Analysis of tunnel face stability with advanced pipes support

To keep the tunnel face stable is very important for tunnel construction.In this paper,the tunnel face stability under the advanced pipe was analyzed using the Winkler foundation model and rigid limit equilibrium.The tunnel face deformation characteristics were also analyzed using the numerical simulation.The influence of parameters on the deflection of the pipe roof and the stability of the tunnel face were discussed.The results show that the tunnel face stability can be improved through increasing the pipe diameter,decreasing the initial displacement at the beginning of the pipe seat,and adopting the short round length and small excavation height.With the increase of tunnel burial depth,the safety factor of tunnel face stability first decreases,then increases,and then remains unchanged.The deformation at the center of the tunnel face is larger than the deformation at the surround sides and at the corner.The horizontal displacement varies little with the increasing of the pipe length.The horizontal displacement at the center of the tunnel face increases with the increase of the pipe ring spacing and the pipe longitudinal spacing.There is an optimum external angle.

Gateside packwall design in solid backfill mining-A case study

Based upon characteristic movement features of the overlying strata in solid backfill mining and in-situ observations,an associated model representing a roadway support system has been developed.Based on the Winkler foundation and beam model,the current study presents a static analysis of the model,thus permitting acquisition of a theoretical formula pertaining to roof convergence.Through use of working face 6304-1(Jisan Colliery) as the research setting,the association between roof convergence magnitude and both packwall strength and width have been elucidated.Based upon observed conditions at the working face,realistic packwall parameters have been formulated,with numerical simulation results and field application results indicating that design parameters garnered from the developed formula successfully adapted to local geological movement and deformation.Accordingly,roadway deformation was shown to be within the permissible range,thus satisfying mine production requirements.The proposed method in the current study may give a design basis for pack design in the context of SBM under similar conditions.

An improved practical model for wear prediction of revolute clearance joints in crank slider mechanisms

A stationary clearance link algorithm(SCLA)for calculating the reaction-force of revolute clearance joints in crank slider mechanisms is proposed in this paper.The SCLA is more efficient than other algorithms of the same accuracy.Furthermore,based on the Winkler foundation model,an unsymmetrical Winkler foundation model and a double elastic layer Winkler model are proposed.By integrating a dynamic model and the unsymmetrical Winkler foundation model with Archard wear model,an improved integrated wear prediction model is also generated.A series of experiments have been performed to compare with the predicted analysis data,and the results showed a good agreement.As a real industry application,with the double elastic layer Winkler model,the integrated wear prediction model was successfully used to predict the wear depth of the joint bearing(bimetallic bearing)for the cantilever crane of a concrete pump truck of Sany Heavy Industry.
