Calibration of cyclic constitutive models by oscillating functions

Most structures are subjected to more cyclic loads during their life time than static loads. These cyclic action could be a result of either natural or man-made activities and may lead to soil failure. In order to understand the response of the foundation and its interaction with these complex cyclic loadings, various researchers have over the years developed different constitutive models. Although a lot of research is being carried out on these relatively new models, little or no details exist in literature about the model-based identification of the cyclic constitutive parameters which to a large extent govern the quality of the model output. This could be attributed to the difficulties and complexities of the inverse modeling of such complex phenomena. A variety of optimisation strategies are available for the solution of the sum of least-squares problems as usually done in the field of model calibration. However, for the back analysis (calibration) of the soil response to oscillatory load functions, this article gives insight into the model calibration challenges and also puts forward a method for the inverse modeling of cyclic loaded foundation response such that high-quality solutions are obtained with minimum computational effort.

主应力轴循环旋转下高密实粉土稳定性影响研究

为研究主应力轴循环旋转对粉土性状影响,对长江入海口高密实饱和粉土进行了主应力轴180°转幅的循环旋转试验。试验发现,等向固结的高密实粉土在恒定动剪应力比的主应力轴循环旋转下能发生孔压达到初始围压水平的液化破坏,但液化前孔压开展会因动应力水平的不同而呈现以渐变相态点和激变相态点区分的3阶段变化形式,或仅以激变相态点区分的两阶段变化形式。试样应变开展则始终呈现由崩塌点区分的两阶段变化形式,且孔压激变相态点与应变崩塌点同步反映了土体结构崩塌状态,崩塌状态时主应变差双向幅值限制在0.2%～0.4%这一较小范围内。试样进行主应力轴旋转达到崩塌时的应力状态与频率无显著关系,可由 - 空间中一条准不稳定状态线归一化。而以崩塌状态为终点进行归一化的主应力轴循环旋转下孔压振次曲线,可用修正的Seed公式进行较好拟合     

利用循环强度分析张紧式吸力锚循环承载力的方法

按照在最佳系泊点受倾斜荷载作用的张紧式吸力锚的破坏机制,建议了利用软土不排水循环剪切强度计算软土中吸力锚循环承载力的极限平衡分析方法。该方法考虑了平均系泊荷载在土中引起的平均剪应力对土体循环剪切强度、进而对锚循环承载力的影响。为了说明该方法的可行性,进行了大量张紧式吸力锚在平均系泊荷载与循环荷载共同作用下的承载力模型试验。依据试验结果确定了锚被竖向拔出土层时系泊点的位移破坏标准,并据此确定了与不同模型试验条件对应的循环承载力。进而利用循环三轴试验确定的土层不排水循环强度随平均应力的变化关系和实测的土层剪切强度,通过极限平衡分析计算了与模型试验对应的循环承载力。计算与模型试验结果比较表明,对于张紧式吸力锚被竖向拔出土层的破坏模式,计算结果比模型试验结果偏大,平均偏大1.9%,绝大多数偏差在10%以内。因此,对于软土中的张紧式吸力锚,如果采用该方法计算与竖向拔出土层破坏模式相应的循环承载力时,将结果减小10%是恰当的。     

考虑循环软化的非线性动力本构模型在FLAC3D中的实现

已有震害研究表明,震后边坡会因持续变形而破坏,且伴随着土体强度逐渐降低的现象,即土的循环软化行为。因此,有必要研究考虑循环软化的非线性动力本构模型以用于复杂条件下地震边坡稳定性分析。在已有的非线性动力本构模型基础上,提出了考虑循环软化的处理方法。同时,在FLAC3D平台上实现了本构模型二次开发,并通过了理论公式与已有文献中试验数据的验证。结果表明：计算出的骨干曲线与理论公式一致,且计算出的动剪切模量比及阻尼比与试验数据吻合较好,能够克服Hardin-Drnevich模型和Davidenkov模型在较大应变处（>0.01%）过高地估算阻尼比的缺陷;考虑了循环软化后,计算出的剪切强度有明显降低,且当遇到骨干曲线剪应力可以连续地过渡到软化后的主干曲线上,模型的收敛性较好。所开发的本构模型可为大应变条件下软土场地及边坡地震灾害评估提供支持。

Implementation of DSC model and application for analysis of field pile tests under cyclic loading

The disturbed state concept (DSC) model, and a new and simplified procedure for unloading and reloading behavior are implemented in a nonlinear finite element procedure for dynamic analysis for coupled response of saturated porous materials. The DSC model is used to characterize the cyclic behavior of saturated clays and clay–steel interfaces. In the DSC, the relative intact (RI) behavior is characterized by using the hierarchical single surface (HISS) plasticity model; and the fully adjusted (FA) behavior is modeled by using the critical state concept. The DSC model is validated with respect to laboratory triaxial tests for clay and shear tests for clay‐steel interfaces. The computer procedure is used to predict field behavior of an instrumented pile subjected to cyclic loading. The predictions provide very good correlation with the field data. They also yield improved results compared to those from a HISS model with anisotropic hardening, partly because the DSC model allows for degradation or softening and interface response.

基于A- CGAN的深反射地震数据随机噪声压制方法研究

基于深度学习的地震数据噪声压制方法是当前地震数据去噪处理的重要方向。深度学习方法突破了传统滤波处理的局限,在对常规地震数据的噪声压制中表现出效率高、信噪分离效果好的特点。但针对深部弱有效反射数据,当前的深度学习方法特征提取能力有限,难以取得较好的去噪效果。笔者等结合深反射地震数据特点,针对当前深度学习噪声压制方法在特征提取及对数据集依赖上的局限,提出了基于注意力循环生成对抗网络(Attention Cycle- Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks,A- CGAN)的深反射地震数据随机噪声压制方法。借助循环一致生成对抗网络(Cycle- Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks,Cycle- GAN)的域映射思想,降低对数据集的要求。为了构建适用于深反射地震数据的去噪网络,从3个方面对Cycle- GAN进行改进：在Cycle- GAN的生成器（去噪器）中加入残差结构和注意力机制,用于加深网络深度和提高其特征提取能力;在Cycle- GAN的鉴别器中使用块判决,提高鉴别精度和准确度;在损失函数部分加入感知一致性损失函数,提升网络模型恢复纹理细节信息的能力。通过合成地震数据和实际深反射地震数据测试,验证了优化算法的有效性,体现了良好的应用价值。     

Steroid and triterpenoid distributions in bransfield strait sediments: Hydrothermally-enhanced diagenetic transformations

Recent sediments from Bransfield Strait, Antarctica have been analyzed for triterpenoid and steroid hydrocarbons, sterols and steroid ketones to consider the effects of hydrothermal fluids on the sedimentary organic matter. The steroid distributions in unaltered and altered sediments are controlled more by inputs from source organisms than by the effects of hydrothermal activity, which is suggested to be limited to low temperature alteration. Nevertheless, chemical reactions occurred in altered sediments and include dehydration of sterols to sterenes, isomerization of triterpenes and sterenes, rearrangement of sterenes to diasterenes and reductive processes leading to generation of phytane from phytol via phytenes.
