Stability of rock stratum between concealed karst cave and tunnel is evaluated by the catastrophe theory. The numerical simulation method of safe distance between concealed karst cave and tunnel is proposed based on catastrophe theory energy catastrophe. Through array of rock stratum energy change and distance change between concealed karst cave and tunnel, a cusp catastrophe model of safe distance between concealed karst cave and tunnel is built. The simulation of safe distance between concealed karst cave and tunnel can be finished by Ansys program and Matlab, and automatically calculates the safe distance by a compile interface program, which is verified by engineering example.

The numerical simulation method of safe distance between concealed karst cave and tunnel based on shear strength reduction method safety factor catastrophe is proposed. The safety factor of different distance between concealed karst cave and tunnel can be obtained using strength reduction finite element method numerical calculation with the finite element solution non convergence as the standard rock damage, then compare the safety factor of different distance, the catastrophe of safety factor corresponding to the distance is the safe distance between concealed karst cave and tunnel, and the plastic zone of rock stratum between concealed karst cave and tunnel is reaching run-through state, which is verified by engineering example.

AbstractColloidal interactions in a heteroparticulate mixture of zirconia and alumina in water were studied for use in a transformation toughened alumina composite. The microelectrophoresis technique was used to measure the mobility of three zirconia powders and an alumina powder. The electro-phoretic mobility and particle size data were used to calculate total potential energy curves. The maximum height of the total potential energy barrier was used to predict the stability of a zirconia/alumina mixture. Theoretical predictions were compared to experimental results obtained from sedimentation and rheology measurements carried out as a function of pH of the dispersion. For a 5 v/o aqueous zirconia/alumina system stable dispersions were made at pH 3 and pH 5.

A model of nuclear matter built from alpha-particles is proposed. In this model, nuclei possess the molecular-like structure. Analyzing the numbers of bonds, one gets the formula for the binding energy of a nucleus. The structure is determined by the minimum of the total potential energy, where interaction between alpha-particles is pairwise and the pair-potential is of Lennard–Jones type. The calculated binding energies show a good agreement with experiment. Calculations predict the stability island for superheavy nuclei around Z=120.

Determining the equilibrium configuration of an elastic Möbius band is a challenging problem. In recent years numerical results have been obtained by other investigators, employing first the Kirchhoff theory of rods and later the developable, ruled-surface model of Sadowsky–Wunderlich. In particular, one such strategy used does not deliver an equilibrium configuration for the complete unsupported strip. Here we present our own systematic approach to the same problem for each of these models, with the ultimate goal of assessing the stability of flip-symmetric configurations. The presence of point-wise constraints considerably complicates the latter step. We obtain the first stability results for the problem, numerically demonstrating that such equilibria render the total potential energy a local minimum. Along the way we introduce a novel regularization for the singular Wunderlich model that delivers equilibria for complete strips having sufficiently narrow widths, which can then be tested for stability.

The stability analysis of an imperfect slender web subjected to the shearing load is presented, a specialized code based on FEM has been created. The nonlinear finite element method equations are derived from the variational principle of minimum of total potential energy. To obtain the nonlinear equilibrium paths, the Newton-Raphson iteration algorithm is used. Corresponding levels of the total potential energy are defined. The peculiarities of the effects of the initial imperfections are investigated. Special attention is paid to the influence of imperfections on the post-critical buckling mode. Obtained results are compared with those gained using ANSYS system.

The presence of a concealed karst cave above a deep highway tunnel may cause the collapse of the rock mass between the karst cave and tunnel during excavation. Rock mass collapse threatens the safety of tunnel construction personnel. A prediction method of the collapse region induced by a concealed karst cave above a deep highway tunnel is proposed on the basis of the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. An analytical expression of the collapse surface is derived from the variational principle. Using the analytical expression of the collapse surface, the shapes of the collapse surfaces are plotted for different rock mass parameters. Moreover, the minimum safe distance between the karst cave and tunnel is defined, and the computational equation of the minimum safe distance is derived. The proposed method is applied in a highway tunnel excavated in a karst terrain as a case study. Based on geological survey report parameters, the shape of the collapse surface and the minimum safe distance between the karst cave and tunnel are obtained. Finally, the collapse surface of the rock mass provided by the proposed approach is compared with that provided by numerical simulation, and the favorable result comparison shows that the proposed method is valid.
