Abstract:
To explore the confining pressure(CP)effect on the I-mode crack dynamic fracture process of rock,the split Hopkinson pressure bar test with CP was carried out by numerical analysis method with shale notch semi-circular bending specimen as the research object.The influence of CP on crack propagation velocity and fracture toughness was analyzed.The results show that CP will limit crack development and improve fracture resistance.When the impact stress wave amplitude is between 325~375 MPa,the initial crack generation is delayed by 3~6 μs,the crack propagation velocities are reduced by 5.5%~20%,and the fracture toughness is increased by 1.01~ 1.05 times for every 2 MPa increase in CP.
