Performance of a base isolator with shape memory alloy bars

A new and innovative base isolation device is introduced in this paper based on extensive research carried out by the authors and their co-workers. A prototype of the device was built and experimentally tested on the shaking table. The new base isolation device consists of two disks, one vertical cylinder with an upper enlargement sustained by three horizontal cantilevers, and at least three inclined shape memory alloy (SMA) bars. The role of the SMA bars is to limit the relative motion between the base and the superstructure, to dissipate energy by their super-elastic constitutive law and to guarantee the re-centring of the device. To verify the expected performance, a prototype was built and tested under sinusoidal waves of displacement of increasing frequency with different amplitudes. It is shown that the main feature of the proposed base isolation device is that for cyclic loading, the super-elastic behavior of the alloy results in wide load-displacement loops, where a large amount of energy is dissipated.     

地埋管地源热泵工程运行换热区温度场变化特征分析

地埋管地源热泵工程在发挥供暖、制冷等作用的同时,埋管区地层温度场也发生了复杂的结构性变化,陕西地区对地下岩土体温度场影响机制研究不够深入,对热泵工程可持续利用的调控带来困难。本文依托陕西省浅层地热能开发利用示范研究基地,分析地源热泵系统稳定运行2 a及疫情影响下停止运行1a地埋管换热区的温度监测数据,研究地埋管换热区地层温度的垂向深度及平面展布特征。结果显示：系统稳定运行2 a,换热区各区域地温在时间尺度上受地埋管换热器吸排热量的影响呈波状变化,并且相较于环境温度变化表现出不同的时滞性,距离换热器越远时滞性越强;在地埋管长度以内,随着深度增加,温度波动减小;在水平向,距离地埋管越远温度波动越小,单根换热器对地温的影响半径为3.2～3.9 m;系统稳定运行2 a地埋管换热器吸排热量基本平衡,未造成地质体冷热堆积,停止运行1 a,由于吸排热量不均衡造成了地质体存在冷堆积,调控运行热泵系统可使冷堆积现象消失。该文旨在系统地分析关中盆地地源热泵工程对地温场的影响机制特征,为地源热泵平稳运行提供基础数据支持,为区域地热资源的科学、长期开发提供理论依据。     

一种非平稳噪声背景下的线谱相干检测方法

舰艇目标航行时往往向水中辐射大量线状谱结构的声波信号,线谱信号检测对舰艇目标的被动探测至关重要.实际水下环境噪声常表现为时域非平稳噪声,常规离散傅里叶变换类线谱检测方法时域积分时,不可避免会引入非平稳噪声背景中出现的短时强干扰噪声,使积分结果中线谱信噪比大幅降低,线谱检测性能急剧恶化.为解决上述问题,对分段离散傅里叶变...     

库岸边坡倾角及水位变化对红土型库岸稳定性影响研究

水库库岸失稳对水库安全运行有重大影响。采用土工试验和干湿循环试验,结合数值计算及理论分析,研究红土型库岸边坡倾角和库水位升降与库岸稳定性的关系。结果表明:(1)在一定初始干密度条件下,红土抗剪强度随水位升降循环次数增加而非线性减小,且在水位升降循环约10次时趋于稳定。(2)在一定水位升降速率、升降幅度和升降循环次数条件下,红土型库岸稳定安全系数随库岸边坡倾角的增加总体上呈减小的趋势,且在边坡倾角为50°左右存在稳定安全系数极小值。(3)在一定水位升降循环次数条件下,水位上升到坡高的60%左右为上升阶段的相对危险区域,且水位上升速率对库岸稳定安全系数影响很小;水位下降至坡高的70%左右为库水位下降阶段的相对危险区域,且水位下降速率越大,库岸稳定安全系数越小。(4)针对一定初始干密度,库岸稳定安全系数先随水位升降循环次数的增加而减小,但在水位升降循环次数约10次后逐渐趋于稳定。库岸岩土体性质及库岸边坡倾角、水位变化都会对库岸稳定产生影响。     

2015年台风“彩虹”过境后下山冷急流引起的南海北部海域异常海面降温

This study deals with a unusual cooling event after Typhoon Mujigea passed over the northern South China Sea(SCS) in October 2015. We analyze the satellite sea surface temperature(SST) time series from October 3 to 18,2015 and find that the cooling process in the coastal ocean had two different stages. The first stage occurred immediately after typhoon passage on October 3, and reached a maximum SST drop of –2℃ on October 7 as the usual cold wake after typhoon. The second stage or the unusual extended cooling event occurred after 7d of the typhoon passage, and lasted for 5d from October 10 to 15. The maximum SST cooling was –4℃ and occurred after 12d of typhoon passage. The mechanism analysis results indicate that after landing and moving northwestward to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau(YGP), Typhoon Mujigea(2015) met the westerly wind front on October 5. The lowpressure and positive-vorticity disturbances to the front triggered meridional air flow and low-pressure trough,thus induced a katabatic cold jet downward from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(QTP) passing through the YGP to the northwestern SCS. The second cooling reached the maximum SST drop 4d later after the maximum air temperature drop of –9℃ on October 11. The simultaneous air temperature and SST observations at three coastal stations reveal that it is this katabatic cold jet intrusion to lead the unusual SST cooling event.     

光伏电场对地表温度的影响分析

以甘肃省金昌市金川区西坡光伏电场为例,利用多景Landsat系列影像,采用辐射传输方程法(radiative transfer equation,RTE),对光伏电场建设前后的地表温度进行了反演,提取电场不同缓冲区范围内的地表温度均值。研究结果表明,光伏电场会对占地范围和不同缓冲区范围内的地表温度产生降温的作用。其占地区域降温幅度为2.12 K,100 m缓冲区降温幅度为0.94 K,随着距离的增加这种影响逐渐减弱,400 m后影响会变得十分微弱,研究结果为客观地评价光伏电场对环境的影响提供借鉴。     

青藏高原高寒草地植被覆盖度变化及其环境影响因子研究

青藏高原作为长江、黄河、雅鲁藏布江和恒河等河流的发源地与水源供给地,对中国及周边国家和地区的经济发展、生态平衡有着重要的社会、经济和生态意义。青藏高原在过去几十年里经历了显著的气候变暖,且增温幅度明显高于同纬度其他地区。气候变暖必然导致该地区的多年冻土与生态系统发生显著变化,进而对当地的生态环境、水文过程产生较大影响。为了更深入地认识青藏高原高寒草地的变化过程及其环境影响因子,本研究以野外实测数据、遥感数据、冻土分布数据、土壤水热以及气温降水资料为基础,分析了青藏高原高寒草地植被覆盖度变化的空间分布特征,并进一步探讨了环境因子在其变化过程中的作用,绘制了青藏高原高寒草地植被生长限制因子的空间分布图。     

连续降温对大菱鲆成鱼代谢机能的影响

为了探寻连续降温对大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)成鱼血清、肝脏及肌肉能量代谢等指标的影响,作者将大菱鲆从正常养殖水温18℃快速、连续降温至1℃,并在18℃、13℃、8℃、5℃、3℃和1℃共计6个温度点取血采样,分别测定血清中的总蛋白(TP)、白蛋白(ALB)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、甘油三酯(TG)、总胆固醇(TC)、血糖(GLU)以及肝脏中的糖原和肌肉中的乳酸等指标。结果发现,随着温度降低,大菱鲆的血清TP浓度呈先下降后升高的趋势,各实验组与对照组无显著差异(P0.05),但在13℃和3℃之间出现显著性差异(P0.05);血清ALB浓度则呈现升高趋势,在3℃时显著高于1℃(P0.05);血清TC浓度呈现升高趋势,且3℃时显著高于18℃(P0.05);GLU浓度呈先降低后升高趋势,且8℃、5℃、3℃实验组浓度显著高于其余实验组(P0.05);尿素浓度呈先降低后升高再降低趋势,且8℃时显著高于1℃(P0.05);肝糖原浓度呈先降低后升高趋势,且8、5、3℃实验组浓度显著高于其余实验组(P0.05);肌肉中乳酸含量呈先升高后降低趋势,且5℃时显著高于18℃(P0.05);其余指标则无显著性差异(P0.05)。结果表明:当温度在18~8℃时,降温对大菱鲆体内代谢影响不大;当温度降到8~3℃时,大菱鲆体内开始出现应激反应;当温度继续降低至1℃时,大菱鲆体内的各种代谢基本处于停滞状态。综合分析各温度下的代谢指标得出结论,3~1℃温度区间与大菱鲆的生态冰温点比较接近,可以在此温度区间附近进一步进行无水保活的探索,在保证大菱鲆无水运输可行性的基础上优化经济成本。     

基于回归模型的热带气旋条件下的海表降温参数化方案设计

Combining a linear regression and a temperature budget formula, a multivariate regression model is proposed to parameterize and estimate sea surface temperature(SST) cooling induced by tropical cyclones(TCs). Three major dynamic and thermodynamic processes governing the TC-induced SST cooling(SSTC), vertical mixing, upwelling and heat flux, are parameterized empirically using a combination of multiple atmospheric and oceanic variables:sea surface height(SSH), wind speed, wind curl, TC translation speed and surface net heat flux. The regression model fits reasonably well with 10-year statistical observations/reanalysis data obtained from 100 selected TCs in the northwestern Pacific during 2001–2010, with an averaged fitting error of 0.07 and a mean absolute error of 0.72°C between diagnostic and observed SST cooling. The results reveal that the vertical mixing is overall the pre dominant process producing ocean SST cooling, accounting for 55% of the total cooling. The upwelling accounts for 18% of the total cooling and its maximum occurs near the TC center, associated with TC-induced Ekman pumping. The surface heat flux accounts for 26% of the total cooling, and its contribution increases towards the tropics and the continental shelf. The ocean thermal structures, represented by the SSH in the regression model,plays an important role in modulating the SST cooling pattern. The concept of the regression model can be applicable in TC weather prediction models to improve SST parameterization schemes.
