Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of numerical simulation of rock mechanics and fracture mechanics, and specifically relates to a numerical simulation prediction method and system for thermo-mechanical coupling fracture analysis of anisotropic rock masses. Background Technology
[0002] Rock mechanics engineering is often conducted in extreme deep-earth environments characterized by high geothermal temperatures and high geostress. Under these extreme conditions, thermally induced fractures caused by drastic temperature gradient changes or localized thermal shocks become a major cause of structural damage and even destruction. The widespread presence of oriented bedding planes within rock masses results in significant thermal and mechanical anisotropy. Numerous high-temperature rock mechanics tests have confirmed that the mechanical properties of anisotropic rock masses exhibit directional differences. Due to the high cost of experiments, numerical simulation has become a crucial tool for investigating thermo-mechanically coupled fracture behavior. The classical finite element method (FEM) suffers from stress singularities in its spatial derivatives when dealing with geometrically discontinuous boundaries such as crack tips. The extended finite element method (EPM) introduces enrichment functions to characterize crack surface jumps, but this significantly increases computational complexity, particularly when handling complex morphologies such as multiple crack intersections and branches under thermo-mechanical coupling. Furthermore, while element deletion methods and cohesion models alleviate singularities, they rely on pre-defined crack propagation paths and are constrained by mesh dependence.

[0016] (2) Traditional near-field dynamic orthogonal anisotropic heat conduction models impose rigid restrictions on the range and ratio of heat conduction coefficients in the two principal directions of the rock mass due to limitations in the derivation method.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example 1 This invention provides a numerical simulation prediction method for thermo-mechanical coupled fracture analysis of anisotropic rock masses. It proposes a thermo-mechanical coupled anisotropic damage model based on conventional near-field dynamics (OSBPD), simultaneously considering the anisotropy of heat conduction and force field deformation. The method quantitatively analyzes the fracture initiation and propagation of rock slabs with singular defects under temperature variations. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Initialize the model. Create a peridynamic model based on the actual requirements, inputting specific parameters for materials, geometry, and peridynamics. Identify and calibrate the principal direction angles of the material, and use angle tolerances to identify reinforcing bonds along the principal directions, as well as isotropic peridynamic bonds; Identification of anisotropic bonds in step one. In addition to isotropic basic bonds, when the angle between the bond direction of the connecting material point and the principal direction of the rock mass or the direction perpendicular to the principal direction is within the tolerance range, the bond is defined as a reinforcing bond along the principal direction or a reinforcing bond perpendicular to the principal direction, respectively, thus completing the initialization of model direction bond identification.
[0023] Specifically: First, the model is initialized to determine material, geometric, and near-field dynamic parameters. Due to the innovative introduction of a principal direction enhancement method, bond classification is necessary during the preparation phase. By introducing an angular tolerance that allows for mesh deviation (preset to 5°), bonds coinciding with the first principal direction (parallel to the bedding plane) and the second principal direction (perpendicular to the bedding plane) of the rock mass are selected and labeled as first principal direction enhancement bonds, second principal direction enhancement bonds, and the initially existing isotropic bonds, for a total of three types of bonds. A detailed illustration is shown below. Figure 1 As shown.
[0024] Step two, heat conduction analysis. The heat transfer model uses the conventional near-field dynamics heat transfer governing equations to realize transient heat conduction. The near-field dynamics model discretizes the continuous medium into an array of material points and utilizes the nonlocal bonds of these material points within the near-field range to simulate the interactions within the material, thereby achieving the synchronous transfer and coupling of force and heat. Material points The numerical model of the heat transfer control equation is expressed as follows: In the formula, , and They are matter points The density, specific heat capacity, and first derivative of temperature; yes scalar state function of heat flux density; It is the current time; i It is the index subscript of the target material point; j It is the target material point i The index subscripts of neighboring material points within the near field range; It is the nearest matter point in the near field. j Volume; It is a heat source.
[0025] By applying temperature boundary conditions and heat sources, and using explicit time integration to update the transient temperature field of each material point, the rapid thermal propagation characteristics of heat along the main direction of the rock mass are captured.
[0026] Specifically: Based on the model initialized in step one, heat conduction analysis is performed. A temperature load is applied, and the temperature field distribution of the model is obtained through near-field dynamics numerical solution. Within the near-field dynamics framework, heat exchange is driven by a heat flux scalar state function.
[0027] The anisotropic heat flux scalar state function is derived using the equivalent thermal potential energy density. The scalar state function of heat flux for anisotropic heat transfer is as follows: In the formula, and It is the thermal conductivity along the first principal direction and the second principal direction; m 0 is the volume-weighted factor for the isotropic portion of the peri-field dynamics. m 1 is the volume-weighted component of the peri-field dynamics along the principal direction. m 2 is the volume-weighted quantity along the principal direction of the near-field dynamics. It is the influence function of the isotropic part. It is a partial influence function along the main direction. It is a two-part influence function along the main direction. It is the temperature difference between points of matter.
[0028] The weighted volume corresponding to the equivalent isotropic part and the principal direction enhancement part m Represented as: In the formula, For bond length, It is an integral symbol. L 1 and L 2 represents the effective range of the reinforcing bond along the first and second principal directions, respectively. It refers to the near-field range.
[0029] Temperature conduction along the three bonds can be expressed in terms of temperature difference as follows: In the formula, , and These are the temperature differences between the two material points at the ends of an isotropic bond, a bond reinforced along the first principal direction, and a bond reinforced along the second principal direction, respectively. and It is the lower edge of the material points at both ends of the bond in the global coordinate system. x and y The relative coordinate difference along the axis. b and c This represents the temperature gradient components of the linear temperature field along the x-axis and y-axis in the global coordinate system.
[0030] Step 3, thermo-mechanical coupling analysis stage. The force field deformation is calculated using the conventional peri-field dynamics control equations, and its numerical model can be expressed as: In the formula, For matter points The second derivative of the displacement is the acceleration. For matter points The near-field range, For matter points Force density function Scalar state.
[0031] The temperature field variation is introduced into the mechanical constitutive model, and the force density function is modified by incorporating the direction-dependent thermal expansion effect. The mechanical deformation and displacement of the nodes are updated using the Adaptive Dynamic Relaxation (ADR) method.
[0032] Specifically: The thermal expansion effect caused by anisotropic heat transfer is introduced into the force density scalar state function of the governing equation. The corrected force density scalar state function is expressed as: In the formula, , , and These are the stiffness matrix components of the elastic parameters. It is the volume expansion amount. This represents the elongation of the bond.
[0033] The thermal expansion correction term can be expressed as: In the formula, It is a two-dimensional volumetric thermal expansion correction term. It is the bond elongation caused by thermal expansion. and Bond elongation along the principal direction caused by thermal expansion. It is the change in temperature of a point in matter.
[0034] Step four, fracture propagation analysis stage. The near-field dynamic bond state is determined using the critical elongation failure criterion. The thermal expansion-corrected bond elongation is incorporated into the function for determining bond damage; the corrected bond damage function can be expressed as: In the formula, for Time button elongation, No. i Critical elongation of class bonds (corresponding to isotropic bonds, first principal direction reinforcing bonds, and second principal direction reinforcing bonds), and These are the coefficients of thermal expansion along the principal direction and perpendicular to the principal direction. For key The angle between the main direction and the main direction.
[0035] For different types of bonds in anisotropic materials, when their elongation exceeds the corresponding critical elongation, the function value for judging bond damage changes from 1 to 0, corresponding to bond breakage, and then the crack propagation path is simulated.
[0036] Specifically: The bond state is determined using a bond-breaking criterion based on critical elongation. Critical elongation. It can be represented as: In the formula, and These represent the critical energy release rates of orthogonal anisotropic materials when the crack surface is perpendicular to the first principal direction and the second principal direction, respectively. , , and These are near-field dynamic elastic material parameters. , , and These are parameters related to the near-field dynamics influence function.
[0037] To better visualize macroscopic cracks and thus trace their propagation paths, nodal variables are used to analyze local damage. Defined as: Local damage to nodal variables This reflects the proportion of the volume of the broken bonds connected to the node to the total volume of the node's near-field region: when At that time, the node had no broken keys; The bond connected to that node breaks completely. This parameter... This allows for macroscopic observation of the damage level at each node, thereby tracing the crack propagation path. The specific numerical procedure is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0038] In summary, this method first employs peri-field dynamics, which, based on nonlocal theory, transforms traditional partial differential equations of motion into integral equations, thus avoiding the differential singularity of continuum mechanics when dealing with discontinuities such as cracks. Addressing the complexity of thermally induced fracture analysis in deep underground engineering due to the anisotropic material properties of rock masses, traditional numerical models struggle to systematically and accurately characterize their direction-dependent behavior. Therefore, a novel thermo-mechanically coupled peri-field dynamics framework is proposed. This model derives anisotropic heat conduction equations by introducing a principal direction enhancement method, incorporates direction-dependent thermal expansion effects into the mechanical constitutive relation, and adopts a bond-breaking failure criterion based on anisotropic critical elongation. This enables dynamic prediction of heat conduction, mechanical deformation, and crack initiation and propagation evolution processes in anisotropic rock masses under thermodynamic conditions.
[0039] Example 2 To verify the accuracy of the numerical model of this invention, this invention provides a case study for thermo-mechanical coupling mechanical analysis of anisotropic rock masses, the specific implementation of which is shown below: Step 1: First, initialize the model, determine the material, geometry and peri-field dynamic parameters, and then identify and classify the bonds according to the principal direction.

In the numerical model, heat conduction is calculated using explicit integration. For the force field, a quasi-static solution is obtained using the ADR numerical integration method.
[0041] Table 1. Shale Slab Material Parameters Step 2: The temperature field updates over time, accompanied by an update of the force field, simulating mechanical phenomena such as model deformation. To verify the accuracy of the established model, the temperature and displacement curves calculated by the model are compared and analyzed with the calculation results of the finite element method (FEM), using time as the variable, to verify the calculation accuracy and effectiveness of the model.
[0042] Using time as a variable, initial layering perspective The temperature versus displacement curves and contour plots of the case study model are compared with those of the finite element method. Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown: Depend on Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the temperature in the model gradually increases with time, and the displacement caused by thermal expansion gradually increases with the increase of heat conduction. The temperature and displacement curves obtained from the near-field dynamics simulation agree well with the finite element results. Figure 6 As shown, the near-field dynamics at different times are basically consistent with the displacement contour plots of the finite element method, verifying the effectiveness of the model in handling thermo-mechanical coupling problems.
[0043] This invention provides a case study for thermo-mechanical coupling fracture analysis of anisotropic rock masses, and the specific implementation operation is as follows: Step 1: First, initialize the model, determine the material, geometry and peri-field dynamic parameters, and then identify and classify the bonds according to the principal direction.

The critical elongation criterion in near-field dynamics is used to determine the bond breakage damage, and then the local damage value of the nodal variables is calculated to simulate the crack propagation path.
[0046] Figure 8 As shown, for all four bedding orientations, cracks initiate at the hole wall and propagate outwards towards the warmer external region. Rapid cooling of the hole surface leads to significant thermal contraction of the material, generating substantial circumferential tensile deformation around the hole opening, which becomes the primary driving force for crack initiation. and The operating conditions manifested as linear crack propagation along the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. For... and In the direction of the crack, the crack propagates along the direction collinear with the angle of its respective bedding plane. For and Under these conditions, cracks appear near the top and bottom of the circular hole. And for... and In all operating conditions, the cracks originate near the left and right boundaries of the circular hole. All operating conditions exhibit the characteristic of symmetrical crack propagation from both sides of the hole; this morphology is commonly referred to as the symmetrical biplane crack mode in rock fracture mechanics.
