The present work explores acoustic emission phenomenon of concrete like disordered material within the framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics. The aim of the study is threefold. At first, we re-derive the non-extensive distribution function using the power-function and exponential-function ansatzes. We assert that the power-function ansatz based distribution model, compared to exponential-function based model, is superior due to its ability to recover the exponential distribution in the limit when the tail index and due to its higher sensitivity for long-tail. The ability of recovering exponential distribution in the limit preserves the essence of Tsallis non-extensive statistical mechanics formulation and retains the pertinent meaning of entropic index q of the distribution. Second, we study the size effect on the various parameters of the distribution models and discover the size-independence of the entropic index. Thirdly, the self-organization phenomenon often observed in the complex dynamic systems is commented. The existence of criticality near failure for quasi-static loading of concrete beams appear speculative and the criticality might exist in midway of damage progress.

无序介质中声发射的非广泛统计力学:熵、尺寸效应和自组织
目前的工作在非广泛统计力学的框架内探索混凝土的声发射现象,如无序材料。研究的目的是三重的。首先,我们使用幂函数和指数函数 ansatzes 重新推导非广延分布函数。我们断言,与基于指数函数的模型相比,基于幂函数 ansatz 的分布模型是优越的,因为它能够在尾部索引的限制下恢复指数分布并且由于其对长尾的敏感性更高。极限恢复指数分布的能力保留了 Tsallis 非广延统计力学公式的本质,并保留了分布的熵指数q的相关含义。其次,我们研究了分布模型的各种参数的大小效应,并发现了熵指数的大小无关性。第三,评论了复杂动态系统中经常观察到的自组织现象。混凝土梁准静态加载接近破坏临界的存在似乎是推测性的,临界可能存在于损坏进展的中途。
