Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of testing the mechanical properties of rocks, and particularly relates to a low-temperature rock mass variable-frequency variable-amplitude dynamic shear acoustic physical test system and a test method. Background Art

[0002] Open-pit mine engineering slopes are often subjected to the disturbance of excavation and frequent blasting stress waves. When the bench slope is far from the blasting source, the blasting stress waves evolve into seismic waves, which promotes the deterioration of the mechanical properties of rock masses. Therefore, the deterioration of the rock mass structure of mine slopes is a typical dynamic problem. According to incomplete statistics, more than 60% of the total number of landslides in open-pit mines are caused by the penetration of rock bridges. Typical open-pit landslides include the landslide in Zhujiabao Iron Mine of Pangang, the east slope landslide in Bayan Obo Iron Mine of Inner Mongolia, the landslide in Grasberg Open-pit Mine in Indonesia, and the landslide in Bingham Canyon Open-pit Copper Mine in the United States, etc. The continuous occurrence of landslides in the bedding rock slopes of open-pit mines not only seriously threatens the normal operation of mining enterprises, but also poses a great threat to the lives and safety of employees. Compared with the plain mines in low-altitude areas, in addition to dynamic disturbances such as excavation and far-field blasting, the frequent freeze-thaw action is another factor that cannot be ignored in causing the deterioration of the rock bridge structure of slopes in cold regions. The frost heaving force generated during the water-ice phase change process and the moisture migration accelerate the deterioration and variation of rock bridges. China is rich in mineral resources in cold regions. In high-altitude and cold regions, in the face of the harsh natural environment, the understanding of the disaster-causing mechanism of slope environmental geological disasters is not deep enough, and effective prevention and control measures have not been provided. Therefore, the freeze-thaw deterioration of the rock mass structure has triggered a large number of catastrophic events.

[0003] Literature research shows that a large number of domestic and foreign scholars have systematically studied the fracture and penetration of key rock bridges with locking sections by means of in-situ tests, laboratory tests, numerical calculations, etc. The scale of rock bridges in the rock considered in the model develops from one to multiple and multiple groups. The model tests consider the influence of joint roughness, spatial distribution, arrangement form, rock bridge width and normal stress, and focus on discussing the mechanical properties, failure mechanism, strength and penetration mode of rock bridges in fractured rock masses. Almost all the studies are under the static loading environment at normal temperature, without considering the influence of freeze-thaw. However, due to the frequent disturbance of engineering rock masses by environmental factors, excavation unloading, blasting vibration and seismic waves, the dynamic characteristics of rock bridge fracture are different from the previous static loading fracture, which is a typical dynamic (medium strain rate) problem. At present, there are many studies on the dynamic loading mechanical tests of rock joints under complex stress disturbances. There are sporadic reports on the mechanical tests of rock bridges under normal temperature and normal direction unloading conditions. However, there are few studies on the shear fracture mechanism of freeze-thaw rock bridges, and the coupling mechanism between rock bridges and joints caused by volume expansion during the rock bridge fracture process is not studied deeply enough.

[0004] When a porous medium such as rock is in a low temperature environment, the water in the pores and cracks inside the rock undergoes a phase change and freezes, resulting in the physical and mechanical properties of the rock not only being related to its own physical structure, but also being affected by the water, temperature, and stress state inside it. When the rock is subjected to low temperature, it will produce very high tensile stress through contraction. Joints and cracks, as initial defects in the rock, will further expand due to the uneven contraction between particles. The temperature stress in the rock will also lead to the generation of tensile stress. The pore or crack water in the rock undergoes a phase change at low temperature, changing from liquid water to Solid ice, the expansion of volume produces frost heave effect, which aggravates the development of cracks, and then causes the cracks to expand and break, and the physical and mechanical properties to drop sharply; in engineering construction, rock excavation causes rock stress redistribution, accompanied by deformation and destruction of the rock mass, and its mechanical properties also change. The shear failure has the greatest impact on engineering safety, and the rock mass is often subjected to dynamic disturbances of different frequencies and amplitudes caused by mechanical excavation, blasting or seismic loads. Therefore, exploring the damage and fracture mechanism of low-temperature rock mass under dynamic shear disturbances of variable frequency and amplitude is of great significance to ensure the safe construction of cold region projects;

[0005] At present, acoustic physical testing technologies including ultrasonic imaging and acoustic emission positioning provide means to realize the characteristics of internal structural changes of rock mass during dynamic shear fracture. Rock ultrasonic imaging is a method of obtaining data from the inside of the rock mass through ultrasonic testing and reconstructing the internal image of the rock mass with this data, and interpreting the internal situation based on the difference in sound velocity values ​​on this image; the acoustic emission signal inverts the characteristics of the internal structural changes of the rock mass through multiple parameters such as acoustic emission counts, signal energy, acoustic emission amplitude, and waveform characteristics, and locates the initiation of rock cracks. Through theoretical research and related mathematical analysis methods, it can describe rich information such as acoustic emission parameters and waveforms, and derive the essence of rock fracture;

[0006] At present, most of the existing rock dynamic shear equipment are static or quasi-static experimental equipment for direct shearing. A few rock dynamic shear equipment are impact shearing, which cannot realize the loading of variable frequency and variable amplitude cyclic loads. Moreover, most of the equipment does not take into account the influence of low temperature on the shear failure characteristics of rock and use acoustic physics means to realize acoustic physics imaging in the process of rock shear fracture. It cannot simulate the dynamic shear characteristics of jointed rocks under various working conditions in actual testing projects and reveal the internal crack propagation mechanism in the process of rock damage and fracture. Therefore, it is very important to develop a low-temperature rock variable frequency and variable amplitude dynamic shear acoustic physics testing machine. Summary of the invention

[0060] S3. Start the temperature control acquisition box 24, set a certain low temperature in the environmental chamber and then start the refrigeration cycle; realize the real-time freeze-thaw, freezing and melting treatment of the rock. The temperature inside the environmental chamber and the number of freeze-thaw cycles can be automatically controlled;

[0061] S4. Start the dynamic shear testing machine and the loading oil source controller 26, and test the disturbing force signal;

[0066] The above-mentioned low-temperature rock mass variable-frequency variable-amplitude dynamic shear acoustic physics test system of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0067] 1. The test system described in the present invention can not only meet the requirements of most test scales, but also realize variable-frequency variable-amplitude loading through the dynamic shear system, low-temperature control system, acoustic physics test system, measurement and control system. It can consider the influence of low temperature on the shear failure characteristics of rock mass and use acoustic physics means to realize the acoustic physics imaging during the shear fracture process of rock mass. It can simulate and test the dynamic shear characteristics of jointed rocks under various working conditions in engineering practice and reveal the internal crack propagation mechanism during the damage and fracture process of rock mass, enriching the test data and improving the test quality;

[0068] 2. The test system described in the present invention uses the ultrasonic imaging technology and acoustic emission location imaging technology in the acoustic physics test system to locate the initiation of internal cracks in the rock mass specimen during the loading process, and can reveal the characteristics of the internal structure change of the rock mass during the dynamic shear fracture process;

[0069] 3. According to the above specific implementation manners, the testing machine of the test system described in the present invention uses strain gauges and strain gauges to measure the deformation of the specimen under dynamic disturbance. The methods of measuring deformation by strain gauges are all the averages of the deformations at points or on the surfaces of the rock samples, and the measurement results are closely related to the strain measurement positions. The volumetric strain calculated in turn is also local. At the same time, under the action of dynamic shear, the deformation of the specimen is large and the accuracy will be poor. Our invention uses a grating displacement sensor to measure the deformation of the rock mass specimen during the dynamic shear process, solves the problem of high-resolution dynamic measurement of the deformation of the rock sample during the dynamic load process, and at the same time, the grating displacement sensor has the advantages of a large range and high accuracy, can realize dynamic measurement, and is easy to realize the automation of measurement and data processing.
