Although there have been many systematic methods addressing the issue, there are very few focusing on the new structure because of the difficulties in defining the earth pressure between the two piles. A new method is proposed in this paper to obtain the earth pressure between the PWISPs. Stability analysis against overturning follows as a consequence. Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software ANSYS, both the nonlinear characteristics of the soil and those of the contact elements are taken into account to obtain the earth pressure distribution on the contact surface. Based on the results of the FEA, Rankin’s theory and the slip plane theory, the formula of the earth pressure on the inner surfaces between the piles is given. Assuming the PWISP as the analysis object and the earth pressure as an outside force acting upon it, the equation of stability against overturning of the PWISP is presented. Finally, some parameters are discussed about the stability of the PWISP against overturning, such as the embedded depth of the front pile, the distance between the two rows of piles, the internal friction angle and the cohesion of the earth. The results show that the increase of the cohesion and the internal friction angle will decrease the distance and the embedded depth, and therefore enhance the stability against overturning. Specifically, when the distance is 1/3-2/3 of the maximal excavation depth, the two rows of piles give the best performance in stability.展开更多

A pipe bomb is an example of simple improvised explosive device (IED) that consists of a piece of pipe filled with explosive material and capped at both ends. To simulate the explosion of a pipe bomb and the damage it causes, a coupled multisolver approach based upon finite element and finite volume methods is applied. The numerical calculation presented demonstrates the ability of ANSYS AUTODYN to correctly simulate the threats of IEDs and provides insight into how the most significant physical phenomena affect the results.展开更多

A series of mini cutting explosives are designed to investigate the process of splitting PMMA plate. The phenomenon of spallation in PMMA is observed. The effects of different parameters of mini cutting explosives on the cutting depth are obtained. Consequently the appropriate material of half-circular metal covers, explosive types and the ranges of charge quantities are determined. On the other hand, the cutting process of aviation PMMA plate by mini cutting explosives is simulated by means of nonlinear dynamic analysis code LS-DYNA. In finite element analysis,Arbitrary Lagrangian Euler (ALE) algorithm is used to depict the fluid property of high energy explosives. Continuous damage material model is used to simulate the complicate dynamic damage behavior of PMMA due to explosion shock waves. Only sliding contact option is defined to fulfill the fluid-structure interaction between explosives and PMMA plate by distributed parameter methods. Phenomenon of spallation observed in the experiment is presented in the simulation. The relationship between the penetration depth of PMMA plate and charge linear density obtained by numerical simulation agrees well with experimental result.展开更多

In this paper, a computational model and computation procedures for pile-supported structures, which can duly consider the pile-soil interaction effect, arc established by the finite clement method. Numerical implementation is made in the time domain. A simplified approximation for the seismic response analysis of pile-soil-structure systems is briefly presented. Then a comparative study is performed for an engineering example with numerical results computed respectively by the finite clement method and the simplified method. Through comparative analysis, it is shown that the results obtained by the simplified method well agree with those achieved by the finite element method. The numerical results and findings will offer instructive guidelines for earthquake-resistant analysis and design of pile-supported structures.展开更多

In neutron star matter, the weak YY interaction supplies the additional repulsive interaction between hyperons while the strong YY interaction supplies the attractive one. With the weak YY interaction, the effective masses of hyperons are larger than those with the strong YY interaction while smaller than those with no (σ* ,φ) mesons included. The threshold star masses for the DURCA processes involving nucleons and A are not sensitive to the strength of the YY interaction. The weak YY interaction leads to larger threshold masses for the DURCA process involving [1]1 and [1]0 than the other two cases. The process involving [1]0 can take place in the neutron star only when the weak YY interaction is used. The weak YY interaction is able to bring in the agreement with the observation of the neutron star with larger mass and faster cooling than the strong YY interaction.展开更多

The processed data come from experiments and numerical simulations. In comparison with a Fourier transform, the POD gives the best modal approximation for both initial fields, in terms of the energy expressed on any given number of modes to be taken into account: to reach 98% of the total energy of the velocity field, the required number of POD modes is around nine times smaller than the number of Fourier harmonics. The individual POD modes are given and show that the unsteady rotor-stator interaction is already present in the very first modes.展开更多
