Abstract
Based on the analysis of the strain field of the dynamic crack tip under impact loading, a specific acute (obtuse) angle multi-point strain gauge method is proposed to study the mode I rock crack dynamic fracture. Compared with the dynamic caustics method, the feasibility of the strain gauge method for calculating the crack propagation velocity and dynamic stress intensity factor (SIF) is verified. The rock specimen mode I crack dynamic fracture behaviour under impact loading was studied by the strain gauge method and assisted by high-speed photography and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the mode I crack propagation behaviour calculated by two strain gauge methods under impact loading was close to the caustics experimental results. Compared with the dynamic caustics method, the multi-point strain gauge method could roughly record the crack propagation behaviour of rock under impact loading, which provides an experimental basis for studying non-transparent impact fracture. The rock section mainly experienced tensile stress failure under impact loading, manifested as mode I cracking, and the granite specimen fracture damage occurred in white spot micro-crack propagation. Under impact loading, cracks in both polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and granite specimens propagated stably in the middle stage of propagation, the average granite specimen crack propagation velocity was 647.9 m/s, and the average SIF value of was 5.37 MN/m3/2, which were higher than the PMMA specimen experimental results.
