To evaluate the effect of nonparallel end face of rocklike specimens in SHPB tests, the characteristics of energy dissipation are analyzed based on numerical simulations for end-face nonparallelism from 0% to 0.40% and Young’s modulus from 14 GPa to 42 GPa. With the increment of end-face nonparallel...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the effect of nonparallel end face of rocklike specimens in SHPB tests, the characteristics of energy dissipation are analyzed based on numerical simulations for end-face nonparallelism from 0% to 0.40% and Young’s modulus from 14 GPa to 42 GPa. With the increment of end-face nonparallelism, both energy consumption density and dissipated energy density show a slight increase trend, while releasable elastic strain energy density presents a slight decrease trend. Existence of elastic unloading in the damaged rocklike specimen leads to a reduction of energy consumption density and a constant dissipated energy density during total strain shrinkage. At peak dynamic stress, dissipated energy density presents a linear upward trend with the increment of end-face nonparallelism and Young’s modulus, while releasable elastic strain energy density shows an inverse trend. A binary linear regression equation is deduced to estimate the energy dissipation ratio. Mechanical damage evolution of the rocklike specimen is divided into two regions in line with the two regions in dynamic stress-strain curves, and the transition between the slow-growth region and rapid-growth region is shifted to the right with the increment of end-face nonparallelism. Due to the presence of nonparallel end face, fluctuation presents in energy density evolution and mechanical damage evolution. The fluctuation is enhanced with the increment of end-face nonparallelism and weakened with the increase of Young’s modulus. Based on energy density evolution and mechanical damage evolution analyses, the maximum end-face nonparallelism should be controlled within 0.20%, twice the value in ISRM suggested methods, which reduces the cost and time for processing rocklike specimens.
