Semi-analytical solution for mechanical analysis of tunnels crossing strike-slip fault zone considering nonuniform fault displacement and uncertain fault plane position

The tunnel subjected to strike-slip fault dislocation exhibits severe and catastrophic damage.The existing analysis models frequently assume uniform fault displacement and fixed fault plane position.In contrast,post-earthquake observations indicate that the displacement near the fault zone is typically nonuniform,and the fault plane position is uncertain.In this study,we first established a series of improved governing equations to analyze the mechanical response of tunnels under strike-slip fault dislocation.The proposed methodology incorporated key factors such as nonuniform fault displacement and uncertain fault plane position into the governing equations,thereby significantly enhancing the applicability range and accuracy of the model.In contrast to previous analytical models,the maximum computational error has decreased from 57.1%to 1.1%.Subsequently,we conducted a rigorous validation of the proposed methodology by undertaking a comparative analysis with a 3D finite element numerical model,and the results from both approaches exhibited a high degree of qualitative and quantitative agreement with a maximum error of 9.9%.Finally,the proposed methodology was utilized to perform a parametric analysis to explore the effects of various parameters,such as fault displacement,fault zone width,fault zone strength,the ratio of maximum fault displacement of the hanging wall to the footwall,and fault plane position,on the response of tunnels subjected to strike-slip fault dislocation.The findings indicate a progressive increase in the peak internal forces of the tunnel with the rise in fault displacement and fault zone strength.Conversely,an augmentation in fault zone width is found to contribute to a decrease in the peak internal forces.For example,for a fault zone width of 10 m,the peak values of bending moment,shear force,and axial force are approximately 46.9%,102.4%,and 28.7% higher,respectively,compared to those observed for a fault zone width of 50 m.Furthermore,the position of the peak internal forces is influenced by variations in the ratio of maximum fault displacement of the hanging wall to footwall and the fault plane location,while the peak values of shear force and axial force always align with the fault plane.The maximum peak internal forces are observed when the footwall exclusively bears the entirety of the fault displacement,corresponding to a ratio of 0:1.The peak values of bending moment,shear force,and axial force for the ratio of 0:1 amount to approximately 123.8%,148.6%,and 111.1% of those for the ratio of 0.5:0.5,respectively.

Hermite Positive Definite Solution of the Quaternion Matrix Equation Xm + B*XB = C

This paper discusses the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermite positive definite solutions of the quaternion matrix equation Xm+ B*XB = C (m > 0) and its iterative solution method. According to the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, a corresponding algebraic equation system is ingeniously constructed, and by discussing the equation system’s solvability, the matrix equation’s existence interval is obtained. Based on the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions of the matrix equation are derived. Then, the upper and lower bounds of the positive actual solutions are estimated by using matrix inequalities. Four iteration formats are constructed according to the given conditions and existence intervals, and their convergence is proven. The selection method for the initial matrix is also provided. Finally, using the complexification operator of quaternion matrices, an equivalent iteration on the complex field is established to solve the equation in the Matlab environment. Two numerical examples are used to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the given method. .
