Size and shape evolution of pores in a viscoplastic matrix under compression

The frequent use of soils and earth materials for hydraulic capping and for geo‐environmental waste containment motivated our interest in detailed modelling of changes in size and shape of macro‐pores to establish links between soil mechanical behaviour and concurrent changes in hydraulic and transport properties. The objective of this study was to use finite element analysis (FEA) to test and extend previous analytical solutions proposed by the authors describing deformation of a single macro‐pore embedded in linear viscoplastic soil material subjected to anisotropic remote stress. The FEA enables to consider more complex pore geometries and provides a detailed picture of matrix yield behaviour to explain shortcomings of approximate analytical solutions. Finite element and analytical calculations agreed very well for linear viscous as well as for viscoplastic materials, only limited for the case of isotropic remote stress due to the simplifications of the analytical model related to patterns and onset of matrix‐yielding behaviour. FEA calculations were compared with experimental data obtained from a compaction experiment in which pore deformation within a uniform modelling clay sample was monitored using CAT scanning. FEA predictions based on independently measured material properties and initial pore geometry provided an excellent match with experimentally determined evolution of pore size and shape hence lending credence to the potential use of FEA for more complex pore geometries and eventually connect macro‐pore deformation with hydraulic properties.

Rockburst research at Falconbridge's Strathcona Mine,Sudbury, Canada

Microseismic systems at five mines in the Sudbury Basin provide the basic data for Falconbridge Limited's rockburst research. Daily and long-term analysis of this data as well as underground observations have confirmed the fault-slip mechanism at three mines. A detailed analysis of the complete history of Falconbridge Mine is being conducted and Distinct Element numerical models are being used to simulate both the stick-slip behaviour of faults and the dynamic effects of the induced vibrations on rock and backfill. University research includes acoustic tomographic imaging of the rock mass based on seismic wave propagation and collection of full microseismic waveforms to allow application of advanced seismic and statistical analysis techniques.Formerly with Mines Technical Services, Falconbridge Limited, Sudbury Operations, Falconbridge , Ont., P0M 1S0.Presented at the Fred Leighton Memorial Workshop on Mining Induced Seismicity, Montreal, Canada, August 30, 1987.     

冷泉活动区气泡羽状流数值模型研究

羽状流对天然气水合物的识别起到了间接指示作用,为研究冷泉活动区气泡羽状流产生的地震响应,需建立符合实际羽状流特征的模型。为此,参考实际羽状流赋存状态,结合含气泡水体特征,在已建立模型基础上,从羽状流气泡的垂直运移规律、分布特点及羽状流外观特征上对模型进行了改进,先后获得3个羽状流模型,最后的模型Ⅲ更接近实际羽状流赋存特征。通过与实际羽状流的对比,讨论分析了模型Ⅲ的合理性,并得出结论：所建模型体现了实际羽状流气泡的本质特征,并包含了更为复杂的气泡含量变化,可用于进一步深入研究羽状流地震响应特征,也为气泡羽状流的地震识别及天然气水合物的相关研究提供了较好的数值模型。     

VSP上下行反射波联合成像方法研究

VSP资料上下行波场发育丰富.本文在分析VSP直达波、上行反射波、下行反射波传播路径及其照明范围的基础上,指出了常规VSP波动方程偏移方法缺陷,进而通过修改波场延拓方式,提出了上下行反射波联合成像方法,并在高频近似下分析了该方法的成像原理.该方法不需要进行VSP上下行反射波场分离,能够同时对VSP资料中的一次反射波、自由表面多次波、层间多次波进行成像,比常规成像剖面具有更宽的成像范围和更好的成像效果.该方法能够对下行一次反射波进行成像,从而可以实现常规偏移方法难以处理的高陡倾角构造成像.模拟资料和实际资料处理证明了本文方法的正确性.

城市轨道交通盾构隧道病害空间分布特征量化研究

随着地铁的不断建设与投入使用,我国正在逐步进入地铁运营养护期,地铁病害检测与运营养护也逐渐得到重视。随着地铁运营年限的增加,病害也呈现加重趋势。通过三维激光扫描技术获取隧道病害全面信息,利用空间自相关性分析地铁隧道病害的地理空间分布特征,对于认识病害形成机理,防治病害具有重要意义。本文以某地铁隧道通过三维激光扫描所获得的水平收敛数据为基础,利用空间自相关分析法定量分析了病害在地理空间上的分布特征,以及与周边水文地质环境的关系。结果表明,隧道病害在地理空间分布上呈现显著的空间正相关与空间集聚特性,且病害严重区与隧道周边水文地质环境密切相关。本文结果为隧道病害地理空间分布特征研究、认识病害分布规律及后期病害治理提供了有效依据。
