Energy dissimilation characteristics and shock mechanism of coal-rock mass induced in steeply-inclined mining: comparison based on physical simulation and numerical calculation

Huicong Xu et al.

Summary: In recent years, rockbursts induced by the instability of the coal-rock mass have become more serious in steeply-inclined coal seam mining in the Urumqi mining area. This study investigated the energy dissemination characteristics and squeeze-prying induced-shock mechanism of steeply-inclined coal-rock mass during deep mining. The results revealed the deep mining limit depth of the Wudong Coal Mine and the long-term low frequency-energy storage period of the mass. The study also proposed control measures to effectively reduce high energy microseismic events and stress concentration in the strong-weak structural area.

Cosserat ordinary state-based peridynamic model and numerical simulation of rock fracture

Luming Zhou et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an ordinary state-based peridynamic (OS-PD) model based on the Cosserat continuum to predict the propagation and coalescence of rock cracks. Compared with the classical OS-PD model, the pairwise moment between two material points is also considered in the proposed Cosserat ordinary state-based peridynamic (COS-PD) model. The rotational stiffness and rotation angle are introduced to characterize the microdeformation and microstructure of rock, and the expression of rotational stiffness coefficient is derived. Three numerical cases are presented to compare the performance of OS-PD model and COS-PD model, and the effect of rotational stiffness on crack growth is investigated. The results show that the introduction of pairwise moment accelerates the rock failure process, and the crack propagation type and coalescence mode are more inclined to shear failure with the increase of rotation stiffness coefficient. Compared with experimental results, it is found that the COS-PD model can extend the classical OS-PD model and better capture the evolution process of the rock crack.

An improved meshless method for modeling the mesoscale cracking processes of concrete containing random aggregates and initial defects

Shuyang Yu et al.

Summary: Traditional kernel functions in SPH have been improved to simulate progressive cracking processes. A method for generating meso properties in concrete and a region searching algorithm have been proposed. Uniaxial tension numerical simulations have been carried out on concrete specimens with different initial defects and aggregate percentages, showing that these factors greatly affect concrete failure modes. The rationality of the improved method has been verified by comparing with previous experimental and numerical results, and future research should focus on the development of multi-field coupling 3D parallel MSC-IKSPH programs.

Luming Zhou et al.

Summary: The study explains the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical coupling mechanism in an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) reservoir and establishes a fully coupled mathematical model, verified through an example.
