Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of large deformation technology in geotechnical engineering, and in particular to a particle-based method for calculating large deformation of earth-rock dams based on nodal integrals. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of earth-rock dam engineering, large deformation disasters such as dam landslides, dam slope instability, and earthquake-induced liquefaction-induced dam failures occur frequently. These problems are directly related to the stability, seepage prevention, and safety of downstream areas of the dam structure. Accurate numerical characterization of the mechanical state during its evolution is a core engineering requirement that urgently needs to be addressed. Although traditional small deformation theories (such as the classical finite element method) are widely used in scenarios such as static analysis of conventional earth-rock dams, they have significant limitations under large strain: the severe mesh distortion accompanying large deformations can lead to a sharp decrease in numerical accuracy, or even cause the solution to terminate, making it impossible to accurately capture the complex mechanical behavior of earth-rock dam construction materials (such as riprap and clay core materials).

[0003] To address these challenges, various numerical methods have been developed in the prior art, but all have significant drawbacks. One category is mesh-based methods, such as the arbitrary Lagrange-Euler method, which balances material tracking and mesh stability by dynamically adjusting node positions, and the coupled Euler-Lagrange method, which simulates fluids and solids using fixed Euler meshes and Lagrangian motions respectively. However, both methods rely on mesh topology, requiring complex adaptive remapping in large deformation scenarios where the earth-rock dam body is coupled with the foundation. Another category is particle-based methods, such as the smoothed particle hydrodynamic method, which discretizes the continuum into particles and approximates field variables using kernel functions. However, it suffers from numerical diffusion problems, making it difficult to accurately reflect the stress transfer characteristics within the earth-rock dam body. While the Galerkin meshless method eliminates mesh dependence, it requires complex shape function construction, resulting in low computational efficiency and failing to meet the requirement for accurate stress-strain transfer during large deformation processes in earth-rock dams. In addition, although hybrid methods such as the material point method and the particle finite element method combine the advantages of particle tracking and mesh solving, the state variable mapping of the material point method is prone to errors and is difficult to adapt to the nonlinear constitutive relationship of earth-rock dam construction materials; the stepwise mesh regeneration process of the particle finite element method is cumbersome and it is difficult to balance the accuracy and efficiency of large deformation analysis of earth-rock dams.

[0004] The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM), as a semi-analytical method, only requires discretizing element boundaries and applying analytical solutions radially. It performs exceptionally well in wave propagation and stress singularity problems and has recently been extended to plate and shell mechanics, fluid-structure interaction, and other fields. However, when SBFEM is extended to medium-finite strain scenarios, it still relies on the initial mesh topology and characterizes deformation stiffness by combining the geometric stiffness matrix and the material stiffness matrix. Under extreme large deformation scenarios such as overall sliding and local collapse of earth-rock dams, mesh distortion leads to unreliable computational results, making it difficult to meet the core requirements of extreme large deformation analysis in earth-rock dam engineering. This deficiency significantly limits its application in earth-rock dam engineering. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a numerical simulation method that can integrate the analytical advantages of SBFEM with the flexibility of the particle method to solve the problems of mesh distortion, computational interruption, and the imbalance between accuracy and efficiency under large deformation in earth-rock dams.

[0076] This invention effectively solves the core pain points of numerical methods in simulating large deformation of earth-rock dams by combining the semi-analytical advantages of the proportional boundary finite element method with the flexibility of the particle method. It relies on the initial mesh and is prone to interruption due to distortion. By using nodes to store complete state variables and a mesh regeneration mechanism, it can achieve continuous calculation of extreme large deformation processes without complex mesh re-deformation operations. This ensures the stability and continuity of numerical simulation in scenarios such as dam landslides and dam failures, and provides uninterrupted mechanical data support for engineering risk assessment.

[0077] This invention is based on a generalized shape function derived from the Laplace equation, which can accurately characterize the geometric and mechanical properties of triangular elements. Combined with strain smoothing technology, the element strain is projected to the nodes, which greatly reduces local integration errors. At the same time, the combination of the updated Lagrange framework and the explicit central difference method is used to accurately capture the nonlinear mechanical behavior of earth-rock dam construction materials. It is adapted to the large deformation response law of complex materials such as rockfill and clay core wall material, making the calculation results more consistent with engineering practice.

[0078] The nodal integral equilibrium equations constructed in this invention discretize the momentum conservation equations using the principle of virtual work and Green's divergence theorem, directly performing mechanical calculations with nodes as the core. This simplifies the complex unit integration and matrix assembly process of traditional methods. This efficient computational architecture not only shortens the numerical simulation cycle but also adapts to the computational needs of large-scale earth-rock dam models, meeting the practical requirements for rapid comparison and optimization of multiple schemes in engineering design, and significantly improving design efficiency.

[0079] This invention accurately outputs key mechanical parameters such as nodal displacement, stress, and strain during the large deformation process of earth-rock dams, clearly presenting the evolution path of crack initiation, propagation, and overall dam instability. These data provide precise numerical basis for the anti-sliding stability design, reinforcement of weak points, and disaster prevention of earth-rock dams, helping engineers to predict risk points in advance, optimize engineering plans, and reduce safety hazards and economic losses caused by large deformation disasters.

This equation includes the nodal mass matrix, the external force vector covering gravity and boundary traction, and the nodal internal force vector calculated by the smooth strain in S2.

[0099] S4. Time Discretization and State Variable Update: The dynamic equilibrium equations obtained in S3 are discretized in time using the explicit central difference method. The total calculation time is divided into several time steps according to the CFL steady-state time step. The state variable iteration is completed for each time step through the logic of velocity update, displacement update and stress update.

When the mesh distortion exceeds the threshold, discard the current poor quality mesh and regenerate a high-quality triangular mesh using the complete state variables stored in the nodes, including displacement, velocity, stress, etc., as the data source.

[0101] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the structure in S1 is discretized using triangular scaled boundary finite element elements, and a scaled boundary finite element coordinate system is established. The expression for interpolating each element using shape functions is as follows:

[0102]

[0103]

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] in, The Jacobian matrix for coordinate transformation has the following determinant: .

[0122] in, Indicate intermediate variables Regarding coordinates The first-order partial derivative, Let be the coefficient matrix of the structural domain, and the superscript -1 indicates the inverse of the matrix.

[0123] right Eigenvalue decomposition yields the corresponding eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors:

[0124]

[0125] in, and These are the eigenvector matrix and eigenvalue matrix corresponding to a finite field.

[0126] Radial analytic function through eigenvalue decomposition Transform into:

[0127]

[0128] The generalized shape function of the proportional boundary finite element is obtained as follows:

[0129]

[0130]

[0131] Furthermore, after obtaining the proportional boundary finite element shape function corresponding to the Laplace equation in S1, the coordinates of any point are also in the form of shape function interpolation, as follows:

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] in, This represents the coordinates of the nodes on the boundary. Using the chain rule, the corresponding coordinate transformation from the reference coordinate system to the physical coordinate system is:

[0135]

[0136]

[0137] Specifically, for the triangular scaled boundary finite element method, its isoparametric transformation matrix and corresponding strain-displacement matrix are:

[0138]

[0139]

[0140] in, for The inverse matrix, This represents the strain-displacement matrix of the i-th node of the corresponding triangular element.

[0141] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in S2, the strain displacement matrix of all elements around the node is concentrated onto the node corresponding to the smooth strain element, as follows:

[0142]

[0143] in, Represents a node coordinates Represents nodes The number of all connected nodes, Represents smooth strain element The strain-displacement matrix is ​​expressed as:

[0144]

[0145]

[0146] in, Represents smooth strain element area, Indicate its boundary, It represents the projection length of the normal unit vector onto the x or y direction.

[0147] Furthermore, the momentum equation for the continuous medium in S3 is expressed as:

[0148]

[0149] in, Indicates the density of the material. Indicates the acceleration of the material. It is the second-order Cauchy stress tensor. For physical loads.

[0150] Using the principle of virtual work and Green's divergence theorem, the momentum equation is transformed into:

[0151]

[0152] After introducing strain-smooth nodal integrals, it is further transformed into

[0153]

[0154]

[0155] in It is an external load. It is an internal nodal force. It's about node quality. or For nodal stress.

[0156] Furthermore, in S4, the time increment of the discrete momentum equation using the central difference method is defined as:

[0157]

[0158] Therefore, the velocity and displacement at the next time step are obtained as follows:

[0159]

[0160]

[0161]

[0162] Considering the time-stable step size, it is:

[0163]

[0164] in It is the stability coefficient. Indicates the characteristic length of the unit. This indicates the current wave speed.

[0165] In this embodiment, the generalized shape function and strain-displacement matrix of the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) are derived, specifically for the Laplace equation. Under the updated Lagrangian framework, strain smoothing techniques are used to project the state variables at the Gaussian integration points of the triangular SBFEM elements to the nodes, facilitating the solution of the equilibrium equations. When the mesh distortion reaches a significant level, the current mesh is discarded and remeshed. Since all state variables, including stress, displacement, and velocity, are concentrated on the nodes of the discarded mesh, subsequent mesh generation and calculation processes can continue seamlessly, thus achieving continuous simulation of the entire large deformation process.

[0166] Based on Example 1, this example details the implementation and verification of the particle-based earth-rock dam large deformation calculation method based on nodal integrals in a dynamic deformation scenario. By demonstrating consistency with traditional numerical methods within a small to medium deformation range, a cantilever beam free vibration case is selected as the verification under dynamic deformation conditions. This serves as a classic benchmark for verifying the dynamic response capability of the method in geotechnical engineering dynamic analysis. Specifically:

[0167] Given an undamped cantilever beam model with the following geometric parameters: beam length 2m, height 0.2m, one end completely fixed, the other end free; material parameters: elastic modulus 80MPa, Poisson's ratio 0.25, density 1850kg / m³; load conditions: a sudden gravitational acceleration of 10m / s² is applied vertically downwards, causing the beam to vibrate around its static equilibrium position; the deflection at the free end is defined as the vertical displacement relative to the initial stress-free state. Figure 4 As shown, the deflection time history curve of this invention highly overlaps with the results obtained from the updated Lagrange finite element method and the smoothed particle finite element method. All three exhibit a consistent periodic vibration trend, and the vibration amplitude and phase show no significant deviation. To quantitatively verify the accuracy, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the deflection and velocity time histories was calculated: compared with the updated Lagrange finite element method, the RMSE of the deflection is 0.0109 m; compared with the smoothed particle finite element method, the RMSE of the deflection is reduced to 0.0088 m, and the errors are both controlled at a low level.

[0168] To further verify the simulation capability of this invention in the large deformation flow problem of granular materials in geotechnical engineering, the case of aluminum particle column collapse was selected as the core benchmark for further verifying the large deformation numerical method for particle flow, shear band evolution, and sliding distance, as shown in Table 1 below:

[0169] Table 1 Comparison of the results of this method, experiments, and SPH calculations for smooth particle dynamics.

[0170] The model geometry and boundary conditions are as follows: the particle column is a two-dimensional rectangle with a width of 200 mm and a height of 100 mm, placed on a rigid bottom surface (constraining vertical displacement). A normal constraint is applied to the left boundary, and a temporary normal constraint is applied to the initial right boundary to maintain the initial shape. The material parameters are determined based on the experimental aluminum particle mixing characteristics: volumetric weight 20.4 kN / m³, elastic modulus 70 GPa, Poisson's ratio 0.3, cohesion 0 Pa, internal friction angle 30°, and dilatation angle 5°. As shown in the table, at time t = 0.335 s, the error compared to the experimental results is 1.2%, and the relative error compared to the smooth particle dynamics simulation results is 4.2%, further demonstrating the effectiveness and accuracy of the method of this invention.

[0171] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, integrations, and parameter changes made to these embodiments within the spirit and principles of the present invention, without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, through conventional substitutions or to achieve the same function, fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
