Application of Numerical Simulation in Geotechnical Engineering
Dr. Meen-Wah Gui[1]
[1]Department of Civil Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei, Taiwan
In this work, COMSOL Multiphysics was used to develop a model to investigate the degree of saturation in sloped terrain. The model was validated via laboratory experiments incorporating Lan’s man-made rainfall slope model test. The validated model was used in an actual case study to simulate the Maokong Landslide.
微波加热煤岩裂隙变形的电－热－固耦合模型

[1] 新疆大学，乌鲁木齐，新疆，中国
为研究不同加热方式下煤岩内部裂隙在热力耦合作用下的变形特征，建立了微波和常规加热两种数值模型，考查了不同温度场分布特征下裂隙周边应力应变场的变化过程。研究结果表明：微波加热，温度场分布具有内高外低的特征，此时裂隙周边分布的应力多为压应力，且数值较大，裂隙边界位移表现为向内收缩；常规加热，温度场分布具有外高内低的特性，此时裂隙周边分布应力多为拉应力，但量值较低，裂隙边界位移表现为向外扩张；热源越靠近裂隙压应力越明显，反之拉应力明显。
