Abstract
Rock is a typical brittle material, and the evaluation of its brittleness index has important guiding significance for hard rock resource exploitation, unconventional oil and gas resource exploitation, mechanical driving efficiency, rock burst prediction, and dynamic disaster prevention and control. At present, brittleness index often measures the brittleness of rock under static load; thus, whether it is applicable to dynamic load is worth exploring. In this study, static and dynamic uniaxial compression tests and Brazilian splitting tests were carried out on five kinds of rocks, including fine granite, coarse granite, shale, marble, and sandstone, using the INSTRON−1346 test system and split−Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), respectively. The brittleness index values of different rocks under static and dynamic load were determined, and the changes in the brittleness of rocks under different loading methods and different strain rates were studied. The definition of brittleness and the applicability of existing brittleness indices were also discussed. It was found that the loading rate amplified the variation of the brittleness characteristics of rock. When static load changes to dynamic load, the brittleness of rocks increases, and the brittleness relationship between different rocks remains unchanged. The more brittle the rock is under static load, the greater the range of brittleness enhancement is under dynamic load. It was also found that the brittleness of sandstone had an obvious effect on the strain rate. The brittleness of rock increases with the increase in strain rate, and the greater the strain rate, the greater the brittleness enhancement degree. These research results can provide reference values for dynamic disaster prevention and safe construction of deep rock projects such as mines and tunnels.
