Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rock sample preparation, and in particular to a method for making a rock model based on 3D printing. Background Art
[0002] In the field of earth science and civil engineering, it is of great significance to study the mechanical properties of rock mass. Rock mass is usually full of defects of various scales, such as microcracks, pores, joints, layers, faults and veins, etc. These defects constitute a complex rock mass structure, making the rock mass exhibit characteristics such as inhomogeneity, discontinuity, anisotropy and deformation nonlinear elasticity. Understanding these characteristics will help to better carry out engineering design and geological disaster prevention.
[0003] In order to study the macroscopic mechanical properties of rock mass, scientists usually use theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and physical simulation test. Physical simulation test is particularly important because it can reproduce the structure and properties of the actual rock mass by using similar materials. This method is based on the principle of similarity, that is, by using rock-like materials to replicate the structure and properties of the original rock while maintaining a certain proportional relationship, it can fully and realistically simulate the mechanical behavior of the rock mass and the engineering structure and their interaction relationship.
[0004] The existing traditional physical simulation methods mainly prepare rock-like materials through a series of operation steps such as mixing, vibrating, compacting, and solidification molding by mixing different types of aggregates and binder materials. These production methods have been widely used in the preparation of various engineering model materials, such as the slope dam of hydropower stations, underground storage caverns, and underground engineering mining tunnels. However, these methods have significant defects and limitations: 1. Low degree of automation; 2. The preparation process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the procedures are cumbersome; 3. Relying on manual experience and level, the uniformity and accuracy of the prepared samples are poor; 4. The key is that the spatial variability, discontinuity, heterogeneity, and complex structural surfaces of natural rock masses and their internal natural defects cannot be reproduced. In the existing patent method, "A 3D Printing Rock-like Material Similarity Optimization Method", an efficient and optimized method for preparing rock-like materials is proposed, but it is only based on the preparation of triaxial specimens under laboratory conditions. Although the accuracy is high, the simulation scale is small, and the internal structural surface of the rock mass cannot be simulated, and it is difficult to apply to large model scales.

[0037] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with examples and drawings. The illustrative implementation scheme of the present application and its description are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
[0038] The present application provides a method for making a rock model based on 3D printing, which can be found in Figure 1 , the rock model making method based on 3D printing includes the following contents:
[0039] S1. Obtain rock mass exploration drilling data.
[0040] Among them, the rock mass exploration drilling data includes the physical and mechanical parameters and structural parameters of the rock mass. The physical and mechanical parameters include but are not limited to the rock mass tensile strength, rock mass compressive strength, rock mass elastic modulus, and rock mass porosity; the structural parameters include but are not limited to the rock mass crack size parameters, joint parameters, and schistosity parameters.
[0041] S2. Extract the physical and mechanical parameters of the rock mass and obtain the variability parameters of the physical and mechanical parameters in spatial coordinates.
[0042] Specifically, a spatial coordinate system can be established to determine the spatial coordinate system of the rock mass investigation area, and the physical and mechanical parameters of the rock mass can be associated with the spatial coordinates; for example, a semi-variogram or other spatial variability models can be used to calculate the spatial variability of the physical and mechanical parameters, and a spatial variability model can be fitted based on the physical and mechanical parameters, such as a Gaussian model, an exponential model, or a spherical model to describe the correlation of the physical and mechanical parameters at different spatial distances; for example, the horizontal fluctuation range and vertical fluctuation range of the rock mass strength parameters and elastic modulus in three-dimensional space, and the vertical correlation distance and horizontal correlation distance of the rock mass strength parameters and elastic modulus in three-dimensional space.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the structural parameters of the rock mass may be extracted and the variability parameters of the structural parameters in the spatial coordinates may be obtained so that the printed rock mass model has a higher dimensional accuracy.
[0044] S3. Establish an autocorrelation model of physical and mechanical parameters based on the variability parameters of the physical and mechanical parameters in spatial coordinates.
[0045] After the physical and mechanical parameter autocorrelation model is established, the variability parameters can be fitted into the physical and mechanical parameter autocorrelation model to further determine the correlation parameters of the physical and mechanical parameter autocorrelation model.
[0046] S4. Based on the autocorrelation model of physical and mechanical parameters, the Monte Carlo random generation method is used to construct a three-dimensional rock mass model.
[0047] In order to ensure the accuracy of the rock mass three-dimensional model, the structural parameter autocorrelation model can be considered simultaneously to obtain a more accurate rock mass three-dimensional model.
[0048] Specifically, in some optional embodiments, the following contents are included when constructing a three-dimensional rock mass model using the Monte Carlo random generation method:
[0049] S41. Construct a fluctuation function of rock mass depth based on variability parameters.
[0050] S42. Obtaining a trend function of the rock mass depth according to the fluctuation function of the rock mass depth and physical and mechanical parameters corresponding to the rock mass depth.
[0051] In actual implementation, the trend function can be determined according to the following model:
[0052] ξ9z)=ω(z)+μ(z);
[0053] Among them, ξ(z) is the physical and mechanical parameter of the rock mass, μ(z) is the trend function, ω(z) is the fluctuation function, and z is the depth of the rock mass.
[0054] S43. Obtain the coefficient of variation corresponding to each rock mass depth.
[0055] In actual implementation, we first calculate the mean μ of the volatility function ω(z) ω(z) :
[0056]
[0057] Then calculate the standard deviation σ ω(z) :
[0058]
[0059] Coefficient of variation COV ω(z) for:
[0060] COV ω(z) =σ ζω(z) / μ ω(z) .
[0061] S44. Construct a three-dimensional rock mass model based on the trend function, the coefficient of variation and the variability parameters corresponding to the rock mass depth.
[0062] S5. Obtain numerical analytical parameters and physical property parameters based on the three-dimensional rock mass model.
[0063] In actual implementation, the 3D rock model can be sliced first, and for each layer of the 3D rock model, the variability of the physical and mechanical parameters and the variability of the structural parameters can be analyzed as the specific differences in the physical and mechanical parameters and structural parameters of the rock. For discontinuous structural surfaces in the 3D rock model, the variability of the physical and mechanical parameters is considered to be 0, that is, the physical and mechanical parameters in the area are the same everywhere. In this way, multiple physical and mechanical parameters and structural parameters of each area in each layer of the 3D rock model can be obtained.
[0064] S6. Based on the numerical analytical parameters and physical property parameters, the printing materials are configured and the rock model is printed.
[0065] The 3D printer can design the material ratio according to multiple physical and mechanical parameters in each area, and print out a rock model with dimensions and physical properties equivalent to the actual rock mass based on numerical analytical parameters.
[0066] When printing the rock model, the gaps between the discontinuous structural surfaces are filled with silica gel.
[0067] Among them, a database is pre-stored in the 3D printer. The database is used to determine the basic physical and mechanical parameters corresponding to natural rocks and several current types of printing materials through indoor experiments. According to this database, combined with the physical property parameters and numerical analysis parameters obtained from the three-dimensional model of the rock mass, the material types and proportions corresponding to the rock mass in each area can be obtained.
[0068] Usually, the rock model can be made of materials such as gypsum, sand, iron sand, and micro-expansion agent. For example, in the actual implementation process, the following ratio example table is used:
[0069] Material mix quality ratio design reference example table
[0070]
[0071] Among them, the use of expansion agent can produce a certain expansion stress on the rock mass during the solidification process of the rock model, thereby simulating the internal structural stress environment of the rock mass.
[0072] Since the printed rock model should be in a high stress environment, it is necessary to apply external loads and preserve the stress environment due to the model scale and stress conditions. After the rock model is solidified, it is placed in a side limit loading box, in which a loading steel plate, a jack and a pressure sensor are arranged. The jack is connected to the inner wall of the side limit loading box, and the loading steel plate is connected to the moving end of the jack. The rock model is placed between the loading steel plate and the inner wall of the side limit loading box. The jack drives the loading steel plate to apply pressure to the rock model. The pressure sensor is arranged between the jack and the side limit plate. The jack applies the load in stages. After each level of load is applied, it is left to stand for a period of time and the changes of the pressure sensor during the load application process are monitored until the pressure stabilizes. Then the next level of load is applied, and the pressure changes are repeatedly monitored until the last level of load is applied and the load level is maintained for the next test.
[0073] When the stress of the printed variable rock mass is saturated, a drilling machine is used to drill vertically downward from the borehole mouth for drilling sampling to obtain core samples of the parameter variable rock mass. The drilling data is monitored in real time, and sampling is performed at different positions to obtain drilling data under different variability parameters and spaces.
[0074] According to the above process, multiple combinations of variability parameterized rock masses can be repeatedly drilled to obtain drilling data under different variability parameters, providing corresponding references for engineering survey and design.
[0075] In addition to the above-mentioned stress loading methods, the stress and size can also be scaled by the gravity acceleration of the geotechnical centrifuge to reproduce the real stress environment of the variable rock mass in actual geological engineering.
