Coupled GIMP and CPDI material point method in modelling blast-induced three-dimensional rock fracture

Three-dimensional rock fracture induced by blasting is a highly complex problem and has received considerable attention in geotechnical engineering.The material point method is firstly applied to treat this challenging task.Some inherent weaknesses can be overcome by coupling the generalized interpolation material point(GIMP)and the convected particle domain interpolation technique(CPDI).For the media in the borehole,unchanged GIMP-type particles are used to guarantee a homogenous blast pressure.CPDITetrahedron type particles are employed to avoid the fake numerical fracture near the borehole for the rock material.A blasting experiment using three-dimensional single-borehole rock was simulated to examine the applicability of the coupled model under realistic loading and boundary conditions.A good agreement was achieved between the simulation and experimental results.Moreover,the mechanism of three-dimensional rock fracture was analyzed.It was concluded that rock particle size and material parameters play an important role in rock damage.The reflected tensile waves cause severe damage in the lower part of the model.Rayleigh waves occur on the top face of the rock model to induce a hoop failure band.

奇异鞍点问题中广义位移分裂迭代方法的半收敛性分析

Recently,some authors(Shen and Shi,2016)studied the generalized shiftsplitting(GSS)iteration method for singular saddle point problem with nonsymmetric positive definite(1,1)-block and symmetric positive semidefinite(2,2)-block.In this paper,we further apply the GSS iteration method to solve singular saddle point problem with nonsymmetric positive semidefinite(1,1)-block and symmetric positive semidefinite(2,2)-block,prove the semi-convergence of the GSS iteration method and analyze the spectral properties of the corresponding preconditioned matrix.Numerical experiment is given to indicate that the GSS iteration method with appropriate iteration parameters is effective and competitive for practical use.

THE GENERALIZED LOCAL HERMITIAN AND SKEW-HERMITIAN SPLITTING ITERATION METHODS FOR THE NON-HERMITIAN GENERALIZED SADDLE POINT PROBLEMS

For large and sparse saddle point problems, Zhu studied a class of generalized local Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting iteration methods for non-Hermitian saddle point problem [M.-Z. Zhu, Appl. Math. Comput. 218 （2012） 8816-8824 ]. In this paper, we further investigate the generalized local Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting （GLHSS） iteration methods for solving non-Hermitian generalized saddle point problems. With different choices of the parameter matrices, we derive conditions for guaranteeing the con- vergence of these iterative methods. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our GLHSS iteration methods as well as the preconditioners.

Henig Proper Efficient Points and Generalized Henig Proper Efficient Points

Applying the theory of locally convex spaces to vector optimization, we investigate the relationship between Henig proper efficient points and generalized Henig proper efficient points. In particular, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for generalized Henig proper efficient points to be Henig proper efficient points. From this, we derive several convenient criteria for judging Henig proper efficient points.

Analysis of large deformation geotechnical problems using implicit generalized interpolation material point method

This paper presents a quasi-static implicit generalized interpolation material point method(i GIMP)with B-bar approach for large deformation geotechnical problems.The i GIMP algorithm is an extension of the implicit material point method(iMPM).The global stiffness matrix is formed explicitly and the Newton-Raphson iterative method is used to solve the equilibrium equations.Where possible,the implementation procedure closely follows standard finite element method(FEM)approaches to allow easy conversion of other FEM codes.The generalized interpolation function is assigned to eliminate the inherent cell crossing noise within conventional MPM.For the first time,the B-bar approach is used to overcome volumetric locking in standard GIMP method for near-incompressible non-linear geomechanics.The proposed i GIMP was tested and compared with i MPM and analytical solutions via a 1 D column compression problem.Results highlighted the superiority of the i GIMP approach in reducing stress oscillations,thereby improving computational accuracy.Then,elasto-plastic slope stabilities and rigid footing problems were considered,further illustrating the ability of the proposed method to overcome volumetric locking due to incompressibility.Results showed that the proposed i GIMP with B-bar approach can be used to simulate geotechnical problems with large deformations.

On Fatou Type Convergence of Convolution Type Double Singular Integral Operators

In this paper, some approximation formulae for a class of convolution type double singular integral operators depending on three parameters of the type(T_λf)(x, y) = ∫_a^b ∫_a^b f(t, s)K_λ(t-x,s-y)dsdt, x,y ∈(a,b), λ ∈ Λ [0,∞),(0.1)are given. Here f belongs to the function space L_1( <a,b >~2), where <a,b> is an arbitrary interval in R. In this paper three theorems are proved, one for existence of the operator(T_λf)(x, y) and the others for its Fatou-type pointwise convergence to f(x_0, y_0), as(x,y,λ) tends to(x_0, y_0, λ_0). In contrast to previous works, the kernel functions K_λ(u,v)don't have to be 2π-periodic, positive, even and radial. Our results improve and extend some of the previous results of [1, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13] in three dimensional frame and especially the very recent paper [15].

A Fuzzy Logical MPPT Control Strategy for PMSG Wind Generation Systems

Making full use of wind power is one of the main purposes of the wind turbine generator control. Conventional hill climbing search （HCS） method can realize the maximum power point tracking （MPPT）. However, the step size of HCS method is constant so that it cannot consider both steady-state response and dynamic response. A fuzzy logical control （FLC） algorithm is proposed to solve this problem in this paper, which can track the maximum power point （MPP） quickly and smoothly. To evaluate MPPT algorithms, four performance indices are also proposed in this paper. They are the energy captured by wind turbine, the maximum power-point tracking time when wind speed changes slowly, the fluctuation magnitude of real power during steady state, and the energy captured by wind turbine when wind speed changes fast. Three cases are designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink respectively. The comparison of the three MPPT strategies concludes that the proposed fuzzy logical control algorithm is more superior to the conventional HCS algorithms.

Multiplicity of Periodic Bouncing Solutions for Sublinear Damped Variation Systems via Nonsmooth Variational Methods

Two results about the multiplicity of nontrivial periodic bouncing solutions for sublinear damped vibration systems-x=g(t)x+f(t,x) are obtained via the Generalized Nonsmooth Saddle Point Theorem and a technique established by Wu Xian and Wang Shaomin.Both of them imply the condition "f≥0" required in some previous papers can be weakened,furthermore,one of them also implies the condition about ■F(t,x)/■t required in some previous papers,such as "|■F(t,x)/■t|=σ_(0)F(t,x)" and "|■F(t,x)/■t|≤C(1+F(t,x))", is unnecessary,where F(t,x):=∫_(0)~xf(t,x)ds,and σ_(0),C are positive constants.

The Alternative Property and Vector Optimization Problem in Ordered Locally Convex Topological Vector Spaces

In this paper, the theorem of the alternative based on separation functions in ordered locally convex topological vector spaces has been established by using the concept on set valued mappings. The optimality conditions in ref. for D convex function have been generalized to ordered locally convex topological vector space and the similarly optimality conditions for D subconvexlike functions, such as the necessary and sufficient conditions of nondominated solutions, the generalized saddle point theorems and the lagrange duality theorems, have been obtained.
