Based on a calibrated cyclic elasto-plastic constitutive model for liquefiable sand and Biot dynamic coupled theory,the seismic analysis was carried out by using a dynamic effective stress finite element method under plane strain condition. A recent design study was illustrated in detail for a river earth embankment subjected to seismic excitation on the saturated deposits with liquefiable sands. Simulated results of the embankment foundation during liquefaction were obtained for acceleration,displacement,and excess pore water pressures,which were considered to yield useful results for earthquake geotechnical design. The results show that the foundation soil reaches a fully liquefied state with high excess pore pressure ratios approaching to 1.0 due to the earthquake shaking. At the end of the earthquake,the extensive liquefaction causes about 1.0 m lateral spreading at the toe and 60 cm settlement at the crest of the earth embankment.展开更多

Based on the real dynamic tensile-shear failure mechanism of slope,the paper proposes dynamic analysis of strength reduction FEM (finite element method) and takes the reduction of shear strength parameters and tensile strength parameters into consideration. And it comprehensively takes the transfixion of the failure surface,the non-convergence of calculation and mutation of displacement as the criterion of dynamic instability and failure of the slope. The strength reduction factor under limit state is regarded as the dynamic safety factor of the slope under earthquake effect and its advantages are introduced. Finally,the method is applied in the seismic design of anchors supporting and anti-slide pile supporting of the slope. Calculation examples show that the application of dynamic analysis of strength reduction is feasible in the seismic design of slope engineering,which can consider dynamic interaction of supporting structure and rock-soil mass. Owing to its preciseness and great advantages,it is a new method in the seismic design of slope supporting.展开更多

Because of the harsh environment of seafloor,high pressure and highly conductive seawater,marine magnetotelluric method developed slowly. The sea floor environment is similar to the environment of logging, According to the design of dual lateral logging equipment,a new equipment for seafloor electrical resistivity measurement is designed. Four 3D FEM models that contain resistivity abnormal targets are built to test the ability of this equipment to locate different shape of shallow buried resistivity abnormal targets in sea mud. The authors propose the method to correct the response curve while the bottom surface of this equipment is suspended or not parallel to the seafloor.

For slopes in these soils,a progressive failure mechanism can occur due to a reduction of strength with increasing strain. Finite element method based numerical approaches have been widely performed for simulating such failure mechanism,owning to their ability for tracing the formation and development of the localized shear strain. However,the reliability of the currently used approaches are often affected by poor convergence or significant mesh-dependency,and their applicability is limited by the use of complicated soil models. This paper aims to overcome these limitations by developing a finite element approach using a local arc-length controlled iterative algorithm as the solution strategy. In the proposed finite element approach,the soils are simulated with an elastoplastic constitutive model in conjunction with the Mohr-Coulomb yield function. The strain-softening behavior is represented by a piece-wise linearrelationship between the Mohr-Coulomb strength parameters and the deviatoric plastic strain. To assess the reliability of the proposed finite element approach,comparisons of the numerical solutions obtained by different finite element methods and meshes with various qualities are presented. Moreover,a landslide triggered by excavation in a real expressway construction project is analyzed by the presented finite element approach to demonstrate its applicability for practical engineering problems.展开更多

The goals of sloshing simulation is to first study the sloshing pattern and then improve the tank design to reduce noise levels, stresses on the structure and optimize the baffle arrangements. In this project simulation of the fluid in tank is studied and the design modification with baffle plate is considered to minimize the sloshing phenomena using Arbitrary Langrangian Eulerian (ALE) method. Also it is explained that there is need to analyze the sloshing phenomena in detail. Arbitrary Langrangian Eulerian finite element methods gain interest for the capability to control mesh geometry independently from material geometry, the ALE methods are used to create a new undistorted mesh for the fluid domain. In this paper we use the ALE technique to solve fuel slosh problem. Fuel slosh is an important design consideration not only for the fuel tank, but also for the structure supporting the fuel tank. Fuel slosh can be generated by many ways: abrupt changes in acceleration (braking), as well as abrupt changes in direction (highway exit-ramp). Repetitive motion can also be involved if a sloshing resonance is generated. These sloshing events can in turn affect the overall performance 0fthe parent structure. A finite element analysis method has been developed to analyze this complex event. A new ALE formulation for the fluid mesh can be used to keep the fluid mesh integrity during the motion of the tank. This paper explains the analysis capabilities on a technical level.展开更多

In this paper,a novel impact parameter on separation efficiency,i.e.,the angle between the vectors of magnetic force and fluid velocity,was derived from the basic equation describing the motion of magnetic beads in microchannels. It is proposed that one of the most important approaches for separation efficiency enhancement is to improve the coordination of magnetic force field and fluid flow field. A T-shaped microchannel magnetophoretic separator was designed based on the angle. And then a two-dimensional dynamic model of magnetic beads moving in microchannels was established to study the separation efficiency of T-shaped microseparator by combined use of finite element method and Runge-Kutta method. The results show that the capture effi-ciency of T-shaped microseparator is much higher than that of the straight microseparator at the same conditions. For small magnetic beads at high fluid velocities,the designed T-shaped microseparator could still keep high separation efficiency whereas the conventional straight microseparator fails to separate the magnetic beads. Further analysis shows that the mechanism of separation efficiency enhancement lies in the synergy of magnetic force field and flow field,which directly leads to large deflected velocity of the magnetic beads from the main stream,and thus increasing the separation efficiency. It is anticipated that the results in this paper are theoretically helpful for the optimum design of highly efficient magnetophoretic separators.展开更多

Nonlinear FE time history a...We present a 3-D finite element (FE) approach to find the optimal distribution of seismic reinforcement force to secure high arch dam-abutment structures against certain earthquake actions. Nonlinear FE time history analysis is performed on the structure to find the seismic responses, using the associated elastic-perfectly plastic material description. The concept of plastic complementary energy is introduced to structural dynamics to quantify the structure's resistance against the seismic action throughout the time history and to indicate the critical moments when extreme extents of dynamic failure occur. Meanwhile the distributions of the unbalanced force at these critical moments reveal the dominant patterns of the dynamic failure. By the principle of minimum plastic complementary energy, the unbalanced force is just the counterforce of optimal reinforcement force to secure the self-unsupportable structure against the earthquake, which makes the seismic design more targeted and effective. Seismic design analysis is performed on Maji high arch dam-abutment structure. The results could to a large extent guide the seismic design, showing that several structural surfaces lying at the upper abutment are the most seismically vulnerable. This application indicates good applicability of this approach to large-scale projects.展开更多

The dimensional analysis was applied in the phenomenon of gas-gas combustion, and design parameter optimization and a structure improvement were also carded out. A high flowrate single-element injector with high 1-12/O2 momentum ratio and tapered 02 post tip was obtained and validated by both numerical and experimental studies. This high flowrate injector has simple construction and it can effectively enhance the mixing, decrease the combustion completion length and also has a benign heat environment. Furthermore, based on the study of the single-element injector, numerical optimization and validation experiments were conducted successively on a multi-element injector equipped with high flowrate injection elements. The multi-element injector with the high flowrate elements started up and shut down smoothly, and operated steadily without any stability aids. In the combustor designed with nominal parameters, this injection element can obtain high combustion efficiency with a flowrate of 3.7 times that of SSME main injector element and shows a benign chamber wall heat compatibility. This injector design and the design methodology can become a reference for the design of other types of injectors for liquid rocket engines.展开更多

And then a two-dimensional dynamic model of magnetic beads moving in microchannels was established to study the separation efficiency of T-shaped microseparator by combined use of finite element method and Runge-Kutta method. The results show that the capture effi-ciency of T-shaped microseparator is much higher than that of the straight microseparator at the same conditions. For small magnetic beads at high fluid velocities,the designed T-shaped microseparator could still keep high separation efficiency whereas the conventional straight microseparator fails to separate the magnetic beads. Further analysis shows that the mechanism of separation efficiency enhancement lies in the synergy of magnetic force field and flow field,which directly leads to large deflected velocity of the magnetic beads from the main stream,and thus increasing the separation efficiency. It is anticipated that the results in this paper are theoretically helpful for the optimum design of highly efficient magnetophoretic separators.

文摘We present a 3-D finite element (FE) approach to find the optimal distribution of seismic reinforcement force to secure high arch dam-abutment structures against certain earthquake actions. Nonlinear FE time history analysis is performed on the structure to find the seismic responses, using the associated elastic-perfectly plastic material description. The concept of plastic complementary energy is introduced to structural dynamics to quantify the structure's resistance against the seismic action throughout the time history and to indicate the critical moments when extreme extents of dynamic failure occur. Meanwhile the distributions of the unbalanced force at these critical moments reveal the dominant patterns of the dynamic failure. By the principle of minimum plastic complementary energy, the unbalanced force is just the counterforce of optimal reinforcement force to secure the self-unsupportable structure against the earthquake, which makes the seismic design more targeted and effective. Seismic design analysis is performed on Maji high arch dam-abutment structure. The results could to a large extent guide the seismic design, showing that several structural surfaces lying at the upper abutment are the most seismically vulnerable. This application indicates good applicability of this approach to large-scale projects.
文摘In order to get a high flowrate gas-gas injector and its design methodology, the combustion flow field of a typical shear-coaxial injector was analyzed firstly. The dimensional analysis was applied in the phenomenon of gas-gas combustion, and design parameter optimization and a structure improvement were also carded out. A high flowrate single-element injector with high 1-12/O2 momentum ratio and tapered 02 post tip was obtained and validated by both numerical and experimental studies. This high flowrate injector has simple construction and it can effectively enhance the mixing, decrease the combustion completion length and also has a benign heat environment. Furthermore, based on the study of the single-element injector, numerical optimization and validation experiments were conducted successively on a multi-element injector equipped with high flowrate injection elements. The multi-element injector with the high flowrate elements started up and shut down smoothly, and operated steadily without any stability aids. In the combustor designed with nominal parameters, this injection element can obtain high combustion efficiency with a flowrate of 3.7 times that of SSME main injector element and shows a benign chamber wall heat compatibility. This injector design and the design methodology can become a reference for the design of other types of injectors for liquid rocket engines.
