Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering physical simulation, and in particular to an impact-type wave-making test method under a hypergravity field. Background Art
[0002] Wave load is the primary load faced in marine engineering construction, and the wave-structure-foundation interaction problem is also a difficulty in marine engineering. Previous studies on this problem mainly relied on numerical simulation and normal gravity wave tank simulation methods, and lacked means to simulate waves and currents under hypergravity fields. Model tests under hypergravity fields are the only research method that can truly restore the engineering stress state. Therefore, it is necessary to develop corresponding hypergravity test simulation devices.
[0003] Currently, domestic wave and flow simulation devices for hypergravity fields primarily use rocking or push-plate wave generators. These wave generators, when placed in a model water tank, are prone to generating eddies during reciprocating motion, disrupting wave generation and resulting in poor wave generation. Furthermore, their power mechanisms are prone to seizure and wear during high-frequency motion, impacting efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of impact wave-generating test device and test method under a hypergravity field, which can generate periodic wave motion by regularly hitting the water surface under a hypergravity field, and truly simulate the wave-structure-foundation interaction in the ocean environment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for impact wave generation test under a hypergravity field to address the technical defects existing in the prior art.
[0006] The technical solutions adopted to achieve the purpose of this application are:

Then, bury the soil pressure sensor, pore pressure sensor and displacement sensor at a certain depth inside the soil sample.
[0014] Step 3: Process the structural model by pressing the structural model into the soil sample at a set depth to complete the processing of the model soil box;
[0015] Step 4: After the model soil box of step 3 is processed, the model soil box is hoisted as a whole into the set position of the hypergravity model box, and then water is added to the hypergravity model to a certain height, and then the power module is fixed to the hypergravity model box;
[0016] Step 5: Place the hypergravity model in the hypergravity field and connect it to the control system and sensor sampling system;
[0017] Step 6: Start the impact wave-making test device under the hypergravity field. The high-power servo motor drives the wave-making block to regularly hit the water surface to generate periodic waves. According to the test needs, the wave height, frequency, and wavelength parameters are adjusted by adjusting the rotation frequency of the high-power servo motor or replacing the wave-making block. The impact and disturbance of the waves on the soil sample and the structural model are observed to simulate the wave-structure-foundation interaction in the marine environment.

[0048] The model soil box 4 is installed inside the supergravity model box 6, and the wave absorbing plate 5 is installed on the rear side of the model soil box 4 to absorb wave energy through resonance and water flow interaction, thereby reducing wave reflection. Figure 8 The wave absorbing plate 5 is an aluminum alloy wall plate, and the wave absorbing plate 5 is provided with long strip slots 501 at equal intervals; Figure 9 The hypergravity model box 6 includes multiple aluminum alloy wall panels 601. An observation window 602 is provided on the side of the hypergravity model box 6. The observation window 602 is installed with organic glass with sufficient transparency to facilitate the operator to observe the impact of waves on the model soil box 4.
[0049] See also Figure 7 The model soil box 4 includes a soil box 401, a soil sample 402, and a structural model 403. The soil sample 402 is placed inside the soil box 401. Strain gauges are attached to the surface of the structural model 403 to measure the internal forces of the structural model 403.

The soil box 401 is made of aluminum alloy.
[0050] A test method based on an impact wave-generating test device in a hypergravity field comprises the following steps:
[0051] Step 1: Dry the test soil material, sieve it, remove impurities, add water and stir it into a test mud with a water content of about 2 times the liquid limit.
[0052] Step 2: Pour the test slurry into the model soil box 4 and pressurize it to form a soil sample 402 of a certain density, ensuring that the soil sample 402 is fully saturated. Then, bury the soil pressure sensor, pore pressure sensor and displacement sensor at a certain depth inside the soil sample 402.
[0053] Step 3, processing the structural model 403, pasting strain gauges on the surface of the structural model 403, and performing waterproofing on it, then pressing the structural model 403 into the soil sample 402 to a set depth, completing the processing of the model soil box 4.

[0055] Step 5: Place the hypergravity model 6 in the hypergravity field and connect it to the control system and the sensor sampling system.
[0056] Step 6: Start the impact wave-making test device under the hypergravity field. The high-power servo motor 1 drives the wave-making block 3 to regularly beat the water surface to generate periodic waves. According to the test needs, the wave height, frequency, and wavelength parameters of the wave are adjusted by adjusting the rotation frequency of the high-power servo motor 1 or replacing the wave-making block 3. The impact and disturbance of the waves on the soil sample 402 and the structural model 403 are observed, and the wave-structure-foundation interaction in the marine environment is simulated to promote in-depth research on hot issues such as marine interaction theory, marine disasters, and marine exploration.
[0057] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" are used in the embodiments to illustrate the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figures and another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the element described as being "under" other elements or features will be positioned "above" other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "under" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device can be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used here can be interpreted accordingly.
[0058] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are merely used to distinguish one component from another having the same name, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these components.
[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
