To calculate in tra domain integral, it was transformed into boundary integration with the DRM method. Using the similitude theory, the dimensionless differential equation was educed. Finally, the authors calculated two drifting faces of Sanhejian Coal Mine using the computer software developed by authors based on the above principium, and got the distribution characteristic of surrounding rock temperature field around a drifting face and the periodic variation in temperature with its periodic moving forward. Comparing the calculated heat dissipating capacity of surrounding rock with the measured data shows that the computer software is proper.展开更多

Here, quality means orthogonality at the boundaries and quasi-orthogonality within the critical regions, smoothness, bounded aspect ratios and solution adaptive behaviour. It is not recommended to refine the parts of the domain where the solution shows little variation. It is desired to concentrate grid points and cells in the part of the domain where the solution shows strong gradients or variations. We present a simple, effective and com- putationally efficient approach for quadrilateral mesh adaptation. Several numerical examples are presented for supporting our claim.展开更多

The realistic failure process analysis code (abbreviated as RFPA3D) was employed to reproduce the initiation, propagation, coalescence and interactions of micro-fractures, the evolution of associated stress fields and acoustic emission (AE) activities during the whole failure processes of the surrounding rock mass around cross tunnel. Combined with microseismic activities by microseismic monitoring on the fight bank slope, the spatial-temporal evolution and the micro-fracture precursor characteristics during the complete process of progressive failure of the surrounding rock mass around cross tunnel were discussed and the energy release law of the surrounding rock mass around the cross tunnel was obtained. The result shows that the precursor characteristic of microfractures occurring in rock mass is an effective approach to early warn catastrophic damage of rock mass around cross tunnel. Moreover, the heterogeneity of rock mass is the source and internal cause of the failure precursor of rock mass.展开更多

Moreover, large-scale natural faults were detected in the slope body; some excavation-induced unloading fractures were discovered at elevations between lo75m and 1146m. Because of poor tectonic stability, the excavation work was suspended in September 2009, and six large- scale anti-shear galleries were employed to replace the weak zone in the slope body to reinforce the fight- bank slope. In this study, based on microseismic- monitoring technology and a numerical-simulation method, the stabilities of the slope with and without the reinforcement are analysed. An in-situ microseismic-monitofing system is used to obtain quantitative information about the damage location, extent, energy, and magnitude of the rocks. Thus, any potential sliding block in the fight-bank slope can be identified. By incorporating the numerical results along with the microseismic-monitoring data, the stress concentration is found to largely occur aroundthe anti-shear galleries, and the seismic deformation near the anti-shear galleries is apparent, particularly at elevations of 121o, 118o, 115o, and 112om. To understand the interaction mechanism between the anti-shear gallery and the surrounding rock, a 2D simulation of the potential damage process occurring in an anti-shear gallery is performed. The numerical simulation helps in obtaining additional information about the stress distribution and failure-induced stress re-distribution in the vicinity of the anti-shear galleries that cannot be directly observed in the field. Finally, the potential sliding surface of the right-bank slope is numerically obtained, which generally agrees with the spatial distribution of the in-situ monitored microseismic events. The safety factor of the slope reinforced with the anti-shear gallery increases by approximately 36.2%. Both the numerical results and microseismic data show that the anti-shear galleries have a good reinforcement effect.展开更多

In South Asia, most of the countries embraced the idea except India. There is no doubt that OBOR is likely to have farreaching implications on South Asian politics, economy and security. China has been engaging in the region through various economic and development projects for last two decades. This has raised serious security and strategic concerns in India. China's growing bilateral trade investments and development-oriented connectivity projects in India's neighbourhood have been popularly dubbed as China's 'String of Pearl Strategy' aimed to contract India's sphere of influence in the region. There is a deficit of trust between emerging India and rising China over their interests and intentions. Many observers, however, view OBOR as a game changer at least in South Asia, where this would necessitate re-alignment and re-balancing. But, how does India perceive this project is a matter of serious concern that would shape the nature of implications on South Asia? In this context, this article examines the impact of OBOR on South Asia Region from sub-regional perspectives and it explores how China can play a constructive role by reconciling its grand strategy with national interests of South Asian countries in order to minimise the adverse impact of OBOR [especially China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)] on the peace and security of the region through effective CBMs.展开更多

In this study we evaluated the results of soft tissue distraction with no collateral ligament transection or volar plate removal in comparison with traditional operation of contracture re- lease and partial ligament transection and volar plate removal. Methods: In this prospective study, a total of 40 pa- tients in two equal groups (A and B) were studied. Patients suffering from chronic flexion contracture of abrasive trau- matic nature were included. Group A were treated by soft tissue distraction using pentagonal frame technique and in Group B the contracture release was followed by finger splinting. Results: Analyzed data revealed a significant differ- ence between the two groups for range of motion in the proximal interphalangeal joints (P〈0.05), while it was not meaningful in the distal interphalangeal joints (P〉0.05). There was not a significant difference in the degrees of flexion contracture between groups (P〉0.05). Regression analysis showed that using pentagonal frame technique significantly increased the mean improvement in range of motion of proxi- mal interphalangeal joints (P〈0.001), while the higher the preoperative flexion contracture was observed in proximal interphalangeal joints, the lower improvement was achieved in range of motion of proximal interphalangeal joints after intervention (P〈0.001). Conclusion: Soft tissue distraction using pentagonal frame technique with gradual and continuous collateral liga- ment and surrounding joint tissues distraction combined with skin Z-plasty significantly improves the range of mo- tion in patients with chronic traumatic flexion deformity of proximal and/or distal interphalangeal joints.展开更多
