Abstract
Weakly filled structural planes are an important influence on the stability control of engineering rock mass. Weak fillings with different geometrical characteristics are randomly distributed in the natural rock mass. To investigate the dynamic mechanical response and fracture mechanism of granite containing both planar and circular weak filling, the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experimental system was used to conduct the dynamic impact test. In this paper, the dynamic mechanical properties, the fracture process, the energy evolution and the micro-morphological characteristics of the fragments are mainly analyzed. The results show that: (1) the dynamic uniaxial compressive strength (DUCS), peak strain, and deformation modulus are synergistically affected by the extension length (L) of planar filling and strain rate. The presence of planar weak filling leads to a decrease in strain rate dependence while weakening the specimens' DUCS, and improves the overall synergistic deformation capacity of the specimen. (2) Strain rate and L jointly affect the energy distribution and evolution characteristics of the specimen; L has an enhancement effect on the distribution of reflected energy and a weakening effect on the distribution of transmitted energy. The effect of L on the dissipation of energy is transformed by the strain rate. The strain rate and L are the dominant factors in the variability of stress waveform conversion. (3) At a low strain rate, L has a positive effect on the intensification of the degree of fragmentation, however, at a high strain rate, the effect is characterised by a shift between positive and negative. The degree of fragmentation has a strain rate effect. As L increases, L has a “negative effect” on the “strain rate effect” that affects the degree of fragmentation. (4) The degree of fragmentation of macroscopic fragments is closely related to the energy dissipation density, the relationship between the two appears as a logarithmic function change. The presence of weak filling does not significantly change the microscopic morphology of granite fragments. The loose and porous microstructure of gypsum is the main reason for the altered propagation characteristics of the stress waves.
