This paper proposed a cryogenic THM coupled model (TOUGH-FEMM) to study the frost heave behavior of cold-region tunnels. Key issues including heat transfer, thermal stress, water-ice phase transition, unfrozen water, frost heave deformation, and ice-rock interaction are systematically addressed in the proposed model. Specifically, frost pressure in pores and cracks is derived separately to better simulate the ice expansion effect in rock masses. The proposed model is first validated against an experimental test and then applied to a practical cold-region tunnel to reveal the evolution of temperature, frost pressure and frost heave fields, as well as the tunnel stability. Moreover, the effects of cracks and frost damage on tunnel stability under freeze-thaw cycles are discussed. The work detailed herein provides an efficient tool for the THM coupled process in cold-region tunnels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51039,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445274","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}

Recently, a new boundary element technique called direct interpolation (DIBEM) has emerged, mainly characterized by the approximation of the entire kernel of the remaining domain integrals. The DIBEM model has been successfully applied to several scalar field problems and recently applied to certain diffusive–advective problems with superior accuracy compared to dual reciprocity formulation (DRBEM). Using DIBEM, a broader range of precise responses for flows with higher Peclet numbers can be reached beyond a lower computational cost due to the simplicity of its matrix operations. These advantages are due DIBEM concept that employs a simple interpolation procedure to approximate the kernel of the advective domain integral. However, it was noticed that in some physical scenarios with spatial variation in the velocity field, the accuracy of DIBEM did not have the same quality observed in other applications. Therefore, this work presents a new DIBEM model so that the integral equations include the explicit calculation of spatial derivatives and simultaneously solve the variation of the divergent velocity field if this is not zero. Conversely, reactive and source terms were also included to expand numerical comparisons. Thus, in the proposed examples, the results of two DIBEM models, the standard (DIBEM-S) and the new, so-called alternative model (DIBEM-A), are compared with DRBEM and also with available analytical solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51039,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445273","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 results in imprecise feature vector extraction and room for optimization of detection accuracy. AttenEpilepsy is a novel 2D convolutional network model that uses a multi-head self-attention mechanism to classify epileptic seizure periods, inter-seizure periods, and health states of single-channel EEG signals. The AttenEpilepsy model consists of two parts, namely feature extraction and time–frequency context encoding (STCE). A feature extraction method combining multi-path convolution and adaptive hybrid feature recalibration is proposed, in which multi-path convolution with convolution kernels of different sizes is used to extract relevant multi-scale features from time–frequency images. STCE consists of two modules: multi-head self-attention and causal convolution. A modified multi-head self-attention mechanism is used to model the extracted time–frequency features, and causal convolution is used to analyse the frequency information on the time dependencies. A public dataset from the University of Bonn Epilepsy Research Center is used to evaluate the performance of the AttenEpilepsy model. The experimental results show that the AttenEpilepsy model achieved accuracy (AC), sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), and F1 score (F1) of 99.81%, 99.82%, 99.89%, and 99.83%, respectively. Further testing of the robustness of the model is conducted by introducing various types of noise into the input data.

It is crucial for groundwater simulations to have specified computational points at wellbore locations. The generated meshless nodes were used as computational points in the generalized finite difference method. The node quality was assessed by comparing the numerical solutions to the analytical solution, achieving errors of the order of 10^–12. The application scenarios of irregularly shaped aquifers demonstrated the high efficiency of the three-dimensional node placement in generating up to 10,000 nodes in &lt;5 s. The effectiveness of the algorithm was verified using three-dimensional irregular computational domains.

The standard loading approach (i.e., the model is loaded by applying constant velocities at boundaries of the model based on the test procedure) is the primary loading approach for quasi-static simulation in the grain-based model, but the computational efficiency of this approach is relatively low. We developed herein the internal-strain loading approach, a more efficient loading approach, for simulating the mechanical behavior of brittle rocks. The internal-strain loading approach was embedded into the three-dimensional discrete element grain-based model (3DEC-GBM). The internal-strain loading approach was compared to the standard loading approach using triaxial compression, direct tensile, and direct shear simulations. The results showed that the internal-strain loading approach was able to accurately reproduce both the deformation behavior and strength of the laboratory experiment. Compared with the standard loading approach, where the axial velocity of two plates was 0.0025 m s⁻¹ in the compression simulation, the internal-strain loading approach can reduce the model run times by up to ten times. We conclude that the proposed internal-strain loading approach is a powerful tool that can improve the computational efficiency of the grain-based model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51039,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142432088","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 wave properties such as reflection and transmission coefficients, dissipation of wave energy, and horizontal wave force on the floating rigid dock are studied to check the effectiveness of different numbers of barriers and length (<span><math><mi>H</mi></math></span>) of barriers, their porosity, the spacing between barriers, and the distance between the last barrier and the floating rigid dock. It has been witnessed that more surface piercing barriers are obviously helpful in relieving the force due to the wave interaction with the floating rigid dock. It is noticed that implementing four perforated barriers not only reduces reflection by around 70% but also enhances wave energy dissipation by 90%, with equal size of barrier lengths being the most effective. The porous barriers are more conducive to alleviating the wave force than the rigid barriers.
