During the construction of hydropower station, the change of slope gradient in river valleys often takes place. In order to study influence of slope gradient change on distribution rule of geostress field, the three dimensional unloading models under different slope gradients were established by finite difference software (FLAC3D). After numerical simulation, the results were as follows: (1) The phenomenon of stress concentration at the bottom of river valleys was obvious, which appeared the typical stress fold. Both the depth of stress concentration zone and the principal stress values significantly increased with the increment of slope gradient. (2) Maximum principal stress values increased less in shallow part of upper bank slope (low stress zone) but increased more in the nearby slope foot with the increment of slope gradient, causing great difference in geostress field of bank slope. (3) There was some difference in released energy of bank slope due to slope gradient change in river valleys. In order to distinguish the difference, stress relief zone was further divided into stress stably released zone and stress instability released zone. Finally, take Ada dam area of the western route project of South-to-North Water Transfer as an example, the results by numerical simulation were reliable through comparing the distribution rule of geostress field for the dam, which could provide important reference for stability of the design and construction of steep and narrow river valleys.

In order to understand the instability characteristics of surrounding rock in the process of deep roadway excavation, a three-dimensional numerical model was established by FLAC3D to systematically analyze the influence of roadway surrounding rock stability under different in situ stress distribution forms, and the environmental coefficient of mining-induced stress η was defined, the larger the environmental coefficient of mining-induced stress is, the larger the surrounding rock stress environment is, and the range where the η coefficient is greater than 0.2 is called with the destruction-danger zone. When the initial vertical stress is maximum principal stress and minimum principal stress, by comparing the roadway along the middle ground stress direction and minimum or maximum in-situ stress direction, the variation characteristics of displacement, failure zone and failure hazard zone of roadway surrounding rock are obtained, which provides theoretical basis for the treatment of disaster accidents such as roadway surrounding rock instability and rock burst caused by deep high in-situ stress.

Abstract In this study, elastoplastic model for the surrounding rock of axisymmetric circular tunnel is investigated under three-dimensional (3D) principal stress states. Novel numerical solutions for strain-softening surrounding rock were first proposed based on the modified 3D Hoek–Brown criterion and the associated flow rule. Under a 3D axisymmetric coordinate system, the distributions for stresses and displacement can be effectively determined on the basis of the redeveloped stress increment approach. The modified 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion is also embedded into finite element software to characterize the yielding state of surrounding rock based on the modified yield surface and stress renewal algorithm. The Euler implicit constitutive integral algorithm and the consistent tangent stiffness matrix are reconstructed in terms of the 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion. Therefore, the numerical solutions and finite element method (FEM) models for the deep buried tunnel under 3D principal stress condition are presented, so that the stability analysis of surrounding rock can be conducted in a direct and convenient way. The reliability of the proposed solutions was verified by comparison of the principal stresses obtained by the developed numerical approach and FEM model. From a practical point of view, the proposed approach can also be applied for the determination of ground response curve of the tunnel, which shows a satisfying accuracy compared with the measuring data.

The stress wave propagation and stress distribution in scarf adhesive joints have been analyzed using three-dimensional finite element method (FEM). The FEM code employed was LS-DYNA. An impact tensile loading was applied to the joint by dropping a weight. The effect of the scarf angle, Young’s modulus of the adhesive and adhesive thickness on the stress wave propagations and stress distributions at the interfaces have been examined. As the results, it was found that the point where the maximum principal stress becomes maximum changes between 52 degree and 60 degree under impact tensile loadings. The maximum value of the maximum principal stress increases as scarf angle decreases, Young’s modulus of the adhesive increases and adhesive thickness increases. In addition, Experiments to measure the strains and joint strengths were compared with the calculated results. The calculated results were in fairly good agreements with the experimental results.

In situ stress is the direct cause of roadway deformation and failure in the process of deep mining activities. The measured data of in situ stress in the Shuanghe coal mine show that the maximum principal stress is 44.94~50.61 MPa, and the maximum principal stress direction is near horizontal direction, which belongs to tectonic stress field. The maximum horizontal principal stress is 1.66~1.86 of the vertical stress. The horizontal principal stress controls the deep stress field. According to the measured data of in situ stress, the high-strength prestress bolt and cable collaborative support form is designed in the Shuanghe coal mine. Based on the stress field research of bolt and cable, the optimal prestress ratio of bolt and cable is proposed as 3. When the prestress ratio of bolt and cable is constant, the smaller the length ratio of bolt and cable is, the better the effect of prestressed field formed by cooperative support is. The results are applied to the support design of the mining roadway in the Shuanghe coal mine. Through the field monitoring test results, it is found that the maximum roof subsidence is 86 mm, the maximum floor deformation is 52 mm, and the maximum deformation of two sides is 125 mm. The surrounding rock control effect of the roadway is good, and the surrounding rock deformation conforms to the engineering technology standard requirements. The research results of this paper can provide some reference for the surrounding rock support of high ground stress mining roadway under similar conditions.

Thermal conduction and mechanical stresses in through silicon via (TSV) structures in three dimensional system in package (3D SiP) under device operation condition were discussed. A large scale simulator, ADVENTURECluster® based on finite element method (FEM) was used to simulate the effects of voids formed inside Cu TSVs on the thermal conduction and mechanical stresses in the TSV structure. The thermal performance that was required in 3D SiP was estimated to ensure the reliability. Simulations for thermal stresses in the TSV structure in 3D SiP were carried out under thermal condition due to power ON/OFF of device. In case that void was not present inside the TSV, the stresses in TSV were close to the hydrostatic pressure and the magnitude of the equivalent stress was lower than the yield stress of copper. Maximum principal stress of the Si chip in the TSV structure for the case without voids was lower than that of the bending strength of silicon. However, the level of the stresses in the Si chips should not be negligible for damages to Si chips. In case that void was present inside the TSV, stress concentration was occurred around the void in the TSV. The magnitude of the equivalent stress in the TSV was lower than the yield stress of copper. The magnitude of the maximum principal stress of the Si chip was lower than that of the bending strength of silicon. However, its level should not be negligible for damages to TSVs and Si chips. The stress on inner surfaces of Si chip was slightly reduced due to the presence of a void in the TSV.

In order to solve the problems of roadway stability and easy instability under repeated mining of close-distance coal seam groups, the mechanism and control technology of surrounding rock instability under repeated mining were studied via indoor testing, field testing, physical similarity simulation experiment, and numerical simulation. The results show that the surrounding rock of roadway has low strength, low bearing capacity, and poor self-stabilization ability, and it is vulnerable to engineering disturbances and fragmentation. Affected by the disturbance under repeated mining, the roadway surrounding rock cracks are developed and the sensitivity is strong, and it is prone to large-scale loose and destroyed. The location of the roadway is unreasonable, and the maximum principal stress of the roadway is 3.1 times of the minimum principal stress, which is quite different. Thus, under a large horizontal stress, the surrounding rock undergoes long-range expansion deformation. On the basis of this research, the direction and emphasis of stability control of roadway surrounding rock under repeated mining of coal seam groups in close-distance are shown. A repair scheme (i.e., long bolt + high-strength anchor cable + U-shaped steel + grouting) is proposed, and reduces the risk of roadway instability.

During the period 1981-1984, major developments have been made in the analysis of the shape and shifts of photospheric lines used as a diagnostic of the convection in the outer layers of the Sun. The first three-dimensional numerical simulation of the solar granulation has been developed, and it, is able to reproduce with some success most of the observed morphological and spectroscopic properties of granulation. It is becoming clear that the properties of the solar granulation are variable over the solar cycle. Many questions remain to be solved; further progress will rely heavily on expected improvements of the spatial resolution of the observations and the availability of larger computers.
