Shock and Vibration Special Issue on Anti-Vibration Theory and Technology in Underground Tunnels CALL FOR PAPERS With the construction of a transportation network, underground tunnels are Lead Guest Editor undergoing more challenges. One of the most signicant issues is the inuence Zhigang Tao, China University of of vibration load on the stability of support structures. Underground tunnels are Mining and Technology, Beijing, China mainly subjected to blasting vibration and articial disturbance. According to the taozhigang@òâç.net dierence in frequency and amplitude of vibration load, the supporting structure, shallow surrounding rock, and deep surrounding rock of underground tunnels Guest Editors will be damaged and destroyed to dierent extents. If the eective supporting Chun Zhu, China University of Mining reinforcement is not carried out, the surrounding rock may be deformed greatly, even and Technology, Beijing, China inducing rockburst. To improve construction in underground tunnel engineering, zhuchuncumtb@Ôâç.com anti-vibration theory and technology of underground tunnel has become a popular topic of research in underground engineering. Qingxiang Meng, Hohai University, Nanjing, China Currently, the anti-vibration support theory of tunnel surrounding rocks is mainly [email protected] based on yielding, energy absorption, high strength, integrity, and other ideas. Usu- ally, high-strength support structures can maintain the deformation of surrounding Yun Lin, Central South University, rocks, while the energy absorption structure can absorb the energy transmitted by Changsha, China the vibration wave to ensure the stability of surrounding rocks. erefore, many yunlinâÔÞ@csu.edu.cn supporting structures and bolts with large deformation and energy absorption characteristics have become useful. Nowadays, further research has been conducted Yuanchao Zhang, Nagasaki University, to enhance the anti-vibration performance of underground tunnels by carrying out Nagasaki, Japan large deformation energy absorption supporting measures. bb òòÔÀÔýò@ms.nagasaki-u.ac.jp e aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original research and review Submission Deadline articles highlighting the latest theories, advanced monitoring equipment, and recent Friday, â August òýòÔ engineering problems and solutions. Submissions discussing laboratory testing, eld investigations and computational methods are welcome. Publication Date December òýòÔ Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: eories and methods improving the anti-vibration performance of underground tunnels Physical model experiment, numerical simulation analysis and theoretical analysis of the failure mechanism of tunnels under vibration load Physical model experiments in technology and equipment that can eectively ensure the stability of surrounding rocks in underground tunnels under vibration load Numerical simulation in technology and equipment that can eectively ensure the stability of surrounding rocks in underground tunnels under vibration load eoretical analysis in technology and equipment that can eectively ensure the stability of surrounding rocks in underground tunnels under vibration load Advances in intelligent support equipment combined with monitoring Monitoring data, anti-vibration scheme design and analysis in underground tunnel engineering Authors can submit their manuscripts through the Manuscript Tracking System at https://review.hindawi.com/submit?specialIssue=çý⥠. Papers are published upon acceptance, regardless of the Special Issue publication date..
