Abstract:
Aiming to bypass the inability to directly observe the evolution process of rock internal deformation and fracture, this paper proposes that rock samples with different inclination angles can be analyzed from the standpoint of energy, using the bond-base peridynamic theory and the PMB model of brittle materials, combined with laboratory experiments. The whole process of shearing is analyzed, and the LAMMPS software is used to simulate the internal energy change of rock-like materials under shear conditions, while the damage evolution law of samples with different dip angles is studied from macro and micro perspectives. The result shows that prefabricated cracks and the inclination of cracks are important factors for specimen damage, a finding that has important theoretical value for rock mechanics research. The research results can reduce the occurrence of rock burst accidents, the difficulty of mine support, and the cost of mining engineering, as well as improve mine safety levels.
