It is necessary to simplify the capacity spectrum into bilinear form so as to get characteristic point of hysteretic bone curve(especially the yield point and the yielded stiffness),ductility and equivalent damping of the structure.Three general methods of calculating yield point and yielded stiffness of equivalent SDOF are introduced and the yield point and the yielded stiffness of three frame structures are compared using above given methods in this paper.The hysteretic bone curves of equivalent SDOF are decided by the equivalent yield force and displacement,the maximum plastic displacements of equivalent SDOF under rare earthquake are calculated,and it is compared with the maximum plastic displacements of member structures using nonlinear dynamic analysis.Finally,the advice of simplifying capacity spectrum is advanced.     

Limitation and improvement of the equivalent capacity method for calculating the energy loss of distribution networks

Through the analysis of the equivalent resistance method, a limitation of the equivalent capacity method was presented. When the direction of power at the feeder source end was changing, the equivalent capacity method for handling small generations would produce a large power loss calculation error. An improved calculation method, one not based on a single equivalent resistance, was proposed. In this method, one day was divided into several periods (such as 24 h), so that the direction of power at the feeder source end for each period does not vary. The equivalent resistance and energy loss in each period were calculated. The sum of all energy losses provided the daily energy loss total. Numerical examples were used to verify the improved method.     

Distributed Power Flow Method Based on Ward Equivalent

With interconnecting and developing of power system, the problem of power flow computation on dispersed data resource need to be solved. A new distributed computation method of power flow based on Ward equivalent is presented. According to master-slaver splitting principle, multi-area interconnected power system is divided into master-slaver areas. Boundary buses in different areas are defined as different bus-types. Neighborhood areas are equivalent by Ward equivalent principle, and the equivalent injection power and equivalent impedance are worked out. Power flows from master area to slaver areas are solved by Newton method, and the equivalent injection power and equivalent impedance on the boundary are modified by their solutions. The process above repeats until to convergence. The proposed distributed power flow method takes full advantage of the information of power, voltage, network configuration in neighborhood areas, so it is better on convergence and quality of solution. The proposed algorithm is testified by IEEE 14-bus system and a practical 181-bus system.     

Planting density and sowing proportions of maize–soybean intercrops affected competitive interactions and water-use efficiencies on the Loess Plateau,China

In field trials on the Loess Plateau, China, in 2012–13, maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) were sole cropped and intercropped at three densities and with three sowing proportions. Maize was generally more growth efficient for biomass accumulation than soybean during the entire growth interval, as assessed using the relative efficiency index (REI_c). However, most of sowing proportion at each density displayed a trend of decreased growth with development. Throughout the growth period, the dry matter production and leaf area index (LAI) of maize increased as the plant density increased irrespective of whether it was grown as a sole crop or as an intercrop. However, the effect of increasing cropping density was less obvious for soybean. The LAI values of the sole crop treatment for both maize and soybean were greater than that of the intercropping system, indicating that the presence of maize and soybean together suppressed the respective growth of the two crops. At the final harvest, land equivalent ratios (LER) of 0.84–1.35 indicated resource complementarity in most of the studied intercrops. Complementarity was directly affected by changes in plant densities; the greatest LER were observed in 2 rows maize and 2 rows soybean intercrops at low density. The water equivalent ratio (WER), which characterized the efficiency of water resource use in intercropping, ranged from 0.84 to 1.68, indicating variability in the effect of intercropping on water-use efficiency (WUE).

Equivalent Duffing System Method of Nonlinear System Dynamic Reliability Analysis

Equivalent linear system method is the main method of nonlinear structural system random response analysis. While it would generate big error when the results of equivalent linear system method are used to analyze the structural dynamic reliability. Through minimum mean square error principle, general nonlinear system was converted to equivalent Duffing nonlinear system, based on which the structural dynamic reliability was analyzed. The accurate steady state analytic solution of Duffing nonlinear system can be worked out by FPK equation, so it is not only convenient but also accurate to analyze structural dynamic reliability by using the equivalent nonlinear system method. It is also shown that the analysis results of equivalent nonlinear system method presented here is reliable and the calculation accuracy is higher than equivalent linear system method apparently through the example analysis.     

Fast modeling of the motor broadband equivalent circuit model

This paper proposes a modeling method of the motor broadband equivalent circuit model. The impedance amplitude-frequency characteristics of the motor terminal through measuring are obtained. The impedance amplitude-frequency characteristics are devided into several regions based on its first resonant point information,and the motor broadband circuit topology is developed with each region equaling a resonance unit. The RLC parameters of resonance unit are extracted through frequency and corresponding impedance of the any non-resonant and resonant point in each unit. This proposed method is used to build DC and AC motor broadband equivalent circuit model. Their impedance amplitude-frequency characteristics are simulated by the Saber software. The measurement results and the simulation result of references are compared. The DC motor simulation results coincide with the measurement results in 0.1~50 MHz,and the AC motor is in 0.1~40 MHz. The results show that the motor broadband circuit model is reliable and feasible.     

Calculation Method for Equivalent Model of Regular Isolated Structure with Bend shear Deformation

Isolation technique was not only applied for middle or low buildings, but also recently it was applied to high rise buildings. For high rise buildings, multi order vibration should be considered for upper structure isolation and bend deformation should be taken into account in gross deformation because of large height to width ratio. On the basis of previous studies, calculation method of equivalent model for regular isolated structure with bend shear deformation characteristic was proposed according to equivalent criteria after the analysis for some model structures. With the proposed model, handwork calculation of earquake response for isolated structure can be simply completed and design efficiency of isolation structure was improved. Based on the case studies, the equivalency of proposed model was approved.

An experiment was conducted during rainy season (April-August) of 1994 and 1995 to assess the performance of rice, maize, sesame, greengram and blackgram grown in sole and intercropping system on Gangetic alluvial upland (Entisol) in West Bengal. India. All intercropping systems except sesame + rice had higher total productivity in terms of rice equivalent yield and net returns than all the sole crops. However, maximum advantage was obtained from paired row planted maize blackgram system followed by maize + sesame, maize + blackgram and paired row planted rice + blackgram. Paired row planted maize + blackgram increased land use efficiency (42%), rice equivalent yield (2955 kg ha⁻¹), monetary return (Rs. 7294 ha⁻¹), income equivalent ratio (1.22), monetary advantage (Rs. 3701 ha⁻¹) compared with other cropping systems, which proved to be the most efficient system. The same treatment also indicated a modest competitive ratio (4.65:0.21) and gave a good value for the product of crowding coefficient (8.28).

Grounded on the theory of power equilibrium, a novel single phase series active power filter (APF) is proposed . By analyzing the power equilibrium character of series APF, the control algorithm and equation are deduced. In the proposed control strategy, instead of the fundamental current detection and complex computation, only the capacitance voltage and the source current on d.c. side are needed. The clear control loop has been realized with simple circuit and the series proposed APF can compensate both reactive and harmonic current simultaneously. The simulation results show the excellent compensation effect and confirm the validity of theoretical analysis.     

Influence of Transverse Flexural Crack on Chloride Penetration in Concrete

The mechanism for chloride penetration in cracked concrete and its major impact factors were analyzed. As a result, a revised chloride diffusion model based on Fick's Law was built by dual porous medium model. Then several cracked reinforced concrete beams self-anchored with sustained flexural loads were immersed in the 5% NaCl solution with the condition of dry-wet cycles. After 15 times of dry-wet cycles, the rapid chloride testing (RCT) was used for the determination of chloride ion content of the powder at each cracked sections. The test results show that: 1) with the condition of dry-wet cycles, the chloride content will occur a peak in the surface 20mm concrete, so the depth for surface convection zone can be assumed to be 15~20 mm; 2) when the crack width is less than 0.3mm, the equivalent chloride diffusion coefficient increases steadily, which agrees well with model's prediction; when the crack width is larger than 0.3mm, the equivalent chloride diffusion coefficient augments rapidly and influence of convection on chloride penetration becomes more significant; 3) the deterioration factor for equivalent chloride diffusion coefficient in flexural cracked concrete is directly correlative with crack width, which can be expressed by second order power function or separate function.
