Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of materials mechanics, and in particular to a method for evaluating the lifespan of compressible brittle solid materials after high-temperature heating. Background Technology

[0002] Many engineering construction fields, including building engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, and transportation engineering, utilize a large amount of brittle solid materials, such as concrete, ceramics, and glass. During the operational phase of these projects, they are inevitably affected by fire. Therefore, considering the safety and stability of the engineering structure after fire impact is crucial in the early stages of construction. Brittle solid materials are the core materials for constructing these engineering structures. Exposure to high temperatures during a fire can cause internal damage to these brittle solid materials, which are constantly subjected to compressive loads, increasing the likelihood of material failure and leading to safety hazards in these brittle solid engineering structures. Therefore, effectively evaluating the lifespan of brittle solid materials under compressive loads after high-temperature heating is of significant application value for the design and reinforcement of brittle solid material engineering structures. A method for evaluating the lifespan of compressively brittle solid materials after high-temperature heating is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for evaluating the lifespan of compressible brittle solid materials after high-temperature heating, in order to solve the problems of existing technologies.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention includes the following steps: A. Select a target compressible brittle solid material and process it into four types of specimens, including cylindrical specimens, first cuboid specimens, second cuboid specimens and third cuboid specimens. Place the four types of specimens in an industrial oven for high-temperature heating treatment and then cool them to room temperature. B. The compressive strength of the cylindrical specimen was measured by a triaxial compression test. ; C conducts compression rheological tests and sets axial stress. The value is greater than 0 and less than the compressive strength. Lateral confinement The value range is 0- Pa; to obtain the compressive strain of the cylindrical specimen. With time The relationship curve, and the time corresponding to the complete failure of the sample, is characterized as the reference value of the initial lifetime of the material at that temperature; D. The proportion of microcracks inside the sample is measured by CT scan, and the initial damage size of the sample is determined based on the proportion of microcracks. We obtained multiple sets of initial damage data corresponding to different temperatures and fitted the relationship between initial damage and temperature. E measured the sliding friction coefficient of the first cuboid sample through a shear friction test. We obtained multiple sets of sliding friction coefficient data corresponding to different temperatures and fitted the relationship between sliding friction coefficient and temperature. F measured the fracture toughness of the second cuboid specimen at the point of fracture through a three-point bending load test. Multiple sets of fracture toughness data corresponding to different temperatures were collected, and the relationship between fracture toughness and temperature was obtained by fitting. G measured the stress erosion index of the third cuboid sample under the crack propagation state through a subcritical crack propagation test. With characteristic crack rate Multiple sets of stress erosion index and characteristic crack rate data corresponding to different temperatures were obtained, and the relationship between stress erosion index and temperature and the relationship between characteristic crack rate and temperature were obtained by fitting. H used fracture damage mechanics theory to establish the strain-time relationship of brittle solid materials under high temperature heating and derived the internal crack length value of the material under given load and temperature. The derived formula is as follows: ; ; ; ; ; ; In the formula: , , It is a material constant. It is the initial crack length, It is the initial crack angle. The number of internal cracks per unit volume of material. According to the formula Calculation determined; F determines parameters Initial crack length Initial crack angle The strain of the target compressive brittle solid material was then calculated and predicted under different temperatures and stresses. - Time evolution curves are used to evaluate the lifetime of compressible brittle solid materials after high-temperature heating.

[0005] Furthermore, the four types of samples are a cylindrical sample with a height of 10cm and a diameter of 5cm, a first cuboid sample with a height of 8cm, a diameter of 3cm, and a diameter of 1cm, a second cuboid sample with a height of 10cm, a diameter of 5cm, and a diameter of 2cm, and a third cuboid sample with a height of 18cm, a diameter of 6cm, and a diameter of 0.5cm.

[0006] Furthermore, by comparing the strain-time relationship curve of a brittle solid material after high-temperature heating with the strain-time relationship test curve, and when the two curves are substantially similar, the parameters of the equation are determined. Initial crack length Initial crack angle The parameters The range of values ​​is 0< <3, initial crack length The range of values ​​is 0< <0.004m, initial crack angle The range of values ​​is 0< <90°; Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention utilizes fracture damage mechanics theory to propose a deformation time evolution equation capable of evaluating the eventual failure of brittle solid materials after high-temperature heat treatment under prolonged compressive loading. The equation includes temperature, stress, strain, and time parameters. Temperature describes the external high-temperature heating environment, stress describes the magnitude of the external compressive load, deformation describes the magnitude of the deformation under external compressive loading after high-temperature heating, and time describes the time it takes for the material to ultimately fail under external compressive loading. The invention verifies the similarity and numerical comparability between the theoretical and experimental curves, ensuring the reliability of the life assessment results and providing a reference for the safety assessment of brittle solid material engineering structures after a fire.
