Investigation of landslide-induced debris flows by the DEM and CFDZhao, Tao January 2014 (has links)
In recent years, the increasing impacts of landslide hazards on human lives and lifeline facilities worldwide has advanced the necessity to find out both economically acceptable and useful techniques to predict the occurrence and destructive power of landslides. Though many projects exist to attain this goal, the current investigation set out to establish an understanding of the initiation and propagation mechanisms of landslides via numerical simulations, so that mitigation strategies to reduce the long-term losses from landslide hazards can be made. In this research, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been used to investigate the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of granular materials involved in landslides. The main challenge is to provide rational analyses of large scale landslides via small scale numerical simulations. To solve this problem, dimensional analyses have been performed on a simple granular column collapse model. The influence of governing dimensionless groups on the debris runout distance and deposit height has been studied for the terrestrial and submerged granular flows. 3D DEM investigations of granular flows in plane strain conditions have been performed in this research. The input parameters of the DEM model have been calibrated by the numerical triaxial tests, based on which, the relationships between the microscopic variables and the macroscopic soil strength properties are analysed. Using the simple granular column collapse model, the influences of column aspect ratio, characteristic strain, model size ratio and material internal friction angle on the runout distance and deposit height of granular materials have been examined. Additionally, the deformation and energy evolution of dry granular materials are also discussed. The DEM-CFD coupling model has been employed to study the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of highly mobilized terrestrial / submarine landslides. This model has been validated via numerical simulations of fluid flow through a porous soil sample and grain batch sedimentations. The simulations of granular flows in the submerged environment have led to some meaningful insights into the flow mechanisms, such as the mobilization of sediments, the generation and dissipation of excess pore water pressures and the evolution of effective stresses. Overall, this study shows that the proposed numerical tools are capable of modelling the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of terrestrial and submarine landslides.

Strength Of Different Anatolian Sands In Wedge Shear, Triaxial Shear, And Shear Box TestsErzin, Yusuf 01 January 2004 (has links) (PDF)
Past studies on sands have shown that the shear strength measured in plane strain tests was higher than that measured in triaxial tests. It was observed that this difference changed with the friction angle & / #966 / cv at constant volume related to the mineralogical composition. In order to investigate the difference in strength measured in the wedge shear test, which approaches the plane strain condition, in the triaxial test, and in the shear box test, Anatolian sands were obtained from different locations in Turkey. Mineralogical analyses, identification tests, wedge shear tests (cylindrical wedge shear tests (cylwests) and prismatic wedge shear tests (priswests)), triaxial tests, and shear box tests were performed on these samples. In all shear tests, the shear strength measured was found to increase with the inclination & / #948 / of the shear plane to the bedding planes. Thus, cylwests (& / #948 / = 60o)
iii
yielded higher values of internal friction & / #966 / by about 3.6o than priswests (& / #948 / = 30o) under normal stresses between 17 kPa and 59 kPa. Values of & / #966 / measured in cylwests were about 1.08 times those measured in triaxial tests (& / #948 / & / #8776 / 65o), a figure close to the corresponding ratio of 1.13 found by past researchers between actual plane strain and triaxial test results. There was some indication that the difference between cylwest and triaxial test results increased with the & / #966 / cv value of the samples. With the smaller & / #948 / values (30o and 40o), priswests yielded nearly the same & / #966 / values as those obtained in triaxial tests under normal stresses between 20 kPa and 356 kPa. Shear box tests (& / #948 / =0o) yielded lower values of & / #966 / than cylwests (by about 7.9o), priswests (by about 4.4o), and triaxial tests (by about 4.2o) under normal stresses between 17 kPa and 48 kPa. It was shown that the shear strength measured in shear box tests showed an increase when & / #948 / was increased from 30o to 60o / this increase (about 4.2o) was of the order of the difference (about 3.6o) between priswest (& / #948 / = 30o) and cylwest (& / #948 / = 60o) results mentioned earlier. Shear box specimens with & / #948 / = 60o, prepared from the same batch of any sample as the corresponding cylwests, yielded & / #966 / values very close to those obtained in cylwests.

Full-field experimental characterization of mechanical behaviour and failure in a porous rock in plane strain compression : homogeneous deformation and strain localization / Caractérisation expérimentale par mesure des champs du comportement mécanique et de la rupture dans une roche poreuse en déformation plane : déformation homogène et localisation de la déformationLanata, Patrizia 02 April 2015 (has links)
Ce travail présente une caractérisation expérimentale du comportement mécanique et de la rupture par localisation de la déformation dans un grès des Vosges. L'évolution temporelle de la localisation a été caractérisée par des mesures de champs. Une nouvelle cellule triaxiale vraie a été développée au Laboratoire 3SR (Grenoble), qui permet une visualisation des échantillons sous chargement pour réaliser de la corrélation d'image numérique (CIN). Les essais ont été réalisés par compression en déformation plane (confinement de 20 à 50 MPa). La transition d'une déformation diffuse à localisée a été finement étudiée. Une analyse comparative a été ensuite effectuée entre les mesures de champs et la microstructure à l'échelle des grains observée par microscope (MEB). Enfin, une étude théorique basée sur une analyse en bifurcation a été menée pour comparer observations des bandes de cisaillement et prédiction sur la localisation de la déformation. / This work aims an experimental characterization of the mechanical behaviour and failure by strain localization on a Vosges sandstone. The time evolution of strain localization has been characterized by full-field measurements. A new true-triaxial apparatus has been developed at Laboratoire 3SR (Grenoble), which enables the observation of the specimens during mechanical loading for application of digital image correlation (DIC). Tests have been performed in plane strain compression (confining pressure from 20 to 50 MPa). The transition from diffuse to localised deformation regimes has been extensively studied. Then, a comparative analysis has been done between the strain fields (DIC) and microscope (SEM) observations to determine how closely the DIC fields are related to deformation mechanisms detected at the grain scale. Finally, a theoretical bifurcation analysis is presented to compare the experimental observations of shear bands with strain localization prediction.

Das neue Kontaktmodell in Mechanica WF 4.0 mit Reibung : Theoretische Grundlagen und AnwendungsbeispieleJakel, Roland 11 May 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Der Vortrag stellt das neue, unendlich reibungsbehaftete Kontaktmodell der FEM-Berechnungssoftware Pro/ENGINEER Mechanica in der Version Wildfire 4.0 von PTC vor. Dabei werden sowohl die Grundlagen des reibungsfreien Kontaktes als auch die Theorie des unendlich reibungsbehafteten Kontaktmodells behandelt sowie die Grundlagen der zur numerischen Lösung in der Software verwendeten Penalty- und Newton-Raphson-Methode erläutert.
Als Anwendungsbeispiel für das reibungsfreie Kontaktmodell wird ein Zylinderrollenlager vollständig mit sämtlichen Wälzkontakten für verschiedene Lager- und Einbauspiele berechnet, die Ergebnisse umfassend dargestellt sowie eine analytische Gegenrechnung nach der Hertzschen Theorie ausgeführt, die sehr gute Übereinstimmung mit der numerischen Simulation zeigt. Für das reibungsbehaftete Kontaktmodell wird exemplarisch eine geschrumpfte Welle-Nabe-Verbindung unter Torsion berechnet. Diese wird einer analytischen Lösung sowie verschiedenen 2D-Idealisierungen (ebener Spannungszustand, ebener Dehnungszustand, 2D-Axialsymmetrie) gegenübergestellt.
