During design, it is a frequent practice, therefore, to give recommended values by analog based on experience. It is a key point in current research to make use of the displacement back analytic method to comparatively accurately determine the parameters of the surrounding rock whereas artificial intelligence possesses an exceptionally strong capability of identifying, expressing and coping with such complex non-linear relationships. The parameters can be verified by searching the optimal network structure, using back analysis on measured data to search optimal parameters and performing direct computation of the obtained results. In the current paper, the direct analysis is performed with the biological emulation system and the software of Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC3D. The high non-linearity, network reasoning and coupling ability of the neural network are employed. The output vector required of the training of the neural network is obtained with the numerical analysis software. And the overall space search is conducted by employing the Adaptive Immunity Algorithm. As a result, we are able to avoid the shortcoming that multiple parameters and optimized parameters are easy to fall into a local extremum. At the same time, the computing speed and efficiency are increased as well. Further, in the paper satisfactory conclusions are arrived at through the intelligent direct-back analysis on the monitored and measured data at the Erdaoya tunneling project. The results show that the physical and mechanical parameters obtained by the intelligent direct-back analysis proposed in the current paper have effectively improved the recommended values in the original prospecting data. This is of practical significance to the appraisal of stability and informationization design of the surrounding rock.展开更多

This study established, a comprehensive monitoring system to investigate the interrelations and evolutionary characteristics among multiple mechanical parameters, including mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events during overburden rock caving. It is suggested that, despite the uniformity of the overburden rock caving interval, the main characteristic of overburden rock lies in its uneven caving strength. The mining-induced stress exhibits a reasonable interrelation with the displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events of the rock strata. With the advancement of the coal seam, the mining-induced stress undergoes four successive stages: gentle stability, gradual accumulation, high-level mutation, and a return to stability. The variations in other mechanical parameters does not synchronize with the signifcant changes in mining-induced stress. Before the collapse of overburden rock occurs, rock strata temperature increment decreases and the acoustic emission ringing counts surges with the increase of rock strata displacement and mining-induced stress. Therefore, the collaborative characteristics of mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission ringing counts can be identifed as the precursor information or overburden rock caving. These results are in good consistent with on-site situation in the coal mine.展开更多

Test and analysis results indicate that, ultrasonic wave velocity rapidly changes in the temperature range of-1 ℃ to -5 ℃. Ultrasonic wave velocity increased with an increase of water content until the water content reached the critical water content, while decreased with an increase of water content after the water content exceeded the critical water content. This study showed that there was strong positive correlation between the ul- trasonic wave velocity and the frozen soil strength. As ultrasonic wave velocity increased, either tensile strength or com- pressive strength increased. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between ultrasonic wave velocity and frozen silty clay strength was obtained through regression analysis. It was found that the ultrasonic test technique can be used to test frozen soils and lay the foundation for the determination of frozen soil strength.展开更多

Dynamic Bayesian error function of mechanical parameters of multi-cell curve box girder was achieved with Bayesian statistical theory. The corresponding formulas of dynamic Bayesian expectation and variance were obtained. After the one-dimensional optimization search method for the automatic determination of step length of the mechanical parameter was put forward, the optimization identification calculative formulas were also obtained by adopting conjugate gradient method. Then the steps of dynamic Bayesian identification of mechanical parameters of multi-cell curve box girder were stated in detail. Through analysis of a classic example, the dynamic Bayesian identification processes of mechanical parameters are steadily convergent to the true values, which proves that dynamic Bayesian theory and conjugate gradient theory are suitable for the identification calculation and the compiled procedure is correct. It is of significance that the foreknown information of mechanical parameters should be set with reliable practical engineering experiences instead of arbitrary selection.展开更多

According to the unloading region division method of the affected zone theory, and the deterioration laws of mechanics parameters of unloading rock mass, the continuous mining process in underground mine was analyzed by the software MIDAS/GTS, the mechanical response of roof rock mass unloading was studied, and the differences were analyzed with the conventional simulation. The result shows that the maximum tensile stress, subsidence displacement and equivalent plastic strain of roof rock mass are 1.5 MPa, 20 cm and 1.5% in the unloading analysis, while 1.0 MPa, 13 cm and 0.9% in the conventional analysis. The values of unloading analysis, which are also closer to the actual situation, are greater than those of conventional analysis; the maximum step in continuous mining is 48 m, which shows that the induced treatment of the roof should be carried out after 2 mining steps展开更多

To further research the effects of pre-existing fissures on the mechanical properties and crack coalescence process, a series of uniaxial compression tests were carried out for rock-like material with two unparallel fissures.In the present study, cement, quartz sand, and water were used to fabricate a kind of brittle rock-like material cylindrical model specimen. The mechanical properties of rock-like material specimen used in this research were all in good agreement with the brittle rock materials. Two unparallel fissures（a horizontal fissure and an inclined fissure） were created by inserting steel during molding the model specimen.Then all the pre-fissured rock-like specimens were tested under uniaxial compression by a rock mechanics servocontrolled testing system. The peak strength and Young＇s modulus of pre-fissured specimen all first decreased and then increased when the fissure angle increased from 0？to 75？.In order to investigate the crack initiation, propagation and coalescence process, photographic monitoring was adopted to capture images during the entire deformation process.Moreover, acoustic emission（AE） monitoring technique was also used to obtain the AE evolution characteristic of prefissured specimen. The relationship between axial stress, AE events, and the crack coalescence process was set up： when a new crack was initiated or a crack coalescence occurred, thecorresponding axial stress dropped in the axial stress–time curve and a big AE event could be observed simultaneously.Finally, the mechanism of crack propagation under microscopic observation was discussed. These experimental results are expected to increase the understanding of the strength failure behavior and the cracking mechanism of rock containing unparallel fissures.展开更多

Simultaneously with deriving the orthotropic anisotropy elastic parameters along the positive axis, the equivalent compliance matrix for the deflection axis orthotropic anisotropy was derived through a three- dimensional coordinate transformation. In addition, Singh＇s analysis of the stress concentration effects of intermittent joints was adopted, based on two groups of intermittent joints and a set of cross- cutting joints in the jointed rock mass. The stress concentration effects caused by intermittent joints and the coupling effect of cross-cutting joints along the deflection-axis are also considered. The proposed anisotropic mechanics parameters method is applied to determine the deformation parameters of jointed granite at the Taishan Nuclear Power Station. Combined with the deterministic mechanical parameters of rock blocks and joints, the deformation parameters and their variability in jointed rock masses are estimated quantitatively. The computed results show that jointed granite at the Taishan Nuclear Power Station exhibits typical anisotropic mechanical characteristics; the elastic moduli in the two horizontal directions were similar, but the elastic modulus in the vertical direction was much greater. Jointed rock elastic moduli in the two horizontal and vertical directions were respectively about 24% and 37% of the core of rock, showing weakly orthotropic anisotropy; the ratio of elastic moduli in the vertical and horizontal directions was 1.53, clearly indicating the transversely isotropic rock mass mechanical characteristics. The method can be popularized to solve other rock mechanics problems in nuclear power engineering.展开更多

文摘A series of acoustic emission(AE)-integrated conventional triaxial compression tests(CTTs)were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of hard red sandstone.Under conventional triaxial stress states,the crack closure stress,crack initiation stress,and damage stress ranged in 13.75%-22.34%,31.84%-42.19%,and 63.85%-75.93%of the peak strength of sandstone,respectively.The AE parameters reflected the confining pressure(σ3)effect on microcrack propagation,withσ3=5 MPa identified as the threshold affecting both the timing of numerous AE hits and the distribution range of peak frequencies of AE signals before the final failure of each specimen.The AE property analysis showed that shear cracks played a dominant role in rock failure in CCTs,which ranged in 60%-85%of the total number of cracks.A smallerσ3 value promoted shear failure,whereas a largerσ3 value inhibited it.Furthermore,the appropriate dataset selection range to accurately calculate the cohesion force and internal friction angle in CTTs and variable-angle shear tests was determined.

文摘To study the influence of temperature and water content on ultrasonic wave velocity and to establish the relationship between ultrasonic wave velocity and frozen silty clay strength, ultrasonic tests were conducted to frozen silty clay by using RSM-SY5（T） nonmetal supersonic test meter, and the tensile strength and compressive strength of silty clay were measured under various negative temperatures. Test and analysis results indicate that, ultrasonic wave velocity rapidly changes in the temperature range of-1 ℃ to -5 ℃. Ultrasonic wave velocity increased with an increase of water content until the water content reached the critical water content, while decreased with an increase of water content after the water content exceeded the critical water content. This study showed that there was strong positive correlation between the ul- trasonic wave velocity and the frozen soil strength. As ultrasonic wave velocity increased, either tensile strength or com- pressive strength increased. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between ultrasonic wave velocity and frozen silty clay strength was obtained through regression analysis. It was found that the ultrasonic test technique can be used to test frozen soils and lay the foundation for the determination of frozen soil strength.

文摘The responses of cement mortar specimens of different dimensions under compression and tension were calculated based on the discrete element method with the modified-rigid-body-spring concrete model,in which the mechanical parameters derived from macro-scale material tests were applied directly to the mortar elements.By comparing the calculated results with those predicted by the Carpinteri andWeibull size effects laws,a series of formulas to convert the macro-scale mechanical parameters of mortar and interface to those at the meso-scale were proposed through a fitting analysis.Based on the proposed formulas,numerical simulation of axial compressive and tensile failure processes of concrete and cement mortar materials,respectively were conducted.The calculated results were a good match with the test results.

文摘For multi-cell curve box girder, the finite strip governing equation was derived on the basis of Novozhilov theory and orthogonal property of harmonious function series. Dynamic Bayesian error function of mechanical parameters of multi-cell curve box girder was achieved with Bayesian statistical theory. The corresponding formulas of dynamic Bayesian expectation and variance were obtained. After the one-dimensional optimization search method for the automatic determination of step length of the mechanical parameter was put forward, the optimization identification calculative formulas were also obtained by adopting conjugate gradient method. Then the steps of dynamic Bayesian identification of mechanical parameters of multi-cell curve box girder were stated in detail. Through analysis of a classic example, the dynamic Bayesian identification processes of mechanical parameters are steadily convergent to the true values, which proves that dynamic Bayesian theory and conjugate gradient theory are suitable for the identification calculation and the compiled procedure is correct. It is of significance that the foreknown information of mechanical parameters should be set with reliable practical engineering experiences instead of arbitrary selection.

文摘Taking the test stopes during continuous mining induced roof caving of Tongkeng ore-body No.92 as example, the calculation flow of unloading analysis was established. According to the unloading region division method of the affected zone theory, and the deterioration laws of mechanics parameters of unloading rock mass, the continuous mining process in underground mine was analyzed by the software MIDAS/GTS, the mechanical response of roof rock mass unloading was studied, and the differences were analyzed with the conventional simulation. The result shows that the maximum tensile stress, subsidence displacement and equivalent plastic strain of roof rock mass are 1.5 MPa, 20 cm and 1.5% in the unloading analysis, while 1.0 MPa, 13 cm and 0.9% in the conventional analysis. The values of unloading analysis, which are also closer to the actual situation, are greater than those of conventional analysis; the maximum step in continuous mining is 48 m, which shows that the induced treatment of the roof should be carried out after 2 mining steps

文摘The seepage characteristics of shale reservoirs are influenced not only by multi-field coupling effects such as stress field,temperature field,and seepage field but also exhibit evident creep characteristics during oil and gas exploitation.The complex fluid flow in such reservoirs is analyzed using a combination of theoretical modeling and numerical simulation.This study develops a comprehensive mathematical model that integrates the impact of creep on the seepage process,with consideration of factors including stress,strain,and time-dependent deformation.The model is validated through a series of numerical experiments,which demonstrate the significant influence of creep on the seepage behavior.The results indicate that the rock mechanical parameters and creep constitutive model were determined through triaxial compression tests and uniaxial creep tests.A creep-seepage coupling control equation for shale was established based on the Burgers creep model.The absolute value of the volumetric strain of shale increases rapidly in the initial creep stage,and the increase in vertical stress accelerates the rock’s creep deformation.During the deceleration creep stage,the volumetric strain of the reservoir increases rapidly,leading to a significant decrease in permeability.In the stable creep stage,the pores and fractures in the rock are further compressed,causing a gradual reduction in permeability,which eventually stabilizes.

文摘Focused ultrasound(FUS)therapy generates sufficient heat for medical interventions like tumor ablation by concentrating energy at the focal point.The complex viscoelastic properties of biological tissues pose challenges in balancing focusing precision and penetration depth,impacting the safety of surrounding tissues and treatment efficacy.This study develops an acoustic-solid-thermal coupling computational model to elucidate the dynamic mechanical response and energy dissipation mechanisms of soft tissue during FUS thermal therapy using a hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model.Results indicate that the high compressibility and low shear resistance of biological tissues result in a unique shear dissipation mechanism.Energy dissipation efficiency per area is indirectly influenced by load frequency via its effect on the dynamic shear modulus and is directly proportional to load amplitude.Focusing precision,represented by the focal zone width,is inversely controlled by frequency via wavelength.A mathematical model for evaluating temperature rise efficiency is proposed,and an optimal frequency for efficient FUS thermal therapy in brain-like soft materials is identified.This research elucidates the link between viscoelastic tissue behavior and FUS treatment outcomes,offering insights for optimizing FUS applications in various medical fields.

文摘Shale mechanical properties are important for shale gas production,but the magnitudes are difficult to estimate,standard size cores are hard to sample,and secondary interstice generation is inevitable.This paper proposes a method for determining shale macroscale modulus,which is determined at a hierarchy of scales from the nano-to macro-scales.Microscale measurements are upscaled to estimate the corresponding magnitudes at the macroscale.A case study is conducted with Silurian shale samples,using the hierarchy scales,gridding nanoindentation,atomic force microscopy(AFM),mineral liberation analysis(MLA),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and uniaxial compression tests.The mineral compositions are analyzed using MLA and XRD,and the shale composition is described in terms of clay minerals,organic matter,and siliceous and carbonate contents.The variation in the Young’s modulus is analyzed based on the recorded indentation depth curves and modulus distributions.The nanoindentation and AFM results are upscaled to the centimeter scale through the Mori-Tanaka method.The upscaled results exhibit satisfactory fitting with the conventional uniaxial compression results,although the fitting of the upscaled AFM results is better than nanoindentation.The proposed approach can be applied to promptly and comprehensively predict the shale mechanical parameters during shale gas exploration.

文摘Strength and deformability characteristics of rock with pre-existing fissures are governed by cracking behavior. To further research the effects of pre-existing fissures on the mechanical properties and crack coalescence process, a series of uniaxial compression tests were carried out for rock-like material with two unparallel fissures.In the present study, cement, quartz sand, and water were used to fabricate a kind of brittle rock-like material cylindrical model specimen. The mechanical properties of rock-like material specimen used in this research were all in good agreement with the brittle rock materials. Two unparallel fissures（a horizontal fissure and an inclined fissure） were created by inserting steel during molding the model specimen.Then all the pre-fissured rock-like specimens were tested under uniaxial compression by a rock mechanics servocontrolled testing system. The peak strength and Young＇s modulus of pre-fissured specimen all first decreased and then increased when the fissure angle increased from 0？to 75？.In order to investigate the crack initiation, propagation and coalescence process, photographic monitoring was adopted to capture images during the entire deformation process.Moreover, acoustic emission（AE） monitoring technique was also used to obtain the AE evolution characteristic of prefissured specimen. The relationship between axial stress, AE events, and the crack coalescence process was set up： when a new crack was initiated or a crack coalescence occurred, thecorresponding axial stress dropped in the axial stress–time curve and a big AE event could be observed simultaneously.Finally, the mechanism of crack propagation under microscopic observation was discussed. These experimental results are expected to increase the understanding of the strength failure behavior and the cracking mechanism of rock containing unparallel fissures.

文摘An anisotropic geomechanical model for jointed rock mass is presented. Simultaneously with deriving the orthotropic anisotropy elastic parameters along the positive axis, the equivalent compliance matrix for the deflection axis orthotropic anisotropy was derived through a three- dimensional coordinate transformation. In addition, Singh＇s analysis of the stress concentration effects of intermittent joints was adopted, based on two groups of intermittent joints and a set of cross- cutting joints in the jointed rock mass. The stress concentration effects caused by intermittent joints and the coupling effect of cross-cutting joints along the deflection-axis are also considered. The proposed anisotropic mechanics parameters method is applied to determine the deformation parameters of jointed granite at the Taishan Nuclear Power Station. Combined with the deterministic mechanical parameters of rock blocks and joints, the deformation parameters and their variability in jointed rock masses are estimated quantitatively. The computed results show that jointed granite at the Taishan Nuclear Power Station exhibits typical anisotropic mechanical characteristics; the elastic moduli in the two horizontal directions were similar, but the elastic modulus in the vertical direction was much greater. Jointed rock elastic moduli in the two horizontal and vertical directions were respectively about 24% and 37% of the core of rock, showing weakly orthotropic anisotropy; the ratio of elastic moduli in the vertical and horizontal directions was 1.53, clearly indicating the transversely isotropic rock mass mechanical characteristics. The method can be popularized to solve other rock mechanics problems in nuclear power engineering.

文摘The grout-rock interfacial property is one of the key factors associated with the strength of grouted rock masses.In this study,direct shear tests and nanoindentation tests were adopted to investigate the mechanical properties of the grout-rock interface at both the macroscale and microscale.The cohesion of the cement specimens was higher than that of the grout-infilled joint specimens,while their internal friction angle was lower than that of the grout-infilled joint specimens.A“separation method”for identifying the different phases according to the qualitative and quantitative estimations was introduced,and the irregular interfacial transition zone(ITZ)thickness and elastic modulus were estimated.The ITZ thickness of the grout-infilled sandstone specimen ranged from 0 to 30μm,whereas it was within the range of 10-40μm for the grout-infilled mudstone specimen.The average elastic modulus of the ITZ in grout-infilled sandstone and mudstone specimens was approximately 58.2%and 54.1%lower than that of the bulk grout,respectively.Regarding the incidence of the rock type,the interlacing between the grout and sandstone was better developed.The ITZ with a higher porosity and lower modulus had a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the grout-infilled specimens.
文摘Based on the classical static theory and static numerical simulation,the static method could not accurately reflect the stability of goaf where the rocks on the pillar and roof are influenced by Theological and blasting disturbance for a long time.According to the test from the site,an experimental study was made in Theological and dynamic disturbance.After that,on the basis of variable rock mechanics parameters from the experimental data,numerical simulation was used to analyze the vertical stress distribution of goaf,vertical displacement and plastic area of roof in the "deterioration" caused by Theological and blasting,which shows that the mechanics properties of the rock were greatly influenced by Theological,and dynamic disturbance.The results of the experimental study and numerical simulation show that the mechanics properties of rock are greatly influenced by Theological and dynamic disturbance.As a result,the stability of goaf is greatly reduced.Finally,by comparing golf monitoring results with the analysis of theoretical calculation,it was found that the results were approximately the same,which testifies the reliability of the method.This method provides a new way of studying the stability of goaf as well as laying a basic foundation for future safety management.
