摘要: 探求土体宏观力学性质背后的微细观机理,需要观测土体的微细观力学行为,为此基于常规三轴仪研制了适用于工业CT(computerized tomography)系统扫描的微型三轴仪,该设备包含加载装置和采集控制系统两部分,主要特点是体积小,重量轻,能够放入CT设备中进行旋转扫描,试样扫描清晰,能够获取土体三轴应力状态下土体的微观结构和力学信息,试验数据可靠,兼容性强,不影响现有CT的功能且无需改装CT,操作方便,经济合理。利用丰浦砂干砂样与常规三轴仪进行对比试验,微型三轴仪得到的应力应变关系与常规三轴试验基本一致,得到的内摩擦角误差较小,验证了该微型三轴仪的可靠性。Abstract: In order to explore the microscopic mechanisms associated with the macroscopic mechanical properties of soil, it is necessary to investigate the microscopic mechanical behaviors of soil. Based on the conventional triaxial apparatus, a miniature triaxial apparatus suitable for industrial CT system scanning is developed, which includes loading device and acquisition control system. The main features are as follows. The loading device can be put into CT equipment for rotary scanning because of small size and light weight. The specimen can be scanned clearly to obtain the microstructure and mechanical information of soil under triaxial stress. The reliable test data can be obtained. The miniature triaxial apparatus has strong compatibility, which does not affect the function of CT and does not also refit CT. It also has the advantage of convenient operation and low price. The contrast tests for the dry Toyoura sand samples are carried out by the miniature triaxial apparatus and conventional triaxial apparatus. The results show the stress-strain relationship and angle of internal friction obtained from miniature triaxial apparatus are in agreement with that obtained from the conventional triaxial apparatus. There is little difference on angles of internal friction obtained by two apparatus. Thus the reliability of the miniature triaxial apparatus is verified.
