Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rock mechanics testing technology, specifically relating to a conventional triaxial testing system and method for simulating residual stress inside rocks. Background Technology

[0002] Rocks exist in complex geostress environments throughout geological evolution and engineering service, and their mechanical properties and fracture behavior are significantly influenced by stress state and loading history. To study the deformation characteristics, strength evolution, and failure mechanisms of rocks under stress conditions, laboratory rock mechanics testing methods are widely used. Among these, the conventional triaxial compression test is particularly effective because it can apply principal stress in the axial direction and isotropic confining pressure in the radial direction.

[0003] Existing conventional triaxial testing techniques typically apply axial loads to rock samples through upper and lower indenters and apply uniform confining pressure to the outer surface of the rock sample using a confining pressure chamber, thereby constructing a stress state where axial stress and radial confining pressure act together. Extensive research and related patents have explored improvements to the loading accuracy, sealing performance, and testing methods of conventional triaxial testing devices. For example, patent application CN102128741A proposes a triaxial rheological testing process and method for hard and brittle rocks; patent application CN106525598A discloses a simple triaxial compression testing instrument for rocks; and patent application CN107132127A provides a novel conventional triaxial compression testing device and method for rocks. These existing technologies are relatively mature in terms of external axial stress and confining pressure loading, but their testing concepts still mainly focus on the application and control of external stress conditions.

[0004] In existing conventional triaxial testing studies, a fundamental assumption is typically implicitly made: after a rock sample is taken from the original rock mass and processed into a regular shape, its internal stress has been completely released, and the rock sample can be considered to be in a stress-free state at the start of the test. However, considering the integrity of rock materials and stress release mechanisms, the stress release process often occurs first in the outer surface region of the specimen. Due to the encapsulation and constraint of the outer structure, the stress state inside the specimen may not be released synchronously and completely. Especially under the combined effects of rock heterogeneity, the development of structural planes, and disturbances during sampling and processing, a certain residual stress state may still remain inside the specimen. This residual stress manifests physically as the retention effect of internal stress under external constraints.

[0005] The above research indicates that rocks may have complex stress states under different loading histories and constraint conditions. Traditional triaxial testing methods that rely solely on external axial stress and confining pressure are insufficient for independently and controllably simulating and studying the residual stress inside rocks. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problem that conventional triaxial testing methods commonly used in existing rock mechanics experiments are insufficient for simulating the residual stress state inside rock samples, especially after the rock sample has been removed from its original stress environment, as it may still retain certain residual stresses due to structural constraints and encapsulation effects. Existing conventional triaxial tests typically only consider external confining pressure and axial stress, making it difficult to independently and controllably simulate these internal stresses in a laboratory setting. The purpose of this invention is to provide a conventional triaxial testing system and method for simulating residual stress inside rocks. By setting an internal pressure loading system inside the rock sample, including a flexible bladder with sealed openings at both ends connecting to an upper and lower pressure head, and injecting a pressure medium into the flexible bladder using an internal pressure hydraulic pump, the residual stress inside the rock can be simulated, more realistically reproducing the mechanical response characteristics of the rock under its original stress environment.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a conventional triaxial testing system for simulating residual stress inside rock is used to simulate the stress of the rock sample 3 to be tested. The system includes an axial pressure loading system, a confining pressure loading system, and an internal pressure loading system. The axial pressure loading system is used to apply axial stress to the rock sample 3 to be tested. ; The confining pressure loading system is used to apply a uniformly distributed radial confining pressure to the outer surface of the rock sample 3. ; like Figure 3 As shown, the rock sample 3 has a cylindrical outer contour and a flat outer surface, and has an axial through hole 301 for arranging the internal pressure loading system. like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the internal pressure loading system is used to apply uniformly distributed internal pressure to the rock sample 3. The flexible bag 8, which is inserted into the axial through hole 301, has its two ends sealed and connected to the upper pressure head 4 and the lower pressure head 1, respectively, for transmitting axial stress. The upper pressure head 4 and the lower pressure head 1 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the rock sample 3, and are used to transmit the axial stress applied by the axial pressure loading system to the end face of the rock sample 3. The upper pressure head 4 has an upper pressure head first channel 5 inside, one end of which is connected to the inside of the flexible bag 8, and the other end is connected to the outside through the second shut-off valve 23 for venting or depressurizing. The lower pressure head 1 has a lower pressure head first channel 9 inside, one end of which is connected to the inside of the flexible bag 8, and the other end is connected to an internal pressure hydraulic pump 24.

[0030] The flexible bag 8 has a cylindrical structure and is made of an oil-resistant elastic material. In this embodiment, fluororubber is used, but in other embodiments, nitrile rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane can also be used. The size of the flexible bag 8 is configured such that, after hydraulic oil is injected, it can apply pressure to the inner wall of the rock sample 3. The internal pressure.

[0031] The upper pressure head 4 has a cylindrical protrusion 401 on its lower surface, and the lower pressure head 1 has a cylindrical protrusion 101 on its upper surface. The flexible bag 8 has openings at both ends that are respectively fitted onto the outer sides of the cylindrical protrusion 401 and the cylindrical protrusion 101. The dimensions and shapes of the upper pressure head cylindrical boss 401 and the lower pressure head cylindrical boss 101 are configured such that they can be inserted into the axial through hole 301 after the flexible bag 8 is fitted on them.

[0032] Both the upper pressure head cylindrical boss 401 and the lower pressure head cylindrical boss 101 have annular grooves on their outer peripheries. Annular sealing rings 29 are installed in the grooves, and the end of the flexible bag 8 is pressed against the annular groove area by a clamping ring 30, so that the flexible bag 8 is tightly attached to the annular sealing ring 29 to form an end sealing structure. The matching design of the annular groove and the clamping ring 30 ensures that the outer wall remains basically flat with the rest of the parts after clamping, which facilitates the insertion of the whole structure into the axial through hole 301.

[0033] The upper pressure head 4 includes an upper pressure head cylindrical loading plate 402, and the lower pressure head 1 includes a lower pressure head cylindrical loading plate 102. The upper pressure head cylindrical boss 401 is connected to the lower surface of the upper pressure head cylindrical loading plate 402, and the lower pressure head cylindrical boss 101 is connected to the upper surface of the lower pressure head cylindrical loading plate 102. The cross-sections of the upper pressure head cylindrical loading plate 402 and the lower pressure head cylindrical loading plate 102 are adapted to the end face of the rock sample 3, for use in conjunction with the axial pressure loading system to transfer axial stress. Transferred to rock sample 3.

[0034] The axial pressure loading system includes an upper seat 14 and a base 26. The upper seat 14 is located above the upper pressure head 4, and the base 26 is located below the lower pressure head 1. The upper seat 14 has multiple vertical through holes, and each through hole is equipped with a screw 12. The screw 12 is threadedly engaged with the base 26. The upper seat 14 includes a hydraulic chamber, within which a T-shaped piston 20 is axially movable. The T-shaped piston 20 divides the hydraulic chamber into a first hydraulic chamber 13 and a second hydraulic chamber 17, with the lower end of the T-shaped piston 20 extending beyond the lower wall of the hydraulic chamber. The T-shaped piston 20, the upper pressure head 4, the rock sample 3, the lower pressure head 1, and the base 26 are coaxially arranged along the same vertical centerline. The T-shaped piston 20 is driven to engage with the upper pressure head 4, and the T-shaped piston 20 has a stroke range. Within the first interval of the stroke range, the T-shaped piston 20 is driven to engage with the upper pressure head 4 to compress it. Within the second interval of the stroke range, the T-shaped piston 20 disengages from the upper pressure head 4. By controlling the inlet and outlet states of the two hydraulic pumps, the up and down movement of the T-shaped piston 20 is achieved, thereby completing the axial stress. Loading and unloading.

The sealing sleeve 2 is made of an oil-resistant thermoplastic material. In this embodiment, cross-linked polyolefin heat-shrinkable material is used. In other embodiments, polyvinylidene fluoride heat-shrinkable material or other heat-shrinkable thermoplastic materials with oil-resistant sealing properties can also be used. The sealing sleeve 2 extends axially to the side walls of the upper pressure head 4 and the lower pressure head 1, respectively, for radial compression. During loading, a continuous external sealing and isolation structure is formed to prevent the confining hydraulic oil from seeping into the sample or leaking along the ends.

[0037] The confining pressure cavity wall 11 is a cylindrical structure, coaxially arranged around the outer periphery of the sleeve 2. The lower surface of the upper seat 14 and the upper surface of the base 26 are both provided with a frustum adapted to the cylindrical structure. The confining pressure cavity wall 11 is placed between the upper seat 14 and the base 26 and is snapped onto the frustum, so that the confining pressure cavity wall 11 forms a corresponding sleeve sealing structure with the base 26 and the upper seat 14 at the upper and lower ends of the axial direction, thereby improving the overall sealing performance and confining pressure loading stability of the confining pressure cavity.

[0038] The confining pressure cavity wall 11, upper seat 14, base 26 and sealing sleeve 2 together form a confining pressure cavity, which is used to apply uniform radial confining pressure to the rock sample 3. The first channel 27 of the confining pressure chamber is located inside the base 26, with one end connected to the confining pressure chamber and the other end connected to the confining pressure hydraulic pump 28. The second channel 21 of the confining pressure chamber is disposed on the wall 11 of the confining pressure chamber.

[0039] The screw 12 is threaded into the base 26, which tightens and fixes the upper seat 14, the base 26, and the confining pressure cavity wall 11 as a whole in the axial direction. This structure can effectively resist the separation force generated during axial loading and confining pressure loading, and prevent the confining pressure cavity structure from axially loosening or separating.

[0040] The first channel 9 of the lower pressure head is connected to the internal pressure hydraulic pump 24 through the second channel 25 of the lower pressure head. The second channel 25 of the lower pressure head is located inside the base 26, with one end of the channel opening located at the center of the base 26 and connected to the first channel 9 of the lower pressure head through the first quick-change connector 10. The other end of the channel opening is connected to the internal pressure hydraulic pump 24. The first channel 5 of the upper pressure head is connected to the second shut-off valve 23 through the second channel 7 of the upper pressure head. The second channel 7 of the upper pressure head passes through the wall 11 of the confining pressure cavity. One end of the channel is connected to the first channel 5 of the upper pressure head through the second quick-connect connector 6, and the other end of the channel is connected to the outside through the second shut-off valve 23.

[0041] The upper first hydraulic pump 15, upper second hydraulic pump 19, internal pressure hydraulic pump 24 and confining pressure hydraulic pump 28 contain hydraulic sensors and are connected to a sufficient amount of external hydraulic oil according to actual working needs. The hydraulic sensors are connected to the processing control system 32 through the sensing control line 31. The processing control system 32 combines the pressure set value and the pressure value fed back by the hydraulic sensors in each hydraulic pump to control the operation of each hydraulic pump.

Step 3: Insert the upper pressure head cylindrical boss 401 equipped with the flexible bag 8 into the upper end of the axial through hole 301 of the rock sample 3, so that the flexible bag 8 passes through the axial through hole 301 and exits from the bottom of the hole; then, put the lower end of the flexible bag 8 on the outside of the lower pressure head cylindrical boss 101 and fix it with the clamping ring 30. Step 4: Place the sealing sleeve 2 on the outside of the structure assembled in Step 3, and use a hot air blower to heat the sealing sleeve 2, so that it shrinks during the heating process and tightly covers the outer surface of the rock sample 3 and the adjacent area of ​​the upper pressure head 4 and the lower pressure head 1, thereby forming an outer seal. Step 5: Place the sample assembly assembled in Step 4 onto the base 26, and connect the first channel 9 of the lower pressure head and the second channel 25 of the lower pressure head through the first quick-connect connector 10 to complete the connection of the internal pressure channels. Step 6: Fit the lower inner wall of the confining cavity wall 11 onto the outer side of the central protruding truncated cone of the base 26; then connect the upper pressure head first channel 5 and the upper pressure head second channel 7 of the upper pressure head 4 through the second quick-connect coupling 6 for venting and depressurization during the internal pressure loading process. Step 7: Insert the truncated cone portion protruding at the lower end of the upper seat 14 into the upper inner wall of the confining cavity wall 11, and pass the screw 12 through the vertical through hole of the upper seat 14, and screw its lower end into the threaded round hole of the base 26 and tighten it, so that the upper seat 14, the base 26 and the confining cavity wall 11 form an axially tensioned integral structure. Step 8, follow as follows Figure 5 The load state shown applies internal pressure to simulate residual stress within the rock. First, open the second shut-off valve 23. The processing control system 32 then starts the internal pressure hydraulic pump 24, injecting hydraulic oil into the flexible bag 8 through the second channel 25 and the first channel 9 of the lower pressure head. When hydraulic oil continuously flows out of the second shut-off valve 23, it indicates that the air in the flexible bag 8 has been completely expelled and it is filled with hydraulic oil. At this point, close the second shut-off valve 23 and continue to pressurize the flexible bag 8 by the internal pressure hydraulic pump 24 until the set internal pressure is reached. ; Step 9, follow as follows Figure 5 The load state shown applies axial stress. and radial confining pressure : Among them, axial stress is applied At the same time, the processing control system 32 controls the start of the upper seat second hydraulic pump 19 to deliver hydraulic oil to the upper seat second hydraulic chamber 17 through the upper seat second channel 18, and simultaneously controls the upper seat first hydraulic pump 15 to discharge the hydraulic oil in the upper seat first hydraulic chamber 13 through the upper seat first channel 16, causing the T-shaped piston 20 to move downward until the set axial stress is reached. ; Apply radial confining pressure When the first shut-off valve 22 is opened, the control system 32 starts the confining pressure hydraulic pump 28, injecting hydraulic oil into the confining pressure chamber through the first channel 27. When hydraulic oil flows out of the first shut-off valve 22, the first shut-off valve 22 is closed, and the confining pressure hydraulic pump 28 continues to inject hydraulic oil into the confining pressure chamber until the set radial confining pressure is reached. This causes the outer surface of rock sample 3 to be subjected to uniform radial confining pressure. ; The internal pressure Axial stress and radial confining pressure They can be independently controlled; Step 10: After the test, unload in the reverse order of loading: unload the internal pressure. When the second shut-off valve 23 is opened, the hydraulic oil in the flexible bag 8 flows out through the second shut-off valve 23. Then, the processing control system 32 controls the start of the internal pressure hydraulic pump 24, which recovers the residual hydraulic oil in the flexible bag 8 through the second channel 25 of the lower pressure head and the first channel 9 of the lower pressure head. Unloading axial stress At the same time, the processing control system 32 controls the start of the upper seat first hydraulic pump 15 to deliver hydraulic oil to the upper seat first hydraulic chamber 13 through the upper seat first channel 16, and at the same time controls the upper seat second hydraulic pump 19 to discharge the hydraulic oil in the upper seat second hydraulic chamber 17 through the upper seat second channel 18, so that the T-shaped piston 20 moves upward. Unloading radial confining pressure When the first shut-off valve 22 is opened, the hydraulic oil in the confining pressure chamber is discharged through the first shut-off valve 22. Subsequently, the processing control system 32 controls the start of the confining pressure hydraulic pump 28 to recover the hydraulic oil in the confining pressure chamber. Step 11: After unloading is completed, remove the upper seat 14 and related loading components, take out the rock sample 3, and clean and reset the equipment.

[0043] Compared to existing conventional triaxial tests, this invention introduces internal pressure under conventional triaxial test conditions. The loading method introduces the residual stress inside the rock as an independent and controllable physical quantity into the test system, causing rock sample 3 to be subjected to axial stress. and radial confining pressure While functioning, it can withstand adjustable internal pressure, thus more realistically simulating the residual internal stress state that rocks may retain after excavation and unloading in the original rock stress environment. This invention uses a cylindrical rock sample 3 with an axially penetrating hole 301 as the specimen, combined with a flexible bag 8. This creates a stable and uniform internal pressure field without compromising the integrity of the specimen, effectively avoiding the loading instability problems caused by hole wall penetration, local stress concentration, or sealing failure in traditional tests. The synergistic sealing structure of the outer sealing sleeve and the confining pressure cavity wall improves the radial confining pressure. The uniformity and reliability of the loading ensure that the outer surface of the specimen is in a stable isotropic confining pressure environment during the loading process. This test system and method can achieve independent control of internal residual stress, axial stress and confining pressure within a conventional triaxial test framework. The loading path is flexible and has good repeatability, which is conducive to conducting research on the strength, deformation and fracture evolution of rocks under different internal residual stress levels and external stress combinations. It provides a more physically realistic experimental means for the stability analysis of deep rock mass engineering and related test method research.
