In order to investigate the influence of tunnel excavation on adjacent rigid-flexible pile bearing horizontal load，many three-dimensional numerical analysis were conducted by altering the pile-soil stiffness resulted from the change of elastic modulus, radius, and length of pile. Many useful conclusions can be drawn. The longitudinal shear force and transverse bending moment of pile increase with the increment of longitudinal horizontal loads and pile-soil stiffness ratio for the pile of constant length. Therefore, different measures must be executed to protect adjacent piles with different stiffness during tunneling. This study can provide some references for the design and construction of tunnel.

Horizontal sectional loads (horizontal shear force and horizontal bending moment) and torsional moment are more difficult to predict with potential flow methods than vertical loads, especially in stern-quartering waves. Accurate computation of torsional moment is especially important for large modern container ships. The three-dimensional (3D) seakeeping code GL Rankine has been applied previously to the computation of vertical loads in head, following and oblique waves; this paper addresses horizontal loads and torsional moment in oblique waves at various forward speeds for a modern container ship. The results obtained with the Rankine source-patch method are compared with the computations using zero-speed free-surface Green functions and with model experiments.

A reamer bolt is commonly used when clamping a rigid shaft coupling subjected to large shear force. Although some joint design procedures assume that the applied shear force transmits only through the reamer surface, it is also supported by the friction force on the contact surfaces. Accordingly, to design the coupling clamped by reamer bolts, it is important to evaluate the ratio of the shear forces supported by the reamer surface and the friction force, which is defined as shear force transfer ratio (SFTR) here. In this study, distributions of SFTR and the bending stresses along the reamer surface are analyzed by three-dimensional FEM, focusing on the effects of the fit between the reamer bolt and bolt hole, the scatter of initial bolt stress and the misalignment of the connecting shafts. Numerical results quantitatively clarify how the amounts of the SFTR and the bending stresses as the friction coefficients, the fit and the magnitude of misalignment are changed. As for an offset misalignment, it is found that its effect on the bending moment generated in the shaft body is negligibly small, if the offset between two shafts in radial direction is less than 10mm which is 1% of the total shaft length.

Saturated Soft Clay

A coupled numerical simulation of a river-crossing shield tunnel excavation in saturated soft clay with high groundwater has been performed using a three-dimensional finite difference model, which takes into account variation of soil permeability with stress, anisotropy of permeability, reduction effect of joints on segment bending stiffness and the hardening process of synchronized grouting material. Groundwater seepage conditions around the tunnel, bending moment, axial forces and strength safety factor of tunnel segment as well as deep soil displacement during tunnel diving are investigated numerically. The analyses provide valuable information concerning the mechanical behavior of tunnel segment and hydrological field in soil around tunnel during advancing. The result also is benefited to control groundwater for river-crossing tunnel in soft clay under high water table.

Three Dimensional Elasticity

A three-dimensional elasticity solution is presented for the title problem. The solution is in terms of a double Fourier series in the surface-parallel directions and a power series in the thickness direction. On the basis of this solution, it is shown that the classical lamination theory is inadequate for this problem because the steep displacement and stress gradients near the load cannot be captured by it correctly even if the shell is thin.

The behaviour of slender and non-slender flexible bodies travelling in irregular seaways is examined. This is achieved by using a two-dimensional (2D) and a three-dimensional (3D) theory. These theories are based on different assumptions and mathematical models, though both are capable of assessing the influence of transient loadings caused by slamming. The two-dimensional theory is restricted to steady state and transient vertical responses (motion, distortion, bending moment, shear force) in irregular head waves, whereas the three-dimensional theory allows calculations of both vertical responses and transverse responses (motion, distortion, bending moment, shear force, twist) in head and oblique waves. Time-domain simulations of the responses (steady state and transient) are generated from which statistical data are determined. For a slender uniform barge structure travelling in head seas, the response simulations and statistical data evaluated by the two theories show favourable agreement. However, for a non-slender uniform barge differences between predictions arise with the two-dimensional strip theory eventually failing, while the three-dimensional approach remains effective and its versatility is further demonstrated by predicting the slamming behaviour of a flexible barge structure travelling at arbitrary heading in an irregular seaway.

The steel assembled support structure of a foundation pit can be assembled easily with high strength and recycling value. Steel’s performance is significantly affected by the surrounding temperature due to its temperature sensitivity. Here, a full-scale experiment was conducted to study the influence of temperature on the internal force and deformation of supporting structures, and a three-dimensional finite element model was established for comparative analysis. The test results showed that under the temperature effect, the deformation of the central retaining pile was composed of rigid rotation and flexural deformation, while the adjacent pile of central retaining pile only experienced flexural deformation. The stress on the retaining pile crown changed little, while more stress accumulated at the bottom. Compared with the crown beam and waist beam 2, the stress on waist beam 1 was significantly affected by the temperature and increased by about 0.70 MPa/°C. Meanwhile, the stress of the rigid panel was greatly affected by the temperature, increasing 78% and 82% when the temperature increased by 15 °C on rigid panel 1 and rigid panel 2, respectively. The comparative simulation results indicated that the bending moment and shear strength of pile 1 were markedly affected by the temperature, but pile 2 and pile 3 were basically stable. Lastly, as the temperature varied, waist beam 2 had the largest change in the deflection, followed by waist beam 1; the crown beam experienced the smallest change in the deflection.

This work devoted to an ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel under internal pressure load. The analysis is aimed at finding an optimum weight of ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel due to maximum working pressure that ensures its full charge with stresses by using imperialist competitive algorithm and genetic algorithm. In head of pressure vessel the region of its joint with the cylindrical shell is loaded with shear force and bending moments. The load causes high bending stresses in the region of the joint. Therefore, imperialist competitive algorithm was used here to find the optimum shape of a head with minimum weight and maximum working pressure which the shear force and the bending moment moved toward zero. Two different size ellipsoidal head examples are selected and studied. The imperialist competitive algorithm results are compared with the genetic algorithm results.
