Structural Hierarchy and Dynamic Size Effect of Rock Strength
The mechanism of dynamic size effect of strength of rock is studied from the viewpoint ofstructural hierarchy.Relaxation model of Maxwell type for rock is used to obtain the relationship betweenstrength,sample size and strain rate.It is shown that because of the finiteness of crack propagation velocity,when the strain rate is well above certain characteristic strain rate,dynamic loading process takespredominant role,the stresses in sample have not enough time to relax,the larger the sample size is,themore time is needed for cracks in sample to go through the sample,the ultimate applied stresses beforemacrofracture are greater and the strength is higher.From other hand because of the size effect the higherdynamically applied stresses will activate the cracking at smaller scale levels of rock sample,and thefragment size is smaller.Based on the presented model the characteristic strain rate separating thepredominant diapasons for static and dynamic size effect is determined,and the fragment size is predictedsatisfactorily.
