Abnormal iris mechanical properties have been considered to be an important cause of pupillary-block and angle-closure glaucoma. In this research, viscoelasticity, anisotropy and location-dependence of mechanical properties of rabbit iris were investigated using uniaxial tensile test. Methods: Iris strips were taken along three directions: inner-circumferential direction (ICD), outer-circumferential direction (OCD) and radial direction (RD), respectively. Quasi-static tensile tests and stress–relaxation tests were applied on the iris strips. Then, the stress–stretch data was fitted with third order Ogden model; the stress–relaxation data was fitted with the third order Prony series model. Through comparing the tangent modulus and relaxation limit of the strips from different directions and locations, the viscoelasticity, anisotropy and location-dependence of mechanical properties of rabbit iris were explored. Results: The tangent moduli of iris at the stretch of 1.05 along ICD, OCD, and RD were 3.2 ± 1.4 kPa, 4.2 ± 2.6 kPa, 1.5 ± 0.8 kPa, respectively. Iris strips in ICD and OCD were found to have almost the same stress–relaxation behavior, and both relaxed slower than iris strips in RD. Conclusions: The mechanical properties of the iris were typically nonlinear, viscoelastic, anisotropic and location-dependent. The stress growth rate of the circumferential direction iris strip is significantly lower than that of RD and the stress–relaxation rate is significantly higher than that of the RD. That is, the iris is more prone to deformation in RD and the stress–retention ability after deformation in RD is weak, which is consistent with the fact that the iris bombe more likely happens in RD in vivo. The results of this study may also help us to establish a more accurate finite element model to simulate the flow field of humor aqueous and find the key factor of pupillary-block.

Coal measure strata are composed of many kinds of rock layers with different properties, and the energy accumulation ability of each rock layer is different, which causes the uneven distribution of energy. In order to explore the accumulation layer of rock burst energy in coal–rock system, based on the structural characteristics and mechanical properties of coal and rock, the mechanical model of coal–rock combined body was constructed, and the calculation formula of energy distribution of coal–rock combined body was deduced. The axial compression tests of coal–rock combined body under five confining pressures (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MPa) were designed and carried out. The results show that: 1) Under five confining pressures, the average compressive strength of the specimens was 18.74 MPa, 20.75 MPa, 24.68 MPa, 28.02 MPa and 32.05 MPa, respectively. With the increase in confining pressure, the compressive strength also increased linearly; 2) Under the five confining pressures, the pre-peak accumulated energy of the specimens was 0.106 kJ, 0.244 kJ, 0.591 kJ, 0.758 kJ and 1.602 kJ. With the continuous increase in the confining pressure, the pre-peak accumulated energy increased exponentially; 3) With the increase in confining pressure, the coal component accumulation energy increased exponentially, followed by 0.069 kJ, 0.182 kJ, 0.440 kJ, 0.630 kJ and 1.419 kJ, and the proportion of coal component accumulation energy was 65.14%, 71.63%, 76.72%, 82.89% and 87.07%, respectively, which were all greater than 50%. Combined bodies accumulated more energy under loading conditions, most of which were accumulated on coal components, and coal components were the main carriers of energy accumulation, which played a leading role in the destruction of combined bodies; 4) The energy distribution test method was discussed and analyzed. The energy distribution test method of coal–rock combined body based on single specimen method could effectively avoid the influence of size effect and coal–rock individual difference on energy accumulation. At the same time, the test time was shortened, the test workload was reduced, and the calculation accuracy was improved; 5) The rationality and reliability of the two methods for direct and indirect determination of coal–rock component energy were demonstrated. The error rates of the two methods were 2.936%, 1.846%, 3.125%, 3.412% and 0.862%, which were less than 5%. The error had little effect on the test results. The research results have reference significance for exploring the key strata of rock burst energy accumulation and the precise prevention and control of rock burst.

In water-rich mines, water conservancy, and hydropower projects, the rock mass is immersed in water for a long time, which leads to changes in its mechanical properties and affects the safety and stability of the engineering rock mass. Based on the long-term immersion of rock mass with intermittent joints by water, uniaxial compression tests were carried out on prefabricated intermittent jointed sandstone with five inclinations (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) and three connectivity ratios (0.25, 0.50, 0.75) under different immersion times to study sandstone with intermittent joints’ mechanical response and deterioration mechanism. The research shows that: (1) With the increase of the joint inclination, the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the sandstone with intermittent joints first decreased and then increased, showing a U-shaped distribution. The compressive strength and elasticity of the sample with an inclination of 60° reach the minimum value; at the initial stage of immersion, the deterioration effect of the sample is more significant, and the deterioration effect decreases gradually with the increase in immersion time; in the initial stage of water immersion, the deterioration effect of the sample is more significant, and with the increase of the immersion time, the deterioration effect gradually weakens. (2) Immersion time and joint inclination have a great influence on the included angle, number, and mode of failure cracks. With the increase in immersion time, the plastic characteristics of the sample increase obviously, showing the characteristics of loose and weak; with the increase in joint inclination, the failure mode of the sample gradually changes from tension failure to tension shear failure, and tension failure. The influence degree of joints on failure is weak-induction-control-induction. (3) Under the water–rock action, the cement between mineral particles of the sample is gradually dissolved, the cementation of mineral particles is weakened, and the mineral particles develop into layered and fake structure, which gradually evolves from dense structure to porous loose structure. (4) The deterioration mechanism of the mechanical properties of the sandstone with intermittent joints under the water–rock action was analyzed from the perspectives of physics, chemistry, and mechanics. The deterioration of the mechanical properties of the sample is a process of gradual accumulation of damage.
