Damage precursors during hydraulic fracturing in shale gas reservoirs may be better understood if the deformation, failure, and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics under cyclic loading are known. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the quantitative damage based on the Felicity effect under constant stress lower limit uniaxial cyclic loading-unloading rates (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 kN/s). Variations in the b-value and the spatiotemporal evolution of cumulative AE were also used to observe how shale fractures formed. The findings reveal that during the unloading stage, there are many cumulative AE events when the stress level is low (≤1.50 kN/s) but that this number drops significantly when the stress level increases above (>2.0 kN/s). The AE amplitude, AE counts, and cumulative AE energy of each cycle in a loading-unloading test show an increasing trend, but the rate increases in the last cycle. During the whole process of loading and unloading, the Kaiser effects were present in the 3rd cycle at stress levels (≤1.5 kN/s). Still, the Felicity effect appeared in the 2nd and 1st cycles during 2.0 and 2.5 kN/s cyclic loading. The Kaiser effect occurs in the linear elastic stage, while the Felicity effect occurs in the crack initiation and crack damage stage. Furthermore, the Felicity ratio (FR) variations during shale deformation and failure can be divided into four phases: (Phase I = 1.01 ≥ FR > 0.89), (Phase II = 0.89 ≥ FR > 0.48), (Phase III = 0.48 ≥ FR > 0.23), and (Phase IV = FR ≤ 0.23). The b-value is relatively higher under the loading rate below (≤1.50 kN/s), indicating an increase in the number of small AE events. In contrast, the fact that the b-value is relatively smaller under the loading rate above (>2.0 kN/s) indicates that, the number of large AE events increases the number of cracks and fractures. These findings provide important design references for damaged precursors during hydraulic fracturing in shale gas reservoirs.

The research on the concrete structure built with self-healing materials brings inspiration to increase the safety and sustainability of underground structures in the whole life cycle. The utilization of microencapsulated healing agents in self-healing concrete has demonstrated efficacy in the repair of microcracks within concrete structures. Nevertheless, there exists a dearth of effective methodologies for assessing the impact of microcapsule parameters on the mechanical properties of self-healing concrete. This study introduces an innovative three-dimensional micromechanical model that can be utilized to analyze the micromechanical response of microencapsulated self-healing concrete under tensile loading conditions. The 3D micromechanical model is accomplished through the utilization of the elastic secant compliance tensor. Subsequently, a comprehensive examination is undertaken to analyze the progression of damage-healing in self-healing concrete incorporating microcapsules. Finally, a parametric investigation is conducted to elucidate the impact of the micro-parameters on the mechanical behavior of self-healing concrete. The present discovery holds significant implications for the development of microencapsulated self-healing concrete for underground structures, particularly in terms of establishing appropriate parameters.

This study aims to establish a strain instanton equation and damage factor evolution law for gypsum specimens by considering damping. First, damping energy is calculated based on the single-degree-of-freedom vibration model, and the instantaneous strain equation is obtained based on the stress balance equation. Second, the dissipation energy is divided into damping and damage energies, and a damage-factor correction algorithm is obtained. Third, cyclic loading and unloading tests were performed at different loading rates and stress amplitudes to verify the accuracy of the strain equation. Finally, the specimens’ magnitude curves and crack characteristics were monitored using moment–tensor acoustic emission simulations. The factors influencing the damping energy and strain equations, energy and damage evolution laws of the specimens, and damage patterns of the specimens at different loading rates were analysed. The results show that the instantaneous strain equation and the modified damage factor considering the damping effect can effectively reflect the deformation law and damage state of the specimens. In contrast, the damage to the specimens in the lower limit of the variable stress experiment was lower than that in the lower limit of the constant stress experiment. As the loading rate increases, the damage energy density of the specimen decreases, and the damage factor within a single cycle gradually decreases. As the loading rate increases, the number of crack events in the model increases significantly, size becomes more uniform, and sequentially exhibits dense and sparse distribution patterns, percentage of shear cracks decreases significantly, number of mixed cracks increases significantly, brittle behaviour of the specimen becomes obvious, and a complete damage state is attained known as the ‘crushed’ state. This study provides a theoretical reference for damage assessments of viscoelastic–plastic materials subjected to perturbing loads.

The Manson-Halford (M-H) nonlinear cumulative damage model is widely applied for fatigue life analysis problems under multi-level loading. In this model, the influence of loading sequence on the fatigue life can be better considerer, but the loading interaction effect is ignored. An improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) by integrating multiple strategies is proposed. The ability of global search and local exploitation is balanced and improved through nonlinear convergence factor, adaptive weighting factors and the Cauchy reverse learning strategies. In order to fully account for loading interaction effect, loading weighting factors are introduced to modify the M-H model, and the parameters are optimized through the global search properties of IWOA. The model is evaluated on multi-level loading fatigue experimental data from five metal materials and two aluminum alloy welded joints. The results suggest that the proposed IWOA has better optimization accuracy compared to the standard whale optimization algorithm (WOA). The proposed modified M-H model has better prediction performance compared to the four traditional cumulative damage models, which can be effectively applied to multi-level loading fatigue life analysis problems under actual working conditions. The proposed model is useful for the study of fatigue life evaluation methods.

Open graded friction course (OGFC) is highly susceptible to environmental impacts such as load and clogging, due to its rich void structure and exposure to environments. Especially in cold regions, freeze–thaw (F-T) damage is inevitable for OGFC. While the existing analysis methods cannot specifically describe the material's micro-response to load or environment. Therefore, the digital image correlation (DIC) in combination with computed tomography (CT) was applied to closely examine the intricate process of F-T damage of OGFC in this research. Principal strain and strain energy were used to describe the F-T damage process and distribution. In addition, the effects of initial void content and immersion conditions on the temporal and spatial distribution of damage were discussed. The data demonstrated that the spatial distribution of F-T damage strain was uneven. During F-T cycles, the principal strain inside the OGFC during F-T cycles was generally increased, and the deformation of the sample gradually accumulated. According to the strain energy growth rate variation, the F-T damage could be divided into two stages during the 18 F-T cycles, namely, the development stage and the deceleration stage. Moreover, the crucial parts of F-T damage were determined to be at the end of the voids connected with the outside or the void interface between the aggregates and asphalt mortar. The larger initial void content would increase the strain of OGFC during F-T cycles, as well as the inhomogeneity of the strain. Furthermore, the strain energy increased considerably, and the development of F-T damage of OGFC accelerated. Under partial immersion conditions, the immersed part has large strain and strain energy due to the direct effect of F-T, and the increase in immersion depth aggravates the F-T damage.

The problem of the minimum reinforcement condition in fibre-reinforced and hybrid-reinforced concrete flexural elements is addressed in the framework of fracture mechanics by means of the Updated Bridged Crack Model (UBCM). The model describes the crack propagation process occurring in the critical cross-section of the reinforced member, by assuming the composite as a multiphase material, whereby the toughening contribution of the cementitious matrix and of the reinforcements are independently evaluated. The key-point of the discussion is that, when the influence of the matrix nonlinearities on the response is neglected, the minimum reinforcement condition is defined by a linear relationship between the critical values of two dimensionless numbers: (i) the bar- reinforcement brittleness number, NP , proportional to the steel-bar area percentage, ρ; (ii) the fibre- reinforcement brittleness number, NP,f, proportional to the fibre volume fraction, Vf. The model is applied to several experimental campaigns of the literature, in order to assess its suitability in the minimum reinforcement design of reinforced members in a unified fracture mechanics-based framework.

A numerical model utilizing 3D mesoscale simulation methods was developed to investigate the influence of strain rate on the torsional performance of geometrically similar Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer bars-reinforced concrete (BFRP-RC) beams, as well as the corresponding size effects. The model incorporates concrete heterogeneity, material strain rate effects, and the dynamic bond-slip relationship between BFRP bars and concrete. The torsional performance of BFRP-RC beams with different structural sizes and stirrup ratios was analyzed under different strain rates. The study yielded the following findings: (1) The damage degree of BFRP-RC beams increases with the rising strain rate. (2) Increasing strain rate and stirrup ratio enhances the beams’ torsional strength and ductility while attenuating the size effect, albeit not eliminating it. (3) The impact of increasing strain rate on beam strength, ductility, and size effect outweighs that of increasing stirrup ratio. Finally, based on the Bažant size effect law (SEL) combined with the simulation results, a new size effect law was proposed that can quantitatively consider the effect of strain rate and stirrup ratio on the torsional strength of BFRP-RC beams.

In this study, the connection between total strain energy density and fracture surface topography is investigated in additively manufactured maraging steel exposed to low-cycle fatigue loading. The specimens were fabricated using laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) and examined under fully-reversed strain-controlled setup at strain amplitudes scale from 0.3% to 1.0%. The post-mortem fracture surfaces were explored using a non-contact 3D surface topography measuring system and the entire fracture surface method. The focus is on the relationship between fatigue characteristics, expressed by the total strain energy density, and the fracture surface topography features, represented by areal, volume, and fractal dimension factors. A fatigue life prediction model based on total strain energy density and fracture surface topography parameters is proposed. The presented model shows good accordance with fatigue test results and outperforms other existing models based on the strain energy density. This model can be useful for post-failure analysis of engineering elements under low-cycle fatigue, especially for materials produced by additive manufacturing (AM).

This article presents a classification of Acoustic Emission (AE) signals from AlSi10Mg specimens produced via Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Tensile tests characterized the mechanical properties of specimens printed in different orientations (X, Y, Z, 45°). Initially, a study quantified damage modes based on the stress-strain curve and cumulative AE energy. AE signals for each specimen (X, Y, 45°, Z), across deformation stages (elastic and plastic), and damage modes were analyzed using continuous wavelet transform to extract time-frequency features. A novel convolutional neural network, based on artificial bee colonies and fuzzy C-means, was developed for scalogram classification. Data augmentation with Gaussian white noise enhanced the approach. Cross-validation ensured robustness against overfitting and suboptimal local maxima. Evaluation metrics, including the confusion matrix, precision-recall curve, and F1 score, demonstrated the algorithm's high accuracy of 92.6%, precision-recall curve of 92.5%, and F1 score of 92.5% for AE signals based on printing direction (X, Y, 45°, Z). The study highlighted the potential for improving AE signal classification related to elastic and plastic deformation stages with 100% accuracy. For damage modes, the algorithm achieved a confusion matrix accuracy of 90.6%, a precision-recall curve of 90.4%, and an F1 score of 90.5%. This approach demonstrates high accuracy in classifying AE signals across different printing orientations, deformation stages, and damage modes of AlSi10Mg specimens manufactured through SLM.

AE signals for each specimen (X, Y, 45°, Z), across deformation stages (elastic and plastic), and damage modes were analyzed using continuous wavelet transform to extract time-frequency features.

Bone is a complex hierarchical structural material whose organ-level response is highly influenced by its constitutive behavior at the microstructural level, which can dictate the inelastic nonlinear deformation and fracture within the organ. In the current study, a combined experimental-computational approach was sought to first obtain the local constitutive properties. Later, a multiscale modeling framework utilizing a novel rate-dependent nonlinear viscoelastic cohesive zone (NVCZ) model was used to explore the fracture behavior at the microstructure of the bone and its influence on the global scale (organ-level) response. Toward this end, nanoindentation testing was conducted within the cross-section of a rat femur bone specimen. An inverse optimization process was used to identify the isotropic linear viscoelastic (LVE) properties of cortical bone by integrating the test results with a finite element model simulation of the nanoindentation testing. Model results using different numbers of spring-dashpot units in the generalized Maxwell model showed that four spring-dashpot units are sufficient to capture the LVE behavior, while solely LVE constitutive relation is limited to fully characterize the rat femur. The LVE constitutive properties were then used along with the rate-dependent NVCZ fracture within the representative volume element (RVE), which was two-way coupled to the global scale bone. A parametric study was conducted by varying the fracture properties of the NVCZ model. The model demonstrated the capability and features to represent inelastic deformation and nonlinear fracture that are linked between length scales. This further implies that the inelastic fracture model and the two-way coupled modeling can elucidate the complex multiscale deformation and fracture of bone, while model validation and further advancements with test results remain a follow-up study and are currently in progress.
