Arch Dam and Rock Base Cracking Processer Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

A numerical implement to simulate the crack propagating process in arch dam and rock base has been given. A new FE style was presented for improving the calculation accuracy and efficiency. In the period of dividing the dam structure and the foundation rock into an appropriate number of discrete subregion (finite elements), the adaptive method was used to divide the original 3-D element into a serial son-elements analogical to its father-elements entirely. Of course the 2-D element was divided into a serial son-elements analogical to its father-elements entirely using the same method. The element shape function was key factor. In the calculating processor, the arithmetic of load step was optimized. The arithmetic has important theory and utility value
