摘要:
揭示高压电脉冲载荷作用下岩体裂缝萌生与扩展内在机制,厘清冲击波驱动下岩体损伤与裂缝演化时序关系,明确放电回路关键参数对破岩效果的影响规律,为高压电脉冲破岩设备参数优化提供理论支撑。基于断裂力学与损伤力学理论,融合 RLC 放电电路与 Weizel-Rompe 等离子体电弧阻抗模型,建立考虑拉伸−压缩应变分解的相场断裂耦合数值模型,开展高压电脉冲破岩数值仿真;采用相场变量实现裂缝增长长度与岩体损伤面积的定量统计,分析冲击波、放电电压、电容、电感及等离子体通道长度对岩体破裂行为的影响。岩体损伤演化与冲击波强度及其上升速率密切相关,损伤不等同于裂缝扩展,损伤萌生先于宏观裂缝起裂,是裂缝形成的前置过程;冲击波强度越高、上升速率越快,裂缝扩展速率越快,岩体损伤程度加剧、损伤范围扩大;破岩效果随放电电压、储能电容增大而提升,随等离子体通道长度增大而减弱;回路电感小幅变化对破岩效果影响有限,但电感显著增大会抑制瞬时能量释放,削弱岩体破碎效果;电脉冲作用点位移波形与冲击波压力波形形态相近,受岩体材料变形及内部能量耗散效应影响,位移响应相对冲击波压力存在明显滞后效应。所建立的耦合模型可实现高压电脉冲下岩体裂缝与损伤的定量表征,研究结果可为电脉冲破岩设备的工程参数选型与调试提供理论参考。
Abstract:ObjectiveRock fragmentation is a critical process in mining engineering, tunnel excavation, coalbed-gas exploitation and ultra-deep well construction. Conventional mechanical rock-breaking techniques suffer from severe bit abrasion, high construction cost, and low operational efficiency when applied to high-strength rock under complex geological conditions. As an emerging high-efficiency fragmentation technology, high-voltage electrical pulse (HVEP) rock breaking can induce rock failure via instantaneous energy release. Nevertheless, a comprehensive quantitative evaluation framework for fracture initiation and rock mass damage evolution induced by HVEP has not been well established. This study aims to reveal the intrinsic mechanism of fracture initiation and propagation in rock mass subjected to HVEP loads, clarify the temporal relationship between rock mass damage and fracture evolution driven by shock waves, and identify the effects of key discharge circuit parameters on rock-breaking performance.
MethodsBased on fracture mechanics and damage mechanics theories, a coupled phase-field fracture numerical model was constructed by integrating the RLC discharge circuit and the Weizel-Rompe plasma-arc impedance model. A tensile-compressive strain decomposition algorithm was adopted to distinguish tension-dominated fracture from pure compressive elastic deformation. Numerical simulations were carried out under typical working conditions: Discharge voltage 9-13 kV, capacitance 2-5 μF, circuit inductance 5 μH-5 mH, and plasma-channel length 0.03-0.06 m. The phase-field variable was employed to quantitatively calculate initial fracture propagation length and damage area of the rock mass. The effects of shock wave characteristics, discharge voltage, capacitance, circuit inductance, and plasma-channel length on rock mass fracture behaviors were systematically analyzed.
ResultsThe simulation results demonstrated that rock mass damage evolution was strongly correlated with shock wave intensity and its rising rate. Damage did not equal fracture propagation, and damage initiation preceded macro-fracture initiation and served as a precursor of fracture formation. Higher shock wave intensity and faster rising rate accelerated fracture propagation, increased the degree of rock mass damage, and expanded the damage extent. Rock-breaking performance improved with the increase of discharge voltage and energy storage capacitance, whereas it degraded as plasma-channel length increased. Minor variations in circuit inductance had little influence on rock-breaking performance, while a substantial increase in inductance suppressed instantaneous energy release and weakened rock fragmentation. The waveform of displacement at the HVEP action point was similar to that of shock wave pressure. Influenced by rock material deformation and internal energy dissipation, the displacement response exhibited an obvious hysteresis relative to shock wave pressure.
ConclusionThe proposed coupled model realizes quantitative characterization of fracture growth and rock mass damage under HVEP loading. The findings can offer theoretical references for parameter selection and commissioning of HVEP rock-breaking equipment in practical rock-engineering applications.
