摘要:
为了研究循环冲击作用下砂岩型铀矿裂缝及渗透率特征,基于SHPB实验、CT扫描及三维重构、渗透率测试及数值模拟等技术,研究了不同冲击次数试样动态力学性能、孔裂缝参数演化、微观渗流特征响应等,结果表明:循环冲击使得试样产生累积损伤,降低了其动态力学性能,随着冲击次数的增加,试样内能量循环蓄积-释放,导致裂缝“扩展-压实-再扩展-再压实”;循环冲击过程中,试样内部小而孤立的裂缝逐步形成大且相互贯通的裂缝,而中裂缝同时存在错断、连通的双重效应,呈现非线性变化特征;循环冲击作用使得试样内产生更多复杂裂缝,导致流体渗流通道更多、渗流规模更大,但裂缝壁面的粗糙性和较多的喉道也对流体渗流起到一定的抑制作用。受制于冲击后矿物碎屑堵塞、围压、三维重构精度等影响,数值模拟渗透率要大于实测渗透率,但数值模拟更能反映循环冲击后试样裂缝微观渗流过程,有助于研究爆破后砂岩型铀矿裂缝非均匀渗流行为。
Abstract:
To study the fracture and permeability characteristics of sandstone-type uranium ore under cyclic impact, the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiments, CT scanning, 3D reconstruction, permeability testing, and numerical simulations were first conducted, then the dynamic mechanical properties of specimens subjected to different numbers of impacts, pore-fracture parameter evolution, and microscopic seepage characteristics were analyzed. Results show that cyclic impacts cause cumulative damage in the specimens, reducing their dynamic mechanical properties. As the number of impacts increases, energy in the specimens accumulates and releases cyclically. This cyclic accumulation and release of energy lead to a process of crack "expansion, compaction, re-expansion, re-compaction". During the cyclic impact process, small and isolated cracks inside the specimen gradually develop into larger, interconnected fractures. Simultaneously, medium-sized cracks exhibit both faulting and connectivity effects, presenting nonlinear change characteristics. Cyclic impacts induce more damage in the specimens and cause the evolution of crack parameters related to microscopic seepage characteristics. These impacts generate more complex fractures, which create additional pathways for fluid seepage and increase the overall scale of seepage. However, the roughness of the fracture walls and the presence of more throats partially inhibit fluid flow. The simulated permeability is higher than the measured permeability due to factors such as the blockage of mineral debris after impact, confining pressure, and the accuracy of 3D reconstruction. However, the numerical simulation better reflects the microscopic seepage process in the cracks of the specimen after cyclic impact, which is helpful for the study of the non-uniform seepage behaviour of cracks in the sandstone-type uranium mines after blasting.
