Rock excavation using drill and blast method is commonly used worldwide, leading to deterioration of surrounding rock mass and underestimation of tunnel stability. The blast-induced damage zone and seepage beneath the groundwater table have significant effects on tunnel convergence and stress distribution in the rock mass.
Rock excavation using drill and blast method is commonly used in tunneling world-wide. Drill and blast method has inherent disadvantage of deteriorating surrounding rock mass due to development of a blast-induced damage zone with reduced strength and stiffness parameters and increased permeability. Traditional tunnel analysis adopts same parame-ters for the entire rock mass, leading to the underestimation of tunnel stability. The blast damage zone with finite thickness is significant in tunnel stability. Tunneling below the groundwater table affects the hydraulic equilibrium. This will, in turn, cause seepage into the tunnel through the pores and discontinuities in the rock masses. The developed seep-age force should be considered as an additional body force acting on both damaged and undamaged rock masses. This study presents a new analytical closed-form solution for the determination of stresses, strains, and displacements around a circular deep underwater tunnel with the consideration of the seepage forces and the damaged zone. The solutions are presented for tunnels excavated in pervious elastic-brittle-plastic rock masses with Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The damaged zone is assumed to have cylindrical shape with finite radius. The plastic zones may be formed in both damaged and undamaged rock masses, independently. In order to solve the proposed problem, three different paths for plasticity evolution including six different states that can possibly be encountered in the problem are considered. The results indicate that the seepage and the damaged zone have significant effects on the tunnel convergence and the distribution of stresses in the rock mass. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc.

The s-version finite element method for non-linear material problems
Shengwen Tu, Naoki Morita, Tsutomu Fukui, Kazuki Shibanuma
Summary: This study aimed to extend the finite element method to cope with elastic-plastic problems by introducing the s-version FEM. The s-version FEM, which overlays a set of local mesh with fine element size on the conventional FE mesh, simplifies domain discretisation and provides accurate numerical predictions. Previous applications of the s-version FEM were limited to elastic problems, lacking instructions for stress update in plasticity. This study presents detailed instructions and formulations for addressing plasticity problems with the s-version FEM and analyzes a stress concentration problem with linear/nonlinear material properties.

Dynamic modeling and nonlinear analysis for lateral-torsional coupling vibration in an unbalanced rotor system
Pingchao Yu, Li Hou, Ke Jiang, Zihan Jiang, Xuanjun Tao
Summary: This paper investigates the imbalance problem in rotating machinery and finds that mass imbalance can induce lateral-torsional coupling vibration. By developing a model and conducting detailed analysis, it is discovered that mass imbalance leads to nonlinear time-varying characteristics and there is no steady-state torsional vibration in small unbalanced rotors. Under largely unbalanced conditions, both resonant and unstable behavior can be observed, and increasing lateral damping can suppress instability and reduce lateral amplitude in the resonance region.

Summary: This paper investigates the mechanically induced electric potential and charge redistribution in a piezoelectric semiconductor cylindrical shell. The results show that doping levels can affect the electric potentials and mechanical displacements, and alter the peak position of the zeroth-order electric potential. The doping level also has an inhibiting effect on the first natural frequency. These findings are crucial for optimizing the design and performance of cylindrical shell-shaped sensors and energy harvesters.
