Abstract
Excavation damage zone (EDZ) is an important index to evaluate the damage and failure of surrounding rock. Based on the rock phase field model considering rock nonlinear fracture criteria, the concept of excavation damage zone model is defined, the zoning criterion of excavation damage zone model is proposed. The topological region centered on the contour boundary of the tunnel is defined as damage phase field. The tunnel excavation damage zone based on the modified phase field model, and the inflection point of damage phase field gradient change is taken as the criterion of EDZ. By comparing and analyzing the site monitoring and numerical simulation results of Mine-by tunnel excavation damage zone at −420 m URL, the error is about 0.5%, which verifies the validity of the tunnel EDZ phase field model. The distribution characteristics of EDZ of tunnels with different section shapes are analyzed, the main damage characteristics and key reinforcement areas of tunnels with different shapes are expounded, and the rationality of phase field model of excavation damage zone is further explained.
期刊介绍:
GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) is a quarterly journal with the goal of publishing full-length original articles addressing the modeling and simulation of systems involving particles and particle methods. The goal is to enhance communication among researchers in the applied sciences who use "particles'''' in one form or another in their research.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Particle-based materials and numerical methods have become wide-spread in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, biology. The term "particle methods/mechanics'''' has now come to imply several different things to researchers in the 21st century, including:
(a) Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particulate flows, plasmas, swarms, etc.,
(b) Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale and
(c) Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in numerical methods such as
Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), to name a few.
