An example is presented and numerical results are compared. The results show that the additional longitudinal forces calculated with the new model are less than those of the previous, especially in the case of the flexible pier bridges. The new model is also suitable for the analysis of the additional longitudinal force transmission between rails and bridges of ballastless track with small resistance fasteners without taking the sleeper displacement into account, and compared with the ballast bridges, the ballastless bridges have a much stronger additional longitudinal force transmission between the continuously welded rails and the bridges.展开更多

The relationships between the fracture length of the roof and the working resistance of the supports were discovered, and the correlations between the load on the overlying strata and the ratio of the crack's length to the thickness of the roof were obtained. Using a working face of Jindi Coal Mine, Xing county Shanxi province as an example, the relationships between the fracture length of the roof and the working resistance of the supports were analysed in detail. The results give a design basis in hydraulic top coal caving supports, which could provide useful references in the practical application. On-site experiment proves that the periodic weighting step interval of the caving face is 15–16 m, which is basically consistent with the theoretical analysis results, and indicates that the mechanized caving hydraulic support is capable of meeting the support requirements in the mining of a super-thick but shallowly buried coal seam.展开更多

The influence factors including supporting pressure, dip angle and characteristic of coal on horizontal section height were analyzed as well. By terms of the practice project analysis, the horizontal section height increases with the increase of dip angle β and thickness of coal seam M. Dip angle of coal seam β has tremendous impact on horizontal section height, while thickness of coal seam M has slight impact. When thickness of coal seam is below 10m, horizontal section height increases sharply. While thickness exceeds 15m, it is not major factor influencing on horizontal section height any long.展开更多

The model employs a discretization approach, representing the liquid as a network of interconnected spring-damper-mass systems. Key aspects include the adaptation of liquid discretization techniques to cylindrical lateral cross-sections and the calculation of stiffness and damping coefficients. External forces, simulating various vehicle maneuvers, are also integrated into the model. The resulting system of equations is solved using Maple Software with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. This model enables accurate prediction of liquid displacement and pressure forces, offering valuable insights for tank design and fluid dynamics applications. Ongoing refinement aims to broaden its applicability across different liquid types and tank geometries.展开更多

文摘Accurate prediction of coal and gas outburst(CGO)hazards is paramount in gas disaster prevention and control.This paper endeavors to overcome the constraints posed by traditional prediction indexes when dealing with CGO incidents under low gas pressure conditions.In pursuit of this objective,we have studied and established a mechanical model of the working face under abnormal stress and the excitation energy conditions of CGO,and proposed a method for predicting the risk of CGO under abnormal stress.On site application verification shows that when a strong outburst hazard level prediction is issued,there is a high possibility of outburst disasters occurring.In one of the three locations where we predicted strong outburst hazards,a small outburst occurred,and the accuracy of the prediction was higher than the traditional drilling cuttings index S and drilling cuttings gas desorption index q.Finally,we discuss the mechanism of CGO under the action of stress anomalies.Based on the analysis of stress distribution changes and energy accumulation characteristics of coal under abnormal stress,this article believes that the increase in outburst risk caused by high stress abnormal gradient is mainly due to two reasons:(1)The high stress abnormal gradient leads to an increase in the plastic zone of the coal seam.After the working face advances,it indirectly leads to an increase in the gas expansion energy that can be released from the coal seam before reaching a new stress equilibrium.(2)Abnormal stress leads to increased peak stress of coal body in front of working face.When coal body in elastic area transforms to plastic area,its failure speed is accelerated,which induces accelerated gas desorption and aggravates the risk of outburst.

文摘Continuous Fiber-reinforced Metal Matrix Composites(CFMMCs),such as Si C fiberreinforced TC17 matrix composites(SiC_(f)/TC17),are renowned for their exceptional mechanical properties.However,their heterogeneous compositions present significant machining challenges,including fiber pullout,matrix cracking,and accelerated tool wear.Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Grinding(UVAG)has proven to be an effective technique for overcoming these challenges.The material removal mechanisms in UVAG,especially in composites with both ductile and brittle phases,remain poorly understood.To explore these issues,UVAG and Conventional Grinding(CG)experiments were conducted on SiC_(f)/TC17 along two grinding directions:fiber's transverse direction(FT)and fiber's longitudinal direction(FL).This paper aims to provide a new dynamic mechanical model and shed light on the complex removal mechanisms in CFMMCs,which are characterized by a near one-to-one alternation of ductile and brittle phases.The findings reveal that UVAG reduces fiber damage and surface roughness compared to CG,especially when grinding along FT.UVAG lowers normal(F_(n))and tangential grinding forces(F_(t))by 15.3%and 12.3%,respectively.This highlights UVAG's potential for improving the machinability of complex materials like CFMMCs.The proposed grinding force model closely matches the experimental results.This paper hopes to support the precision abrasive machining of CFMMCs,a kind of complex and highly anisotropic composite material,and promote their application in the fields such as aerospace.

文摘Mechanical excavation,blasting,adjacent rockburst and fracture slip that occur during mining excavation impose dynamic loads on the rock mass,leading to further fracture of damaged surrounding rock in three-dimensional high-stress and even causing disasters.Therefore,a novel complex true triaxial static-dynamic combined loading method reflecting underground excavation damage and then frequent intermittent disturbance failure is proposed.True triaxial static compression and intermittent disturbance tests are carried out on monzogabbro.The effects of intermediate principal stress and amplitude on the strength characteristics,deformation characteristics,failure characteristics,and precursors of monzogabbro are analyzed,intermediate principal stress and amplitude increase monzogabbro strength and tensile fracture mechanism.Rapid increases in microseismic parameters during rock loading can be precursors for intermittent rock disturbance.Based on the experimental result,the new damage fractional elements and method with considering crack initiation stress and crack unstable stress as initiation and acceleration condition of intermittent disturbance irreversible deformation are proposed.A novel three-dimensional disturbance fractional deterioration model considering the intermediate principal stress effect and intermittent disturbance damage effect is established,and the model predicted results align well with the experimental results.The sensitivity of stress states and model parameters is further explored,and the intermittent disturbance behaviors at different f are predicted.This study provides valuable theoretical bases for the stability analysis of deep mining engineering under dynamic loads.

文摘With the increase in mining depth,traditional coal mining methods not only waste coal resources but also seriously impact the stability of the roadway support structure during the collapse of the overburden rock.In contrast,the top-cutting and depressurization technology utilizes the expansion effect of the rock effectively.This technology allows the rock body to collapse entirely,filling up the mining area through active intervention,which reduces the subsidence height of the overburden rock and significantly improves the coal extraction rate in the mining area.This study utilizes 3D seismic exploration technology to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of fissure zones and rich zones of the rock strata in the mining area and investigate the movement law of overburdened rock during the coal seam mining process using the 110 mining method.It conducts numerical analysis combined with geomechanical modeling experiments to explore the movement law of the overburden rock under the influence of mining activities at Yuwang Coal Mine.The numerical analysis results indicate that the horizontal and vertical displacements of the rock body on the roof of the roadway are minimal when the angle of the slit is 75°.The overlying rock movement during the test is categorized by modeling the stress and strain fields into the following stages:fracture zone expansion,collapse zone gestation,rapid collapse zone development,and overlying rock stabilization.The rock on the cut side collapses more completely,breaking up and expanding to support the overburden,effectively reducing the depth of crack expansion and the extent of rock settlement and deformation.The integrity of the roadway roof remains intact during the rock collapse under NPR anchors.This study provides a scientific basis for understanding the movement law of overlying rock and for controlling the stability of the roadway perimeter rock in kilometer-deep underground mining.

文摘Under the policy background and advocacy of carbon capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS),CO_(2)-EOR has become a promising direction in the shale oil reservoir industry.The multi-scale pore structure distribution and fracture structure lead to complex multiphase flow,comprehensively considering multiple mechanisms is crucial for development and CO_(2) storage in fractured shale reservoirs.In this paper,a multi-mechanism coupled model is developed by MATLAB.Compared to the traditional Eclipse300 and MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox(MRST),this model considers the impact of pore structure on fluid phase behavior by the modified Peng—Robinson equation of state(PR-EOS),and the effect simultaneously radiate to Maxwell—Stefan(M—S)diffusion,stress sensitivity,the nano-confinement(NC)effect.Moreover,a modified embedded discrete fracture model(EDFM)is used to model the complex fractures,which optimizes connection types and half-transmissibility calculation approaches between non-neighboring connections(NNCs).The full implicit equation adopts the finite volume method(FVM)and Newton—Raphson iteration for discretization and solution.The model verification with the Eclipse300 and MRST is satisfactory.The results show that the interaction between the mechanisms significantly affects the production performance and storage characteristics.The effect of molecular diffusion may be overestimated in oil-dominated(liquid-dominated)shale reservoirs.The well spacing and injection gas rate are the most crucial factors affecting the production by sensitivity analysis.Moreover,the potential gas invasion risk is mentioned.This model provides a reliable theoretical basis for CO_(2)-EOR and sequestration in shale oil reservoirs.

文摘Implanted neural probes can detect weak discharges of neurons in the brain by piercing soft brain tissue,thus as important tools for brain science research,as well as diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.However,the rigid neural probes,such as Utah arrays,Michigan probes,and metal microfilament electrodes,are mechanically unmatched with brain tissue and are prone to rejection and glial scarring after implantation,which leads to a significant degradation in the signal quality with the implantation time.In recent years,flexible neural electrodes are rapidly developed with less damage to biological tissues,excellent biocompatibility,and mechanical compliance to alleviate scarring.Among them,the mechanical modeling is important for the optimization of the structure and the implantation process.In this review,the theoretical calculation of the flexible neural probes is firstly summarized with the processes of buckling,insertion,and relative interaction with soft brain tissue for flexible probes from outside to inside.Then,the corresponding mechanical simulation methods are organized considering multiple impact factors to realize minimally invasive implantation.Finally,the technical difficulties and future trends of mechanical modeling are discussed for the next-generation flexible neural probes,which is critical to realize low-invasiveness and long-term coexistence in vivo.

文摘The redistribution of three-dimensional(3D)geostress during underground tunnel excavation can easily induce to shear failure along rockmass structural plane,potentially resulting in engineering disasters.However,the current understanding of rockmass shear behavior is mainly based on shear tests under2D stress without lateral stress,the shear fracture under 3D stress is unclear,and the relevant 3D shear fracture theory research is deficient.Therefore,this study conducted true triaxial cyclic loading and unloading shear tests on intact and bedded limestone under different normal stress σ_(n) and lateral stressσ_(p)to investigate the shear strength,deformation,and failure characteristics.The results indicate that under differentσ_(n)and σ_(p),the stress–strain hysteresis loop area gradually increases from nearly zero in the pre-peak stage,becomes most significant in the post-peak stage,and then becomes very small in the residual stage as the number of shear test cycles increases.The shear peak strength and failure surface roughness almost linearly increase with the increase inσ_(n),while they first increase and then gradually decrease asσ_(p)increases,with the maximum increases of 12.9%for strength and 15.1%for roughness.The shear residual strength almost linearly increases withσ_(n),but shows no significant change withσ_(p).Based on the acoustic emission characteristic parameters during the test process,the shear fracture process and microscopic failure mechanism were analyzed.As the shear stressτincreases,the acoustic emission activity,main frequency,and amplitude gradually increase,showing a significant rise during the cycle near the peak strength,while remaining almost unchanged in the residual stage.The true triaxial shear fracture process presents tensile-shear mixture failure characteristics dominated by microscopic tensile failure.Based on the test results,a 3D shear strength criterion considering the lateral stress effect was proposed,and the determination methods and evolution of the shear modulus G,cohesion c_(jp),friction angleφ_(jp),and dilation angleψjpduring rockmass shear fracture process were studied.Under differentσ_(n)andσ_(p),G first rapidly decreases and then tends to stabilize;cjp,φ_(jp),andψjpfirst increase rapidly to the maximum value,then decrease slowly,and finally remain basically unchanged.A 3D shear mechanics model considering the effects of lateral stress and shear parameter degradation was further established,and a corresponding numerical calculation program was developed based on3D discrete element software.The proposed model effectively simulates the shear failure evolution process of rockmass under true triaxial shear test,and is further applied to successfully reveal the failure characteristics of surrounding rocks with structural planes under different combinations of tunnel axis and geostress direction.

文摘The human body displays various symptoms of altitude sickness due to hypoxia in environments with low pressure and oxygen levels.While existing studies are primarily focused on the adverse effects of hypoxia and oxygen supplementation strategies at high altitudes,there is a notable gap in understanding the fundamental mechanisms driving altitude hypoxia.In this context,we propose a sophisticated two-way fluid–structure interaction model that simulates respiratory processes with precisely structured and deformable upper airways.This model reveals that,under identical pressure differentials at the airway’s inlet and outlet,the inspiratory air volume remains largely consistent and is minimally affected by specific pressure changes.However,an increase in the pressure differential enhances gas inhalation efficiency.Furthermore,airway morphology emerges as a pivotal factor influencing oxygen intake.Distorted airway shapes create areas of high flow velocity,where low wall pressure hampers effective airway opening,thus diminishing gas inhalation.These results may shed light on the effects of low-pressure conditions and upper airway structure on respiratory dynamics at high altitudes and inform the development of effective oxygen supply strategies.
文摘This study presents a comprehensive full dynamic model designed for simulating liquid sloshing behavior within cylindrical tank structures. The model employs a discretization approach, representing the liquid as a network of interconnected spring-damper-mass systems. Key aspects include the adaptation of liquid discretization techniques to cylindrical lateral cross-sections and the calculation of stiffness and damping coefficients. External forces, simulating various vehicle maneuvers, are also integrated into the model. The resulting system of equations is solved using Maple Software with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. This model enables accurate prediction of liquid displacement and pressure forces, offering valuable insights for tank design and fluid dynamics applications. Ongoing refinement aims to broaden its applicability across different liquid types and tank geometries.

文摘In this study,a half-space 13-degree-of-freedom vehicle model,a double track model,and a train-bridge interaction model were integrated to form a combined people-train-rail-bridge interaction model to analyze the vertical Sperling index of the train body and passengers as realistically as possible.In this bigger,more complete,and novel model,the separation between the vehicle and bridge is considered.By comparing measured data and simulated results obtained using the proposed model with the Newmark-Beta algorithm,the effectiveness of the model was verified,and the results demonstrated that these two values were very close.Upon further numerical analysis,the dynamic responses of the train and the three equivalent human bodies at different train speeds were computed using the developed vehicle-structure dynamic analysis program with different abruptness values in the random rail irregularities.The results of these four dynamic responses revealed that the rail irregularities affected the vertical acceleration of the three equivalent human bodies and train,and the best Sperling index evaluation standard for the train was not fixed(as assumed when only considering the train body)but varied with the passenger position as the train traveled over irregularities.
