Effect of Microorganisms on Some Engineering Properties of Silt

The microbiology was introduced in foundation treatment. Several Carbonate mineralization microorganisms and polysaccharides viscose microorganisms were screened and the microorganisms No.ATCC 6453,3,polysaccharides viscose microorganisms 5 and 6 were used in silt modification. The engineering properties of silt before and after modification were compared by unconfined compressive strength test and indoor seepage test. The microstructures of silt incorporating different microorganisms were analysed by mean of scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X ray (EDX) analysis. And the modification mechanism of silt has been revealed. These studies indicate that certain engineering properties of silt can be improved by incorporating microorganisms.     

Analysis on Influence of Fault Location and Strength on Deformation and Stress Distribution of Surrounding Rocks of Large Underground Openings

The stability of rock mass project is mainly controlled by the rock mass structure, and faults are the large geological discontinuity plane commonly encountered in rock mass engineering. The stability of surrounding rocks is restricted by mechanical property and location to underground cavern of faults, the detailed studies carried out by analysis of numerical calculation and construction monitoring datum of underground powerhouse of Three Gorges Project show: the distribution of stress and deformation of surrounding rock masses containing a fault are badly deteriorated, the distribution of stress and deformation are obviously different under different natural stress field and position of fault; The influence of friction strength of fault on deformation of surrounding rocks is more obvious when a fault is located near the crown, but the cohesion is more when wall nearby, and the influence is more distinct with side pressure coefficient increases.     

Theoretical Analysis and Testing of Ground Treatment Using an Expansive Method in Very Thick Collapsible Loess

Through technological research of foundation treatments in the collapsible loess areas, we recommend a method of treating foundations in collapsible loess with quicklime piles. We set forth the basic principle of this expansive method. When a very thick foundation in collapsible loess is treated, the computational formula for the volume of expanding material in a quicklime pile is deduced based on cavity expansion theory. This theory is applied to engineering practice. Physical and mechanical properties of the compacted soil are tested. The result shows that the collapsibility of a foundation in loess has been eliminated, its physico mechanical indexes have been improved, and the soil compressibility and the modulus of compressibility also increase remarkably, demonstrating the correctness of the computation theory. The feasibility of the expansive method for very thick collapsible loess areas is further established.     

Quantitative Analysis of Influencing Factors for Settlement Generation

In the research of settlement renovation nowadays, because of the lack of a quantitative analysis, it was difficult to get a scientific, reasonable, systemic quantitative conclusion. This paper is presented to build a scientific,systemic and quantitative analysis method through which many influence factors invloved in the research of settlement, such as physical environment, social behavior and relatoins among these factors were quantitatively analyzed to get a system with generative simulation in the whole and detailed quantitative analysis for each individual factor, and to make the communication and judgement of the result easy.      

Discussion on Calculation Pattern of Concrete Filled Steel Tube with Dumbbell shaped Section

Based on the structural feature of dumbbell shaped section of concrete filled steel tube (CFST), a combined spatial beam element is presented. In this structure, two steel tubes, two core concretes, one web and the concrete in web cavity are firstly considered as general spatial beam elements, then they are assembled into a spatial combined beam element according to the plane hypothesis and transformation matrix formed from master and slave nodes. A FORTRAN program for CFST arch with dumbbell shaped section has been developed, and the numerical example shows that the steel tubes and core concretes bear mainly the axial forces with small moments, thus, a modified formula for lattice column method to calculate axial forces of the upper and lower limbs of CFST with dumbbell shaped section is deduced. Comparison of the results from the modified formula with those from an example indicates that the modified formula gives relatively accurate results.      

Dynamic analysis and optimization of gear trains in a megawatt level wind turbine

Through coupling vibration analysis of the transmission system of a 1.5 MW wind turbine gearbox, a torsional vibration model of a gear drive system in wind turbines is established. The fourth order Runge Kutta integration method is applied to calculate the dynamic response of a gear system caused by wind loads, time varying meshing stiffness, and system damping. The harmonic balance method is used to find the analytic solution. Based on the solution, a mathematical model for optimum gear system design is established. The model aims at minimizing the vibration acceleration of the planet gear and the total mass of the gear transmission system. The optimization toolbox in MATLAB program is adopted to obtain the optimal solution. A calculated example shows that the primary natural frequency of the gear system has been raised, the dynamic properties of the gear train have been improved remarkably, and the total mass of the gear train has been decreased.     

Contact analysis of a new style planetary reducer with a double crank and internal gear board

To address the problems of low carrying capacity and short life of bearings in current ring reducers, a new type of ring reducer is proposed which consists of a two stepped transmission. One is a planetary transmission, and the other is an N type planetary transmission with a low tooth number difference. Based on the analysis of structural features, the transmission principle, and a transmission load situation, a contact finite element model of the new type of ring reducer is set up, and the stress value and the actual pairs of meshing teeth are derived by calculation. Based on gear modification research theory, the second stage transmission gear pairs of the new reducer are modified on its teeth profiles. Results demonstrate that the load capacity of transmission gear pairs have been enhanced greatly.     

Dynamic characteristic analysis of an all terrain vehicle body

The body is a key part of all terrain vehicles (ATV). Its dynamic characteristics greatly effect the vibration of the ATV assembly. Simulation and experimental methods are combined to analyze ATV body vibration characteristics. A computer aided design(CAD) model is built using UG4.0. A finite element method(FEM) model of an ATV body and a body with an engine are created using Hypermesh. The FEM model is imported to Msc.Nastran to calculate the free mode. The simulation model is verified by the experimental modal result. The results indicate that after the frame with engine, the first bending mode increases due to the engine increasing the body stiffness, while the first torsion mode decreases due to the engine mass. The effects on the dynamic response of the road and engine excitation are analyzed respectively. Vibration characteristic improvement methods and suggestions regarding the body are provided.
