Abstract

This paper investigates the fracture behavior of high-performance grouting materials in the grouted connection section of marine structures, where they are subjected to complex stress states. This study utilizes a combination of experimental and numerical simulation methods to establish a reliable numerical simulation technique for the fracture process of high-performance grouting materials. The mixed mode fracture behavior is analyzed using six different types of specimens, and the strain contour is analyzed using the Digital Image Correlation technique. An extended peridynamics model is proposed for the numerical simulation, which adopts a fracture criterion based on strain energy density. The accuracy of the model is verified qualitatively and quantitatively, and the simulation results are consistent with the experiments. Overall, this study provides insights into the fracture behavior of high-performance grouting materials in complex stress states and presents a reliable numerical simulation technique for the fracture process.

Highlights

Different fracture criteria were used to analyze the four points bending test results.
Digital Image Correlation technique was adopted to predict the crack initiation position and failure mode.
The failure mode, failure angle, and fracture toughness of material were discussed.
An extended peridynamics model is established for failure analysis of grouted material.
