Abstract
In the current study, a dynamic porous thermo-elastic model for saturated frozen soil was proposed. The kinematic equations, constitutive equations, mass balance equations, and generalized heat conduction equations were derived to realize the thermal-hydro-mechanical coupling of the model. The dispersion equation of thermo-elastic waves in porous media with the consideration of pore-ice was derived. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient of thermo-elastic waves in saturated frozen soil were predicted by the proposed model. Good effectiveness and accuracy have been validated by comparing the numerical results of the proposed model and results of the Leclaire-Carcione model in literatures. Finally, a study was conducted to investigate the influence of thermal effects on the wave propagation of bulk waves (P1, P2, P3, S1 and S2 waves) and thermal waves (T waves) in saturated frozen soil was analyzed. It is indicated that the impact of thermal effects on the propagation characteristics of bulk and thermal waves varies significantly across different media. For porous media containing pore-ice, the phase velocity of the P-wave may be overestimated while neglecting thermal effects.
期刊介绍:
The use of computers is firmly established in geotechnical engineering and continues to grow rapidly in both engineering practice and academe. The development of advanced numerical techniques and constitutive modeling, in conjunction with rapid developments in computer hardware, enables problems to be tackled that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Computers and Geotechnics provides an up-to-date reference for engineers and researchers engaged in computer aided analysis and research in geotechnical engineering. The journal is intended for an expeditious dissemination of advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics. Contributions on advances in numerical algorithms, computer implementation of new constitutive models and probabilistic methods are especially encouraged.
