Wind-induced Response Analysis on a Large-span Membrane Roof by Considering Non-gaussian Stochastic Wind Pressure Field

The stochastic fluctuating wind pressure field acting on a large-span membrane roof consists of Gaussian and non-Gaussian regions in the sense of statistics. Simulation of this stochastic field is presented based on the zero memory nonlinearity (ZMNL) transformation method. A case study is then given to show that the stochastic wind pressure field samples generated by the proposed method can well represent the specified statistical characteristics of data from the wind tunnel experiment. After that, the wind-induced response analysis is conducted on a membrane roof structure using the Gaussian/non-Gaussian composed wind pressure field samples generated by the proposed method and the Gaussian samples by the traditional method, respectively. Results indicate that response values of some components of the structure induced by the Gaussian samples are lower than those by the Gaussian/non-Gaussian composed wind pressure samples, which means the non-Gaussian characteristics of the stochastic wind pressure should not be ignored. Meanwhile, the total gust response factors of the components caused by the wind excitation are given to meet with the requirement of the designers.     

Influence Factors on Wind induced Fatigue Life of Steel Circular Antenna with Asymmetric Brace

Wind induced responses of a single steel circular antenna with an asymmetric brace were computed considering wind speed and direction joint distribution function at location of the structure, and then wind induced fatigue life of the structure was estimated in frequency domain and time domain, respectively. Some parameters, including wind direction, surface roughness, vortex induced resonance and mean wind speed, which would have effects on the wind induced fatigue life of the structure,were discussed. It is found that 1) wind direction has great effects on wind induced fatigue damage, that is, significant fatigue can occur in wind direction of high probability; 2) the more roughness the surface of structure is, the shorter the wind induced fatigue life is; 3) the effects of vortex resonance on wind induced fatigue life should not be neglected; 4) the mean velocity has slight impact on the wind induced fatigue life of the structure.

Wind Tunnel Tests of Long Span Half - through Arch Bridge Section Model

Wind induced vibration is one of the main control factors in the Long span bridge structure design. The wind tunnel tests for measuring the static wind forces on the bridge girder and the section model wind tunnel dynamic testing for Caiyuanba Yangtze River Bridge in Chongqing are introduced in this paper. The wind tunnel testing for measuring static wind forces and vortex- induced vibration test on the arch are introduced taking account of the influence between two arches. The main contents and outcomes of testing are presented. It is indicated that the bridge girder has excellent wind stability and the arch mechanical characters are rather complicated. The drag force on the hind arch varied a lot because of the font arch interference on the wind flow. The drag force on the hind arch will be negative when two arches are close to each other. It increases with the space of two arches. The results of testing will give the data of buffeting and vortex - induced vibration and flutter analysis of the bridge.     

Improved Modal Capacity Spectrum Method for Estimating Seismic Performance of Structures

Performance-based seismic design involves how to confirm inelastic displacement demand of structures under earthquake in concise and reasonable way. Two shortages need to improve in analyzing the elastic-plastic seismic responses of structures if the traditional capacity methods are employed.

The example of analyzing the performance of frame structure is shown which may be a simple and effective method used in engineering. This method has application potential in Performance-based seismic design.     

Junction stiffness analysis and vibration noise prediction of wind power speed-increase gearbox

In order to study the vibration characteristics and radiation noise of wind power speed-increase gearbox, a torsional vibration model of wind power speed-increase gearbox is established based on the analysis of supporting stiffness of bearing and contact stiffness of gear pairs. By solving the vibration differential equation with the help of Matlab, the frequency and corresponding vibration mode are obtained. With taking stiffness excitation, error exaction and meshing impact exaction into account, the dynamic finite element model of speed-increase gearbox is set up, and the dynamic response simulation is carried out. Regarding vibration displacement of the nodes on gearbox surface as boundary condition, an acoustic boundary element model of speed-increase gearbox is built. The surface acoustic pressure of gearbox and the radiation noise of field points are solved by the direct boundary element method. The results show that there is a great difference between torsion frequency and excitation frequency of wind power speed-increase gearbox, and so the resonance doesn't occur. The maximum structural noise and radiation noise mainly appear near the double octave of the gears meshing frequency of high-speed grade.

Based on the principle of interactive analysis,the deformation equation of hybrid structure which contains rigid character value is established using the analysis of the frame - shear wall structure for reference, considering the rigid zone between concrete beam and concrete - tube, the shear deformation of concrete - tube, axial deformation of steel frames and semi - rigid connection between steel columns and concrete beams.
