Specific implementation mode

[0023] The test device for the high-temperature mode III fracture toughness of rocks according to the present invention includes a cuboid specimen with a circumferential crack, a torsion fixture clamped at both ends of the cuboid specimen, a high-temperature furnace sleeved outside the circumferential crack of the cuboid specimen, and two synchronous rotating wheels sleeved on the cuboid specimen. The two synchronous rotating wheels are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the high-temperature furnace. An angle sensor is synchronously rotated on the synchronous rotating wheel. The torsion fixture is driven by a torsion testing machine, and both the angle sensor and the torsion testing machine are connected to a computer through wires.

[0024] A pad is clamped between the torsion fixture and the cuboid specimen, and the torsion fixture and the cuboid specimen are fixed by bolts.

[0025] The high-temperature furnace includes a base and a furnace body arranged on the base. The outer circle of the furnace body is square and the inner is round. The square hole in the center of the furnace body matches the size of the cuboid specimen, and an asbestos heat insulation layer is laid on the outer shell of the furnace body.

[0026] The synchronous rotating wheel and the angle sensor are driven by static friction, and the synchronous rotating wheel is fixed on the cuboid specimen by 4 fastening bolts.

[0027] The test method for the high-temperature mode III fracture toughness of rocks according to the present invention includes the following steps:

[0028] Step 1. Obtain data through the test device: Pass the cuboid specimen through the square hole of the high-temperature furnace, heat the circumferential crack of the cuboid specimen by the high-temperature furnace, the synchronous rotating wheel rotates synchronously with the cuboid specimen, adjust the two torsion fixtures to be torsionally coaxial through the torsion testing machine, the angle sensor rotates synchronously with the synchronous rotating wheel through static friction, and obtain the relative torsion angle through conversion, and transmit it to the computer through the data cable. After the high-temperature furnace reaches the specified temperature, keep it warm, apply torque at both ends of the fixture until the specimen is damaged, and record the torque-angle curve of the experimental process.

[0029] S2. Calculate the mode III fracture toughness through the maximum torque: Use the displacement method of the finite element method to deduce the calculation formula for the high-temperature mode III fracture toughness as:

[0030]

[0031] In the formula: T - the total torque on the original crack surface, a - the crack depth; F - the shape factor.

[0032] The derivation process of the high-temperature type III fracture toughness calculation formula is as follows: A rectangular coordinate system and a polar coordinate system as shown in Figure 5 are established at the crack tip. Select several nodes i(r,θ) on the original crack surface, and calculate the anti-plane shear displacement w of each node in the Z direction under the action of a unit load i . According to the fracture mechanics theory, the displacement component w of any point i(r,θ) near the crack tip in the Z direction i is:

[0033]

[0034] Where: —The type III stress intensity factor at node i;

[0035] G—Shear elastic modulus,

[0036] Take several nodes i with θ = ±180° on the original crack surface, and substitute the w i value obtained from the finite element calculation into equation (1) to get:

[0037]

[0038] Then the relative displacement W of node i in the Z direction i is:

[0039]

[0040] Substitute equation (3) into equation (1) to obtain:

[0041]

[0042] From equation (4), the relationship between the stress intensity factor near the crack tip of specimens with different crack lengths and the node position r can be obtained, as shown in Figure 2 . Fit the relationship between the obtained and r by linear regression using the least squares method. The intercept of the straight line (r = 0) is the stress intensity factor K III at the crack tip.

[0043] According to the fracture mechanics theory, K III generally has the following form:

[0044]

[0045] Where: T—The total torque on the original crack surface

[0046] a—Crack depth;

[0047] F—Shape factor.

[0048] It can be obtained from Equation (5):

[0049]

[0050] Substitute the finite element calculation results into Equation (6), and the calculation results of the shape factor F of specimens with different crack lengths (2a / W) can be obtained. Figure 3 That is the relationship between the shape factor F and 2a / h. By performing curve fitting on it using the least squares method, the relationship formula between F and 2a / h can be obtained as follows:

[0051]

[0052] The calculation formula for the mode III fracture toughness is:

[0053]

[0054] The above description is only proposed as a technical solution that can be implemented in the present invention, and does not serve as a single limiting condition for the technical solution itself.
