Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of geotechnical engineering, and in particular to a rock fracture prediction method and system based on a resistivity data assimilation algorithm. BACKGROUND

[0002] Deep underground engineering is in a "three high and one disturbance" environment, and the disaster incubation process is the result of the interaction of the rock mass itself and environmental quantities. Due to the increase in mining depth and complexity of mining conditions, the stability of the rock mass is poorer, and the rock mass fracture-induced engineering disasters such as landslides, subsidence, collapse, water inrush, rock burst, roof fall, rib spalling, and the like are increasingly prominent, and have become a major bottleneck restricting the mining of mineral resources. Such rock mass engineering disasters are closely related to the evolution process of the internal cracks of the rock, and are the result of the progressive damage and fracture of the rock.

[0003] In the study of the process of underground engineering activities, obtaining rock fracture information plays an important role in effectively predicting the state and evolution of underground behavior. There are two methods to obtain rock fracture information. One is through numerical simulation means, based on different assumptions, setting different boundary conditions, discretizing the medium into mesoscopic units, introducing the non-uniformity of the medium in the model, and introducing a reasonable constitutive relationship and progressive failure criterion, thereby realizing the simulation of the whole process of material progressive fracture. Numerical calculation methods of rock mechanics are mainly divided into two categories. One is based on continuum mechanics, such as the finite element method and the finite difference method. The other is based on non-continuous medium mechanics, including the discrete element method and the discrete fracture network method. The second is to obtain deep rock fracture information through observation data collected by various sensors, such as acoustic emission / microseismic data and resistivity data during rock fracture. Rock acoustic emission / microseismic monitoring technology receives the acoustic waves generated by micro-fractures in the rock medium, understands the time, location and intensity of micro-fracture occurrence and the physical properties of the rock (wave velocity, damping, etc.), and can realize non-destructive, rapid and accurate real-time positioning of the seismic source location, dynamic monitoring and evaluation of the rock; electrical monitoring technology receives the resistivity changes during rock failure to understand the rock fracture damage area and characteristics.

[0004] The existing methods have the following advantages and disadvantages: the two methods have their own advantages and have their own application scenarios, for example, the numerical simulation method can flexibly design the medium type and the unit size, and can obtain the simulation of the progressive whole process of the material, and the inversion relying on the sensor observation data can truly obtain the rock damage and fracture information in the scene. However, the above two methods have errors for the rock damage and fracture process, the numerical simulation method assumes the initial boundary condition, but the control variable is different from the actual deep geological engineering, the reliability of the model and the parameter lacks the verification of the actual physical feedback information, which often leads to inconsistency with the actual rock damage process, and the rock damage and fracture obtained by relying on the sensor observation data inversion often has errors due to the system error of the sensor itself and the non-uniqueness problem of the inversion algorithm itself, and the rock damage and fracture mechanism also lacks rigorous mechanical support, which also leads to inconsistency with the actual rock damage and fracture process.

[0085] Embodiment 2

[0086] The embodiment of the present application is based on the embodiment 1, and specific algorithms and processes of each step are given. The rock fracture process prediction method and system based on data assimilation mainly includes three parts of driving numerical model, observation data and assimilation algorithm.

[0087] 1. Driving numerical model

[0088] In the study of deep underground engineering activities, one of the main research methods is to simulate the gradual fracture process of deep rock under load by numerical model, and to study the rock damage and fracture mechanism. The fracture behavior in the rock simulation process will cause changes in the model boundary conditions and physical fields. By comparing and adjusting the boundary conditions with the measured data, the rock failure process caused by damage and fracture is truly fed back, which provides sufficient experimental basis for the rock damage and fracture mechanism, and realizes the prediction of rock failure.

[0089] The numerical calculation method of rock mechanics mainly includes two types: one is the continuous method based on the continuous medium mechanics, such as finite element method and finite difference method, and the other is the non-continuous method which simulates the non-continuous mechanical behavior of materials through discrete elements and discrete particles. The continuous / non-continuous method combines the advantages of traditional continuous medium mechanics and non-continuous medium mechanics, and can simulate the brittle material from micro crack initiation to macro fracture, which is widely used in many fields. In the establishment of numerical model, the continuous / non-continuous method mainly includes two steps: first, the geometric model is divided into finite element grid to form a solid element model, and then the joint element with no thickness is inserted between adjacent solid elements to simulate the initiation and fracture of cracks and other non-continuous deformation behaviors. Based on Newton's second law, the main motion control equation of the continuous / non-continuous method can be expressed as follows:

[0090]

[0091] wherein, and are the mass matrix and damping matrix of the finite element grid; is the node displacement vector; , , and are the internal force of the solid element, the internal force of the joint element, the contact force and the combined external force, respectively.

[0092] Based on the finite element calculation method of continuous method and the elastic-plastic constitutive theory, the internal force of the solid element can be expressed as:

[0093]

[0094] wherein is a solid, is the shape function gradient matrix of the solid element node, Cauchy stress tensor of solid element.

[0095] Unlike solid element, joint element has no thickness initially, and its internal force cannot be directly analyzed by existing constitutive theory, so the stress-displacement constitutive of fracture plastic zone theory is used to describe the mechanical behavior of joint element. The stress of joint element between two adjacent solid elements can be calculated by the following formula:

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] wherein, and are the normal force and shear force of the joint element; and are the relative normal displacement and tangential displacement between two adjacent solid elements; and are the elastic limit of and ; and are the plastic fracture limit of normal displacement and tangential displacement. and are the tensile strength and shear strength of the joint element, is the material softening coefficient. Thus, the internal force of the joint element can be expressed as:

[0099]

[0100] When the joint element fails, the solid elements connected to it form potential contact pairs. Through the contact search algorithm, these potential contact pairs can be effectively identified and contact detection can be performed. Finally, all detected contact pairs are calculated for contact force. The current contact force calculation method is mainly divided into two categories: one is the geometric-based contact force calculation, and the other is the potential-based contact force calculation. As shown in Figure 3 , wherein the potential-based contact force calculation is widely used in the contact force calculation of continuous / discontinuous method due to its simplicity and stability in the calculation process. Its main principle can be expressed as:

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] wherein, is the normal contact force between the contact pairs, is the normal contact stiffness, is the contact potential gradient inside the contact block, is the contact potential gradient inside the target block.

[0104] 2. Observation data acquisition

[0105] The electrical property of rock is one of the inherent physical properties of rock, which is closely related to the porosity, fracture propagation and deformation of rock under constant environmental factors. When rock is subjected to various factors such as load, environmental change and chemical reaction, it will cause changes in the initiation, propagation and penetration of internal defects, resulting in changes in its electrical properties and affecting related electrical parameters. Therefore, the electrical property of rock can be represented by the conductivity or resistivity, which can reflect the internal fracture development and expansion and quantify the internal damage of rock.

[0106] Specifically, an acoustic-electric sensor is needed to be arranged on the surface of the rock sample, and an external force is applied to the rock by using a loading device to simulate the real underground stress condition. The acoustic-electric sensor is connected to a switch through a high-temperature and high-pressure cable, and then connected to a resistivity acquisition instrument to receive the resistivity signal, including potential difference, apparent resistivity, data acquisition error, etc. Finally, the signal is processed and analyzed by using an algorithm to extract useful signals, such as Figure 2 as shown.

[0107] The electrical measurement is performed by measuring the potential difference and current between the electrodes, and calculating the resistivity of the rock. The specific formula for calculating the resistivity depends on the electrode arrangement method used, and the common arrangement methods include the Wenner method and the Schlumberger method.

[0108] Regardless of the arrangement method used, the general formula for calculating the resistivity is:

[0109]

[0110] where: is the apparent resistivity ( · ), is the geometric factor, is the measured potential difference (V), is the injected current (A).

[0111] By inversion calculation, the observed potential difference and the calculated potential difference obtained by forward calculation are minimized, that is, the error between the observed potential difference and the calculated potential difference is minimized. The objective function is usually expressed as:

[0112]

[0113] where, is the potential difference of the th measurement, is the potential difference calculated according to the resistivity model, is the regularization term, which is used to smooth the resistivity model, is a regularization parameter that controls the weight of the regularization term.

[0114] By continuously updating the resistivity model, the objective function value is gradually reduced, and thus the rock failure resistivity cloud map is obtained as the observed value.

[0115] 3. Data assimilation algorithm

[0116] The core idea of the assimilation algorithm is to combine the actual observation data (resistivity data) and the information of the driving numerical model (predicted value) through an optimization method, to correct the initial conditions or parameters of the numerical model, so that it better meets the actual observation data, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the model.

[0117] The assimilation algorithm can be expressed in the following basic form:

[0118]

[0119] where, is the state variable or parameter variable (optimal estimate of the model state variable or parameter) of the th iteration, is the updated state variable or parameter vector, i.e., the optimal estimate of the th iteration, is the gain matrix of the th iteration, used to adjust the weight of the observation data and the model predicted data, is the measured observation data vector obtained by the electrode sensor, is the model operator that maps the state variable or parameter variable to the predicted value in the observation space, i.e., the model predicted data.

[0120] The main steps are as follows:

[0121] (1) Prediction stage, according to the current state variable or parameter estimate , the predicted data is calculated through the numerical model

[0122] (2) Analysis / Update stage, compare the predicted data with the measured data , calculate the difference between them, use the gain matrix to adjust the weight of the predicted data and the observation data, and generate the updated state variable or parameter estimate .

[0123] (3) Iterative process, repeatedly perform the prediction and analysis steps until the convergence condition or the number of iterations is reached.

[0126] The loading device is used for applying external force to the rock sample.

[0127] The temperature and pressure control device is connected with the loading device and is used for controlling the temperature and pressure of the loading device to simulate the real underground stress condition.
