This study established, a comprehensive monitoring system to investigate the interrelations and evolutionary characteristics among multiple mechanical parameters, including mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events during overburden rock caving. It is suggested that, despite the uniformity of the overburden rock caving interval, the main characteristic of overburden rock lies in its uneven caving strength. The mining-induced stress exhibits a reasonable interrelation with the displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events of the rock strata. With the advancement of the coal seam, the mining-induced stress undergoes four successive stages: gentle stability, gradual accumulation, high-level mutation, and a return to stability. The variations in other mechanical parameters does not synchronize with the signifcant changes in mining-induced stress. Before the collapse of overburden rock occurs, rock strata temperature increment decreases and the acoustic emission ringing counts surges with the increase of rock strata displacement and mining-induced stress. Therefore, the collaborative characteristics of mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission ringing counts can be identifed as the precursor information or overburden rock caving. These results are in good consistent with on-site situation in the coal mine.展开更多

Test and analysis results indicate that, ultrasonic wave velocity rapidly changes in the temperature range of-1 ℃ to -5 ℃. Ultrasonic wave velocity increased with an increase of water content until the water content reached the critical water content, while decreased with an increase of water content after the water content exceeded the critical water content. This study showed that there was strong positive correlation between the ul- trasonic wave velocity and the frozen soil strength. As ultrasonic wave velocity increased, either tensile strength or com- pressive strength increased. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between ultrasonic wave velocity and frozen silty clay strength was obtained through regression analysis. It was found that the ultrasonic test technique can be used to test frozen soils and lay the foundation for the determination of frozen soil strength.展开更多

Then based on the artificial intelligent technology, the intelligent prediction systems for nine meso-level mechanical parameters of PFC models were obtained by creating, training and testing the prediction models with the set of data got from the orthogonal tests. Lastly the prediction systems were used to predict the meso-level mechanical parameters of one kind of sandy mudstone, and according to the predicted results the macroscopic properties of the rock were obtained by numerical tests. The maximum relative error between the numerical test results and real rock properties is 3.28% which satisfies the precision requirement in engineering. It shows that this paper provides a fast and accurate method for the determination of meso-level mechanical parameters of PFC models.展开更多

The dialytic method along with Denavit-Hartenberg parameters can be used to obtain these equations efficiently. A genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to solve the problem of spatial mechanisms synthesis. Two types of mechanisms, e.g., RSCR and RSPC (R: revolute; S: spherical; C: cylindrical; P: prismatic), have illustrated the application of the GA to solve the problem of function generation and path generation. In some cases, the GA method becomes trapped in a local minimum. A combined GA-fuzzy logic (GA-FL) method is then used to improve the final result. The results show that GAs, combined with an adequate description of the mechanism, are well suited for spatial mechanism synthesis problems and have neither difficulties inherent to the choice of the initial feasible guess, nor a problem of convergence, as it is the case for deterministic methods.展开更多

This study established, a comprehensive monitoring system to investigate the interrelations and evolutionary characteristics among multiple mechanical parameters, including mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events during overburden rock caving. It is suggested that, despite the uniformity of the overburden rock caving interval, the main characteristic of overburden rock lies in its uneven caving strength. The mining-induced stress exhibits a reasonable interrelation with the displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission events of the rock strata. With the advancement of the coal seam, the mining-induced stress undergoes four successive stages: gentle stability, gradual accumulation, high-level mutation, and a return to stability. The variations in other mechanical parameters does not synchronize with the signifcant changes in mining-induced stress. Before the collapse of overburden rock occurs, rock strata temperature increment decreases and the acoustic emission ringing counts surges with the increase of rock strata displacement and mining-induced stress. Therefore, the collaborative characteristics of mining-induced stress, displacement, temperature, and acoustic emission ringing counts can be identifed as the precursor information or overburden rock caving. These results are in good consistent with on-site situation in the coal mine.

Ultrasonic wave velocity increased with an increase of water content until the water content reached the critical water content, while decreased with an increase of water content after the water content exceeded the critical water content. This study showed that there was strong positive correlation between the ul- trasonic wave velocity and the frozen soil strength. As ultrasonic wave velocity increased, either tensile strength or com- pressive strength increased. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between ultrasonic wave velocity and frozen silty clay strength was obtained through regression analysis. It was found that the ultrasonic test technique can be used to test frozen soils and lay the foundation for the determination of frozen soil strength.

摘要To solve the problems of blindness and inefficiency existing in the determination of meso-level mechanical parameters of particle flow code (PFC) models, we firstly designed and numerically carried out orthogonal tests on rock samples to investigate the correlations between macro-and meso-level mechanical parameters of rock-like bonded granular materials. Then based on the artificial intelligent technology, the intelligent prediction systems for nine meso-level mechanical parameters of PFC models were obtained by creating, training and testing the prediction models with the set of data got from the orthogonal tests. Lastly the prediction systems were used to predict the meso-level mechanical parameters of one kind of sandy mudstone, and according to the predicted results the macroscopic properties of the rock were obtained by numerical tests. The maximum relative error between the numerical test results and real rock properties is 3.28% which satisfies the precision requirement in engineering. It shows that this paper provides a fast and accurate method for the determination of meso-level mechanical parameters of PFC models.

摘要In this work, a systematic approach is presented to obtain the input-output equations of a single loop 4-bar spatial mechanisms. The dialytic method along with Denavit-Hartenberg parameters can be used to obtain these equations efficiently. A genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to solve the problem of spatial mechanisms synthesis. Two types of mechanisms, e.g., RSCR and RSPC (R: revolute; S: spherical; C: cylindrical; P: prismatic), have illustrated the application of the GA to solve the problem of function generation and path generation. In some cases, the GA method becomes trapped in a local minimum. A combined GA-fuzzy logic (GA-FL) method is then used to improve the final result. The results show that GAs, combined with an adequate description of the mechanism, are well suited for spatial mechanism synthesis problems and have neither difficulties inherent to the choice of the initial feasible guess, nor a problem of convergence, as it is the case for deterministic methods.

摘要Because of complexity and non-predictability of the tunnel surrounding rock,the problem with the determination of the physical and mechanical parameters of the surrounding rock has become a main obstacle to theoretical research and numerical analysis in tunnel engineering.During design,it is a frequent practice,therefore,to give recommended values by analog based on experience.It is a key point in current research to make use of the displacement back analytic method to comparatively accurately determine the parameters of the surrounding rock whereas artificial intelligence possesses an exceptionally strong capability of identifying,expressing and coping with such complex non-linear relationships.The parameters can be verified by searching the optimal network structure,using back analysis on measured data to search optimal parameters and performing direct computation of the obtained results.In the current paper,the direct analysis is performed with the biological emulation system and the software of Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua(FLAC3D.The high non-linearity,network reasoning and coupling ability of the neural network are employed.The output vector required of the training of the neural network is obtained with the numerical analysis software.And the overall space search is conducted by employing the Adaptive Immunity Algorithm.As a result,we are able to avoid the shortcoming that multiple parameters and optimized parameters are easy to fall into a local extremum.At the same time,the computing speed and efficiency are increased as well.Further,in the paper satisfactory conclusions are arrived at through the intelligent direct-back analysis on the monitored and measured data at the Erdaoya tunneling project.The results show that the physical and mechanical parameters obtained by the intelligent direct-back analysis proposed in the current paper have effectively improved the recommended values in the original prospecting data.This is of practical significance to the appraisal of stability and informationization design of the surrounding rock.

摘要A series of acoustic emission(AE)-integrated conventional triaxial compression tests(CTTs)were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of hard red sandstone.Under conventional triaxial stress states,the crack closure stress,crack initiation stress,and damage stress ranged in 13.75%-22.34%,31.84%-42.19%,and 63.85%-75.93%of the peak strength of sandstone,respectively.The AE parameters reflected the confining pressure(σ3)effect on microcrack propagation,withσ3=5 MPa identified as the threshold affecting both the timing of numerous AE hits and the distribution range of peak frequencies of AE signals before the final failure of each specimen.The AE property analysis showed that shear cracks played a dominant role in rock failure in CCTs,which ranged in 60%-85%of the total number of cracks.A smallerσ3 value promoted shear failure,whereas a largerσ3 value inhibited it.Furthermore,the appropriate dataset selection range to accurately calculate the cohesion force and internal friction angle in CTTs and variable-angle shear tests was determined.

摘要Focused ultrasound(FUS)therapy generates sufficient heat for medical interventions like tumor ablation by concentrating energy at the focal point.The complex viscoelastic properties of biological tissues pose challenges in balancing focusing precision and penetration depth,impacting the safety of surrounding tissues and treatment efficacy.This study develops an acoustic-solid-thermal coupling computational model to elucidate the dynamic mechanical response and energy dissipation mechanisms of soft tissue during FUS thermal therapy using a hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model.Results indicate that the high compressibility and low shear resistance of biological tissues result in a unique shear dissipation mechanism.Energy dissipation efficiency per area is indirectly influenced by load frequency via its effect on the dynamic shear modulus and is directly proportional to load amplitude.Focusing precision,represented by the focal zone width,is inversely controlled by frequency via wavelength.A mathematical model for evaluating temperature rise efficiency is proposed,and an optimal frequency for efficient FUS thermal therapy in brain-like soft materials is identified.This research elucidates the link between viscoelastic tissue behavior and FUS treatment outcomes,offering insights for optimizing FUS applications in various medical fields.

摘要With the advancement of unconventional oil and gas exploration and development,tight gravelly sandstone reservoirs have garnered increasing attention.In this study,triaxial compression experiments are conducted on gravelly sandstone cores,and correlation analysis is employed to establish the relationships between fractal dimensions of the fractures and rock mechanics parameters.For cores of gravelly sandstone,a positive correlation exists between the fractal dimension and the brittleness index.The prediction model reveals that the error between the predicted and actual values for well 3 is relatively large,which can be attributed to the presence of pure sandstone cores in well 3.Under high confining pressure in the deep strata,rocks exhibit a decreasing trend in fractal dimensions,a phenomenon due to the stress-memory effect.In addition,numerical simulation is further employed to study the effect of the factors that could affect the complexity of the fractures,and the results show that the fractal dimension of gravelly sandstone declines with increasing confining pressure,peak compressive strength,and rock elastic modulus as the loading process intensifies.

摘要The seepage characteristics of shale reservoirs are influenced not only by multi-field coupling effects such as stress field,temperature field,and seepage field but also exhibit evident creep characteristics during oil and gas exploitation.The complex fluid flow in such reservoirs is analyzed using a combination of theoretical modeling and numerical simulation.This study develops a comprehensive mathematical model that integrates the impact of creep on the seepage process,with consideration of factors including stress,strain,and time-dependent deformation.The model is validated through a series of numerical experiments,which demonstrate the significant influence of creep on the seepage behavior.The results indicate that the rock mechanical parameters and creep constitutive model were determined through triaxial compression tests and uniaxial creep tests.A creep-seepage coupling control equation for shale was established based on the Burgers creep model.The absolute value of the volumetric strain of shale increases rapidly in the initial creep stage,and the increase in vertical stress accelerates the rock’s creep deformation.During the deceleration creep stage,the volumetric strain of the reservoir increases rapidly,leading to a significant decrease in permeability.In the stable creep stage,the pores and fractures in the rock are further compressed,causing a gradual reduction in permeability,which eventually stabilizes.

摘要Determination of rock mechanical parameters is the most important step in rock mass quality evaluation and has significant impacts on geotechnical engineering practice.Rock mass integrity coefficient(KV)is one of the most efficient parameters,which is conventionally determined from boreholes.Such approaches,however,are time-consuming and expensive,offer low data coverage of point measurements,require heavy equipment,and are hardly conducted in steep topographic sites.Hence,borehole approaches cannot assess the subsurface thoroughly for rock mass quality evaluation.Alternatively,use of geophysical methods is non-invasive,rapid and economical.The proposed geophysical approach makes useful empirical correlation between geophysical and geotechnical parameters.We evaluated the rock mass quality via integration between KV measured from the limited boreholes and inverted resistivity obtained from electrical resistivity tomography(ERT).The borehole-ERT correlation provided KV along various geophysical profiles for more detailed 2D/3D(two-hree-dimensional)mapping of rock mass quality.The subsurface was thoroughly evaluated for rock masses with different engineering qualities,including highly weathered rock,semi-weathered rock,and fresh rock.Furthermore,ERT was integrated with induced polarization(IP)to resolve the uncertainty caused by water/clay content.Our results show that the proposed method,compared with the conventional approaches,can reduce the ambiguities caused by inadequate data,and give more accurate insights into the subsurface for rock mass quality evaluation.

摘要Shale mechanical properties are important for shale gas production,but the magnitudes are difficult to estimate,standard size cores are hard to sample,and secondary interstice generation is inevitable.This paper proposes a method for determining shale macroscale modulus,which is determined at a hierarchy of scales from the nano-to macro-scales.Microscale measurements are upscaled to estimate the corresponding magnitudes at the macroscale.A case study is conducted with Silurian shale samples,using the hierarchy scales,gridding nanoindentation,atomic force microscopy(AFM),mineral liberation analysis(MLA),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and uniaxial compression tests.The mineral compositions are analyzed using MLA and XRD,and the shale composition is described in terms of clay minerals,organic matter,and siliceous and carbonate contents.The variation in the Young’s modulus is analyzed based on the recorded indentation depth curves and modulus distributions.The nanoindentation and AFM results are upscaled to the centimeter scale through the Mori-Tanaka method.The upscaled results exhibit satisfactory fitting with the conventional uniaxial compression results,although the fitting of the upscaled AFM results is better than nanoindentation.The proposed approach can be applied to promptly and comprehensively predict the shale mechanical parameters during shale gas exploration.

摘要The grout-rock interfacial property is one of the key factors associated with the strength of grouted rock masses.In this study,direct shear tests and nanoindentation tests were adopted to investigate the mechanical properties of the grout-rock interface at both the macroscale and microscale.The cohesion of the cement specimens was higher than that of the grout-infilled joint specimens,while their internal friction angle was lower than that of the grout-infilled joint specimens.A“separation method”for identifying the different phases according to the qualitative and quantitative estimations was introduced,and the irregular interfacial transition zone(ITZ)thickness and elastic modulus were estimated.The ITZ thickness of the grout-infilled sandstone specimen ranged from 0 to 30μm,whereas it was within the range of 10-40μm for the grout-infilled mudstone specimen.The average elastic modulus of the ITZ in grout-infilled sandstone and mudstone specimens was approximately 58.2%and 54.1%lower than that of the bulk grout,respectively.Regarding the incidence of the rock type,the interlacing between the grout and sandstone was better developed.The ITZ with a higher porosity and lower modulus had a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the grout-infilled specimens.

摘要Taking the test stopes during continuous mining induced roof caving of Tongkeng ore-body No.92 as example, the calculation flow of unloading analysis was established. According to the unloading region division method of the affected zone theory, and the deterioration laws of mechanics parameters of unloading rock mass, the continuous mining process in underground mine was analyzed by the software MIDAS/GTS, the mechanical response of roof rock mass unloading was studied, and the differences were analyzed with the conventional simulation. The result shows that the maximum tensile stress, subsidence displacement and equivalent plastic strain of roof rock mass are 1.5 MPa, 20 cm and 1.5% in the unloading analysis, while 1.0 MPa, 13 cm and 0.9% in the conventional analysis. The values of unloading analysis, which are also closer to the actual situation, are greater than those of conventional analysis; the maximum step in continuous mining is 48 m, which shows that the induced treatment of the roof should be carried out after 2 mining steps
