Total loads modeling and geological adaptability analysis for mixed soil-rock tunnel boring machines

Rock-soil interface mixed ground(RSI)is often encountered in tunnel construction.The excavation loads of tunnel boring machines(TBMs)are controlled by the interaction characteristics between TBM and rock/soil layers.The different properties of rock and soil cause the varying interaction range and stress distribution.Currently,there have been several studies available to estimate excavation loads under RSI,and the conclusion is that the total loads increase with increasing the rock layer proportion in the excavation face.However,the previous studies cannot take the difference of rock/soil properties into account,except for the calculation of cutters loads.Therefore,the interaction characteristics between RSI and TBM is unclear.This paper analyzes the interaction characteristics between TBM’s main components and complex geological conditions(e.g.,layered soil,layered rock,and RSI condition).A model is proposed to calculate the total thrust and total torque assuming quasi-static equilibrium of the tunneling equipment.The rationality and applicability of the model are discussed and verified by two typical projects.Furthermore,the geological adaptability is discussed in terms of the excavation difficulty and the matching relationship between total torque and total thrust.The results indicate that when the rock layer proportion in the excavation face increases,the reduction of overall extrusion and friction loads is 1.5 times higher than the increase of disc cutters breaking load.The total loads and the ratio of the total torque to total thrust decrease approximately linearly.There is a power function relationship between the excavation difficulty index and the penetration depth.The results of this study provide an important reference for the total loads design of equipment propulsion systems and the parameter adjustment during tunnel construction.

Regularized least-squares migration of simultaneous-source seismic data with adaptive singular spectrum analysis

Simultaneous-source acquisition has been recog- nized as an economic and efficient acquisition method, but the direct imaging of the simultaneous-source data produces migration artifacts because of the interference of adjacent sources. To overcome this problem, we propose the regularized least-squares reverse time migration method （RLSRTM） using the singular spectrum analysis technique that imposes sparseness constraints on the inverted model. Additionally, the difference spectrum theory of singular values is presented so that RLSRTM can be implemented adaptively to eliminate the migration artifacts. With numerical tests on a fiat layer model and a Marmousi model, we validate the superior imaging quality, efficiency and convergence of RLSRTM compared with LSRTM when dealing with simultaneoussource data, incomplete data and noisy data.

h-ADAPTIVITY ANALYSIS BASED ON MULTIPLE SCALE REPRODUCING KERNEL PARTICLE METHOD

An h-adaptivity analysis scheme based on multiple scale reproducing kernel particle method was proposed, and two node refinement strategies were constructed using searching-neighbor-nodes（SNN） and local-Delaunay-triangulation（LDT） techniques, which were suitable and effective for h-adaptivity analysis on 2-D problems with the regular or irregular distribution of the nodes. The results of multiresolution and h- adaptivity analyses on 2-D linear elastostatics and bending plate problems demonstrate that the improper high-gradient indicator will reduce the convergence property of the h- adaptivity analysis, and that the efficiency of the LDT node refinement strategy is better than SNN, and that the presented h-adaptivity analysis scheme is provided with the validity, stability and good convergence property.

h-ADAPTIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON MESHLESS LOCAL PETROV-G ALERKIN METHOD WITH B SPLINE WAVELET FOR PLATES AND SHELLS

Using the two-scale decomposition technique, the h-adaptive meshless local Petrov- Galerkin method for solving Mindlin plate and shell problems is presented. The scaling functions of B spline wavelet are employed as the basis of the moving least square method to construct the meshless interpolation function. Multi-resolution analysis is used to decompose the field variables into high and low scales and the high scale component can commonly represent the gradient of the solution according to inherent characteristics of wavelets. The high scale component in the present method can directly detect high gradient regions of the field variables. The developed adaptive refinement scheme has been applied to simulate actual examples, and the effectiveness of the present adaptive refinement scheme has been verified.

Adaptive FEM Analysis of the Temperature Field of Pistons in Diesel Engines and Their Thermal Stress and Deformation Calculation

The adaptive FEM analysis of the temperature field of the piston in one diesel engine is given by using the ANSYS software. By making full use of the post results provided by the software, the posteriori error estimation and adaptive accuracy meshing algorithm is developed. So the blindness of the mesh design through experiences can be avoided, and the accuracy requirement is adapted to the relative temperature gradient distribution across the entire domain. Therefore the meshes and solutions can be obtained at the same time. Based on the temperature field analysis, the thermal stress and deformation fields are calculated as well. The results show that the stress concentrates on the edge of the piston pin boss and the inside surface of the first ring groove, and the deformation of the head of the piston is greatest. But the difference between the long and short axes of the bottom cross section is greatest.

Preliminary Discussion on the Refinement Mesh Generation for Adaptive Analysis

In recent years, due to the rapid development of computer hardware and the urgent need of complex engineering problems, great support has been provided in the related fields of unstructured mesh generation. A large number of research results show that the adaptive analysis is an effective way to improve the efficiency and precision of the numerical calculation. The reliable error estimation and the powerful mesh generation are two key problems in the process of adaptive numerical analysis. H-type refinement strategy adding the new nodes in the high error area, gradually refines the mesh to reduce the size of the element to achieve the purpose of mesh adaptation;this strategy is simple, intuitive and easy to program. Although the calculation accuracy of unstructured triangle and tetrahedron elements is not high, these elements are suitable for discretization of any complex problem domain, and have a wider range of application in academic and engineering fields.

ADAPTIVE MESHLESS METHOD BASED ON LOCAL FIT TECHNOLOGY

An h-adaptive meshless method is proposed in this paper. The error estimation is based on local fit technology, usually confined to Voronoi Cells. The error is achieved by comparison of the computational results with smoothed ones, which are projected with Taylor series. Voronoi Cells are introduced not only for integration of potential energy but also for guidance of refinement. New nodes are placed within those cells with high estimated error. At the end of the paper, two numerical examples with severe stress gradient are analyzed. Through adaptive analysis accurate results are obtained at critical subdomains, which validates the efficiency of the method.

Fundamentals and progress of the manifold method based on independent covers

Aiming to solve mesh generation,computational stability,accuracy control,and other problems encountered with existing numerical methods,such as the finite element method and the finite volume method,a new numerical computational method for continuum mechanics,namely the manifold method based on independent covers(MMIC),is proposed based on the concept of mathematical manifolds,to form partitioned series solutions of partial differential equations.As partitions,the cover meshes have the characteristics of arbitrary shape,arbitrary connection,and arbitrary refinement.They are expected to fundamentally solve the mesh generation problem and can also simulate the precise geometric boundaries of the CAD model and strictly impose boundary conditions.In the selection of series solutions,local analytical solutions(such as series solutions at crack tips and series solutions in infinite domains)or proper forms of complete series can be used to reflect the local or global characteristics of the physical field to accelerate convergence.Various applications are presented.A new method of beam,plate,and shell analysis is proposed.The deformation characteristics of beams,plates,and shells are simulated with polynomial series of suitable forms,and the analysis of curved beams and shells with accurate geometric representation is realized.For the static elastic analysis of two-dimensional structures,a mesh splitting algorithm is proposed,and h-p version adaptive analysis is carried out with error estimation.Thus,automatic computation integrated with CAD is attempted.Adaptive analysis is also attempted for the solution of differential equations of fluids.For the one-dimensional convection-diffusion equation and Burgers equation,calculation results with high precision are obtained in strong convection and shock wave simulations,avoiding nonphysical oscillations.And solving the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is also attempted.The series solution formula is used to obtain the physical quantity of interest of the material at a space point to eliminate the convection terms.Thus,geometrically nonlinear problems can be analyzed in fixed meshes,and a new method of free surface tracking is proposed.

OPTIMALITY OF LOCAL MULTILEVEL METHODS FOR ADAPTIVE NONCONFORMING P1 FINITE ELEMENT METHODS

In this paper, a local multilevel product algorithm and its additive version are con- sidered for linear systems arising from adaptive nonconforming P1 finite element approx- imations of second order elliptic boundary value problems. The abstract Schwarz theory is applied to analyze the multilevel methods with Jaeobi or Gauss-Seidel smoothers per- formed on local nodes on coarse meshes and global nodes on the finest mesh. It is shown that the local multilevel methods are optimal, i.e., the convergence rate of the multilevel methods is independent of the mesh sizes and mesh levels. Numerical experiments are given to confirm the theoretical results.
