The scope of the model test and the virtual simulation covers various installation stages including a series of positioning trials, positioning keeping and temporary mooring to the pre-installed SYMS mooring tower, pendulum mating, and yoke ballasting to storm-safe. The model test is to accurately verify bollard pull capacity to keep the FPSO in position and assess motion responses and mooring loads for the FPSO and installation vessels during various installation stages. The virtual simulation is to provide a virtual-reality environment, thus realistically replicating the hookup operation at the Simulation Test Center （STC） facility and identifying any deficiencies in key installation personnel, execution plan, or operation procedures. The methodologies of the model test and the virtual simulation addressed here can be easily extended to the deepwater applications such as positioning and installation operations of various floating systems.展开更多

文摘The bolted flange structure finds significant applications in fields such as aerospace,shipbuilding,and pipeline transportation.The investigation of its dynamic characteristics has consistently been a focal point for researchers;however,there remains a deficiency in the development of robust analytical models.This paper introduces a novel analytical model based on the finite element methods and the Timoshenko beam theory to accurately simulate the bolted flange structure.The stiffness,mass,damping,and inertia matrices of the rotor system are individually derived,and the dynamic equation is subsequently formulated.The model’s validity and accuracy are validated through both the experimental testing and the finite element analysis.This study aims to elucidate the relationship between the external loads and the influence of the geometric configuration on the stiffness and contact behavior of the bolted flange structure,thereby enabling a thorough and precise prediction of the static and dynamic load transfer pathways,as well as the distribution of vibrational energy within the structure,while also facilitating the incorporation of friction and slip effects.Simultaneously,this work provides a foundational framework for the optimization design of bolted flange structures,addressing the factors such as the number,size,and geometric distribution of bolts.

文摘Understanding the stress distribution derived from monitoring the principal stress(PS)in slopes is of great importance.In this study,a miniature sensor for quantifying the two-dimensional(2D)PS in landslide model tests is proposed.The fundamental principle and design of the sensor are demonstrated.The sensor comprises three earth pressure gages and one gyroscope,with the utilization of three-dimensional(3D)printing technology.The difficulties of installation location during model preparation and sensor rotation during testing can be effectively overcome using this sensor.Two different arrangements of the sensors are tested in verification tests.Additionally,the application of the sensor in an excavated-induced slope model is tested.The results demonstrate that the sensor exhibits commendable performance and achieves a desirable level of accuracy,with a principal stress angle error of±5°in the verification tests.The stress transformation of the slope model,generated by excavation,is demonstrated in the application test by monitoring the two miniature principal stress(MPS)sensors.The sensor has a significant potential for measuring primary stress in landslide model tests and other geotechnical model experiments.

文摘To ensure the operational safety of railways in the landslide-prone areas of mountainous regions,a large-scale model test and numerical simulation were conducted to study the bending moment distribution,internal force distribution,deformation development,and crack propagation characteristics of a framed anti-sliding structure(FAS)under landslide thrust up to the point of failure.Results show that the maximum bending moment and its increase rate in the fore pile are greater than those in the rear pile,with the maximum bending moment of the fore pile approximately 1.1 times that of the rear pile.When the FAS fails,the displacement at the top of the fore pile is significantly greater,about 1.27 times that of the rear pile in the experiment.Major cracks develop at locations corresponding to the peak bending moments.Small transverse cracks initially appear on the upper surface at the intersection between the primary beam and rear pile and then spread to the side of the structure.At the failure stage,major cracks are observed at the pil-beam intersections and near the anchor points.Strengthening flexural stiffness at intersections where major cracks occur can improve the overall thrust-deformation coordination of the FAS,thereby maximizing its performance.

文摘During fully mechanized caving mining of thick coal seams,a large amount of strain energy accumulates in the roof,especially when the roof is thick and hard,making it difficultfor the roof to collapse naturally.When the roof eventually collapses,the accumulated energy is released instantaneously,exerting a strong impact on the roadway.To address this issue,we proposed the synergistic control method of directional comprehensive pressure relief and energy-absorbing support(PREA)for roadways with hard roofs.In this study,we developed a three-dimensional physical model test apparatus for roof cutting and pressure relief.The 122108 ventilation roadway at the Caojiatan Coal Mine,which has a thick and hard roof,was taken as the engineering example.We analyzed the evolution patterns of stress and displacement in both the stope and the roadway surrounding rocks under different schemes.The PREA reinforcement mechanism for the roadway was investigated through comparative model tests between the new and original methods.The results showed that,compared to the original method,the new method reduced surrounding rock stress by up to 60.4%,and the roadway convergence decreased by up to 52.1%.Based on these results,we proposed corresponding engineering recommendations,which can guide fieldreinforcement design and application.The results demonstrate that the PREA method effectively reduces stress and ensures the safety and stability of the roadway.

文摘This paper presents a dynamic modeling method to test and examine the minimum mass of pressurized pore-gas for triggering landslides in stable gentle soil slopes.A stable gentle soil slope model is constructed with a dry cement powder core,a saturated clay middle layer,and a dry sand upper layer.The test injects H_(2)O_(2)solution into the cement core to produce new pore-gas.The model test includes three identical H_(2)O_(2)injections.The small mass of generated oxygen gas(0.07%of slope soil mass and landslide body)from the first injection can build sufficient pore-gas pressure to cause soil upheaval and slide.Meanwhile,despite the first injection causing leak paths in the clay layer,the generated small mass of gas from the second and third injections can further trigger the landslide.A dynamic theoretical analysis of the slope failure is carried out and the required minimum pore-gas pressure for the landslide is calculated.The mass and pressure of generated gas in the model test are also estimated based on the calibration test for oxygen generation from H_(2)O_(2)solution in cement powder.The results indicate that the minimum mass of the generated gas for triggering the landslide is 2 ppm to 0.07%of the landslide body.Furthermore,the small mass of gas can provide sufficient pressure to cause soil upheaval and soil sliding in dynamic analysis.

文摘The excavation of deep tunnels crossing faults is highly prone to triggering rockburst disasters,which has become a significant engineering issue.In this study,taking the fault-slip rockbursts from a deep tunnel in southwestern China as the engineering prototype,large-scale three-dimensional(3D)physical model tests were conducted on a 3D-printed complex geological model containing two faults.Based on the selfdeveloped 3D loading system and excavation device,the macroscopic failure of fault-slip rockbursts was simulated indoors.The stress,strain,and fracturing characteristics of the surrounding rock near the two faults were systematically evaluated during excavation and multistage loading.The test results effectively revealed the evolution and triggering mechanism of fault-slip rockbursts.After the excavation of a highstress tunnel,stress readjustment occurred.Owing to the presence of these two faults,stress continued to accumulate in the rock mass between them,leading to the accumulation of fractures.When the shear stress on a fault surface exceeded its shear strength,sudden fault slip and dislocation occurred,thus triggering rockbursts.Rockbursts occurred twice in the vault between the two faults,showing obvious intermittent characteristics.The rockburst pit was controlled by two faults.When the faults remained stable,tensile failure predominated in the surrounding rock.However,when the fault slip was triggered,shear failure in the surrounding rock increased.These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing the comprehension of fault-slip rockbursts.

文摘Structure-type rockbursts frequently occur in deep tunnels,with structural planes and stress conditions being critical factors in their formation.In this study,we utilized specially developed analogous materials that exhibit the high brittleness and strength characteristics of deep hard rock to construct physical models representing different types of structural planes,including composite,exposed,non-exposed,and throughgoing structural planes.Physical simulation experiments were conducted on structuretype rockbursts in deep horseshoe-shaped tunnels,focusing on strain differentiation characteristics,critical triggering conditions,critical crack opening displacement,the incubation process,the reduction effects of structural planes on failure intensity,and formation mechanisms.These experiments were complemented by acoustic and optical monitoring,as well as discrete element numerical simulations,to provide a comprehensive analysis.The results revealed that the most significant strain heterogeneity in the surrounding rock occurs at the tip of the structural plane along the tunnel's minimum principal stress direction,driven by the combined effects of tensile and shear forces.We quantitatively determined the critical stress and strain conditions for structure-type rockbursts and evaluated the intensity of rockbursts induced by different structural planes using critical crack opening displacement(COD)values,the uniformity coefficient,and the curvature coefficient.Analysis of acoustic emission events,including frequency,amplitude,and b-value,indicated that the macro-fracture process is governed by both the principal stress differential and the characteristics of the structural plane.Furthermore,using the bearing capacity reduction coefficient,we found that exposed structural planes have the most significant weakening effect on rock mass strength,followed by non-exposed and throughgoing structural planes.The analysis of average frequency(AF)and rise angle(RA)parameters revealed a close correlation between the failure modes of structure-type rockbursts,the rock mass structure,and the stress levels.These findings provide critical theoretical support for the prediction and prevention of structure-type rockburst disasters.

文摘In the physical model test of landslides,the selection of analogous materials is the key,and it is difficult to consider the similarity of mechanical properties and seepage performance at the same time.To develop a model material suitable for analysing the deformation and failure of reservoir landslides,based on the existing research foundation of analogous materials,5 materials and 5 physical-mechanical parameters were selected to design an orthogonal test.The factor sensitivity of each component ratio and its influence on the physical-mechanical indices were studied by range analysis and stepwise regression analysis,and the proportioning method was determined.Finally,the model material was developed,and a model test was carried out considering Huangtupo as the prototype application.The results showed that(1)the model material composed of sand,barite powder,glass beads,clay,and bentonite had a wide distribution of physical-mechanical parameters,which could be applied to model tests under different conditions;(2)the physical-mechanical parameters of analogous materials matched the application prototype;and(3)the mechanical properties and seepage performance of the model material sample met the requirements of reservoir landslide model tests,which could be used to simulate landslide evolution and analyse the deformation process.

文摘Seismicity resulting from the near-or in-field fault activation significantly affects the stability of large-scale underground caverns that are operating under high-stress conditions.A comprehensive scientific assessment of the operational safety of such caverns requires an in-depth understanding of the response characteristics of the rock mass subjected to dynamic disturbances.To address this issue,we conducted true triaxial modeling tests and dynamic numerical simulations on large underground caverns to investigate the impact of static stress levels,dynamic load parameters,and input directions on the response characteristics of the surrounding rock mass.The findings reveal that:(1)When subjected to identical incident stress waves and static loads,the surrounding rock mass exhibits the greatest stress response during horizontal incidence.When the incident direction is fixed,the mechanical response is more pronounced at the cavern wall parallel to the direction of dynamic loading.(2)A high initial static stress level specifically enhances the impact of dynamic loading.(3)The response of the surrounding rock mass is directly linked to the amplitude of the incident stress wave.High amplitude results in tensile damage in regions experiencing tensile stress concentration under static loading and shear damage in regions experiencing compressive stress concentration.These results have significant implications for the evaluation and prevention of dynamic disasters in the surrounding rock of underground caverns experiencing dynamic disturbances.

文摘Shield tunneling in saturated ground poses challenges due to the potential risk of ground collapse resulting from seepage force and inadequate support pressure.This study employed a laboratory model test and a theoretical validation to elucidate the mechanisms of face failure and subsequent ground collapse in saturated ground during slurry pressure-balanced shield(SPBS)tunneling operations.A slurry circulation system was developed to ensure steady shield tunneling and to replicate the phenomena of ground collapse.Investigations into shield tunneling parameters and ground responses,including soil pressure,pore water pressure,and surface subsidence,were conducted to understand the mechanisms of face failure and subsequent ground collapse.The theoretical solution for the critical collapse pressure of the tunnel face,based on the rotational failure mechanism,was validated through the comparison with the experimentally determined critical collapse pressure.The results indicate that:(1)appropriate adjustments of tunneling parameters are crucial for promoting filtercake formation,maintaining chamber pressure,and minimizing ground subsidence;(2)chamber pressure,soil pressure,pore water pressure,and ground subsidence are closely correlated with shield tunneling parameters and the formation of filter cake;(3)ground collapse follows a continuous failure mode due to the destruction of filtercake and the decrease in chamber pressure;(4)the soil pressure at the cutterhead is more sensitive to disturbances from shield tunneling than chamber pressure;and(5)experimentally determined critical collapse pressures is consistent with the theoretical solution of limit analysis.

文摘Water-sand gushing(WSG)disasters in confinedaquifers pose significantchallenges to the utilization of deep underground spaces in soft soil areas.Since few studies have considered the impact of confined aquifer thickness and confinedwater pressure on WSG disasters,a novel visual model test system was developed to investigate the influencingcharacteristics and mechanisms of the two aforementioned factors.The test results showed that the WSG process in clay aquiclude-confinedaquifer composite strata exhibits two prominent stages.First,the sand loss zone expands vertically in an ellipsoid shape.Then,it expands horizontally once the ellipsoid reaches the boundary of the clay layer.The sand loss continues until the overlying clay sinks to the bottom to clog the gushing crack,creating a large sinkhole at the surface.Increasing the confinedaquifer thickness can increase the vertical expansion of the ellipsoid and delay the clay-clogging effects,thereby considerably increasing the severity of sand loss,stratum deformation,and surface settlement.An increase in the confinedwater pressure markedly increases the hydraulic gradient along the seepage path,which contributes to increasing the gushing rates of water and sand.As a result,substantial sand loss occurs before the clay clogs the gushing crack,inducing more cracks and deeper sinkholes at the surface.All the aforementioned results provide insights into the effects of confinedaquifer on WSG disasters in clay aquiclude-confinedaquifer composite strata.

文摘This paper describes the model test and the virtual simulation respectively for the VLCC class FPSO hookup, as well as addresses their different applications to the mating operation between the FPSO and the soft yoke mooring system （SYMS） in extremely shallow water. The scope of the model test and the virtual simulation covers various installation stages including a series of positioning trials, positioning keeping and temporary mooring to the pre-installed SYMS mooring tower, pendulum mating, and yoke ballasting to storm-safe. The model test is to accurately verify bollard pull capacity to keep the FPSO in position and assess motion responses and mooring loads for the FPSO and installation vessels during various installation stages. The virtual simulation is to provide a virtual-reality environment, thus realistically replicating the hookup operation at the Simulation Test Center （STC） facility and identifying any deficiencies in key installation personnel, execution plan, or operation procedures. The methodologies of the model test and the virtual simulation addressed here can be easily extended to the deepwater applications such as positioning and installation operations of various floating systems.

文摘Automatically formed roadway(AFR)by roof cutting with bolt grouting(RCBG)is a new deep coal mining technology.By using this technology,the broken roadway roof is strengthened,and roof cutting is applied to cut off stress transfer between the roadway and gob to ensure the collapse of the overlying strata.The roadway is automatically formed owing to the broken expansion characteristics of the collapsed strata and mining pressure.Taking the Suncun Coal Mine as the engineering background,the control effect of this new technology on roadways was studied.To compare the law of stress evolution and the surrounding rock control mechanisms between AFR and traditional gob-side entry driving,a comparative study of geomechanical model tests on the above methods was carried out.The results showed that the new technology of AFR by RCBG effectively reduced the stress concentration of the roadway compared with gob-side entry driving.The side abutment pressure peak of the solid coal side was reduced by 24.3%,which showed an obvious pressure-releasing effect.Moreover,the position of the side abutment pressure peak was far from the solid coal side,making it more beneficial for roadway stability.The deformation of AFR surrounding rock was also smaller than the deformation of the gob-side entry driving by the overload test.The former was more beneficial for roadway stability than the latter under higher stress conditions.Field application tests showed that the new technology can effectively control roadway deformation.Moreover,the technology reduced roadway excavation and avoided resource waste caused by reserved coal pillars.
