With consideration of the special hydrogeological conditions and layout characteristics of the hydraulic structures, the seepage control measures of dam abutment and underground powerhouse on the right bank of JinPing-I hydropower station is drawn up. Based on the three dimensional finite element analysis of seepage control with dry area virtual flow constant mesh analysis method, the rationality of the seepage control measures of dam abutment and underground powerhouse has been verified and the key factors affecting the effect of seepage have been compared. In combination with the curtain of dam abutment, the curtain of underground powerhouse is reasonable. The results showed that the steel liner of penstock after the curtain is necessary.

Factors Affecting

Open-source 3D printer has been widely used for fabricating three dimensional products. However, this technology has some drawbacks that need to be improved such as accuracy of the finished parts. One of the factors affecting the final product is the ability of the machine to extrude the material consistently, which is related to the flow behavior of the material inside the liquefier. This paper observes the pressure drop along the liquefier by manipulating the nozzle die angle from 80° to 170° using finite element analysis (FEA) for polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) material. When the pressure drop along the liquefier is varied, the printed product also varies, thus providing less accuracy in the finished parts. Based on the FEA, it was found that 130° was the optimum die angle (convergent angle) for extruding PMMA material using open-source 3D printing.

Abstract Background Clinical studies have found that manipulations have a good clinical effect on sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain without specific causes. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the effect of manipulations are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of three common manipulations on the stresses and displacements of the normal SIJ and the strains of the surrounding ligaments. Methods A three-dimensional finite element model of the pelvis-femur was developed. The manipulations of hip and knee flexion (MHKF), oblique pulling (MOP), and lower limb hyperextension (MLLH) were simulated. The stresses and displacements of the SIJ and the strains of the surrounding ligaments were analyzed during the three manipulations. Results MOP produced the highest stress on the left SIJ, at 6.6 MPa, while MHKF produced the lowest stress on the right SIJ, at 1.5 MPa. The displacements of the SIJ were all less than 1 mm during the three manipulations. The three manipulations caused different degrees of ligament strain around the SIJ, and MOP produced the greatest straining of the ligaments. Conclusion The three manipulations all produced small displacements of the SIJ and different degrees of ligament strains, which might be the mechanism through which they relieve SIJ pain. MOP produced the largest displacement and the greatest ligament strains.

To address the problem of sluice concrete easily cracking during construction, this study introduces the crack mechanism of concrete structures. Temperature differences and constraints are the main causes of cracks. Anti-cracking measures should focus on optimizing concrete mixing ratio and improving construction technology. Using simulation calculation to model the actual construction process and temperature control measures, this study analyzes the causes of crack and selects timely and reasonable temperature control measures, which are necessary links in engineering construction. A three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted for a huge concrete sluice structure. The causes of cracks are discussed, and timely and feasible anti-cracking measures are proposed to provide technical support for project construction.

The Stability

Base on the design of seepage control, the three-dimensional non-steady saturated - unsaturated seepage finite element analysis program CNPM3D is used to establish the three-dimentional finite element seepage model of junction area during operating period. The seepage field of dam site area is studied under the different anti-seepage curtain arrangement scheme. Specifically, the seepage gradient and the seepage discharge of the panel, major material zone, foundation curtains and two sides abutment curtains are analyzed to evaluate the stability of the major district of dam area, in order to provide suggestions for choosing the seepage control standard in the next deepen design stage.The calculation results show that the panel and the impervious curtain anti-seepage effect is remarkable.Impervious curtain can greatly reduce the total seepage flow of the dam and its foundation.However the curtain deepened to 1Lu has little effect on seepage discharge. It is showed that the seepage prevention standards of 3 lu should be proposed in the deepen design stage for both security and economic benefit. The achievement and experience of this seepage prevention design should be taken into consideration for other similar projects.
