The damage characteristics of a shallow buried tunnel under multiple explosive loads is an important research issue in the design and evaluation of protective engineering. It is of great significance to develop a method for early warning of the safety of the shallow buried features. The discrete element method is used to establish a mechanical model of the shallow buried tunnel. The South Load Equivalent Principle treats blast loads as a series of dynamic forces acting uniformly on the surface. Based on the discrete element method, the dynamic response after each blast load and the damage evolution process of the surrounding rock of the tunnel are obtained. The strength reduction method is used to obtain the surrounding rock of the tunnel. Introduce the theory of continuous homology, and use the mathematical method of continuous homology to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the failure characteristics of the discrete element model under multiple explosive loads. The results show that the method of continuous homology can accurately reflect the topological characteristics of the surrounding rock of the tunnel The maximum one-dimensional bar code connection radius can effectively warn tunnel instability. This provides a new mathematical method for tunnel safety design and disaster prediction research.
The study of tunnel failure characteristics under the load of external explosion source is an important problem in tunnel design and protection, in particular, it is of great significance to construct an intelligent topological feature description of the tunnel failure process. The failure characteristics of tunnels under explosive loading are described by using discrete element method and persistent homology-based machine learning. Firstly, the discrete element model of shallow buried tunnel was established in the discrete element software, and the explosive load was equivalent to a series of uniformly distributed loads acting on the surface by Saint-Venant principle, and the dynamic response of the tunnel under multiple explosive loads was obtained through iterative calculation. The topological characteristics of surrounding rock is studied by persistent homology-based machine learning. The geometric, physical and interunit characteristics of the tunnel subjected to explosive loading are extracted, and the nonlinear mapping relationship between the topological quantity of persistent homology, and the failure characteristics of the surrounding rock is established, and the results of the intelligent description of the failure characteristics of the tunnel are obtained. The research shows that the length of the longest Betty 1 bar code is closely related to the stability of the tunnel, which can be used for effective early warning of the tunnel failure, and an intelligent description of the tunnel failure process can be established to provide a new idea for tunnel engineering protection.
Using software UDEC to simulate the instability failure process of slope under seismic load, studing the dynamic response of slope failure, obtaining the deformation characteristics and displacement cloud map of slope, then analyzing the instability state of slope by using the theory of persistent homology, generates bar code map and extracts the topological characteristics of slope from bar code map. The topological characteristics corresponding to the critical state of slope instability are found, and the relationship between topological characteristics and instability evolution is established. Finally, it provides a topological research tool for slope failure prediction. The results show that the change of the longest Betti 1 bar code reflects the evolution process of the slope and the law of instability failure. Using discrete element method and persistent homology theory to study the failure characteristics of slope under external load can better understand the failure mechanism of slope, provide theoretical basis for engineering protection, and also provide a new mathematical method for slope safety design and disaster prediction research.
The Mantanza-Riachuelo basin recovery is one of the most ambitious environmental projects under construction in Argentina. In this context, the sanitary bureau of the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (AySA) is building a sewage collection network to transport the waste water of the population in the southern area of the city, composed by almost five million people. The most complex tunnel in this big project is named textit{Lot 3}, an outfall EPB-TBM tunnel starting at a shaft located at the textit{Rio de la Plata} margin and running under the river 12 km to a discharge area. The tunnel runs through soft clay belonging to the textit{post-pampeano} formation and dense sands of the textit{Puelchese} formation. In operation, it will be pressurized by a pumping station which will produce a piezometer head that, in the first 2000 m, might be eventually higher than the confining pressure around the tunnel. This paper presents the numerical analysis of the structural forces acting on the tunnel rings using a risk-oriented approach that considers the stochastic nature of materials, stratigraphy and tunnel-ground interaction. The compression of the lining is evaluated and compared with field measurements in order to predict the structural forces and the risk of the rings going into tension beyond the structural capacity of the system.
To gain insight into reaction mechanism of activated processes, we introduce an exact approach for quantifying the topology of high-dimensional probability surfaces of the underlying dynamic processes. Instead of Morse indexes, we study the homology groups of a sequence of superlevel sets of the probability surface over high-dimensional configuration spaces using persistent homology. For alanine-dipeptide isomerization, a prototype of activated processes, we identify locations of probability peaks and connecting-ridges, along with measures of their global prominence. Instead of a saddle-point, the transition state ensemble (TSE) of conformations are at the most prominent probability peak after reactants/products, when proper reaction coordinates are included. Intuition-based models, even those exhibiting a double-well, fail to capture the dynamics of the activated process. Peak occurrence, prominence, and locations can be distorted upon subspace projection. While principal component analysis account for conformational variance, it inflates the complexity of the surface topology and destroy dynamic properties of the topological features. In contrast, TSE emerges naturally as the most prominent peak beyond the reactant/product basins, when projected to a subspace of minimum dimension containing the reaction coordinates. Our approach is general and can be applied to investigate the topology of high-dimensional probability surfaces of other activated process.
We introduce a homology-based technique for the analysis of multiqubit state vectors. In our approach, we associate state vectors to data sets by introducing a metric-like measure in terms of bipartite entanglement, and investigate the persistence of homologies at different scales. This leads to a novel classification of multiqubit entanglement. The relative occurrence frequency of various classes of entangled states is also shown.
