The plane finite element analysis is mostly adopted in soft rock tunnel excavation instead of three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis at present, but almost every underground engineering is a spatial nonlinear problem which, in many cases, cannot be simplified into a plane problem. This paper presents a three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analysis of incremental variable plastic in soft rock tunnel excavation, through analyzing the tunnel excavation and support, and combining the incremental variable plastic stiffness method into three-dimensional elastic-plastic model in light of the advantage of increment variable stiffness method and the incremental additional load method. Simulation results show that, the three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analysis model presented in this paper changes little final deformation under different load release coefficients, together with small support stress.

Contact Part

This work presents the results from a three dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) of an elastic-plastic asperity contact model for two spherical bodies sliding across each other with various preset vertical interferences. Stresses, forces, contact areas, deformations, and net energy loss are presented for steel-on-steel and aluminum-on-copper contact.
