Numerical 3D modeling of the effects of strain rate and confining pressure on the compressive behavior of Kuru granite

This paper deals with numerical modeling of the compressive behavior of granite rock under high strain rate dynamic loading and wide range of confining pressure. For this end, a constitutive model based on damage mechanics and viscoplasticity for rock is formulated and implemented in explicit dynamics FEM. The viscoplastic part is based on a simple power law type yield criterion that incorporates the rate-dependency with a linear viscosity term. Moreover, a Rankine type of tensile cut-off is employed. The damage part of the model is formulated with separate scalar damage variables in tension and compression. The model is calibrated for Kuru granite and validated with the experimental data from dynamic compression tests at the strain rate of 600 1/s up to 225 MPa of confining pressure. The numerical simulations demonstrate that, despite the underlying continuum modeling approach, the model captures the correct experimental failure modes, including the transition from single-to-multiple fragmentation, as well as the dynamic compressive strengths at different confining pressures.     

地震电信号选择性数值模拟及可能影响因素

本文探讨了将商业有限元软件COMSOL Multiphysics应用于地震电信号选择性三维数值模拟方面可能面临的一些问题.在检验算法可靠性的同时,通过选取不同类型的边界条件、不同大小的计算区域、不同的介质电性参数以及地表介质电性非均匀性和地下特定导电通道等不同电性结构模型等,考察了影响地震电信号选择性数值模拟结果的一些可能因素.结果表明,在开展地震电信号选择性数值模拟研究时需对模型参数的选取进行必要的分析,而地表介质电性非均匀性以及地下特定导电通道等可以较好地解释地震电信号选择性现象,其贡献的大小与模型具体的电性结构和对比度等参数有关.

2009年5月16日兰州市九州石峡口小区西侧山体发生滑坡灾害,造成重大生命和财产损失。本文对石峡口滑坡的特征和成因进行了系统研究,认为滑坡区高陡的地形、不合理的绿化灌溉和不良的岩土体工程地质性质是诱发该滑坡的主要因素。在分析石峡口滑坡成因的基础上对与该滑坡相邻的西侧高边坡进行了稳定性研究,采用有限元强度折减法计算出潜在滑面的位置和稳定系数,并和极限平衡法计算结果做比较,结果表明有限元强度折减法与传统极限平衡法计算的稳定性系数很接近,增强了计算结果的可靠性。

黏性土坡地震失稳机制及其在黄土斜坡地震稳定性分析中的应用

基于地震作用下黏性土坡失稳滑动特点,以土体应力状态及其变化分析边坡失稳过程。通过分析地震作用下边坡不同部位土体应力状态和剪应力变化,结合实际地震边坡失稳破坏特征,提出黏性土坡地震三段式滑动失稳机制。在分析该滑动失稳机制与有限元强度折减法之间应力关联的基础上,将两者结合应用于实际黄土地震滑坡动力稳定性分析。依据此考虑得到的动力安全系数相比较其他方法,与极限平衡法得到的结果更为接近。     

A numerical and experimental study of hollow steel pile in layered soil subjected to vertical dynamic loading

This paper presents an investigation of the nonlinear behaviour of single piles subjected to varying levels of vertical dynamic load. A good number of tests are performed for the understanding of the dynamic behaviour of single hollow steel piles embedded in layered soil. Experimental results are validated with results obtained from a nonlinear numerical analysis using commercially available Finite Element Method (FEM) based software. The results of numerical analysis and experimental investigations showed that the length of pile has significant influence on resonant frequency and amplitude of the pile foundation. It has also been found that the slippage of pile from the surrounding soil considerably affects the resonance frequency and amplitude of the soil–pile foundation system.     

Nonlinear 3D finite element analysis of soil–pile–structure interaction system subjected to horizontal earthquake excitation

The dynamic response of a seismic soil–pile–structure interaction (SSPSI) system is investigated in this paper by conducting nonlinear 3D finite element numerical simulations. Nonlinear behaviors such as non-reflecting boundary condition and soil–pile–structure interaction modeled by the penalty method have been taken into account. An equivalent linear model developed from the ground response analysis and the modified Drucker–Prager model are separately used for soil ground. A comparison of the two models shows that the equivalent linear soil model results in an underestimated acceleration response of the structure under this ground shaking and the soil behavior should be considered as a fully-nonlinear constitutive model in the design process of the SSPSI system. It was also observed that the dynamic response of the system is greatly affected by the nonlinearity of soil–pile interface and is not sensitive to the dilation angle of the soil. Furthermore, the effect of the presence of pile foundations on SSPSI response is also analyzed and discussed.     

基于有限元强度折减法的边坡稳定性分析

运用有限元强度折减法进行边坡的稳定性分析,同时运用简化bishop法对比结果,发现运用强度折减法进行边坡稳定性分析时,伴随着折减系数的增大,边坡的坡顶水平位移最初缓慢增大,但当折减系数接近边坡的安全系数,坡顶水平位移突然急剧减小,边坡的塑性区也伴随着折减系数的增大,从无到有,直到基本贯通。运用简化bishop法计算的结果和强度折减法的结果对比后得知,两者计算得到破裂面基本一致,但是简化bishop法得到的安全系数偏于保守。

双向八车道连拱隧道围岩力学参数反演分析

在采用双侧壁导坑法施工的双向八车道特大断面连拱隧道中,施工步繁多,临时支护设置的时间长,隧道全断面的变形量测只能在临时支护拆除后进行。由于全断面变形数据获取得较晚,故较难将其用于围岩力学参数的反演。将有限元计算和BP神经网络技术相结合,并在有限元计算过程中考虑实际的施工步,建立起所有临时支护拆除之前这一施工状态下导坑的变形量与围岩力学参数之间的非线性映射关系,并通过对应状态下实测的导坑变形值反演了围岩的力学参数。将反演的结果用于正分析验算,验证了该方法是可行的。
