Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clay characteristics, and particularly relates to a clay cyclic stability and weakening constitutive model and a numerical implementation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rapid development of China's offshore wind power is inseparable from the unique seabed geological conditions - the widespread distribution of clay layers under vast sea areas is not only the key medium supporting the wind turbine foundation, but also the core challenge restricting engineering safety due to its complex mechanical properties. As a typical marine sediment, the marine clay around the pile foundation has low strength, high compressibility, and significant time dependence. The wind turbine needs to continuously withstand the cyclic loads of wind, wave, and flow during long-term operation, and its mechanical response presents complex nonlinear characteristics: cyclic loading can cause soil stiffness degradation, pore water pressure accumulation, and irreversible plastic strain, which in turn leads to foundation settlement and may even cause structural overturning. This characteristic is in sharp contradiction with the trend of China's offshore wind power expanding into the deep sea - the foundation structure needs to withstand various complex environmental loads including seismic loads, and the research demand for the dynamic response of offshore wind turbine clay foundation under cyclic loading is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] Marine clay has relatively complex mechanical properties, and the cumulative behavior of clay under different amplitude cyclic loads can be divided into two modes: cyclic stability and cyclic weakening. Most existing constitutive models (such as the Mróz multi-surface model and the CASM-c model) can only describe cyclic stability or cyclic weakening individually and cannot capture the dynamic switching of both modes. This single-mode representation capability does not match the complex soil response under combined loads (such as random wind and wave coupling) in the actual operation of offshore wind turbine foundations, resulting in insufficient accuracy in long-term deformation prediction.

[0004] Secondly, even if some existing boundary surface models can describe the cyclic mechanical properties of clay and couple the cyclic double-mode behavior, their high theoretical complexity and excessive parameter requirements will significantly increase the numerical calculation cost, making it difficult to embed them into commercial finite element software for large-scale engineering simulation. This defect particularly restricts their real-time design and safety assessment applications in deep-sea wind power projects. Based on this, the present application proposes a clay cyclic stability and weakening constitutive model and a numerical implementation method. SUMMARY

[0005] The application aims to provide a clay cyclic stability and weakening constitutive model and a numerical implementation method, which can represent behaviors of soil under cyclic loading, such as hysteresis effect and stiffness nonlinear attenuation, by constructing a dynamic evolution boundary surface with fewer parameters, and can overcome defects of high theoretical complexity, low calculation efficiency and too many required parameters, and can realize dynamic switching of two modes of clay cyclic stability and cyclic weakening, and can solve the stability-efficiency problem of traditional explicit integration in strong nonlinear constitutive calculation by controlling relative error to dynamically adjust the substep size.

The error control value SSTOL was set to 1e-6 based on experience. The initial conditions and model parameters were consistent with the previous Georgiakaolin clay experiment. A unidirectional cyclic (q) test was conducted. cyc =50kPa) and bidirectional circulation (q cyc Numerical simulation (e.g., 80 kPa). Figure 7 As shown in Figures a and b, the simulation results from Abaqus and the prediction results from the constitutive model are in good agreement under both loop modes, thus verifying the accuracy of the algorithm design and subroutine writing.

[0177] The constitutive model of this invention was used to test strip foundations under cyclic loading, further verifying the model's performance in solving boundary value problems. The bottom surface of the soil was fixed, the top surface was set as a free displacement surface, and the sides were constrained by horizontal displacement. All boundary surfaces except the top surface were considered undrained interfaces. The soil was discretized using C3D8P elements, resulting in 13266 discretized elements. The strip foundation was modeled as a rigid body connected to the soil surface, with a width of 7.61 cm, a length of 22.9 cm, and a height of 3.81 cm; the model box dimensions were 22.9 cm wide, 91.5 cm long, and 60.7 cm high. Due to the symmetry of the problem, only one-quarter of the model was used for numerical analysis. The soil mechanical parameters were consistent with those of the aforementioned Georgiakaolin clay (Table 1).

[0178] First, a vertical displacement load is applied at the reference point. Because the top boundary can drain water, the pore pressure accumulates below the strip foundation as the number of cycles increases and gradually decreases towards the soil surface. The displacement accumulation rate gradually decreases, and the soil tends to reach a cyclically stable state. Figure 8 The cumulative vertical displacements of the experimental and simulation results were compared. The simulation results were largely consistent with the experimental data, and the numerical simulation results fully demonstrated the practicality of the model in solving boundary value problems.

[0180] As Figures 9-11 shown, the boundary surface constitutive model proposed by the application aims to accurately describe the complex mechanical behavior of marine clay, providing theoretical support for offshore wind power support structure design. Considering the expansion of offshore wind power development to seismic active areas, the safety of wind turbine foundations under cyclic seismic loads faces severe challenges, so this embodiment carries out finite element simulation of the dynamic response of offshore wind turbines under seismic loads to verify the engineering applicability of the model.

[0181] Abaqus is used to establish a three-dimensional finite element model of offshore wind turbines, and the geometric parameters of each part are shown in Table 2. The soil body base boundary is set to Y = Z = 0, and the Y = 0 constraint is applied to the four vertical boundaries. To simulate the seismic response of an infinite horizontal layer, equal displacement constraints are applied to the two vertical boundaries parallel to the YOZ plane. The total model is discretized into 30016 C3D8 elements, and the local mesh is refined in the soil around the pile and the pile-soil contact area (as shown in Figure 9 ), the normal direction of the pile-soil contact is set to hard contact, and the tangential direction uses the Coulomb friction model (friction coefficient 0.3). The tower and single pile are set as steel structures, with an elastic modulus of 210 GPa, a Poisson's ratio of 0.3, and a density of 8500 kg / m 3 . The soil density is 1860 kg / m 3 , and the mechanical properties are considered under undrained conditions, using the aforementioned constitutive model with parameters consistent with the Georgia kaolin clay in Table 1. Two working conditions are set: (a) cyclic stability (c d =-10); (b) cyclic weakening (c d =10). The hydrodynamic pressure is simulated by the added mass method. The seismic input is the Northern California earthquake wave, with a peak acceleration amplitude of 0.5g and a horizontal acceleration applied to the bottom of the foundation in the X direction.

[0184] Figure 10 The time evolution of the single pile settlement at the seabed mud surface is shown in a. The settlement rate shows a nonlinear characteristic of first increasing and then decreasing, which is consistent with the reported cyclic weakening-stability transition law. Under initial loading, the single pile settlement under the two working conditions develops almost synchronously; with the increase of load duration, the cyclic weakening effect leads to the attenuation of soil stiffness, eventually resulting in the accumulation of larger displacement. Figure 10 The b in the formula reflects the rotation angle of the single pile of the fan at the seabed mud surface, and the time history evolution law when it is in different cyclic behaviors: with the increase of the cycle number, the rotation angle presents a development mode of first rapid rise and then gradual stabilization, and the residual rotation angle is close to zero, which is widely observed in centrifuge tests and numerical simulation; compared with the cyclic steady state, the cyclic weakening weakens the acceleration amplification effect, resulting in a significant decrease in the acceleration response of the seabed mud surface, and then affects the amplitude of the rotation angle of the single pile.

[0185] Considering that the constitutive model is constructed based on the effective stress framework, the dynamic evolution process of the pore water pressure of the soil around the pile can be simulated synchronously, combined with Figure 11 It can be seen that the pore water pressure presents a fluctuating growth characteristic with the loading history, and the closer to the seabed mud surface area, the lower the cumulative amount is; compared with the cyclic steady state, the cyclic weakening will lead to a higher cumulative amount of pore water pressure and a more significant fluctuation amplitude.

[0186] Therefore, the clay cyclic steady and weakening constitutive model and numerical implementation method adopt the above structure, which can represent various complex mechanical behaviors of marine clay under cyclic loading by constructing a dynamically evolving boundary surface with fewer parameters, overcoming the defects of high theoretical complexity and excessive required parameters of traditional constitutive models, and realizing the dynamic switching of the two modes of clay cyclic stability and cyclic weakening; the corresponding numerical implementation method is based on the explicit integration method and adjusts the substep length according to the relative error, realizes the precision-efficiency self-balancing, significantly improves the calculation accuracy and convergence, and provides a numerical implementation scheme with stronger robustness for large-scale geotechnical engineering boundary value problem simulation.

[0187] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit them, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present application, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.< / l> < / l> < / l> < / l>
