A coupling method for soil structure interaction problems     

M. Souli  I. Shahrour 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2013,37(9):1140-1153

This paper describes a soil‐structure coupling method to simulate blast loading in soil and structure response. For the last decade, simulation of soil behavior under blast loading and its interaction with semi buried structure in soil becomes the focus of computational engineering in civil and mechanical engineering communities. In current design practice, soil‐structure interaction analysis often assumes linear elastic properties of the soil and uses small displacement theory. However, there are numerous problems, which require a more advanced approach that account for soil‐structure interaction and appropriate constitutive models for soil. In simplified approaches, the effect of soil on structure is considered using spring‐dashpot‐mass system, and the blast loading is modeled using linearly decaying pressure–time history based on equivalent trinitrotoluene and standoff distance, using ConWep, a computer program based on semi‐empirical equations. This strategy is very efficient from a CPU time computing point of view but may not provide accurate results for the dynamic response of the structure, because of its significant limitations, mainly when soil behavior is strongly nonlinear and when the buried charge is close to the structure. In this paper, both soil and explosive are modeled using solid elements with a constitutive material law for soil, and a Jones–Wilkins–Lee equation of state for explosive. One of the problems we have encountered when solving fluid structure interaction problems is the high mesh distortion at the contact interface because of high fluid nodal displacements and velocities. Similar problems have been encountered in soil structure interaction problems. To prevent high mesh distortion for soil, a new coupling algorithm is performed at the soil structure interface for structure loading. The coupling method is commonly used for fluid structure interaction problems in automotive and aerospace industry for fuel sloshing tank, and bird impact problems, but rarely used for soil structure interaction problems, where Lagrangian contact type algorithms are still dominant.

Elastic fields in two joined transversely isotropic media of infinite extent as a result of rectangular loading     

H. T. Xiao  Z. Q. Yue 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2013,37(3):247-277

This paper presents the closed‐form solutions for the elastic fields in two bonded rocks induced by rectangular loadings. Each of the two bonded rocks behaves as a transversely isotropic linear elastic solid of semi‐infinite extent. They are completely bonded together at a horizontal surface. The rectangular loadings are body forces along either vertical or horizontal directions and are uniformly applied on a rectangular area. The rectangular area is embedded in the two bonded rocks and is parallel to the horizontal interface. The classical integral transforms are used in the solution formulation, and the elastic solutions are expressed in the forms of elementary harmonic functions for the rectangular loadings. The stresses and displacements in the rocks induced by both the horizontal and vertical body forces are also presented. The numerical results illustrate the important effect of the anisotropic bimaterial properties on the stress and displacement fields. The solutions can be easily implemented for numerical calculations and applied to problems encountered in rock mechanics and engineering. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Nonlinear analysis of laterally loaded rigid piles in cohesive soil     

Lianyang Zhang  Saeed Ahmari 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2013,37(2):201-220

This article presents a method for the nonlinear analysis of laterally loaded rigid piles in cohesive soil. The method considers the force and the moment equilibrium to derive the system equations for a rigid pile under a lateral eccentric load. The system equations are then solved using an iteration scheme to obtain the response of the pile. The method considers the nonlinear variation of the ultimate lateral soil resistance with depth and uses a new closed‐form expression proposed in this article to determine the lateral bearing factor. The method also considers the horizontal shear resistance at the pile base, and a bilinear relationship between the shear resistance and the displacement is used. For simplicity, the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction is assumed to be constant with depth, which is applicable to piles in overconsolidated clay. The nonlinearity of the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction with pile displacement at ground surface is also considered. The validity of the developed method is demonstrated by comparing its results with those of 3D finite element analysis. The applications of the developed method to analyze five field test piles also show good agreement between the predictions and the experimental results. The developed method offers an alternative approach for simple and effective analysis of laterally loaded rigid piles in cohesive soil. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

An Examination of Behavior and Hazards Faced by Physically Disabled People During the Loma Prieta Earthquake     

Mansour Rahimi 《Natural Hazards》1993,7(1):59-82

There is a need to study hazards faced by physically disabled people during earthquakes. A literature review showed the importance of occupant behavior as a factor that contributes to casualty during earthquakes. A survey questionnaire was used to study the behavioral responses of 33 disabled residents, none of whom sustained injury, during the Loma Prieta earthquake of 17 October 1989. An occupant risk analysis methodology was developed to study the sequence of activities of the disabled people. Severe restrictions in the physical capabilities of the respondents did not appear to increase their exposure to hazards. Overall, the physically disabled occupants did not think of themselves as vulnerable, and those who felt vulnerable initiated self-protective action in response to the hazards present in their immediate surroundings.  相似文献   

The frictional behavior of lizardite and antigorite serpentinites: Experiments,constitutive models,and implications for natural faults   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Laboratory studies of the frictional behavior of rocks can provide important information about the strength and sliding stability of natural faults. We have conducted friction experiments on antigorite and lizardite serpentinites, rocks common to both continental and oceanic crustal faults. We conducted both velocity-step tests and timed-hold tests on bare surfaces and gouge layers of serpentinite at room temperature. We find that the coefficient of friction of lizardite serpentinite is quite low (0.15–0.35) and could explain the apparent low stresses observed on crustal transform faults, while that of antigorite serpentinite is comparable to other crustal rocks (0.50–0.85). The frictional behavior of both types of serpentinite is well described by a two-mechanism model combining state-variable-dominated behavior at high slip velocities and flow-dominated behavior at low velocities. The two-mechanism model is supported by data from velocity-step tests and timed-hold tests. The low velocity behavior of serpentinite is strongly rate strengthening and should result in stable fault creep on natural faults containing either antigorite or lizardite serpentinite.  相似文献

地震前虎皮鹦鹉(Melopsittacus undelafus L.)叫声的模式识别     

陈浩  徐慕玲  张弘  蒋锦昌 《地震研究》1991,(4)

近年来,我国多数地震动物观察站(SAOS)监测虎皮鹦鹉(BG=budegerigar)的叫声频度与地震的关系,并取得了一些观测结果。但是,所用的声记录仪未能考虑BG叫声的声学特性,而不能分辨BG不同的叫声和进一步提取震兆性叫声模式(EPCP),并易受到环境噪声的干扰而产生误计数。 据此,分析了BG不同声行为叫声的声学特性。BG叫声大致上可分为单次叫声(SC)、变音调叫声(VTC)、单音节和多音节抗议叫声(MoSPC和MuSPC)。由此,进一步研制了它们的模式识别系统。该系统是以单片机为核心的微处理机,对BG叫声进行预处理、编码、分析、显示和打印输出。 观察结果表明,在高声场旅游飞机噪声(TAN)干扰下,该系统的BG叫声识别率(CRR)为66.7％,而对TAN没有误计数。在含10次不同声强的TAN干扰(432秒)的30分钟内,该系统记录了588次叫声(SC、VTC、MoSPC和SPC分别为377、22、20和169次),仅丢失65次叫声,其CRR平均为90％。但是,SAOS目前使用的声记录仪,这10次TAN干扰所产生的误计数可能约为BGU叫声的2.6—13倍。 由此可见,这种模式识别系统不仅可满足于BG不同叫声的识别,且具有良好的抗噪声功能。这就使之可为地震前BG声行为观测提供更有用的信息。不仅可给出BG叫声频度的昼夜节律变化与地震的关系,并可为揭示BG的EPCP提供一定的依据。  相似文献

Transient loading-related settlement of a square foundation on geogrid-reinforced sand     

B. M. Das  A. Maji 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》1994,12(4):241-251

Summary Laboratory model test results are presented that determine the effectiveness of using layers of geogrids as reinforcement in sand to reduce the settlement of square surface foundations subjected to transient loading. The model tests were conducted with only one type of geogrid at one relative density of compaction of sand. The maximum intensity of the transient load applied always exceeded the static ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation when supported by unreinforced sand. The settlement reduction factors for various depths of reinforcement have been determined.  相似文献
