The transfer and evolution of stress among rock blocks directly change the void ratios of crushed rock masses and affect the flow of methane in coal mine gobs. In this study, a Lagrange framework and a discrete element method, along with the soft-sphere model and EDEM numerical software, were used. The compaction processes of rock blocks with diameters of 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 m were simulated with the degrees of compression set at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. This study examines the influence of stress on void ratios of compacted crushed rock masses in coal mine gobs. The results showed that stress was mainly transmitted downward through strong force chains. As the degree of compression increased, the strong force chains extended downward, which resulted in the stress at the upper rock mass to become significantly higher than that at the lower rock mass. It was determined that under different degrees of compression, the rock mass of coal mine gobs could be divided, from the bottom to the top, into a lower insufficient compression zone (ICZ) and an upper sufficient compression zone (SCZ). From bottom to top, the void ratios in the ICZ sharply decreased and those in the SCZ slowly decreased. Void ratios in the ICZ were 1.2–1.7 times higher than those in the SCZ.

超过三分之二的地壳岩石是由来自深部的岩浆作用形成,岩浆岩记录的信息是深时数字地球(Deep-time Digital Earth,DDE)特别是深部过程研究的重要载体。岩浆岩分布范围广,样品众多,分析、定年相对方便和精确,易于数据累积。在过去的十多年,全球科学家建立了EarthChem、GEOROC、DataView等多个优秀的岩浆岩数据库。随着大数据时代的到来,地球科学也在经历向地球系统科学的重大转变。如何进一步整合分散在研究机构和个人手中的越来越多的数据,建立能服务大数据和人工智能方法的数据平台,推动地球科学研究由理论驱动的传统因果推理方法向数据驱动的大数据方法转变,是新的很有希望的突破点。文章系统介绍了目前国内外已有的岩浆岩相关数据库及其运行情况,为未来DDE计划整合全球海量岩浆岩数据,建设开放、共享、统一的大数据平台提供经验和基础。同时,也列举了以岩浆岩大数据驱动的科学研究的典型实例,并结合DDE相关任务,对利用岩浆岩大数据和人工智能进一步解决四维地球深部圈层物质构成、交换与动力学这一关键科学问题提出新的展望。 相似文献
