Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

According to the characteristic structural features of jointed rock structures, a meshless model is proposed for the mechanics analysis of jointed rock structures based on the moving least-squares interpolants. In this model, a jointed rock structure is regarded as a system of relatively intact rock blocks connected by joints or planes of discontinuity; these rock blocks are modelled by general shaped anisotropic blocks while these joints and planes of discontinuity are modelled by interfaces. The displacement field of each block is constructed by the moving least-squares interpolants with an array of points distributed in the block. To deal with the discontinuities of rock structures, the displacement fields are constructed to be discontinuous between blocks. The displacement fields and their gradients are continuous in each block, hence no post processing is required for the output of strains and stresses. The finite element mesh is totally unnecessary, so the time-consuming mesh generation is avoided. The rate of convergence can exceed that of finite elements significantly, and a high resolution of localized steep gradients can be achieved. Furthermore, the discontinuities of rock structures are also fully taken into consideration. The present method is developed for two-dimensional linear elastic analysis of jointed rock structures, and can be extended to three-dimensional and non-linear analysis.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
