基于虚拟元-有限元耦合的隧道内道床干缩裂缝细观研究

为解释道床与盾构隧道管片产生脱空的现象，研究新混凝土在浇筑后由干燥收缩产生的裂缝机理。基于虚拟元推导任意多边形骨料的刚度矩阵格式，利用UEL子程序实现有限元与虚拟元的耦合计算，纯弯梁数值试验结果表明耦合法较有限元法计算效率明显提升，且具有较好的稳定性。在此基础上，建立细观尺度下新老混凝土的干缩数值模型，并通过圆盘干缩模型验证了模型参数。研究骨料和砂浆的应力分布、内部湿度与裂缝发展的对应关系以及新老混凝土表面和界面的应力发展。结果表明：①收缩过程中，骨料主要承受压应力作用，砂浆沿骨料边界的切线方向受骨料约束作用易形成收缩裂缝，在新混凝土表面首先出现大量微小裂缝，随后界面两端发生剥离; ②受表面下骨料的约束作用，新混凝土表面拉应力呈现“驼峰”分布。开裂后表面被划分为多个收缩区，收缩区边界受拉应力，内部受压应力；③界面的拉伸和剪切应力由两侧开始增加，并且随着界面剥离的增加不断内移。在界面内部未剥离区域内存在由界面附近骨料约束导致的局部压应力和剪切应力增大。     

微型土压平衡盾构机液压系统故障分析

以微型土压平衡(Earth Pressure Balance,EPB)盾构机推进液压系统作为研究对象,介绍了推进系统的工作原理,对混入空气后的油液黏度和有效体积弹性模量进行分析,建立了推进系统数学模型,并对混入不同百分比空气的系统进行仿真运算,得到了液压缸位移响应和速度响应随系统含气量变化的关系。研究表明:随着液压系统空气含量的增加,液压缸位移响应发生迟滞,速度响应变慢,液压缸在运动时产生振动。结合各液压元件工作原理,依次对实际盾构机推进系统元件进行排气,最终排除了液压系统中混入的空气,为实现盾构机平稳推进提供了理论依据。     

Voltage Assisted Control of Spin-Transfer Nano-Oscillators

The spin-transfer nano-oscillator(STNO) has recently acquired a huge amount of research interest, due to its promising easy tunability along with the miniature size. The output frequency control of an STNO through magnetic field and current has been examined almost to its full extent; however, there are issues that still need to be addressed. Here, we propose a novel way of voltage control of the output frequency of an STNO, and alongside reducing its power requirement.     

基于Kӧtter方程的盾构掘进面上被切削土体受力研究

为了计算不同土体性质与不同掘进参数下盾构刮刀与土体之间的作用力以及由此带来的切削扭矩,引入了修正后的Kӧtter方程作为补充方程,求解出开挖面上土体在被动切削至破坏时滑动面上的应力分布,建立了被切削土体受力模型,求解出刮刀刃面与土体之间的正压力p、摩擦力Q与侧向土体间抗剪阻力U,进而推导出刀盘切削扭矩T的计算公式。分析得到特定刀盘上刮刀的p,Q,U值随土体c,φ值增大而增大,通过适当提高刮刀刃面粗糙度来增大摩擦可使土体更易被切至破坏;p,Q,U值随刀盘转速ω增大而减小,p,Q随支护荷载p线性增大且p对于被切削土体受力的影响在砂性土中较大,最终给出特定刀盘掘进至部分种类土体中的切削扭矩值作为工程参考。

Real-time analysis and prediction of shield cutterhead torque using optimized gated recurrent unit neural network

An accurate prediction of earth pressure balance (EPB) shield moving performance is important to ensure the safety tunnel excavation. A hybrid model is developed based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network. PSO is utilized to assign the optimal hyperparameters of GRU neural network. There are mainly four steps: data collection and processing, hybrid model establishment, model performance evaluation and correlation analysis. The developed model provides an alternative to tackle with time-series data of tunnel project. Apart from that, a novel framework about model application is performed to provide guidelines in practice. A tunnel project is utilized to evaluate the performance of proposed hybrid model. Results indicate that geological and construction variables are significant to the model performance. Correlation analysis shows that construction variables (main thrust and foam liquid volume) display the highest correlation with the cutterhead torque (CHT). This work provides a feasible and applicable alternative way to estimate the performance of shield tunneling.     

Radiative and conductive heat transfer in a 4-K helium phase separator with minimum heat loss

Improvements in simulation and practice for the heat load of a helium phase separator are discussed. The separator cryostat (volume 100 L, cooling capacity 1.5 W at 4.2 K) re-condenses and stores liquid helium. An additional radiation shield was designed to minimize the radiative heat transfer and to decrease the heat conduction. The experimental results indicate that the heat load of the separator was decreased from 5.56 W to 1.555 W, a gain about 4 W of heat load, which is an improvement by 72%. Liquid helium (50 L) was stored in the separator stably for more than 90 h. Software implementing the finite-element method (FEM) was used to predict the temperature distribution of pipe fittings and the separator heat load with or without the additional radiation shield. The results of these simulations show that the temperatures of the pipe fittings were significantly decreased in the separator with additional radiation shields. For the heat load, the trends of simulation and experimental results were similar. This work provides a simple and effective method to minimize the radiation heat load of a separator. In this paper, we discuss in detail the improvements of the model, the experimental setup and the results of comparisons between experiments and simulations.     

盾构隧道管片接头抗弯承载力计算模型研究

盾构隧道管片接头承载力的计算是管片设计和服役性能评估的重要部分和关键部分,针对形式相同而细部构造不同的管片接头,提出一套适用于其抗弯承载力计算的理论方法十分重要。鉴于此,文章基于接缝面的不连续特征将接缝面进行适当分区,建立盾构隧道管片接头抗弯承载力计算模型,并给出对应的求解算法。将理论模型的计算结果与接头足尺试验结果进行对比分析,验证理论模型的正确性,然后采用该计算模型对管片接头抗弯承载力进行分析与讨论。结果表明：管片接头抗弯承载力曲线具有明显的非线性特征,随着轴力的增大,接头极限弯矩呈先增大后减小的趋势。混凝土强度对于接头抗弯承载力的影响较为显著,而螺栓强度和螺栓直径对于接头抗弯承载力的影响程度受轴力控制,轴力较小时,上述两参数的增大对于接头抗弯承载力的提升效果明显,轴力较大时效果逐渐减弱,当轴力高于某一阈值后,螺栓对于接头抗弯承载力无影响。文章所提出的抗弯承载力计算模型与研究结果以期为盾构隧道结构设计、试验和性能评估提供重要参考。
