高温花岗岩热冲击后力学特性及损伤演化规律研究

Mechanical properties and damage evolution of granite under high temperature thermal shock

  • 摘要: 在干热型地热资源开发过程中,高温岩石面临遇水冷却引起的热冲击损伤问题。为了研究高温花岗岩在热冲击作用后的力学特性和损伤演化规律,开展了25~600 ℃范围内不同温度热冲击作用下花岗岩试件的单轴压缩试验,获得了热冲击花岗岩试件的应力−应变关系;提出了一种考虑初始热冲击损伤与加载期间试件微元破裂损伤相结合的热−力耦合损伤本构模型,并对统计损伤本构模型的相关参数进行了理论求解;考虑热冲击损伤引起的孔隙结构劣化效应,引入压密系数对热冲击花岗岩的本构关系进行了修正;通过试验应力−应变曲线对模型的有效性进行了对比和验证,讨论了温度水平对热冲击花岗岩单轴压缩损伤演化规律的影响。研究结果表明,随着热冲击温度的升高,花岗岩试件的初始热损伤不断增大,应力−应变曲线具有明显的非线性压密阶段;引入压密系数修正的统计损伤本构模型能够更加准确地表征热冲击花岗岩在初始加载阶段的非线性压密特征;在热冲击温度较低时,损伤变量演化曲线上升较为陡峭,随着热冲击温度的升高,曲线上升速率逐渐变缓并由非线性向线性转变。

     

    Abstract: Hot dry rock (HDR) is an underground rock with high temperatures (usually above 180 °C), low porosity, and low permeability. The extraction of geothermal energy from HDR generally requires the stimulation of man-made reservoirs. In the enhanced geothermal system (EGS) project, high-pressure water is usually injected into the deep HDR reservoir from the injection well, and the artificial fracture network is stimulated via fracking. The ultimate goal is to enhance fluid flow and heat exchange between injection and production wells. During this period, thermal shock induced by the injected cold water, also known as thermal stimulation, leads to thermal fracture of the HDR, which contributes to the formation of fractures near the injection well. However, this process results in a series of rock damage problems to the high-temperature rock mass, such as borehole collapse and microseismicity. To analyze the mechanical properties and damage evolution of high-temperature granite after thermal shock, the uniaxial compression test of granite specimens at different temperatures in the range of 25 °C–600 ℃ was conducted, and the stress–strain relationship of the specimens was obtained. Based on the theory of damage mechanics, a thermal–mechanical coupled damage constitutive model considering the combination of the initial thermal shock damage and the microelement fracture damage during loading was proposed, and the relevant parameters of the statistical damage constitutive model were theoretically solved. Furthermore, given the effect of pore structure deterioration caused by thermal shock, the constitutive relationship of thermal shock granite was modified by introducing a compaction coefficient. The statistical damage constitutive model was also verified by the experimental results. The influence of temperature on the damage evolution of thermal shock granite under uniaxial compression was discussed. Results showed that with the increase in thermal shock temperature, the initial thermal damage of the granite specimen increases continuously, resulting in a nonlinear compaction stage in the stress–strain curve. The statistical damage constitutive model modified by the compaction coefficient can accurately characterize the nonlinear compaction characteristics of thermal shock granite specimens in the initial loading stage. When the thermal shock temperature is low, the damage variable evolution curve rises steeply. However, with the increase in the thermal shock temperature, the increase rate of the curve gradually slows down and changes from nonlinear to linear. The research results not only help elucidate the deterioration process of the mechanical properties of thermal shock granite but also provide important theoretical guidance for the construction of accurate numerical calculation models and engineering scheme demonstrations.
