Determination of the Stress-Strain State of the Rock Mass Surrounded with Points Lying on a Surface or Inside an Area

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

During the operation of certain structures, two questions arise: about the stress-strain state (SSS) at a point and in its neighborhood on the surface of the object under study and in its bulk, and about the remaining material strength in the considered area. The values of stresses and strains not at a point, but in a neighborhood, make it possible to use the results of the proposed research to test existing numerical and analytical calculation schemes, to find the direction of growth or decrease of the quantities under consideration, and to predict catastrophic events. It is proposed to assess the state of the material using classical formulations and methods of solid mechanics, which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the solution and continuous dependence on the input data. To determine the SSS of the material in the neighborhood of the point, we start with the full unload of the latter in order to determine the unloading displacements at the boundary. The SSS within the area, including stresses at the boundary, is found from the known boundary displacements. When studying the SSS inside the body, it is proposed to install elongated reference elements with their ends reaching the surface. To measure unloading displacements, the existing optical, mechanical, and tensometric systems are used. The uniqueness of the proposed approach is in considering not only radial displacements, but also tangential ones. The aim of the work is experimental and analytical determination of the SSS at any point of the structure and at any time of its non-stop operation.
