In order to analyze the torsional shear process of asphalt mixtures in a microscopic view, the numerical simulation of a torsional shear test of an asphalt mixture was carried out by discrete element method. Based on the defects of existing algorithms, the method of random reconstruction of the existing 3D model of the asphalt mixture was improved, and a new reconstruction method was proposed. A 3D numerical model of the asphalt mixture contained irregular-shaped coarse aggregate, mineral gradation, and asphalt mortar; furthermore, the particle algorithm established the air void distribution. Then, the numerical simulation of the asphalt mixture’s torsional shear was completed; in addition, the stress, displacement, and contact of the specimens at each stage were analyzed. The results showed that the stress and displacement in different stages changed greatly with the loading, i.e., the crack generated from a weak point on the surface and then spread to the ends with an oblique angle of about 45°. At the same time, the shear failure process of the asphalt mixture was studied. The virtual test method could accomplish the implementation of the numerical simulation of torsional shear; it also provided a good research method for analysis of the asphalt mixture’s shear failure process.

The Impact

Disaster caused by exploiting underground coal is due to original mechanical equilibrium of underground rock has been destroyed when underground coal is exploited. And Stress redistribution and stress concentration of wall rock in the goaf happened too. As many complex factors exist such as complex structures of ground, multivariate stope boundary conditions, many stochastic mining factors and so on, it is difficult to evaluate the damage of the geological environment caused the excavation by surrounding underground coal accurately. Besides that, the coexistence of continuous and discontinuous of deformation and failure of wall rock make a strong impact on the ground, and the co-exist of tension, compression and shear failure also pay a great deal contribution to the destroy. Due to the mechanical property and deformation mechanism of goaf are complex , changeable, nonlinear and probabilistic, which changes with in space and time dynamically, it can not be studied analytically by the classical mathematical model and the theory of mechanics computation. Through finite element analysis software ABAQUS, a numerical simulation of the process of underground coal mining have been made. After make a research of the simulation process, it shows the change process of stress environment of wall rock and deformation and failure process of rock mass during the process of coal mining. The numerical simulation of the process can provide theoretical basis and technical support to the protection and reinforcement of laneway the process of coal excavation. Besides that, it also provides a scientific basis and has a great significance to reasonable Excavation and control of mind-out area.

With the full consideration of the heterogeneity, existing joints, and cracks in the rock, the coupled gas-rock model for investigating the failure process of coal-rock is established by introducing the related equations governing the evolution of stress, damage and gas permeability along with the deformation of coal and rock. A numerical approach of realistic failure process analysis (RFPA) to simulate the stratum movement, layer separation, the whole collapse progresses, and gas permeability changing of the protected coal seam is proposed. The numerical simulation results well displayed the whole processes of the cracks growth of gas seepage passage and the change of gas permeability for the closed distance protected coal seam. It can be seen from the distribution of acoustic emission in the space that the stratum failure is transferred from deeper to surface. By the analysis of the stress fields changing, the reasons of the gas permeability improvement of the protected coal seam are presented.

Nuclear power has contributed humanity a lot since its successful usage in electricity power generation. According to the global statistics, nuclear power accounts for 16% of the total electricity generation in 2020. However, the rapid development of nuclear power also brings up some problems, in which the storage of nuclear waste is the thorny one. This work carries out a series of modeling and simulation analysis on the geological storage of nuclear waste in a gas-saturated deep coal seam. As the first step, a coupled heat-solid-gas model with three constitutional fields of heat transfer, coal deformation, and gas seepage that based on three governing conservation equations is proposed. The approved mechanical model covers series of interactive influences among temperature change, dual permeability of coal, thermal stress, and gas sorption. As the second step, a finite element numerical model and numerical simulation are developed to analyze the storage of nuclear waste in a gas-saturated deep coal seam based on the partial differential equations (PDE) solver of COMSOL Multiphysics with MATLAB. The numerical simulation is implemented and solved then to draw the following conclusions as the nuclear waste chamber heats up the surrounding coal seam firstly in the initial storage stage of 400 years and then be heated by the far-field reservoir. The initial velocity of gas flow decreases gradually with the increment of distance from the storage chamber. Coal gas flows outward from the central storage chamber to the outer area in the first 100 years when the gas pressure in the region nearby the central storage chamber is higher than that in the far region and flows back then while the temperature in the outer region is higher. The modeling and simulation studies are expected to provide a deep understanding on the geological storage of nuclear waste.

Rock engineering occupies an important position in the 21st century. In the face of rock engineering disasters, we are only looking for the essential problems through experiments on rocks, but rock experiments cannot be realized in large numbers, so the article uses numerical simulation software RFPA (Realistic Failure Process Analysis) 2D Basic to simulate rock under different size conditions numerically. In this paper, a rock model with a diameter of 50 mm is used for simulation research. Meanwhile, five calculation models of height-to-diameter ratios of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3 are used. Through simulation calculation, we find that the rock model failure is more than complicated when the value of the height-to-diameter ratio is exceedingly low (1), but as the height-to-diameter ratio increases, the failure mode will become simpler. The stress-concentrated failure will be in the form of axial failure. When the height-to-diameter ratio increases (1.5–2), other damage cracks appear on the basis of axial cleavage failure. As the height-to-diameter ratio continues to increase (about 2.5), only shear failure occurs. When the height-to-diameter ratio reaches a relatively high level (3), there will be both axial rip and other damage. When the height-to-diameter ratio is oversize, there will be both axial rip failure and end damage.

Based on the geological conditions of 6# coal seam and 8# coal seam in Xieqiao Coal Mine, to determine reasonable entry layout of lower seam in multi-seam mining, alternate internal entry layout, alternate exterior entry layout and overlapping entry layout were put forward and simulated by FLAC3D. Then stress distribution and displacement characteristics of surrounding rock were analyzed in the three ways of entry layout, leading to the conclusion that alternate internal entry layout is a better choice for multi-seam mining, for which makes the entry located in stress reduce zone and reduces the influence of abutment pressure of upper coal seam mining to a certain extent,. And the mining practice of Xieqiao Coal Mine tested the results, which will offer a beneficial reference for entry layout with similar geological conditions in multi-seam mining.

In this paper, a ring shaped numerical specimen is used to studying the failure process in brittle materials. The ring specimen is subjected to a compressive diametral load and contains two angled central cracks. Numerical modeling in this study is performed. It is shown that the obtained numerical results are in a very good agreement with the experiments. Effect of the crack orientation angle on the failure modes and loading-displace responses is discussed. In the range of 0°~40°, the fracture paths are curvilinear forms starting from the tip of pre-existing cracks and grow towards the loading points. For the crack orientation angle 90°, vertical fractures will split the specimen and the horizontal cracks do not influence the fracture process.
