皖中膨胀土的承载比(CBR)强度特性研究

针对皖中地区高速公路建设中遇到的膨胀土问题,选取合六叶高速公路典型土样开展了系统的承载比（CBR）特性试验研究,并在此基础上探讨了膨胀土作为路基填料的适用性。研究表明:（1）起始含水量对膨胀土CBR值影响显著,CBR最大值对应的含水量高于最佳含水量,且击实功越大,二者差值也越大;（2）CBR膨胀量随起始含水量增大而减小,起始含水量越低,CBR膨胀量就越大,路基的水稳性就越差;（3）当击实功较大时,膨胀土的最佳含水量较小,适合填筑的可变含水量范围较宽,建议现场施工控制采用重型击实标准;（4）在重型击实条件下,将弱膨胀土起始含水量控制在比最优含水量大2%⁴%范围内,能同时满足压实度和CBR值要求以用于填筑下路堤,中膨胀土作为路基填料时必须经过改性处理。研究结果对于在膨胀土地区进行公路建设具有参考意义。     

Calculation of Heavy Gas Spreading Over the Earth Surface by a Three-Dimensional Model

A mathematical model is constructed for motion of a heavy gas along the underlying terrain on the basis of equations of gas dynamics with allowance for the force of gravity, transfer by air masses, and turbulent diffusion. With the use of the method of coarse particles, the time dependences of the coordinates of the fore front, upper boundary, and volume of the cloud of a heavy gas in the presence and absence of wind are analyzed. It is shown that turbulent diffusion leads to a linear increase in cloud volume in time. Three-dimensional shapes of the heavy gas cloud are obtained for various ambient conditions. It is shown that, despite diffusion, the heavy gas spreads predominantly along the underlying terrain.     

Analysis model to simulate the cracked pipe buried in soil

This paper describes the use of the finite element method to simulate crack propagation in a pipeline in the presence of soil backfill. Since typical values for soil modulus are known, a spring element can be used to simulate the effects of backfilled soil on crack propagation. This consists of the relationship between the soil property and the stiffness of the spring element, and the effect of backfill depth on the crack propagation in the pipes. By equating crack driving force,G, in the presence of soil, to the dynamic fracture toughness of the pipeline material, a theoretical predictive capability is obtained for the first time for the gas transmission and distribution pipelines. Numerical calculations have also been carried out for the cracked pipe with backfill and without backfill.

高速荷载下多孔饱和地基的动力响应

研究高速荷载作用下梁与多孔饱和半空间的动力响应。由Fourier变换求解多孔饱和固体的动力基本方程，根据梁与半空间的接触条件得出多孔饱和半空间上梁的垂直位移的表达式。文中的数值算例考虑了荷载移动速度对梁的动力位移的影响，并与相应的弹性半空间问题作了对比。从算例中可以发现荷载移动速度对动力位移有很大的影响，当移动速度与半空间的表面波速相近时，地面会当产生很大的振动，同时还发现当速度大于介质的剪切波速时，多孔饱和半空间上梁的动力响应与弹性半空间上梁的动力响应有很大的差别。

A nonlinear model for footings on granular bed–stone column reinforced earth beds

In the present study, an attempt has been made to model and analyze a combined footing supporting column, which is to be constructed on very soft soil. In view of small bearing capacity and very large deflections, foundations are constructed after improving the original ground. Here, the ground has been improved by providing the stone columns in the soft soil and on top of this improved ground; a granular fill layer has been placed just below the footing. The footing has been modeled as a beam having finite flexural rigidity. Granular fill layer, soft soil and stone columns have been represented by Pasternak shear layer, Kelvin–Voigt body and the Winkler springs, respectively. Nonlinear behavior of these has been considered by means of hyperbolic constitutive relationships. Governing differential equations for response of the system have been derived and presented in non-dimensional form. These equations have been solved using appropriate boundary conditions by means of an iterative Gauss Elimination technique.     

A dynamic terramechanic model for small lightweight vehicles with rigid wheels and grousers operating in sandy soil

This paper presents a validated dynamic terramechanic model for rigid wheels with grousers that may be used for planetary and terrestrial mobile robots operating in loose sandy soil. The proposed model is based on established analytical terramechanic theories and incorporates two new dimensionless empirical coefficients. The additional terms in the model are based on existing soil mechanic theories that vary as a function of soil properties, slip conditions, and vehicle loading. The proposed model was able to capture and predict the dynamic oscillations observed in experimental data from a single-wheel testbed for the sinkage, drawbar pull and normal load. For the operating conditions tested in this research the simulation results using the proposed model show an improvement over traditional terramechanic models for capturing the dynamic effects of grousers.     

A novel torque analysis method for drilling deep lunar soil by DEM

In order to solve the torque design problem of deep lunar soil sampling using drilling, a novel torque analysis method was presented based on discrete element model (DEM). This method includes three stages: drilling simulation of the bit and stem segment, resultant torque calculation, and predicted curve fitting. First, special drilling models were designed for a bit and stem separately. A high-density equivalent particle group, boundary vibration control, pre-drilling simulation and constant pressure surface control were designed for the bit and stem drilling modelling at different depths to ensure the rationality of the model. An example of the torque synthesis process was given, and the simulation time was analyzed. Finally, the simulation predicted torque curve was plotted and compared with the experimental curve. The experimental and simulation curves show that as the drilling depth increases, the torque increases approximately linearly first and then flattens out gradually after a depth of 1 m. The consistency between the two results indicated that the proposed method was validated. Using this method, engineers can take short time to analyze the torque and design basic parameters of the drill mechanism. The problem of high experimental cost and long simulation time in torque design is solved.     

Analysis of a resistance force for the locked-wheel of push-pull locomotion rovers using large subsidence

This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the resistance force of the locked-wheel for push-pull locomotion rovers using intentional sinkage. Our previous study has confirmed that push-pull locomotion using intentional subsidence at an initial position can contribute to improving the traveling performance. The key factor of this scheme is the resistance force of the locked-wheel. However, the resistance force at different sinkage conditions and wheel sizes (e.g., mass, width, and diameter) remains unclear, especially for the individual locked-wheel. The detailed investigation of this interaction can contribute to the accurate estimation of rover mobility. This paper, therefore, investigates the locked-wheel and soil interaction at different sinkage conditions experimentally, especially focusing on the intentional sinkage condition. Additionally, the resistance force is considered theoretically through the knowledge based on the soil flow patterns beneath the locked-wheel. The experimental results confirmed that the resistance force of the locked-wheel rose as the initial sinkage, wheel size, and weight increases. Furthermore, the theoretical calculation suggested the resistance force increased with a similar tendency of the experimental data.
