  • differential settlement and soil Dynamic Stress of a culvert embankment transition zone due to an adjacent shield tunnel construction
    Ksce Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
    Co-Authors: Yao Shan, Shunhua Zhou
    Abstract:

    The effects of shield tunnel construction on the differential settlement and the distribution of soil Dynamic Stress of an adjacent culvert-embankment transition zone are investigated. A construction project of shield tunnels in Hangzhou (China) beneath an existing railroad culvert-embankment transition zone is employed as a case study. Firstly, the shield tunneling activities in the vicinity of a culvert-embankment transition zone are simulated by a three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. The differential settlement of the transition zone is calculated to evaluate the influence of the shield tunneling on the safety of the passing train. Secondly, a plane strain model is employed to investigate the discipline of the soil Dynamic Stress in transition zones, which is induced by the passing train and the shield tunnel beneath the railroad. Results indicate that the reinforcement treatment of the foundation is required since the embankment differential settlement is significantly affected by the shield tunneling. Finally, a recommended treatment is introduced according to the property of the surrounding soil. Numerical simulation reveals that this treatment is appropriate for reducing the differential settlement and soil Dynamic Stress of the transition zone.

  • three dimensional multilayer cylindrical tunnel model for calculating train induced Dynamic Stress in saturated soils
    Computers and Geotechnics, 2016
    Co-Authors: Shunhua Zhou, Xiaohui Zhang, Zhe Luo
    Abstract:

    Abstract This study proposes an improved tunnel model for evaluating train-induced Dynamic Stress in saturated soils, which can consider multiple moving loads, grouting layer and pore-water pressure. Using Shanghai Metro’s actual parameters for train speed, tunnel, grouting layer and soils, the analysis of the spatial distribution of Dynamic Stress for soils and Stress state of various locations under moving train loads shows that neglecting effects such as pore-water pressure can lead to underestimating Dynamic normal Stress and overestimating Dynamic shear Stress in the soils below tunnel. This model can be further extended to investigate principal Stress axes rotations and tunnel settlement.

  • Dynamic crushing of cellular materials a unique Dynamic Stress strain state curve
    Mechanics of Materials, 2016
    Co-Authors: Yuanyuan Ding, Zhijun Zheng, Shilong Wang, Liming Yang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Cellular materials under high loading rates have typical features of deformation localization and Stress enhancement, which have been well characterized by one-dimensional shock wave models. However, under moderate loading rates, the local Stress–strain curves and Dynamic response of cellular materials are still unclear. In this paper, the Dynamic Stress–strain response of cellular materials is investigated by using the wave propagation technique, of which the main advantage is that no pre-assumed constitutive relationship is required. Based on virtual Taylor tests, a series of local Dynamic Stress–strain history curves under different loading rates are obtained by Lagrangian analysis method. The plastic stage of local Stress-strain history curve under a moderate loading rate presents a crooked evolution process, which demonstrates the Dynamic behavior of cellular materials under moderate loading rates cannot be characterized by a shock model. A unique Dynamic Stress–strain state curve of the cellular material is summarized by extracting the critical Stress–strain points just before the unloading stage on the local Dynamic Stress–strain history curves. The result shows that the Dynamic Stress–strain states of cellular materials are independent of the initial loading velocity but deformation-mode dependent. The Dynamic Stress–strain states present an obvious nonlinear plastic hardening effect and they are quite different from those under quasi-static compression. Finally, the loading-rate and strain-rate effects of cellular materials are investigated. It is concluded that the initial crushing Stress is mainly controlled by the strain-rate effect, but the Dynamic densification behavior is velocity-dependent.

  • Dynamic Stress strain states for metal foams using a 3d cellular model
    Journal of The Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2014
    Co-Authors: Zhijun Zheng, S R Reid, Changfeng Wang, John J Harrigan
    Abstract:

    Abstract Dynamic uniaxial impact behaviour of metal foams using a 3D cell-based finite element model is examined. At sufficiently high loading rates, these materials respond by forming ‘shock or consolidation waves’ ( Tan et al., 2005a , Tan et al., 2005b ). However, the existing Dynamic experimental methods have limitations in fully informing this behaviour, particularly for solving boundary/initial value problems. Recently, the problem of the shock-like response of an open-cell foam has been examined by Barnes et al. (2014) using the Hugoniot-curve representations. The present study is somewhat complementary to that approach and additionally aims to provide insight into the ‘rate sensitivity’ mechanism applicable to cellular materials. To assist our understanding of the ‘loading rate sensitivity’ behaviour of cellular materials, a virtual ‘test’ method based on the direct impact technique is explored. Following a continuum representation of the response, the strain field calculation method is employed to determine the local strains ahead of and behind the resulting ‘shock front’. The Dynamic Stress–strain states in the densification stage are found to be different from the quasi-static ones. It is evident that the constitutive behaviour of the cellular material is deformation-mode dependent. The nature of the ‘rate sensitivity’ revealed for cellular materials in this paper is different from the strain-rate sensitivity of dense metals. It is shown that the Dynamic Stress–strain states behind a shock front of the cellular material lie on a unique curve and each point on the curve corresponds to a particular ‘impact velocity’, referred as the velocity upstream of the shock in this study. The Dynamic Stress–strain curve is related to a layer-wise collapse mode, whilst the equivalent quasi-static curve is related to a random shear band collapse mode. The findings herein are aimed at improving the experimental test techniques used to characterise the rate-sensitivity behaviour of real cellular materials and providing data appropriate to solving Dynamic loading problems in which cellular metals are utilised.

  • Dynamic Stress intensity factors of a semi infinite crack in an orthotropic functionally graded material
    Mechanics of Materials, 2008
    Co-Authors: Xuefeng Yao, Xiqiao Feng, Yang Yeh Hisen
    Abstract:

    Abstract The plane strain problems of semi-infinite cracks in an infinite functionally graded orthotropic material are studied. Two uniform impact loading modes are considered, i.e. opening and in-plane shear. Laplace and Fourier transforms along with the Winner–Hopf technique are employed to solve the displacement formulation of the equations of motion. Closed-form solutions of the Dynamic Stress intensity factors are obtained. It is observed that the Stress intensity factors are not all proportional to the square root of time as expected. The results can be reduced to the known solutions derived independently for orthotropic or isotropic materials.
