This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on residual stresses induced in AISI 1025, manufactured using LENS. Finite element model was developed and simulated to analyze residual stress development. AISI 1025 samples suitable for tool and die applications in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) filament production, were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process, followed by heat treatment where annealing and quenching processes were done. The material’s microstructure, residual stress and hardness of heat-treated samples under investigation, were compared against the as-built samples. The results indicated that after annealing, tensile residual stresses were reduced by 93%, resulting in a reduced crack growth rate, compared to the as-built sample, although the hardness was reduced significantly by 25%. On the other hand, high tensile residual stresses of 425 ± 14 MPa were recorded after quenching process with an improvement of hardness by 21%.展开更多

The shallow gassy soils significantly affect the construction of underground projects. Proper characterization of spatial distribution of shallow gassy soils is indispensable prior to construction of underground projects in the area. Due to the costly conditions required in the site investigation for gassy soils, only a limited number of gas pressure data can be obtained in engineering practice, which leads to the uncertainty in characterizing spatial distribution of gassy soils. Determining the number of boreholes for investigating gassy soils and their corresponding locations is pivotal to reducing construction risk induced by gassy soils. However, this primarily relies on the engineering experience in the current site investigation practice. This study develops a probabilistic site investigation optimization method for planning investigation schemes (including the number and locations of boreholes) of gassy soils based on the conditional random field and Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed method aims to provide an optimal investigation scheme before the site investigation based on prior knowledge. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated using a case study.展开更多

文摘Burial dissolution is a critical diagenetic process influencing ultra-deep carbonate reservoir development and preservation.Artificial carbonate samples with different internal structures were prepared,and high-temperature and highpressure dissolution kinetic simulations were conducted.The results demonstrate that the intensity of burial dissolution is controlled by temperature and pressure,while tectonic-fluid activity influences the development pattern of burial dissolution,ultimately determining the direction of its differential modification.Extensive burial dissolution is likely to occur primarily at relatively shallow depths,significantly influencing reservoir formation,preservation,modification,and adjustment.The development of faults facilitates the maintenance of the intensity of burial dissolution.The maximum intensity of burial dissolution occurs at the tips and overlap zones of faults and intersections of multiple faults.The larger the scale of the faults,the more conducive it is to the development of burial dissolution.Burial dissolution fosters the formation of fault networks characterized by enhanced reservoir capacity and permeability.Burial dissolution controlled by episodic tectonic-fluid activity is a plausible explanation for forming the Tarim Basin's ultra-deep fault-controlled“stringbead-like”reservoirs.

文摘The graded density impactor(GDI)dynamic loading technique is crucial for acquiring the dynamic physical property parameters of materials used in weapons.The accuracy and timeliness of GDI structural design are key to achieving controllable stress-strain rate loading.In this study,we have,for the first time,combined one-dimensional fluid computational software with machine learning methods.We first elucidated the mechanisms by which GDI structures control stress and strain rates.Subsequently,we constructed a machine learning model to create a structure-property response surface.The results show that altering the loading velocity and interlayer thickness has a pronounced regulatory effect on stress and strain rates.In contrast,the impedance distribution index and target thickness have less significant effects on stress regulation,although there is a matching relationship between target thickness and interlayer thickness.Compared with traditional design methods,the machine learning approach offers a10^(4)—10^(5)times increase in efficiency and the potential to achieve a global optimum,holding promise for guiding the design of GDI.
文摘Heat treatment processes, such as annealing and quenching, are crucial in determining residual stress evolution, microstructural changes and mechanical properties of metallic materials, with residual stresses playing a greater role in the performance of components. This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on residual stresses induced in AISI 1025, manufactured using LENS. Finite element model was developed and simulated to analyze residual stress development. AISI 1025 samples suitable for tool and die applications in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) filament production, were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process, followed by heat treatment where annealing and quenching processes were done. The material’s microstructure, residual stress and hardness of heat-treated samples under investigation, were compared against the as-built samples. The results indicated that after annealing, tensile residual stresses were reduced by 93%, resulting in a reduced crack growth rate, compared to the as-built sample, although the hardness was reduced significantly by 25%. On the other hand, high tensile residual stresses of 425 ± 14 MPa were recorded after quenching process with an improvement of hardness by 21%.

文摘In the ultra-deep strata of the Tarim Basin,the vertical growth process of strike-slip faults remains unclear,and the vertical distribution of fractured-cavity carbonate reservoirs is complex.This paper investigates the vertical growth process of strike-slip faults through field outcrop observations in the Keping area,interpretation of seismic data from the Fuman Oilfield,Tarim Basim,NW China,and structural physical simulation experiments.The results are obtained mainly in four aspects.First,field outcrops and ultra-deep seismic profiles indicate a three-layer structure within the strike-slip fault,consisting of fault core,fracture zone and primary rock.The fault core can be classified into three parts vertically:fracture-cavity unit,fault clay and breccia zone.The distribution of fracture-cavity units demonstrates a distinct pattern of vertical stratification,owing to the structural characteristics and growth process of the slip-strike fault.Second,the ultra-deep seismic profiles show multiple fracture-cavity units in the strike-slip fault zone.These units can be classified into four types:top fractured,middle connected,deep terminated,and intra-layer fractured.Third,structural physical simulation experiments and ultra-deep seismic data interpretation reveal that the strike-slip faults have evolved vertically in three stages:segmental rupture,vertical growth,and connection and extension.The particle image velocimetry detection demonstrates that the initial fracture of the fault zone occurred at the top or bottom and then evolved into cavities gradually along with the fault growth,accompanied by the emergence of new fractures in the middle part of the strata,which subsequently connected with the deep and shallow cavities to form a complete fault zone.Fourth,the ultra-deep carbonate strata primarily develop three types of fractured-cavity reservoirs:flower-shaped fracture,large and deep fault and staggered overlap.The first two types are larger in size with better reservoir conditions,suggesting a significant exploration potential.

文摘Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation(MICP)technology can induce calcium carbonate crystals with cementation and stable performance in the process of microbial metabolism or enzymization through the regulation of environmental factors MICP can be used as a cementing agent to cement cohesionless sand particles to form the materials with the characteristics of higher strength,better durability and environmental friendli-ness,as well as a good engineering application prospect.In this paper,the shear strength of sand column was tested by triaxial compression tests,and the strength index was obtained.In order to further study the micro-strength mechanism and the failure process,based on the discrete element method,a numerical model of MICP cemented sand column was established considering the factors of matrix soil particle gradation,particle mor-phology,content ratio of induced calcium carbonate,pore distribution characteristics,inter-particle cementation and so on.The failure process of MICP cemented sand column under load was analysed by numerical simulation,and the reliability of the numerical model was tested by combining with the stress intensity curve of samples under test conditions.The results indicate that compared with the actual triaxial tests of MICP cemented sand column,although there are deviations in stress and strain,cohesion and internal friction angle,the numerical simulation shows similar development law and intensity amplitude,and the same failure trend.The work in this paper verifies the reliability of the numerical model and provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent analysis of the factors influencing the geotechnical mechanical properties of biomineralized materials.
文摘Gassy soils are distributed in relatively shallow layers the Quaternary deposit in Hangzhou Bay area. The shallow gassy soils significantly affect the construction of underground projects. Proper characterization of spatial distribution of shallow gassy soils is indispensable prior to construction of underground projects in the area. Due to the costly conditions required in the site investigation for gassy soils, only a limited number of gas pressure data can be obtained in engineering practice, which leads to the uncertainty in characterizing spatial distribution of gassy soils. Determining the number of boreholes for investigating gassy soils and their corresponding locations is pivotal to reducing construction risk induced by gassy soils. However, this primarily relies on the engineering experience in the current site investigation practice. This study develops a probabilistic site investigation optimization method for planning investigation schemes (including the number and locations of boreholes) of gassy soils based on the conditional random field and Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed method aims to provide an optimal investigation scheme before the site investigation based on prior knowledge. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated using a case study.
