Ultimate end bearing capacity of rock-socketed pile based on generalized nonlinear unified strength criterion

In order to study the mechanism of bearing behavior at the tip of a pile embedded in rock, the generalized nonlinear unified strength criterion and slip line principle for resolving the differential equation systems which govern the stress field were applied to derive the ultimate end beating capacity based on some reasonable hypothesis and failure plane model. Both numerical simulation and test results were compared with the theoretic solution. The results show good consistency with each other and verify the validity of the present approach. The depth effect with respective to embedment ratio and other influence factors like geological strength index, intermediate principal stress, overburden factor, and damage on end bearing capacity were discussed in the analytical solution. The results show that the proposed yield criterion can be much better for investigating the ultimate end bearing performance of rock-socketed pile. The end bearing capacity increases with embedment ratio and the increasing degree is influenced intensely by the above parameters. Furthermore, ignoring intermediate stress effect would underestimate the strength properties of the rock material and lead to a very conservative estimation value.

Elasto-plastic analysis of the surrounding rock mass in circular tunnel based on the generalized nonlinear unified strength theory

The present paper aims to establish a versatile strength theory suitable for elasto-plastic analysis of underground tunnel surrounding rock. In order to analyze the effects of intermediate principal stress and the rock properties on its deformation and failure of rock mass, the generalized nonlinear unified strength theory and elasto-plastic mechanics are used to deduce analytic solution of the radius and stress of tunnel plastic zone and the periphery displacement of tunnel under uniform ground stress field. The results show that: intermediate principal stress coefficient b has significant effect on the plastic range,the magnitude of stress and surrounding rock pressure. Then, the results are compared with the unified strength criterion solution and Mohr–Coulomb criterion solution, and concluded that the generalized nonlinear unified strength criterion is more applicable to elasto-plastic analysis of underground tunnel surrounding rock.

Generalized oscillator strengths for some higher valence-shell excitations of krypton atom

The valence-shell excitations of krypton atom have been investigated by fast electron impact with an angle-resolved electron-energy-loss spectrometer. The generalized oscillator strengths for some higher mixed valence-shell excitations in 4d, 4f, 5p, 5d, 6s, 6p, 7s ←4p of krypton atom have been determined. Their profiles are discussed, and the generalized oscillator strengths for the electric monopole and quadrupole excitations in 5p ← 4p are compared with the calculations of Amusia et al. （Phys. Rev. A 67 022703 （2003））. The differences between the experimental results and theoretical calculations show that more studies are needed.

Vibronic effect study of ^(1)A_(2) state of H_(2)O and D_(2)O

The generalized oscillator strengths of the dipole-forbidden excitations of the ^(1)A_(2) of H_(2)O and D_(2)O were calculated with the time dependent density functional theory,by taking into account the vibronic effect.It is found that the vibronic effect converts the dipole-forbidden excitation of the ^(1)A_(2) into a dipole-allowed one,which enhances the intensities of the corresponding generalized oscillator strength in the small squared momentum transfer region.The present investigation shows that the vibronic effect of H_(2)O is slightly stronger than that of D_(2)O,which exhibits a clear isotopic effect.

Generalized non-linear strength theory and transformed stress space

Based on the test data of frictional materials and previous research achievements in this field, a generalized non-linear strength theory (GNST) is proposed. It describes non-linear strength properties on the π-plane and the meridian plane using a unified formula, and it includes almost all the present non-linear strength theories, which can be used in just one material. The shape of failure function of the GNST is a smooth curve between the SMP criterion and the Mises criterion on the π-plane, and an exponential curve on the meridian plane. Through the transformed stress space based on the GNST, the combination of the GNST and various constitutive models using p and q as stress parameters can be realized simply and rationally in three-dimensional stress state.

THE NEW CRITERIA OF ELASTIC AND FATIGUE FAILURE IN THE COMPONENT OF COMPLEX STRESS STATES

In this paper, a total criterion on elastic and fatigue failure in complex stress, that is. octahedral stress strength theory on dynamic and static states on the basis of studying modern and classic strength theories. At the same time, an analysis of an independent and fairly comprehensive theoretical system is set up. It gives generalized failure factor by 36 materials and computative theory of the 11 states of complex stresses on a point, and derives the operator equation on generalized allowable strength and a computative method for a total equation can be applied to dynamic and static states. It is illustrated that the method has a good exactness through computation of eight examples of engineering. Therefore, the author suggests applying it to engineering widely.

Viscoelastic plastic interaction of tunnel support and strain-softening rock mass considering longitudinal effect

A simplified two-stage method was employed to provide an explicit solution for the time-dependent tunnel-rock interaction,considering the generalized Zhang-Zhu strength criterion.Additionally,a simplified mechanical model of the yielding support structure was established.The tunnel excavation is simplified to a two-stage process:the first stage is affected by the longitudinal effect,while the second stage is affected by rheological behavior.Two cases are considered:one is that the rigid support is constructed during the first stage,and the other is that constructed at the second stage.Distinguished by the support timing at the seconde stage,different kinds of the“yield-resist combination”support method are divided into three categories:“yield before resist”support,“yield-resist”support,and“control-yield-resist”support.Results show that the support reaction of“control-yield-resist”is much higher than that of“yield before resist”if the initial geostress is not very high,but the effect is not obvious on controlling the surrounding rock deformation.So,the“yield before resist”support is much more economical and practical when the ground stress is not very high.However,under high geostress condition,through applying relatively high support reaction actively to surrounding rock at the first stage,the“control-yield-resist”support is superior in controlling the deformation rate of surrounding rock.Therefore,in the high geostress environment,it is recommended to construct prestressed yielding anchor immediately after excavation,and then construct rigid support after the surrounding rock deformation reaches the predetermined deformation.
