Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of suspended tunnel experiments, and in particular relates to a multi-physical field collaborative generation experimental method for a suspended tunnel truncation model. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid growth of the demand for cross-sea channel construction in deep-sea areas, floating tunnels have gradually become an innovative solution for the construction of transportation infrastructure in deep-sea areas due to their advantages of small impact on the environment, strong crossing capacity and relatively low long-distance construction cost. However, the complex environmental conditions in the deep sea, such as multiple environmental loads such as waves, ocean currents and earthquakes, have greatly increased the difficulty of the design and construction of floating tunnels, and posed a severe challenge to their long-term service safety.
[0003] At present, most of the research on ultra-long suspended tunnels focuses on the influence of single environmental loads (such as waves, ocean currents or earthquakes) on their dynamic response and fatigue performance. The research content is relatively independent and lacks a comprehensive multi-hazard coupling research framework. Especially in the context of multi-hazard coupling, the experimental study of the truncated model of ultra-long tension-leg suspended tunnels needs to solve the simulation problem of the synergistic effect of multiple physical fields, including the coupling effect between multiple fields, the rationality of the test scale and the accuracy of data acquisition. At present, the experimental method system for this problem is still imperfect, and it is urgent to develop a systematic experimental method that can simulate the synergistic effect of multiple physical fields to provide reliable technical support for actual engineering design. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention proposes a multi-physical field collaborative generation experimental method for a suspended tunnel truncation model. This method can efficiently and accurately simulate the multi-field coupling of waves, ocean currents and earthquakes, and provides a reliable experimental means for studying the dynamic response and safety performance of suspended tunnel structures under complex environmental loads.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a multi-physical field collaborative generation experimental method for a suspended tunnel truncation model, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1: Truncated design of full-scale ultra-long suspended tunnel prototype:
[0007] S11: Truncation design: A full-scale finite element model of the reference suspended tunnel was established in the Mechanical module of the finite element analysis software ANSYS, as follows:
[0008] S111: Construction of full-scale numerical model: The tunnel body is simulated using "SOLID185" units, the cables are simulated using "LINK180" units, the fluid domain width is set to 50 times the diameter of the tunnel body, and the water body is simulated using "FLUID30" units;
[0009] S112: Boundary conditions and load settings: Set global gravity in the vertical direction, select the outer surface of the floating tunnel tube as the fluid-solid coupling interface, add static water pressure based on the free liquid surface condition, and set the boundary conditions on both sides to fully constrained fixed boundary conditions;
[0010] S113: Construct analysis process: First, static analysis is performed to determine the stress distribution and deformation state of the suspended tunnel structure under static load. Based on the static analysis results, wet modal analysis is performed to extract the modal parameters of the suspended tunnel structure. The ultra-long tension leg suspended tunnel consists of n suspended tunnel segments, and its wet modal calculation is achieved through formulas (1)-(4):

[0093] Example 2
[0094] (1) An ultra-long tension-leg suspension tunnel across the Qiongzhou Strait in the design plan is selected as an example. First, a numerical full-scale finite element model of the full-scale ultra-long suspension tunnel prototype is established. The cross-section of the pipe segment of the design example is circular, the length of each pipe segment is 100m, and the total length is 3000m. Based on these parameters, a full-scale finite element model of the suspension tunnel is established, and the ratio of the cable tensile stiffness and the bending stiffness of the pipe body of a single pipe segment is calculated to be K i C / K T i = 0.85, the ratio of the tensile stiffness of the overall cable and the bending stiffness of the tube of the super-long suspended tunnel is K C / K T =383, which meets the requirement of using unconstrained boundary conditions as the boundary of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model. The modal analysis of the full-scale ultra-long suspended tunnel prototype shows that the lateral first-order wet modal period of this embodiment is about 10s.
[0095] (2) Design the suspended tunnel truncation model according to the actual size of the wave flow flume 14. In this embodiment, the geometric scale ratio of the model design is set to 1:100, and a pipe section prototype with a truncation length of 80m is selected for scale design. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the tube body 1 of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model is a hollow cylinder with an overall length of 80 cm, an outer diameter of 12 cm, and an inner diameter of 10 cm. A water-proof cavity is arranged in the middle, and two cable constraint sections 24 are arranged 5 cm near both sides of the model. In addition, counterweight areas 23 are arranged on both sides of the model, and the buoyancy ratio of the model is adjusted to 1.35 by adjusting the weight of the composite counterweight block, so as to keep the buoyancy ratio consistent with the prototype design. The cable stiffness of the full-scale suspended tunnel truncation prototype is proportionally reduced according to the truncation length of the pipe section prototype, and the adjusted cable stiffness is reduced according to the stiffness scale and then divided into four equal parts. According to the spring design specification "GB / T 2088-2009 Dimensions and Parameters of Ordinary Cylindrical Helical Tension Springs", springs of appropriate specifications are selected. The overall assembly of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model is as follows. Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the cable strand 2 is connected to the equivalent spring 3, and the upper end is connected to the pipe body-cable connection anchor point 5. The spatial positioning of the pipe body of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model is achieved by adjusting the relative length of the strand. After the free oscillation test, the first lateral vibration wet mode of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model is 1.05s, which meets the scale ratio requirements of the natural vibration period of the full-scale ultra-long suspended tunnel prototype.
[0096] (3) Figure 4-5 As shown, the wave-flow-seismic multi-physics input system includes a wave action input system, a flow action input system and a seismic action input system. The wave action input system is a mechanical wave maker installed at one end of the wave tank. By adjusting the hydrodynamic input parameters, it is used to reproduce the complex wave loads in the deep sea area, including regular waves and irregular waves, and a wave-breaking device 13 is set at the other end of the water tank; the flow input system is provided with a diversion pipe 16 at both ends of the water tank, and the bottom of the diversion pipe 16 is connected by a round pipe equipped with a turbine motor 17, and multi-level flow rate input is achieved by adjusting the power parameters of the turbine motor 17. The seismic action input system is realized by an electric actuator 11 and a conductive bracket installed on the upper part of the model placement area, wherein the conductive bracket is provided with an anchor point connected to the model cable, and the original ground motion is simulated by adjusting the seismic action dynamic parameters of the electric actuator 11.
[0097] (4) Figure 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a variety of instruments are used to collect the load input and the dynamic response of the scaled floating tunnel truncation model. Specifically, a wave height meter 9 is used to measure the height of the waves, a Doppler velocimeter 10 is used to test the flow velocity of the water flow, a three-way waterproof acceleration sensor 6 is installed to test the acceleration input of the anchor point under the cable, a unidirectional acceleration sensor is used to test the acceleration output of the electric actuator 11, a tension and pressure sensor 8 is used to test the cable force change, and a binocular camera system 21 is used to identify the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the scaled floating tunnel truncation model tube body movement. The specific method is as follows:
[0098] ● Water surface elevation: Two wave height meters 9 are installed directly above the test model to measure the change of water surface elevation. They are arranged at the test section positions on both sides.
[0099] Water flow velocity: A Doppler velocimeter 10 is installed 1.0 m in front of the test model, at a height consistent with the centroid height of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model, for testing the water flow velocity.
[0100] Acceleration: Four three-way waterproof acceleration sensors 6 are installed at the restraint point of each cable, and a unidirectional acceleration sensor 7 is installed at the output end of the electric actuator 11 to test the acceleration output of the actuator in real time.
[0101] Cable tension: Four waterproof tension and pressure sensors 8 are installed between the lower anchor point of each cable and the spring to test the cable tension changes.
[0102] Motion state: Three high-contrast fluorescent markers 4 are arranged on the side of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model, with a center spacing of 5 cm. The motion time history of these three markers is recognized in real time based on the binocular camera system 21 and the marker recognition program written in Python. Then, the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model are obtained in real time through motion synthesis and data derivation.
[0103] In addition, the data of all sensors are synchronously collected through the NIPXI real-time data acquisition system. The specific sampling frequencies are: the sampling frequency of water surface elevation, acceleration response and cable force response is 1000Hz; the sampling frequency of flow velocity is 200Hz; and the motion state extraction frequency of the test model is 20Hz.
[0104] (5) Finally, through the above-mentioned testing and data acquisition methods, the dynamic response of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model under wave action, flow action, earthquake action and wave-flow-earthquake coupling action can be obtained, including response data such as displacement, velocity, acceleration and cable force.

This makes the first few modal frequencies calculated based on formula (1) and formula (9) highly consistent; S2: The design of the scaled floating tunnel truncation model meets the following similarity criteria: (1) Froude similarity: the similarity in fluid dynamics between the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model and the full-scale ultra-long suspended tunnel prototype; (2) Gravity similarity: ensuring that the mechanical responses of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model and the full-scale ultra-long suspended tunnel prototype under gravity are similar; (3) Geometric similarity: The size of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model is proportional to the full-scale super-long suspended tunnel prototype to maintain consistent geometric features; (4) Elastic similarity: The cable stiffness characteristics of the scaled suspended tunnel truncation model are scaled proportionally with the full-scale ultra-long suspended tunnel prototype to ensure the similarity of mechanical behavior; The scaled suspended tunnel truncation model includes the suspended tunnel body and cables, and its design steps are as follows: S21: Floating tunnel body: (1) Similarity criteria: satisfying Froude similarity, gravity similarity and geometric similarity; (2) Structure and material: The main body is a central hollow cylinder made of plexiglass with a cylindrical shape.
