Using the applied element method for modelling calcium silicate brick masonry subjected to in‐plane cyclic loading

The response of calcium silicate unreinforced masonry construction to horizontal cyclic loading has recently become the focus of experimental and numerical research, given its extensive use in some areas of the world that are now exposed to induced earthquakes (eg, north of the Netherlands). To assess the seismic behaviour of such construction, a relatively wide range of modelling methodologies are available, amongst which the discrete elements approach, which takes into account the intrinsic heterogeneity of a brick‐mortar assembly, can probably be deemed as the most appropriate computational procedure. On the other hand, however, since discrete elements numerical methods are based on a discontinuum domain, often they are not able to model every stage of the structural response adequately, and because of the high computational burden required, the analysis scale should be chosen carefully. The applied element method is a relatively recent addition to the discrete elements family, with a high potential for overcoming the aforementioned limitations or difficulties. Initially conceived to model blast events and concrete structures, its use in the earthquake engineering field is, of late, increasing noticeably. In this paper, the use of the applied element method to model the in‐plane cyclic response of calcium silicate masonry walls is discussed and scrutinised, also through the comparison with experimental results of in‐plane cyclic shear‐compression tests on unreinforced masonry walls.     

龙卷风的漏斗结构理论

龙卷风是大气中风速和垂直速度极大的小尺度系统.本文用气压梯度力、惯性离心力、黏性力三力平衡的柱坐标(r,θ,z)下的大气动力和热力学方程组,求龙卷风的三维速度场(vr,vθ,vz),从理论上绘制出龙卷风的三维漏斗型结构.充分说明龙卷风由涡旋流和急流这两种流叠加而成,涡旋流是由惯性离心力造成的,急流是由水平辐合辐散而引起的强对流.龙卷风是在极端不稳定的大气层结中形成的.     

沪宁高速公路一次冬季浓雾过程的数值模拟分析

利用由多个美国研究部门及大学的共同参与研发的新一代中尺度预报模式和同化系统——WRF（Weather Research Forecast）模式,对2006年12月24—27日沪宁高速公路及其周边地区出现的一次罕见的持续性大雾过程进行数值模拟研究。结果表明,此次大雾过程属于较典型的平流雾,其生成和维持的主要原因是大气层结稳定、系统的下沉运动、充足的水汽;同时也有辐射作用,地面的大气长波辐射冷却是雾维持的重要因素。大范围下沉运动使中低层大气增温与地面辐射降温配合,形成深厚的逆温层,对大雾长时间维持起决定性作用。所以这是一次以平流雾为主伴随辐射雾的过程。27日14时后干冷空气南下才使大雾消散。
