Abstract

The fracture processes under static tensile loading were simulated using a proposed numerical simulation method, based on finite element method and fracture mechanism, and analyzed to verify an influence of rock inhomogeneity on static tensile strength. Static tensile strengths for the specimen models with different spatial microscopic tensile strength when m=5 and m=50 were estimated. These analyses revealed that the static tensile strength becomes closer to the mean microscopic tensile strength at a higher uniformity coefficient and the scatter of the strength data decreases in increasing the uniformity coefficients. Therefore, it could be concluded that rock inhomogeneity has an effect on static tensile strength.

암석의 불균질성이 정적 인장강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해, 유한요소해석법과 파괴역학에 기초하여 제안된 수치해석기법을 사용하여 정적 일축인장시험을 가정한 암석 파쇄 과정을 해석하였다 정적 인장강도 는 미시적 인장강도를 가진 모델 시험편의 파쇄 과정으로부터 평가되었으며, 평가된 공시체 강도는 미시적 인장 강도의 최소치보다 약간 큰 값에 일치하였으며, 그 강도의 흩어짐은 균질성 계수가 증가합에 따라 감소하였다. 본 해석 결과들로부터 암석 불균질성이 정적 인장강도에 미치는 중요한 요인임을 지적할 수 있었다.
