Due to fluid viscous dissipation terms, wave propagation in the dCS theory yields an additional rotational wave compared to Biot (BT) theory. In addition, introducing porosity as a dynamic variable in the dCS model allows solid‐fluid nonreciprocal interactions. Due to the volume‐averaging technique, the dCS model further accounts for a macroscopic shear modulus and adds a new macroscopic constant. The porous media governing equations are formulated in terms of solid displacement, fluid pressure, and fluid displacement. Space and time convergence rates for the FE dCS model are demonstrated in a one‐dimensional case. A dimensionless analysis performed in the dCS framework led to negligible differences between BT and dCS models except when assuming high fluid viscosity. Domains with small characteristic lengths resulted in BT and dCS damping terms in the same order of magnitude. One‐ and two‐dimensional examples showed that dCS nonreciprocal interactions and the macroscopic shear modulus are responsible for modifying wave patterns. A two‐dimensional injection well simulation with water and slickwater showed higher wave attenuation for the latter. High frequencies in dCS model were noticed to yield more significant changes in wave patterns. The numerical results highlight the contributions of the dCS porous media model and its importance in simulations of laboratory scale experiments, ultrasonic frequencies, and highly viscous fluids.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interfaces between adjacent soil layers are incomplete contact, and the water within the interstices impedes the transfer of heat, manifesting a thermal resistance effect. To address this phenomenon, a synchronous measurement system for the thermal gradient and the heat flux density between the soil interfaces has been developed. Applying Fourier's law of heat conduction, the thermal resistance coefficient has been determined. Based on the theory of thermo‐hydro‐mechanical coupling, a multi‐zone axisymmetric model for saturated soils that considers thermal resistance effect has been proposed. Semi‐analytical solutions were derived and validated through comparison with the custom FEM model and field experiments. The thermal consolidation characteristics of the multi‐zone soils under various thermal contact models have also been discussed, with a comprehensive analysis of the influence of different parameters. Outcomes show that: the generalized incomplete thermal contact model provides a better description of the thermal resistance phenomenon between multi‐zone soils interfaces; ignoring the thermal resistance effect leads to an overestimation of the deformation during the thermal consolidation, and, the thermal resistance effect decreases the influence of the thermo‐osmosis effect on the consolidation characteristics.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This complex system poses significant challenges in the control design due to parameter uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics. We show that the RL algorithm can interact efficiently with a robust controller, by choosing the controller parameters in real time, reducing human‐induced seismicity, and allowing the consideration of further production objectives, for example, minimal control power. Simulations are presented for a simplified underground reservoir under various energy demand scenarios, demonstrating the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed control–RL approach.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142832151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to heterogeneity and discontinuity within SRM slopes, the inherent spatial variability can be observed in soil and rock properties. However, spatial variability in rock and soil properties and layouts has not been well considered in the stability analysis of SRM slopes. Additionally, SRM slopes commonly show a rotated anisotropic fabric pattern, while such fabric has rarely been accounted for in SRM slope stability analysis. In this study, a two‐phase rotated anisotropy random field simulation method is proposed to model these spatial variations simultaneously. The proposed approach is then integrated with the finite element method (FEM) to study the impacts of soil volume fraction and bedding dip angle (i.e., rotated anisotropy) on the probability of failure (pf) and failure mode of SRM slopes. It is found that considering only spatially varying layouts can underestimate pf by up to 97% compared to considering both spatially variable properties and layouts. The increase in soil volume fraction significantly improves pf and the likelihood of deep failure. The bedding dip angle greatly influences pf, yet deep failure remains dominant across different bedding dip angles. Furthermore, the failure mode of SRM slopes is more sensitive to the changes in soil volume fraction than to bedding dip angle.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142832152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practice, the use of constitutive models capable of capturing this phenomenon and assessing structures susceptible to liquefaction is increasing. Numerous constitutive models exist and have been applied to model static liquefaction of tailings materials, but the extent of the influence exerted by the choice of constitutive model on analysis outcomes remains to be determined. This study addresses this uncertainty by employing the Clay and Sand Model (CASM) and NorSand models to analyze the well‐documented case of the B1 dam failure in Brazil. Initially, a back analysis of the failure was conducted, and further analyses were carried out by simulating hypothetical triggers: crest loading and increased gravity. The influence of the adopted constitutive model on results was analyzed through the failure mechanisms generated, stress paths, and levels of disturbances necessary to trigger liquefaction. Both models produced compatible failure mechanisms, with slight differences observed in the level of disturbance required to trigger liquefaction. The results obtained from the B1 case indicate that the most important aspect related to the constitutive model in assessing structures susceptible to static liquefaction lies in the constitutive model's capacity to represent the sudden strength loss due to pore pressure generation, while the particular formulations employed in each method tend to be a secondary consideration in the analysis.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142820745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corresponding solutions for pile–soil relative displacement, skin friction, and axial force on the pile shaft are derived by means of semi‐analytical methods, and they are validated by comparing with experimental results and numerical simulation results. Based on the proposed semi‐analytical model, a series of parametric analyses are conducted to investigate the influences of fractional orders, viscosity coefficients, pile–soil interface parameters, and pile‐head loads on the pile–soil interaction characteristics. It is observed that during the transition stage, the axial force increases linearly with depth in the plastic segment, and then increases nonlinearly in the elastic segment until it decreases after reaching the neutral plane. In the elastic segment, the axial force on the pile shaft for a given time increases with the increases in the fractional order or the pile–soil interface parameter, but decreases with the increase of viscosity coefficient.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reasonably describe the stress‐strain relationship of soft soils, this paper establishes a viscoelastic‐viscoplastic small‐strain constitutive model based on the component model and the hardening soil model with small‐strain stiffness (HSS model). First, the Perzyna's viscoplastic flow rule and the modified Hardin–Drnevich model are introduced to derive a one‐dimensional incremental Nishihara constitutive equation. Next, the flexibility coefficient matrix is utilized to extend the one‐dimensional model to three‐dimensional conditions. Then, by combining the HSS elastoplastic theory with the component model, the viscoelastic‐viscoplastic small‐strain constitutive model is subsequently established. To implement the proposed model for numerical analysis, the corresponding UMAT subroutine is developed using Fortran. After comparing the results of numerical simulations with those of existing literature, the reliability of the constitutive model and the program written in this paper is verified. Finally, numerical examples are designed to further analyze the effects of small‐strain parameters and viscoelastic‐viscoplastic parameters on the time‐dependent behavior of soft soils.","PeriodicalId":13786,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, mesoscopic parameters of the numerical model were calibrated based on the uniaxial compression tests on intact and single straight fissure red sandstone specimens. Then, particle flow simulation tests of red sandstone with different arc‐shaped fissure dip angles were carried out. The results show that the peak strength and elastic modulus both increase with the increase of arc‐shaped fissure dip angle α, exhibiting an oblique shear‐tensile failure pattern. Six types of cracks evolved during the instability and rupture of the rock mass with double arc‐shaped fissures. The macroscopic fissures in the rock mass ultimately penetrate along the extension direction of the arc‐shaped fissures. As the arc‐shaped fissure dip angle α increases, the crack evolution is positively correlated with the acoustic emission (AE) of the specimen. When approaching instability failure, the AE ringing count rapidly increases. There is a critical angle limit inflection point for the total energy absorbed by the rock between 60° and 75°, with a total energy increase of about 54%. During instability failure, it is dominated by dissipative energy, with elastic energy as a supplement.

This model treats the PHDs layer as a continuous drainage layer. Analytical solutions considering the clogging effect and the vacuum preloading process have been derived. The correctness and applicability of the proposed model have been verified through degeneration analysis and comparison with laboratory experimental data. Subsequently, an in‐depth sensitivity analysis of parameters has been conducted to assess the influence on consolidation. The research findings indicate that the clogging effect significantly reduces the consolidation rate, while the influence of the increasing rate in vacuum pressure is relatively minor. Additionally, increasing the slurry filling rate and the PHDs layout density can both accelerate soil consolidation.
