Determination of Dynamic Crack Initiation and Propagation Toughness of a Rock Using a Hybrid Experimental-Numerical Approach
AbstractIn order to determine the mode-I (opening mode) dynamic fracture toughness of a rock, cracked-straight-through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) specimens with strain gauges glued on the specimen’s surface were diametrically impacted by a split Hopkinson pressure bar. A hybrid experimental-numerical approach was used to determine the dynamic initiation toughness, and it was also used in conjunction with a universal function to obtain the dynamic propagation toughness. Precautions were taken for getting the time history of dynamic stress intensity factors. Numerical accuracy, stability, and convergence to the solution were guaranteed by analyzing beforehand a widely-recognized benchmark dynamic crack problem. Using the numerical technique the result of the conducted trial analysis corresponded almost exactly with the classical result. The dynamic initiation toughness and dynamic propagation toughness of the rock increase with increasing dynamic loading rate and crack propagation speed, respectively, demonstrating the same variation tendencies reported in related literature. The present study shows that the experimental-numerical approach is both simple and effective.
