The application discloses a novel method and corresponding measuring device for rapidly measuring key mechanical parameters of rock, including
scratch hardness, Brinell
hardness, Young's modulus and Mohr-
Coulomb parameters (uniaxial
compressive strength and
internal friction angle). The equipment
system comprises a portable frame, which contains a set of horizontal linear driving equipment, equipped with a set of linear encoders for accurately measuring horizontal displacement; the vertical direction contains a set of
servo vertical driving equipment, equipped with a set of incremental magnetic encoders for accurately measuring
vertical displacement, and a set of linear variable differential transformers (LVDT) for accurately sensing the slight concave-convex fluctuation of the rock surface; the
servo motor drives the hemispherical composite piece through a screw rod; the size of the force in the
horizontal and vertical directions of the scratch is measured by a bidirectional
force sensor installed above the composite piece. The horizontal
linear motor and the vertical
servo motor are both loaded at a uniform speed; according to the size of the measured force, the
scratch hardness and the Brinell
hardness of the rock can be calculated; according to the theoretical solution of the
slip line field hemispherical tooth, the Mohr-
Coulomb parameters of the rock, including the uniaxial
compressive strength (or cohesive force) and the
internal friction angle, can be inversely calculated. When the vertical servo motor is loaded alone, the Brinell
hardness of the rock can also be calculated; the Young's modulus can be calculated by the stiffness during unloading.
