Long-term immersion was adopted to explore the damage deterioration and mechanical properties of granite under different chemical solutions. Here, granite was selected as the candidate of parent rocks for nuclear waste storage. The physical and mechanical properties of variation regularity immersed in various chemical solutions were analyzed. Meanwhile, the damage variable based on the variation in porosity was used in the quantitative analysis of chemical damage deterioration degree. Experimental results show that granite has a significant weakening tendency after chemical corrosion. The fracture toughness, splitting tensile strength, and compressive strength all demonstrate the same deteriorating trend with chemical corrosion time. However, a difference exists in the deterioration degree of the mechanical parameters; that is, the deterioration degree of fracture toughnessis the greatest followed by those of splitting tensile strength and compressive strength, which are relatively smaller. Strong acid solutions may aggravate chemical damage deterioration in granite. By contrast, strong alkaline solutions have a certain inhibiting effect on chemical damage deterioration. The chemical solutions that feature various compositions may have different effects on chemical damage degree; that is,ions have a greater effect on the chemical damage in granite thanions.

Cracks will be introduced into mortar specimens and embedded copper sheets to simulate fractured concrete according to the designed 20 mm crack lengths and angles. By taking into consideration the actual environment of a hydro-fluctuation belt for a typical bank slope in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region of the Yangtze River, China, a dry–wet cycle testing program will be designed to study the mechanical properties of the fracture mortar specimens immersed in different sulfate solutions. The failure characteristics and modes of the fracture mortar specimens will be measured and analyzed. The tests results show that the strength initially decreased and then increased with an increasing crack angle from 0° to 90°, and this was the smallest for the specimens with a 45° angle. Deterioration occurred in the specimens subjected to dry–wet cycles in different sulfate solutions. The damage extent is expressed as the change in elasticity. A formula for damage evolution of the fracture specimens will be proposed and the relationship between the deformation properties and damage properties of the specimens will be developed for the combined action of dry–wet cycles and sulfate attack. Based on the proposed damage model, the damage evolution equation and elastic damage constitutive model will be derived under the combined action of dry–wet cycles and sulfate attack, and this damage constitutive relation could be used to the study damage evolution for the fracture mortar specimens under the combined effects of dry–wet cycles and sulfate attack.
Aiming at the problem of the brittle fracture of pressure pipeline, the elastic constraint structure is described by using members and engineering building structures, and the concept of elastic constraint is proposed. Through the stress field analysis of the pressure pipeline under internal pressure, it is found that the pressure pipeline under internal pressure is an elastic constraint structure. The elastic constraint effect is applied to the pressure pipeline to explore the influence of elastic constraint effect on the brittle fracture of pressure pipeline. The critical wall thickness and limit load of different materials are calculated by the limit bearing formula. Through simulation analysis of materials with different yield ratios and pipelines with different wall thicknesses of the same material (yield ratio is the ratio of yield strength to tensile strength), it was found that pressure pipelines made of the same material have an increased load-bearing capacity as the wall thickness increases, but their own elastic constraint effects are becoming more obvious, and the probability of the brittle fracture of the pipeline is higher. When the wall thickness of pressure pipelines made of materials with different yield ratios is certain, the lower the yield ratio is, the more likely the pipeline is to generate plastic deformation and the larger the deformation capacity is; the higher the yield ratio, the poorer the plastic deformation capacity of the pipeline and the smaller the deformation capacity. Pipelines with large yield ratio are more sensitive to the brittle fracture than those with small yield ratio.
During the winding process of a coil winding machine, excessive tension can cause wire deformation, over-stretching, or breakage, while insufficient tension may lead to slackness, accumulation, and wrinkling. The magnitude of winding tension directly affects product quality and operational performance. This paper addresses the challenges of inadequate constant-tension control accuracy and excessive fluctuations in the unwind system of winding machines under disturbances. By integrating specific operational scenarios, a fuzzy PID control strategy suitable for actual production environments is designed. Based on an established coupling model relating unwind tension to roll diameter, unwind speed, and moment of inertia, conventional PID and fuzzy PID control simulation models are developed in the MATLAB/Simulink platform. These models evaluate both control strategies under noise disturbances and abrupt tension changes. A systematic comparative analysis examines the dynamic response characteristics, steady-state accuracy, and anti-interference capabilities. Results demonstrate that the fuzzy PID control, integrated with actual winding machine conditions, effectively suppresses tension fluctuations induced by nonlinear disturbances, reducing adjustment time by 3 s compared to conventional PID control. This indicates that the production-condition-integrated fuzzy PID control exhibits smaller overshoot, enhanced robustness, and superior dynamic response and better meets precision requirements for wire winding tension control.
