    CHEN Yongjiang,TANG Wencheng
    2013, 47 (09):  1335-1340. 
    Abstract ( 1087 )   Save
    Being capable of predicting the friction torque of the ball screw accurately allows the designer to correctly determine the energy loss and heat generation rate. Based on the theory of creep, the sliding forces between the ball and and nut raceway were calculated, then a creepage analytical model for the ball screw was established. This model was used to analyze the quantitative relationship between the creepage/spin and the tangential tractions. The result shows that there exists non-linear incremental relationship between creep rate and friction, and the spinning motion will cause an additional traction transverse to the rolling direction. Tangential movement and the spin motion have a strong coupling effect. Finally, the ball screw tests were performed on a special machine, it was found that the predictions of the new analytic torque model are in good agreement with the test results.

    2013, 47 (09):  1341-1346. 
    Abstract ( 878 )   Save
    Rare earth solution (RES) and coupling agent surface modification were employed towards poly-p-phenylene benzobisthiasole (PBO) fibers, and impact and tribological properties of the untreated and treated PBO/TPI composites were evaluated. The results show that both RES and coupling agent surface modification can improve the interfacial adhesion between PBO fibers and TPI matrix, and accordingly enhance the impact and tribological properties. Compared with the untreated and coupling agent treated PBO/TPI composites, the RES treated composite has better interfacial adhesion. The RES surface modification is the most effective one to improve the impact and tribological properties under the same test conditions. This is because that the ratio of oxygen/carbon on the surface of RES treated PBO fiber is the maximal one, which indicates the content of polar groups on the surface of PBO fibers increases compared with the others. The increase in the amount of polar groups could strengthen the interfacial adhesion between PBO fibers and TPI matrix effectively.

    Thermoelastohydrodynamic Lubrication Analysis of  Misaligned Plain Journal Bearings
    ZHANG Zhenshan,DAI Xudong,ZHANG Zhinan,XIE Youbai
    2013, 47 (09):  1347-1352. 
    Abstract ( 1393 )   Save
    By the synthetic solution of the generalized Reynolds equation, three-dimension energy equation, and heat conduction equations and deformations of the solids, this paper developed the thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) model of misaligned plain journal bearing (MPJB). On the basis, series of results were provided to examine the effects of elastic and thermal deformations on the performance of the MPJB. The results show that the elastic and thermal deformations have remarkable influence on the performance of the MPJB. The elastic deformation leads to the creation of the local “pocket” in the oil film thickness. Under this condition, the maximum oil film pressure decreases significantly. The thermal deformation gives rise to the emergence of the local “bowl” in the oil film thickness. Therefore, the minimum oil film thickness increases obviously. However, the influence of the thermal deformation on the maximum oil film pressure is very small. All properties of the bearing vary significantly for the complete TEHD simulation, thus, it is essential to develop the TEHD model for analyzing the bearing performance.

    QI Yongfeng1,ZHANG Mingchuan2,YU Juan2
    2013, 47 (09):  1358-1362. 
    Abstract ( 792 )   Save
    The transient whole-coupling model in a spherical coordinate system on single pulverized coal pyrolysis and combustion was developed, taking into consideration various pyrolysis product release, heat transfer, mass transfer, and chemical reactions. The igntion and combustion characteristics of Shenmu bituminous coal were simulated. The result shows that the ignition of pulverized coal begins from volatiles, and the volatile flame can move rapidly to a position departing from the center of the coal particle by about 29 times radius, due to the limitation of oxygen diffusion; when the coal pyrolysis is completed, the CO generated by surface oxidation reaction has been ignited, the flame returns almost to the coke particle surface, the particle temperature rises abruptly, and the coke combustion is controlled by the surface oxidation reaction; with the combustion rate increasing, the coke combustion begins to be controlled by the surface reducing reaction, and the char flame departs from the particle surface again.

    Abstract ( 815 )   Save
    The hydroxy-aluminum/polyaluminum modified clay and the clay only samples were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), unconconsolidated undrained (UU) triaxial strength test, unconfined compressive strength testing techniques, swelling potential tests and so on.

The clay content decreased dramatically, while the silt content increased. This study suggests that the hydroxy-aluminum/polyaluminum can influence the mechanical and physical properties of montmorillonite clay by physicochemical interaction.

    Abstract ( 1049 )   Save
    Based on particle flow theory, the process of formation, development, destruction and re-formation of the soil arching in loose media landslide were systematically studied by using PFC2D program to analyze the effect of meso-mechanical parameters such as friction coefficient and porosity on pile-soil interaction characteristics. The results show that the soil arching produced by the anti-slide pile for the first time bears the ultimate bearing capacity; after the destruction of the soil arching, subsequent formation of the soil arching effect bears the residual capacity; the value of residual capacity fluctuates, but within a certain limit; the ultimate bearing capacity, the residual capacity and the maximum pile load distribution ratio decrease with the increase of pile clear spacing, and increase with the increase of pile width, yet the relation is not a linear one; the soil arching effect is greatly affected by the friction coefficient within a certain limit, and as the friction coefficient increases, the effect is more significant, the ultimate bearing capacity of soil arching is larger, and the maximum pile load distribution ratio tends to increase; soil arching effect is significantly affected by the porosity of particle aggregate, and the soil arch ultimate bearing capacity of low density loose landslide is equivalent to the residual capacity of high density loose landslide.

    Abstract ( 942 )   Save
    Based on the polyester welded biaxial geogrid (PET25-25), different forms of geogrid were designed, such as uniaxial, biaxial, triaxial and multiaxial ones. By means of triaxial compression tests, the strength property and failure modes of these forms were obtained. Besides, the influence of the space between transverse ribs in uniaxial geogrid on the strength and the configuration of reinforcement inside the basic geogrid element were studied. It can be seen from the test results that different forms of geogrid had different reinforcing effects; the multiaxial geogrid had the best reinforcing effect, consuming the greatest amount of material, 2.21 times of the basic geogrid element; biaxial geogrids performed better in reinforcing than uniaxial and triaxial ones; the comparison of uniaxial geogrids and triaxial ones were different in different confining pressures, that is, in low confining pressure, uniaxial geogrids performed better than triaxial ones, in contrast, in high confining pressure, triaxial ones did better. In addition, the reinforcing effect of uniaxial geogrids increased with the space of transverse rib decreasing; uniaxial geogrids mainly improved the cohesion of reinforced sand, however, other forms of geogrid mainly increased the friction angle.

    Particle Flow Modeling of Soil-Rock Mixtures In-situ Tests
    DONG Qipeng1,LU Zheng1,ZHAN Yongxiang1,WANG Jiaqiang2
    2013, 47 (09):  1382-1389. 
    Abstract ( 932 )   Save
    The numerical simulation of soil-rock mixtures(S/RM) shear test was successfully performed using the particle flow theory based on particle flow code (PFC), by creating irregular clumps, constant normal stress and rock content in shearing surface. Based on the clump of PFC with different stone content, different normal stress of S/RM direct shear test simulation were elaborately discussed. The reliability of the simulation method was verified by comparing calculation results and in-situ shear test. The main research results indicate that with the increase of rock content, the shear stress and the peak shear stress increase, while the shear displacement at the peak shear stress decreases. S/RM samples exhibit shear dilatation characteristics at low normal stress and tend to transform from shear contraction to dilatation at higher stress, with pressure shear failure characteristics. In the near shear plane distributing the irregular rock clump, the shear appeares in the process of extrusion sliding and rolling shear failure surface grows concave and convex. With shear displacement increasing, the shear stress and strain energy  fluctuate and grow gentle. The peak shear stress obtained from the numerical calculation is higher than that of the insitu test. The calculated peak shear stress can be decreased effectively by reducing the particle radius.

    FAN Yongfeng
    2013, 47 (09):  1390-1394. 
    Abstract ( 810 )   Save
    In order to investigate the effect of eluviations on the mechanic performance of lime stabilized expansive soil, laboratory tests were conducted to reveal the influencing rules of lime proportion and age on the swellshrink properties of stabilized expansive soil. An optimal lime proportion was derived, a measuring device of eluviations was designed and the detailed test steps were given for reference. Besides, the variation law of the content of Ca2+ and the strength indexes with leaching days were discussed according to leaching tests. Based on the results of the laboratory tests, it is found that the cohesion force of the stabilized soils decreases with the decrease of the content of Ca2+, however, the internal friction angle remains constant. The influence of the decrease of the content of Ca2+ on the strength is disadvantageous to the long-term performance of subgrade.

    Abstract ( 1150 )   Save
    The mathematical expressions of internal friction angle considering the influence of intermediate principal stress under true triaxial stress were deduced. After a comparison of the results of the true triaxial tests of gravel, Q2 loess and Santa Monica Beach sand, the relationships between internal friction angle and intermediate principal stress coefficient were studied based on DP yield criteria. The results show that the calculated values of internal friction angle with D-P yield criteria equal the testing results when the intermediate principal stress coefficient is suitable for the corresponding criterion. In order to obtain reasonable results, appropriate D-P yield criteria should be chosen for different materials.

    Three-dimensional limit analysis was utilized to determine the stability of the convex corner in a slurry-supported trench. Analytical solutions were derived for the safety factor of the convex corner stability in a slurry-supported trench. The failure surface has the shape of logarithm helicoids, with outline profile defined by a log-spiral curve. Power expressions were obtained for dissipation rate, gravity and slurry pressure. By solving the energy balance equation, the equation of safety factor for convex corner stability was obtained. The slurry weight ratio, the slurry surface depth, the angle of internal friction and other parameters were discussed. The result indicates that the stability factor increases with increasing slurry and soil bulk density ratio, cohesion, friction angle, but it decreases with decreasing slurry level depth and trench depth ratio, trench width and depth ratio.

    Abstract ( 854 )   Save
    In order to investigate the effect of soft soil with strong creep resistance on the deformation during construction, based on the foundation pit engineering of the South East Outer Ring Road Station in Ningbo, the deformation of the building envelope and the external surface subsidence were analyzed. The results show that the effect of the foundation excavation on the deformation of the building envelope and the external surface subsidence has an obvious time effect. So the time of deeper soil excavation should be strictly controlled  followed by timely erection of support and pouring of concrete floor. Meanwhile, the deformation and longterm displacement of the pit were calculated by combining the finite element modeling (FEM) with the displacement aging coefficient and taking the strong creep resistance into account. The numerical results conform to the monitored results,
    which verifies the feasibility of the method, and provides reference for similar excavation engineering.

    Abstract ( 886 )   Save
    Based on transient finite element method (FEM) and displacement aging coefficient, a method was  proposed to obtain the influence of the rheological properties of soft soil on engineering construction. The transient soil displacement was simulated using the FEM simulation method. According to analysis of soft soil from displacement timeliness, its transient displacement could be changed into long-time displacement with rheology. And the displacement aging coefficient was calculated from triaxial rheological test of soft soil and the most negative time in the site. So this coefficient can reflect the rheological unstable condition of soft soil. A case of excavation simulation of the South East Outer Ring Road Station in Ningbo was conducted using this method. The calculated displacement result of soft soil agrees well with the on-site monitoring result.

    A water level line equation under the coupling action of complete pumping-recharge confined well group was derived using the mirror image and superposition principle. Besides, based on the water level equation, an optimization design method for the deep foundation pit dewatering-recharge system was proposed, taking the allowable deformation of pit and surrounding environment as the main constraints. Taking the deep pit of a subway station as an example, the mathematical modeling and solving process for optimizing the number and assign position of pumping as well as the recharge well points were described. The results show that optimization design can not only ensure the safety of surrounding environment (nearby buildings etc.) and the normal operation of the dewatering project, but also reduce the project cost, which will be helpful for the same dewatering project.

    Abstract ( 1008 )   Save
    The new Austrian tunneling method (NATM) is widely used in tunnel construction. Aimed at the deficiency of the secondary support time in NATM, the defect of classical ground pressure theory was analyzed, and a circular target optimization theory of tunnel support was proposed based on support control curve, engineering geology condition, and monitoring data. The support structure stress and surrounding rock deformation relation with different stress release rate were obtained by finite element method calculation. The target limited displacement was determined by considering support stress and surrounding rock deformation, and revised by the calculation of later excavation effect. The finial proper condition for secondary supporting was determined by considering the in-situ monitoring data. At last, this method was verified by engineering application.

    2013, 47 (09):  1441-1446. 
    Abstract ( 902 )   Save
    The FEM method and theory of structure mechanics were adopted to analyze the relationship between the shape or the size of the opening and the support system stiffness of the beam and slab structure. The response of the lateral displacement and inner force of diaphragm wall with the variation of support stiffness in different depth were studied. The results show that the relation curves of the structure stiffness and opening size are different between the circular-shaped opening and square-shaped opening; however, the relation curves of the structure stiffness and opening area are similar between different opening shapes, and the opening area ratio can be used to determine the minimum structure stiffness and the maximum opening size of the beam and slab structure in engineering design. The lateral displacement of enclosure structure increases with the decrease of the support system stiffness, but no adverse impacts are noted to the inner force of the enclose structure. The inner force of the enclosure structure can be optimized by adjusting the opening size and shape of the beam and slab structure.

    Abstract ( 861 )   Save
    Taking into consideration the influence of intermediate principal stress on deep-buried circular tunnels, and under plane strain hypothesis, the unified strength criterion was precisely matched to the Drucker-Prager strength criterion. The analytical expression of intermediate principal stress in plastic state for the perfect elastoplastic material with dilatancy was derived from the Drucker-Prager strength criterion. Combining the analytical expression of intermediate principal stress and non-associated flow rule, unified solutions for stress and strain of the tunnel plastic area were obtained. The result shows that the classic solutions of Kastner are special cases of the unified solutions. A practical engineering instance was given according to the unified solutions and the regularities which intermediate and dilation angle act on the surrounding rock of the deepburied circular tunnel plastic area were discussed.

    In the construction of a certain tunnel in Shenzhen Metro, a field test of segment characteristics was conducted for the novel shield after the drill and blast composite construction method. The concrete strain gauge, earth pressure cell and reinforced axial dynamometer were installed. The variation laws for the longitudinal strain of girth contact surface for concrete segment, earth pressure and axial force of reinforced instrument were monitored and discussed. The results show that the variation with time of monitoring values can be divided into two stages; the overall prepressure basically meets the requirement; the longitudinal strain of girth contact surface for concrete segment and earth pressure are very unevenly distributed; grouting can improve and control the force and floating of segment; reinforcement design of segment should be optimized as the measured axial force is much smaller than its design value; a number of orderly tightening ring bolts and grouting behind wall segment are needed.

    Abstract ( 813 )   Save
    In order to study the embankment reinforced with Horizontal-Vertical (H-V) reinforcement under traffic loading,  a two-dimensional model was calculated by finite element method (FEM) program ABAQUS using dynamic explicit. According to the result of dynamic triaxial tests, fitting strainsoftening curve was written into user subroutine in ABAQUS. The deformation and strain of the embankment without reinforcement, with ordinary reinforcement and

The H-V reinforcement significantly reduced the strain, vertical displacement and horizontal displacement and controlled differential settlement in embankment under traffic loading. H-V reinforcement had a better reinforced effect than ordinary reinforcement, especially in the control of horizontal displacement.

    Calculation Model of Shield Tunneling Stability Based on Real Face Failure Modes
    HU Xinyu1,ZHANG Zixin2
    2013, 47 (09):  1469-1476. 
    Abstract ( 794 )   Save
    The assumption of excavation failure mode is based on the traditional wedge model which is not suited to usual clay soil and sandyclay layered soil. This paper presents a novel wedge model for the analysis of face stability, taking into consideration the real failure modes, the character difference of layered soil and the arching effect of soils. This model is an extension of the widely-used Terzaghi’s pressure equation. The results show that the critical supporting pressure, greatly affected by the overburden soil pressure, increases sharply with the increase of embded tunnel depth. The critical supporting pressure could be determined accurately by the suggested novel wedge model. The value of supporting pressure is closely related to the openangle α and dip angle  θ of the wedge itself and is unique when α=90°-θ. The rationality and feasibility of the novel wedge model and the determining method for critical supporting pressure were verified by a field case and the results could provide a reasonable reference for similar engineering conditions.

    2013, 47 (09):  1477-1481. 
    Abstract ( 929 )   Save
    Changes of cushion roughness caused by scraping-paving and change of particle size will affect slurry diffusion, grouting volume and grouting pressure, when adopting grouting method in foundation treatment of immersed tunnel. Model test was conducted to analyze slurry diffusion, grouting volume and grouting pressure during single-hole grouting and dual-hole grouting, adopting 2mm, 5mm and 10mm diameter particles for cushion. It was indicated that the velocity of slurry diffusion and grouting volume increased with the increase of cushion particle size. The range of grouting pressure fluctuation would be larger when adopting larger particle size cushion, the grouting pump would be difficult to control and the slurry diffusion would turn to one direction. Based on the test result, the slurry diffusion velocity, grouting volume and grouting pressure ought to be considered comprehensively when choosing cushion particle size.
