Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transient heat transfer stress in three-dimensional layered semi-infinite foundations, and particularly to a coupled numerical analysis method for transient heat transfer stress in three-dimensional layered semi-infinite foundations. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering practice, the analysis of transient heat conduction and thermal stress coupling in three-dimensional layered semi-infinite foundations is a key challenge. Temperature changes in semi-infinite media such as deep rock masses and layered foundations induce complex and time-evolving stress fields, directly affecting the stability, durability, and safety of engineering structures. Accurately predicting this thermo-mechanical coupling behavior is crucial for fields such as geothermal resource development, nuclear waste geological disposal, and large-scale foundation design. However, traditional numerical methods often face the challenge of balancing computational accuracy and efficiency when simulating complex problems involving unbounded domains, material heterogeneity, and transient processes.

[0003] For the thermo-mechanical coupling problem of three-dimensional layered semi-infinite foundations, numerical and analytical methods are the main research approaches. Numerical methods, such as the finite element method, can handle complex geometries, material nonlinearities, and transient processes, but they require discretization of the entire computational domain. When dealing with semi-infinite domains, it is often necessary to introduce artificial boundaries for truncation, which can not only introduce errors but also significantly increase the model size, leading to high computational costs and reduced efficiency. On the other hand, while analytical methods can provide accurate solutions and are computationally efficient, they usually rely on highly simplified and idealized assumptions, such as homogeneous materials, regular geometries, and simple boundary conditions, limiting their applicability to layered, heterogeneous media and complex thermal loads commonly encountered in practical engineering. Therefore, developing a computational method that can efficiently and accurately analyze the transient thermo-mechanical coupling response in three-dimensional layered semi-infinite foundations is urgently needed and of significant value. Summary of the Invention

Taylor expansion is performed on the exponential matrix within the time point, and numerical loops are executed to obtain the solution of the homogeneous term. Gaussian integration is used to solve the non-homogeneous term. Finally, the solutions of the homogeneous term and the non-homogeneous term are superimposed to obtain the temperature value of each time point.

Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the results of SBFEM are comprehensively compared with the detailed simulation results of the traditional finite element method (FEM). Internal point A (-30, 0, -40) and surface point B (60, 0, 0) are selected, and the calculated values ​​of temperature, stress, and displacement at different time points are compared (Tables 3 and 4). The results show that the coefficient of determination R for all variables is... 2 Extremely high (e.g., R of the stress field at point B) 2 =0.9992), and the mean relative error (MRE) is very small (MRE of stress field at point B = 1.20%). Furthermore, this invention requires only 29,163 degrees of freedom, while the FEM model with equivalent accuracy requires 82,636 degrees of freedom. The CPU computation time for SBFEM is 13.6 minutes, while that for FEM is 28.8 minutes, representing an improvement in computational efficiency of approximately 52.8%. Therefore, this invention significantly improves computational efficiency while maintaining computational accuracy.
