Evaluation of inverted pavement by structural condition indicators from falling weight deflectometer

Xi Jiang et al.

Summary: Inverted pavement, relying on the stress-dependence of unbound stone interlayer, lacks systematic studies on using FWD for structural evaluation. The DBPs-based evaluation system can provide a comprehensive assessment for each layer in the inverted pavement structure quickly, without detailed layer properties, and the evaluation results are consistent with testing vehicle data.

Keywords: Mixture theory Multiphase poromechanics Multiple porosity media Capillary pressure Fractured reservoir

Qi Zhang et al.

Summary: We have developed a comprehensive framework that can be applied to porous media with multiple porosity scales and saturated with one or two types of fluids. The proposed model is applicable to both elastic and elastoplastic deformations, and can be used for both uncoupled and coupled simulations. We have investigated the depletion process of fractured reservoirs and the effects of multiple factors on system response through uncoupled flow simulations and coupled flow and geomechanics simulations.

Three-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis derived from the virtual work principle with a simplex integral on the boundary

Xi Wang et al.

Summary: Three-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis (3D-DDA) is a powerful deformable discrete element method, but its application is limited by constitutive models and accurate integration on the polygonal boundaries of 3D blocks. This study addresses these limitations by reformulating submatrices and specifying an accurate integral method, demonstrating the advantages of face constraints.

A cover-based contact detection approach for irregular convex polygons in discontinuous deformation analysis

Xiaoying Zhuang et al.

Summary: The study introduces a cover-based strategy for the detection and resolution of contacts between irregular convex polygons, using loops and filter criteria to establish potential contact cover lists and update contact covers iteratively. The proposed method is implemented in discontinuous deformation analysis for efficient and robust contact analysis of irregular blocks in both 2D and potentially 3D cases.

Improved friction force calculation with an augmented open-close iteration formulation in discontinuous deformation analysis

Wei Wu et al.

Summary: This study introduces an augmented open-close iteration (AOCI) algorithm to improve upon the shortcomings of the traditional open-close iteration method. AOCI enhances contact state transition modeling and provides a control mechanism for improving shear forces and shear movement direction during iteration. The performance of AOCI is demonstrated to be superior to the traditional approach in both static and dynamic test cases.

Summary: This study introduces a new critical concept for contact processing in the original DDA, which corrects the indeterminacy in detecting candidate reference lines. The proposed method shows improved accuracy and usefulness compared to the original method after contact improvement, making it more suitable for models with arbitrary vertex-to-vertex contact states.

The Minkowski overlap and the energy-conserving contact model for discrete element modeling of convex nonspherical particles

Y. T. Feng et al.

Summary: This article proposes a unified contact overlap, termed the Minkowski overlap, based on the concept of the Minkowski difference of two shapes. The Minkowski contact features of a contact are defined, laying a solid theoretical foundation for an energy-conserving contact model. The elastic energy conservation of the proposed contact model for convex shapes in elastic impact is verified using numerical examples.
