 1 to 3 is 0.001 mm / s.
[0074] Furthermore, the diameter of the standard-sized cylindrical rock sample used for the lateral restraint water swelling test in step 4 is 50 mm and the height is 20 mm.
[0075] Furthermore, the lateral restraint water absorption and swelling test method in step 4 is to impose a moisture content boundary on the top of the dry rock sample. Due to the existence of the humidity gradient, water continuously diffuses from the upper surface of the rock sample to the inside, and eventually reaches the saturated moisture content;
[0076] Furthermore, the model size used in the finite-discrete element uniaxial and triaxial compression numerical simulations in step 5 is 50 mm×100 mm.
[0077] Furthermore, the loading rate used in the uniaxial and triaxial compression numerical simulations in step 5 is 0.01 m / s.
[0078] Furthermore, the premise for calibrating the fracture energy using the dry rock uniaxial and triaxial compression numerical tests in step 5 is that when the moisture content changes slightly, the influence of water on the fracture energy is negligible and can be considered as a constant.
[0079] Furthermore, the premise assumption for calibrating the fracture energy using the dry rock uniaxial and triaxial compression numerical tests in step 5 is that when the moisture content changes slightly, the influence of water on the fracture energy is negligible.
[0080] Furthermore, the model size used in the finite-discrete element lateral constraint swelling simulation in step 6 is 50 mm×100 mm.
[0081] This embodiment proposes a new finite-discrete element input parameter calibration method for water-bearing rocks. For the first time, the softening effect of water on rocks is considered in the finite-discrete element method. The evolution equations of the mechanical parameters of rocks with different water contents with water content are obtained through fitting experiments. The fitting equations are introduced into the finite-discrete element method through secondary development, so that the finite-discrete element method automatically softens the rock mechanical parameters to the corresponding water content when calculating the water absorption of rocks. Secondly, it demonstrates how to calibrate the two fracture energies of the joint unit, and also uses the lateral constraint swelling numerical experiment to calibrate the moisture expansion coefficient and conductivity coefficient of the triangular unit. The other mechanical parameters are directly taken from the parameters obtained in the experiment. In this way, the calibration of the input parameters in the finite-discrete element simulation of water-bearing rocks is completed, so that the finite-discrete element can more realistically simulate the mechanical behavior of rock water absorption.
[0082] Example 2
[0083] The method for calibrating the input parameters of the finite-discrete element of water-bearing rock described in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown:
[0084] Step 1: Process the rock obtained by drilling into a cylindrical rock sample with a diameter of 50mm and a height of 100mm. Dry the natural rock sample to obtain a dry rock sample. Then add water to the top of the dry rock sample to a predetermined moisture content (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6%). Let it stand for a period of time to allow the water to be evenly distributed in the sample and completely absorbed by the sample to ensure that there is no free water in the sample. At the same time, wrap the water-containing rock sample with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent water loss and change in moisture content. Carry out uniaxial tensile tests on dry and different moisture content rock samples with a loading rate of 0.001mm / s. Figure 2 As shown. The uniaxial tensile strength and tensile stress-strain curves of dry and water-containing rocks were obtained, and the evolution equation of uniaxial tensile strength with water content was obtained by fitting the test data.
[0085] Step 2: Uniaxial compression tests were carried out on cylindrical dry rock samples with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm and rock samples with different moisture contents (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6%) at a loading rate of 0.001 mm / s. Figure 3 As shown, the elastic modulus, uniaxial compressive strength and uniaxial compressive stress-strain curves of dry and water-containing rocks are obtained, and the evolution equations of elastic modulus and uniaxial compressive strength with water content are obtained;
[0086] Step 3: Triaxial compression tests were carried out on cylindrical dry rock samples with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm and rock samples with different moisture contents (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6%). The confining pressures were set to 2 MPa, 4 MPa, 6 MPa and 8 MPa, respectively, and the loading rate was 0.001 mm / s. Figure 4 As shown, the cohesion, internal friction angle, triaxial compressive strength and triaxial compression stress-strain curves of dry and water-containing rocks are obtained, and the evolution equations of cohesion and internal friction angle with water content are obtained;
[0087] Step 4: First, place a 50mm diameter, 20mm high disc sample into a metal ring with an inner diameter of 20mm, and place filter paper and a permeable plate on the top and bottom of the sample respectively; then place a fixed metal load block on the top and install a dial indicator. The metal load block can generate a constant pressure of 5kPa on the mudstone sample; finally, add water until it covers the permeable plate, and start recording the dial indicator reading. During the first two hours of the test, take a reading every 10 minutes, and then take a reading every 30 minutes. Carry out the dry rock lateral restraint water absorption and swelling test to obtain the vertical expansion evolution curve of the rock, such as Figure 5 As shown;
[0088] Step 5: Finite-discrete element uniaxial compression and triaxial compression numerical tests were carried out on dry rock samples with a width of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm. The confining pressures were set to 2 MPa, 4 MPa, 6 MPa, and 8 MPa, respectively, and the loading rate was 0.01 m / s. Although this loading rate is much higher than that used in the experiment, the mechanical time step in the simulation is 1×10 -8 s / step, that is, each step only loads 1×10 -10 m, this value is small enough to ensure that the system is quasi-static and the entire simulation process can be completed in a short time, such as Figure 6 As shown, two fracture energies are calibrated;
[0089] Step 6: Conduct a finite-discrete element numerical test of the lateral constraint water absorption and swelling of the dry rock sample. First, a moisture content boundary is applied to the top of the 50 mm × 20 mm dry rock sample. Due to the existence of the humidity gradient, water continuously diffuses from the upper surface of the rock sample to the inside, and eventually reaches the saturated moisture content, such as Figure 7 As shown, the humidity expansion coefficient and humidity diffusion coefficient are calibrated;
[0090] Step 7: Based on the fitting equations of rock mechanical parameters varying with water content obtained from the experiments in steps 1 to 3, the softening effect of water on rock mechanical parameters is considered in the finite-discrete element method. Finite-discrete element uniaxial and triaxial compression numerical tests are carried out on rock samples with different water contents (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6%), with the confining pressures set to 2MPa, 4MPa, 6MPa and 8MPa, respectively. Figure 8 As shown in Figure 3, the simulation results are compared with the test results to verify the correctness of the parameter calibration.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
