Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of extraterrestrial construction technology, and more specifically, it relates to a centrifugal model test device and method for pile-soil interaction considering the large temperature variation effect of extraterrestrial environment. Background Technology
[0002] As humanity gradually ventures into extraterrestrial environments such as the Moon and Mars for long-term scientific research and survival, the extreme temperature variations and different gravitational fields present a significant challenge. Ensuring the load-bearing capacity, adaptability, and durability of infrastructure built in these unique environments has become a pressing technical problem. Differences in extraterrestrial gravitational fields, such as the Moon's gravity being one-sixth and Mars' gravity one-third, significantly alter the stress state of the foundation soil and pile foundations. Furthermore, the extreme temperature variations in extraterrestrial environments—for example, the diurnal temperature range on the Moon can exceed 300°C, and on Mars, it can exceed 100°C—cause material expansion and contraction, altering the interaction between the piles and the foundation soil and thus affecting the long-term stability of the pile foundation.
[0003] Centrifuge model testing, a commonly used method for testing the bearing capacity of foundations, can effectively reproduce the mechanical response of pile foundations under external gravity conditions by simulating the effects of different gravity fields on pile foundations. However, the boundaries of traditional model boxes are generally fixed in shape, which cannot coordinate with the deformation of the model soil under conditions of drastic thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in significant changes in the confining pressure at the model soil boundary and causing obvious boundary effects. Furthermore, the need for a loading device at the pile top affects the temperature field in the air interlayer, making it impossible for traditional heat exchange devices to effectively achieve independent control of the temperature boundaries at the pile top and the model soil surface. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a theoretically reliable and easy-to-operate centrifuge model testing device to study the interaction between piles and soil in external environments, thereby supporting the smooth development of external construction engineering technologies.

[0011] Furthermore, an aerogel felt is also provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped side plate to provide heat insulation.
[0012] Furthermore, a circular through groove is provided at the center of the heat exchange plate for accommodating the heat-force control device; an aerogel felt is also provided inside the circular through hole of the heat exchange plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the heat-transfer cylinder is made of a molybdenum alloy.
[0015] Furthermore, the monitoring system includes several earth pressure gauges, several strain gauges, several temperature sensors, and a data acquisition instrument; several earth pressure gauges are evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the servo model box on the inner side of the servo model box to provide real-time feedback on the boundary confining pressure state of the model soil; several strain gauges are evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the model pile on the outer side of the model pile; several temperature sensors are placed on the surface of the model soil and the top of the model pile to provide real-time feedback on the temperature at the boundary between the surface of the model soil and the top of the model pile; the data acquisition instrument is connected to the earth pressure gauges, strain gauges, and temperature sensors to collect test data.
[0016] A test method for a centrifugal model test device for pile-soil interaction considering the effects of large temperature variations in the external environment includes the following steps:
[0017] Step 1, Preliminary Preparations
[0018] Complete the preparation of model soil and the fabrication of model piles. Connect the soil pressure gauge, strain gauge, and temperature sensor to the data acquisition instrument and confirm that the servo model box, heat exchange plate, thermo-mechanical control device and monitoring system are operating normally.
[0019] Step 2, Sample loading and centrifugation acceleration
[0020] The prepared model soil was layered and filled into the servo model box. During the process, soil pressure gauges, strain gauges, temperature sensors, and model piles were embedded according to the test plan. The servo model box was placed in the centrifuge basket, and the confining pressure support rod was adjusted to apply a jacking force to the inner wall of the centrifuge basket, so that the arc side plate applied the predetermined confining pressure to the model soil. The data acquisition instrument was turned on to start collecting data, and the centrifuge acceleration was gradually increased to the design value of the test plan. The confining pressure of the model soil was servo controlled.
[0021] Step 3, Experimental Operation

[0023] Step 4: After the termination conditions of the test plan are met, shut down the annular heat exchanger and heat exchange plate, control the pile foundation loading jack to move upward to complete the unloading of the pile top, and gradually reduce the centrifugal acceleration to 0; after the internal temperature of the servo model box is consistent with the room temperature, remove the servo model box from the centrifuge basket and complete the unloading of soil; finally, shut down the data acquisition instrument, and recover the earth pressure gauge, strain gauge, temperature sensor and model pile; process and analyze the collected test data.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 1-4 This invention provides a centrifuge model test device for pile-soil interaction considering the large temperature variation effect of the extraterrestrial environment, including a servo model box 1, a model pile 2, a heat exchange plate 3, a thermo-mechanical control device, and a monitoring system 5. The servo model box 1 is fixed in a centrifuge basket 6 and is cylindrical, filled with model soil. The centrifuge applies simulated gravity according to the scale and the extraterrestrial gravity environment. An air gap is set on the upper part of the model soil. The model pile 2 is set at the center of the central axis of the servo model box 1, with the lower part buried in the model soil and the upper part exposed above the ground surface. The heat exchange plate 3 is fixed on the top of the servo model box 1 and is set above the model soil surface. The thermo-mechanical control device is set on the heat exchange plate 3, with the lower end penetrating the heat exchange plate 3 and aligned with the model pile 2, for loading and temperature control of the pile top boundary. The monitoring system 5 is used to collect the thermo-mechanical behavior of the model pile 2 and the stratum in real time and provide feedback for model boundary control.
[0037] The servo model box 1 includes an arc-shaped side plate 11, a confining pressure support rod 12, a double-folded plate 13, and a base plate 14. Multiple sets of arc-shaped side plates 11 are arranged circumferentially along the central axis of the servo model box 1. Adjacent sets of arc-shaped side plates 11 are connected by the double-folded plate 13. The base plate 14 is located below the arc-shaped side plates 11 and the double-folded plate 13, forming a cylindrical model boundary. Model soil is placed inside the model boundary. The outer side of the arc-shaped side plate 11 is connected to the confining pressure support rod 12. The confining pressure support rod 12 is configured as a servo jack, with its fixed end fixedly connected to the side wall of the centrifuge basket 6 and its moving end fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the arc-shaped side plate 11. An aerogel felt is also provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped side plate 11 for heat insulation.
[0038] The confining pressure support rod 12 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped side plate 11. Using the centrifuge basket 6 as a reaction wall, a jacking force is applied to the arc-shaped side plate 11. By adjusting the extension and retraction of the confining pressure support rod 12, active control of the confining pressure of the model soil inside the servo model box 1 can be achieved, thereby reducing the significant changes in confining pressure caused by the expansion and contraction of the model soil under large temperature variations. As the confining pressure support rod 12 extends and retracts, the spacing of the arc-shaped side plates 11 changes, and the double-folded plate 13 folds and extends accordingly, preventing the model soil from flowing out of the servo model box 1.
[0039] The heat exchange plate 3 has several circular through holes, which can control the surface temperature boundary by generating heat conduction in the air gap. A circular through groove is also provided at the center of the heat exchange plate 3 for housing the thermal control device; aerogel felt is also provided inside the circular through holes of the heat exchange plate 3 to provide heat insulation.
[0040] The thermal-force control device includes a thermal-force transfer cylinder 41, a pile foundation loading jack 42, an annular heat exchanger 43, and a reaction frame 44. The thermal-force transfer cylinder 41 is coaxially arranged with the model pile 2, with its lower end penetrating the heat exchange plate 3 and extending into the servo model box 1, and its upper end penetrating the annular heat exchanger 43 and fixedly connected to the pile foundation loading jack 42. The upper end of the pile foundation loading jack 42 is fixedly connected to the reaction frame 44. The annular heat exchanger 43 is located above the heat exchange plate 3. The reaction frame 44 is erected outside the servo model box 1, with its lower end fixedly connected to the centrifuge basket 6, providing a reaction force for the pile foundation loading jack 42. The pile foundation loading jack 42, when in operation, extends the thermal-force transfer cylinder 41 into the servo model box 1 and abuts against the model pile 2, transferring the jacking force of the pile foundation loading jack 42 to the model pile 2. The annular heat exchanger 43 controls the temperature boundary at the top of the model pile 2 through heat conduction via the heat-transfer cylinder 41. The heat-transfer cylinder 41 is made of molybdenum alloy, possessing high thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties under extreme high and low temperatures. The lower half of the heat-transfer cylinder 41 extending into the servo model box 1 is wrapped with aerogel felt for insulation.
[0041] The monitoring system 5 includes several earth pressure gauges 51, several strain gauges 52, several temperature sensors 53, and a data acquisition instrument. The earth pressure gauges 51 are evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the arc-shaped side plate 11 on the inner side surface of the arc-shaped side plate 11, used to provide real-time feedback on the boundary confining pressure state of the model soil, serving as the basis for adjusting the confining pressure support rod 12. The strain gauges 52 are evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the model pile 2 on the outer side surface of the model pile 2. The temperature sensors 53 are arranged on the surface of the model soil and the top of the model pile 2, used to provide real-time feedback on the temperature at the boundary between the surface of the model soil and the top of the model pile 2, serving as the basis for adjusting the output temperature of the annular heat exchanger 43 and the heat exchange plate 3. The data acquisition instrument is connected to the earth pressure gauges 51, strain gauges 52, and temperature sensors 53 for collecting test data. The earth pressure gauges 51, strain gauges 52, and temperature sensors 53 can also be arranged in the pile body of the model pile 2 and in the model soil according to the test plan.

[0045] Step 2, Sample loading and centrifugation acceleration
[0046] The prepared model soil is filled into the servo model box 1 in layers. During the process, soil pressure gauges 51, strain gauges 52, temperature sensors 53, and model piles 2 are buried according to the test plan. The servo model box 1 is placed in the centrifuge basket 6, and the confining pressure support rod 12 is adjusted to apply a jacking force to the inner wall of the centrifuge basket 6, so that the arc side plate 11 applies a predetermined confining pressure to the model soil. The data acquisition instrument is turned on to start collecting data, the centrifuge acceleration is gradually increased to the design value of the test plan, and the confining pressure of the model soil is servo controlled.
