Slope Stability Analysis Based on Leader Dolphins Herd Algorithm and Simplified Bishop Method

Abstract

According to the principles of bionics and predatory behavior of dolphins, Leader Dolphin Herd Algorithm (LDHA) was designed, whose performance is also tested on the basis of heuristic algorithm, showing that LDHA is obviously superior to the other algorithms in calculation accuracy and efficiency. The minimum safety factor of sliding surface was taken as the objective function, the recurrence formula of safety factor based on simplified Bishop Method was regarded as constraint condition, a nonlinear multi-objective optimization mathematical model used for analyzing slope stability was established. the process of searching slope sliding surface and solving safety factor were designed on account of LDHA. By taking homogeneous slope and layered slope as calculation examples compared to other intelligent algorithms, the results show that the calculation result of LDHA is close to that of Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing Algorithm and improved Genetic Algorithm. Moreover, the LDHA has less iterations and faster convergence rate, and the result is closer to the optimal solution, which indicates the feasibility and practicability of LDHA in solving the minimum stability safety factor.

Analytical Damage Model for Predicting Coal Failure Stresses by Utilizing Acoustic Emission

“…For instance, Zhao et al investigated the impact of water saturation on failure and AE features on sandstone. For this, UC tests and numerical simulations have been utilized to investigate the development of microcracks and sandstone failure patterns [40][41][42][43]. In simulation, using PFC 2D software, the results indicated that increasing water content within the rock significantly decreased the coal strength, strain ratio (strain to peak strain), Young's modulus, AE energy (average), and the maximum energy of a single AE event.…”
