Error Analysis between Relative Motion Solving Method and Absolute Displacement Direct Solving Method

Under multi-support earthquake excitation, the damping is proportional to the relative velocity in relative motion method, While the damping is proportional to the absolute velocity in method of direct solving absolute displacement, and the damping assuming difference may cause the calculation errors on structural responses. The structural response errors of the dynamic component of power spectral density between the two solving methods are derived by random vibration theoretical analysis in Rayleigh damping model, which include damping ratio and the ratio between excitation frequency and fundamental frequency of the structures. Based on probability theory, the variation errors of dynamic component response between the two solving methods are also derived by theoretical analysis, and some numerical examples are provided to verify the error analysis. At last, it is pointed out that the calculation errors between the two solving methods decrease with damping ratio, and it is negligible when the damping ratio of structure is less than 5%.     

Analysis of Low frequency Noise of Bridge Considering the Vibration of Bridge Deck

Under the dynamic load of vehicle, the bridge will vibrate and radiate low frequency noise which is harmful to human health. A method for predicting the low frequency noise is proposed based on the analysis of vibration of bridge deck. The prediction includes the analysis of vehicle bridge coupling vibration considering the bridge deck and the analysis of sound radiation and propagation in the air. By taking a bridge with low frequency noise as example, the vibration and sound radiation of the bridge are analyzed respectively by the current method and the previous method based on the grillage model. The results show that the prediction based on the vibration of bridge deck is more accurate. Furthermore, the measures to reduce the noise of bridge are explored, and the results indicate that a smoother road surface leads to lower noise. But when the condition of road surface is up to the extremely good standard defined by ISO, the effect of reducing the roughness of surface is not significant. Also, strengthening the crossbeam in the bridgehead is a simple and effective way to reduce the low frequency noise of bridge.

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.     

Seismic Performance and Failure Process of Long-Span Bridge With High Piers

Based on OpenSEES platform, elastic-plastic structural model of long-span bridge with high piers is established. This paper utilizes time-history analysis method to analyze seismic responses of bridge under consistent or multi-support seismic excitation. Seismic performances and failure process for bridge with high piers are studied. Analysis results show that characteristics of seismic excitation and the way of excitation input have some effect on failure sequence and the occurrence or location of plastic hinge for bridge piers. The failure mode for high piers assumes bending failure, and the failure for top of pier is frequently prior to that of pier bottom, which should be paid enough attention.     

Relations between pore-space and hydraulic properties in compacted beds of silty-loam aggregates

The aim of this study was to better understand features of the hydrodynamics of aggregated soil from experiments conducted on repacked soil samples. In the laboratory, aggregates 2 to 3 mm in diameter were prepared using a silty-loam material. These aggregates were wet to a water content close to their air-entry point value, and compacted to a predetermined bulk density. Two sets of samples were studied, with mean bulk density ranging between 1.0 and 1.6 Mg·m⁻³. Aggregates were extracted from samples of a first set, and their bulk density and water retention curve were determined. Water retention curve and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of samples of a second set were determined using an instantaneous profile method. Experimental results were interpreted with respect to a functional pore-space classification. The water retention properties of the aggregates extracted from the samples were different, although differences in porosity between such aggregates were sometime too small to be measured. This was explained by a narrowing in the constrictions of intra-aggregate pores induced by compaction, even when this compaction was small. Discontinuities in the shape of the hydraulic properties of a loosely-compacted bed of aggregates were found. This was consistent with an independent desaturation of the inter- and intra-aggregate pores. However, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the loosely-compacted sample was affected by a small amount of water, which formed menisci between the aggregates close to the air entry point value of the aggregates. Soil hydraulic conductivity increased with the degree of compaction for a range of massbased water contents dryer than the water content at the air-entry point value of the aggregates. The influence of the contact surface between the aggregates on the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the samples was quantified, by assuming that water flows only through the aggregates. These experimental results are related to aspects of soil hydrodynamics, which are difficult to study in situ and difficult to predict with the existing models for the soil hydraulic properties.

Dynamic signatures method for analysis of vehicle bridge resonance

The dynamic behavior of railway bridges (dynamic deflection and acceleration) is one of the running safety control indices for high speed trains. Therefore, the dynamic behavior of railway bridges is studied based on the concept of the dynamic signatures of the train and the bridge. By simplifying the train excitation as a series of moving concentrated forces, the mathematical expressions of the dynamic signatures of the train are obtained through theoretical derivations, and then a method is presented for calculating the resonance speed of trains and the maximum vertical acceleration of the bridge. With this method, the dynamic responses of the simple supported bridge can be calculated quickly. The feasibility of this method is validated through some examples, in which the resonance mechanism of train bridge system and the influencing factors are investigated. In addition, the effect of high frequency components to the bridge acceleration is also analyzed.     

Seismic Response Analysis of Transmission Tower-line System under Multi-component Ground Motion Excitations

Seismic responses of power transmission tower-line system under multi-component excitations were analyzed by numerical simulation. A three-dimensional finite element model of transmission tower-line coupled system considering the geometric nonlinearity of transmission line was established. Twelve seismic records of different soil types were selected based on Code for Design of Seismic of Electrical Installations. Seismic responses of power transmission tower-line system under single component, two horizontal component and multi-component excitations were investigated using nonlinear time history analysis method, respectively. The results show that the responses of transmission tower-line system under multi-component excitations are significantly larger than those under single component excitation only, especially for considering vertical ground motion excitation only, and neglecting multiple nature of ground motion in analysis will underestimate the responses of the structure. To obtain an accurate seismic response and a better seismic design of transmission tower-line system, multi-component ground motion inputs need to be considered. The results provide reference for seismic design of transmission line practical engineering.

To explore the vibrating frequencies and rational impact factors of multi-span skew bridge, the recursive algorithm of vibrating frequency and finite element formulations of static and dynamic analysis are established for uniform section multi-span continuous skew bridge. The first five order frequency changes of equal-span multi-span continuous skew bridge and unequal-span multi-span skew bridge are compared. The interaction of vehicle-bridge system for two-span skew bridge is analyzed. The history curves for deflection and moment of middle-span are presented. The influence of obliquity on dynamic deflection and dynamic moment as well as the influence of vehicle velocity and obliquity on impact factors of deflection and moment are investigated. Results show that the fundamental frequency of multi-span skew bridge is identical to that of single span skew bridge. The higher order frequencies of single span skew bridge are distributed in frequencies of multi-span skew bridge, which mix other vibrating frequencies. The more the span number is, the more the other vibrating frequencies mingle. Obliquity has an important influence on dynamical characteristics of skew bridge. Impact effects of vehicle have no harmonious changing rule with vehicle velocity and obliquity. The impact factors of deflection and moment are different for skew bridge.
