Research about the Influence of Loading History on the Rock’s Thermal Cracking Fracture

Abstract:

The research on the history of load and temperature to the influence of rock’s damage and fracture is rare. Commonly, it takes no account of the order of load and temperature and despite how the load’s history which arose its damage of thermal fracture is, the process of damage evolvement and the intensity of fracture is same as long as adds of carry is similar to temperature value. However, the thermal influenced by the history of adds of temperature and the result will be different under different order of adds of carry. This paper carries through meso-structure experiment of different order of adds of carry and temperature by the numbers, observe the process of limestone’s thermal crack damage under the different order of adds of temperature and carry on real time with instrument such as DaoJin High Temperature Fatigue Testing System with Scanning Electron Microscope. In the view of the rock’s tiny crack growth, compute its crack tip energy release rate under different order of adds of carry. The result of theory and experiment indicate that the fracture of rock’s thermal cracking are intensively influenced by the history of adds of carry.
