Stiffness Softening

Due to the thick soil layer, short backfill time, and low degree of consolidation of the soil-rock mixture backfill in Chongqing city, metro train tunnels passing through this type of strata are prone to large settlements during operation, which greatly affects the stability of the tunnel and the safety of metro train operations. In response to this problem, the dynamic triaxial test of the soil-rock mixture backfill under cyclic loading was carried out to study the dynamic characteristics of the soil-rock mixture backfill under cyclic loading. The effect of initial consolidation degree, effective consolidation confining pressure, and rock content on the stiffness softening of soil-rock mixture backfill was analyzed. The results show that the initial consolidation degree, effective consolidation confining pressure, and rock content are all important factors affecting the stiffness of soil-rock mixture backfill under cyclic loading. As the number of cycles increases, the lower the initial consolidation degree and effective consolidation confining pressure, the faster the attenuation of the softening index, and the larger the amplitude. As the rock content increases, the softening index increases and the stiffness of the backfill changes from softening to hardening. Based on the test data, the softening-hardening model of the soil-rock mixture is established, which is in good agreement with the field test results. This study can provide a reference for predicting and controlling the postconstruction settlement of the metro tunnel in the soil-rock mixture backfill.

The fatigue damage of rock is an important factor affecting the stability of rock structure. In this paper, the mechanical response of coal under cyclic loading was studied. In order to accurately describe the deformation characteristics of coal under cyclic loading, an elastic-plastic model of coal based on the theory of subloading surface was established and verified by experiments. The model can well reflect the Mancin effect and ratcheting effect of coal samples, which is basically consistent with the actual deformation characteristics of coal, and the theoretical value and experimental value are in good agreement. At the same time, the cyclic response characteristics of specimens under strain load disturbance were analyzed. The results show that the specific strain disturbance can only cause a certain damage to coal and the area of hysteresis loop decreases first, then stabilizes, and then increases as the number of cycles increases. In addition, the damage factor Dn in the model was analyzed in this paper. Dn, which can accurately describe the damage process of coal, accurately locate the time point of disturbance load change, and has greater sensitivity to coal failure, is helpful to improve the accuracy of the stability judgment of coal structure and ensure the safety of engineering. The above results are of great significance for strengthening the understanding of coal mass instability process and mode under cyclic loading.

Engineering Practices

Aeolian sand is one commonly used subgrade filling in Xinjiang Oasis-desert region, engineering practices also proved its applicability as subgrade filling. In order to find the law of Aeolian sand subgrade static strength after cyclic loading, the paper studied the static strength of Aeolian sand before and after cyclic loading through the dynamic and static triaxial tests. It is concluded that the greater cyclic loading is, the more Aeolian sand static strength peak decreases. When cyclic loading is small, the bigger confining pressure and consolidation ratio are, the static strength peak increases more after cyclic loading. The bigger initial static deviator stress is, the more Aeolian sand static strength peak reduces. The frequency of cyclic loading has little effect on static strength. In order to keep the stability of low embankment, we should restrict overload , ensure subgrade and foundation consolidation adequately, at the same time using gravel or geosynthetic materials to package edge of roadbed, so as to increase confining pressure. The research results can provide reference for the design and construction of Aeolian sand low subgrade in Xinjiang Oasis-desert region.

The Relationship

Considering the relationship between inhomogeneous plastic deformation and fatigue damage, deformation inhomogeneity evolution and fatigue failure of superalloy GH4169 under temperature 500 °C and macro tension compression cyclic loading are studied, by using crystal plasticity calculation associated with polycrystalline representative Voronoi volume element (RVE). Different statistical standard deviation and differential entropy of meso strain are used to measure the inhomogeneity of deformation, and the relationship between the inhomogeneity and strain cycle is explored by cyclic numerical simulation. It is found from the research that the standard deviations of each component of the strain tensor at the cyclic peak increase monotonically with the cyclic loading, and they are similar to each other. The differential entropy of each component of the strain tensor also increases with the number of cycles, and the law is similar. On this basis, the critical values determined by statistical standard deviations of the strain components and the equivalent strain, and that by differential entropy of strain components, are, respectively, used as fatigue criteria, then predict the fatigue–life curves of the material. The predictions are verified with reference to the measured results, and their deviations are proved to be in a reasonable range.
