Prediction of stress-strain state of municipal solid waste with application of soft soil creep model

Introduction. The process of municipal solid waste (further MSW) generation is inextricably linked with the life of humanity. Every day each person generates some, a small amount of garbage. As a result millions of tons of MSW are generated daily in the world which are unsuitable for further use and require disposal. There are various ways of handling MSW including their treatment, recycling and disposal. In Russian Federation the vast majority of MSW are currently located on the specially equipped facilities –– waste landfills. To date the most common waste management strategy remains their placement in a landfill. Waste landfills are arrays of stored waste and are special engineering structures designed for the safe isolation of their contents from the environment. Landfill includes gas exhaust and leachate drainage systems, liner and cover systems. The main component of this structure is waste itself. Mechanical stability of landfills should be provided at all stages of waste storage as well as after it complete filling to designed capacity and at post-closure stage. As the result of deformation of unstable waste, all landfill systems can be destroyed up to the collapse of garbage array leading to the significant environmental and other consequences. One of the most common problems leading to the various incidents at landfills is an incorrect assessment of their stability. MSW landfill is a complex multiphase system in which various interacting processes occur simultaneously. The main factor in the calculation and design of landfills is the forecast of their settlements. Studies by many authors have established that biological decomposition has a significant impact on the properties of MSW after which the waste is considered as the landfill soil with a particle size of up to 20 mm. Materials and methods. The paper presents the methodology and the results of numerical modeling of stress-strain state of the designed object “Waste Landfill”. The facility is an array of municipal solid waste of 38 meters high. Waste is stacked in the layers of 1.75 m thick. Each waste layer is covered by the loam cover of 0.25 m thick. Stress-strain state of municipal solid waste including biological creep was modelled using well-known “Soft-Soil-Creep model” (SSC-model). Results. The results of numerical simulation of stress-strain state of the waste pile at all stages of the filling and in the post-closure period are presented. An assessment of the increase in the capacity of the landfill due to the compaction and biological creep has been performed. Stability analysis of the landfill and potential failure mechanisms at different stages of filling and operation are presented. Conclusions. Numerical modeling of stress-strain state of the MSW array using the “Soft-Soil-Creep model” allows to analyze the stability of the waste pile at any stage of landfill filling and evaluate the increase in landfill capacity due to the waste settlement taking into account the mechanical creep and biocompression during layer-by-layer filling.

The paper provides numerical simulation of the influence of dynamic loading on the stress-strain state of the natural and geoengineering technogenic environment taking into account the soil basis for forecasting its use as the basis of the structure. Paper demonstrates the impact of static and dynamic loading on the subsidence of the landfill. To take into account the liquid phase of the waste and the viscoplastic medium, Darcy's law is used as an equation of balance of forces. The body of the landfill is modeled by weak soil taking into account the creep, using the Soft Soil Creep model. The covering and underlying soil layers are described by the Coulomb – Mohr model. An effective method for calculating the sedimentation of natural and geoengineering environment on the example of a solid waste landfill, based on numerical modeling of the stress-strain state of the landfill and underlying soil using finite elements is developed. It is demonstrated that the largest subsidence is experienced by the landfill with sand, as the base soil, but in percentage terms the amount of subsidence with the maximum load relative to the initial subsidence without loading is the largest in clay (33.7%). The obtained results must be taken into account when using landfills as a basis for buildings, structures, routes, recreational areas, etc.

Novel Approach

This paper discusses a novel approach to calculating inelastic strain that incorporates elastic anisotropy in combination with ANSYS finite element analysis (FEA) software to predict the stress–strain state kinetics of a single crystal (SX) nickel-based turbine blade. The approach is based on using “equivalent direction” and allows us to correctly define the critical load value and plastic strain field in SX details for different load types. The suggested approach is simple and generic and requires only a few standard experimental material properties. This should allow for an easy transition to actual blade design application. Predictions of plastic field distribution obtained using the suggested approach with anisotropic specimens are compared with experimental data as well as with the results obtained using a crystallographic approach. Good correlation was achieved. The second goal of this study is to develop a physically based, readily implementable creep model SX superalloy that accurately represents the creep phenomena of these materials under complex, thermomechanical loading conditions.

Mesh Structures

The analysis of the design and technological features of the tail boom (ТB) of a helicopter made of polymer composite materials (PCM) is carried out.Three structural and technological concepts are distinguished - semi-monocoque (reinforced metal structure), monocoque (three-layer structure) and mesh-type structure. The high weight and economic efficiency of mesh structures is shown, which allows them to be used in aerospace engineering. The physicomechanical characteristics of the network structures are estimated and their uniqueness is shown. The use of mesh structures can reduce the weight of the product by a factor of two or more.The stress-strain state (SSS) of the proposed tail boom design is determined. The analysis of methods for calculating the characteristics of the total SSS of conical mesh shells is carried out. The design of the tail boom is presented, the design diagram of the tail boom of the transport category rotorcraft is developed. A finite element model was created using the Siemens NX 7.5 system. The calculation of the stress-strain state (SSS) of the HC of the helicopter was carried out on the basis of the developed structural scheme using the Advanced Simulation module of the Siemens NX 7.5 system. The main zones of probable fatigue failure of tail booms are determined. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides a theoretical basis for design decisions.Shown is the effect of the type of technological process selected for the production of the tail boom on the strength of the HB structure. The stability of the characteristics of the PCM tail boom largely depends on the extent to which its design is suitable for the use of mechanized and automated production processes.A method for the manufacture of a helicopter tail boom from PCM by the automated winding method is proposed. A variant of computer modeling of the tail boom of a mesh structure made of PCM is shown.The automated winding technology can be recommended for implementation in the design of the composite tail boom of the Mi-2 and Mi-8 helicopters.
