Numerical study of an oscillating smaller cylinder in the wake of an upstream larger cylinder

A numerical study of flow around two tandem cylinders with unequal diameters was carried out. The upstream larger cylinder was fixed and the downstream smaller cylinder was allowed to oscillate in the transverse direction only. Comparisons of the experimental and numerical results were made to investigate the effects of the gap ratio on the maximum vibration amplitude and vortex shedding frequency. The results showed that the vibration response of the smaller cylinder was significantly affected by the presence of the upstream larger cylinder, and resulted in greatly reduced vibration amplitudes. With an increasing gap ratio, the vibration amplitude increased. However, the magnitude was lower than that corresponding to a single cylinder (with the same diameter as that of the downstream smaller cylinder) under the same flow conditions.

地下洞室群随机地震响应研究中传递函数的应用探讨

在证明随机响应的统计参数可以用传递函数进行直接表达的前提下,将传递函数引入地下洞室群随机地震响应研究中,对白鹤滩水电工程13#机组剖面地下洞群进行了随机地震响应分析,并对之进行了地震动力可靠度的探讨。结果表明：较之常规方法,基于传递函数的方法除可得到洞室群的随机地震响应以外,还可同时得到洞室群的地震响应频谱特性,并可以直接利用传递函数得到确定性地震动输入下洞室群的响应值进行验证,显示对问题的研究具有更加深刻的优势;将所得到的随机地震响应结果与基于传递函数的确定性估算结果,与实际时程计算得到的确定性结果比较,吻合良好;首次采用超越破坏理论对地下洞室群进行地震动力可靠度分析的可行性,为地下工程抗震可靠度计算中如何以动力方式考虑地震荷载的随机性提供了一些新思路。

空沟对列车运行引起的地基振动隔振效果研究

为研究空沟对高速列车引起地基振动的隔振效果,在已有研究基础上改进出一种新的解析研究模型。模型中首次运用了饱和半空间模型来研究地基上隔振沟对高速列车的隔振效果;隔振沟则通过在饱和半空间土体上设置3个合适宽度、截面为矩形的弹性层来模拟;中间矩形弹性层为路堤,路堤上方放置了枕木与轨道。枕木与轨道分别通过纵向异性Kirchhoff薄板与Euler梁来模拟,饱和土地基采用Biot多孔饱和介质理论来描述。控制方程通过傅立叶变换与傅立叶级数展开,在变换域中进行求解。研究表明,随着列车运行速度的提高,空沟的隔振效果明显提高;饱和土体固-液相的耦合作用对隔振沟的隔振效果的影响明显,尤其当列车运行速度超过土体表面Rayleigh波速时,随着土体渗透系数的增加,空沟隔振效果显著降低。此外,列车运行速度超过土体表面波速时,饱和土地基上空沟的隔振效果明显优于相应单相弹性地基上空沟的隔振效果。

在城市浅埋地铁爆破开挖中,经常遇到地下管网、涵洞等构筑物,而爆破地震效应对其影响范围和程度的正确评价就显得尤为重要。本文以长沙地铁爆破开挖为例,以现场实测数据为基础,采用有限单元法,对爆破振动下大直径混凝土污水管道的动力响应、变形和动应力等进行了计算,评价了爆破地震对管道的安全影响。研究表明:管道在控制爆破作用下是偏于安全的;爆心距是影响管道受到爆炸作用力影响大小的最主要因素;对于以实测数据为基础,采用加速度激励的时程分析方法以爆破振动对埋地管道的影响进行评价,是一种可行且较为精确的方法。     

非饱和土中端承桩水平振动特性研究

针对非饱和土中桩的水平稳态振动问题,采用三相多孔介质波动方程,考虑固、液、气三相材料间的惯性和黏性耦合效应以及基质吸力的影响,通过Helmholtz矢量分解及分离变量法解耦波动方程,并将基桩等效为能描述其剪切变形和转动惯性效应的铁摩辛柯（Timoshenko）梁模型,采用Novak三维连续介质模型对非饱和土中端承桩的稳态水平振动进行了理论推导,获得了桩顶水平频域响应解析解,讨论了饱和度对土层和桩顶阻抗的影响以及桩身位移、内力沿深度的分布规律。结果表明,随着土体饱和度的升高,土层复阻抗和桩顶动力阻抗增大,桩身位移和内力则相应地减小;饱和度,包括渗透系数在内的影响仅在土体接近准饱和时才得以发挥;频率较低时,短桩拥有较大的刚度因子。桩长越长,阻抗因子越大,而共振频率越低。当长径比超过10时,桩顶阻抗不再随长径比的增加而改变。     

Field experiment and numerical study on active vibration isolation by horizontal blocks in layered ground under vertical loading

In this paper, a series of field experiments were carried out to investigate the active vibration isolation for a surface foundation using horizontal wave impedance block (WIB) in a multilayered ground under vertical excitations. The velocity amplitude of ground vibration was measured and the root-mean-square (RMS) velocity is used to evaluate the vibration mitigation effect of the WIB. The influences of the size, the embedded depth and the shear modulus of the WIB on the vibration mitigation were also systematically examined under different loading conditions. The experimental results convincingly indicate that WIB is effective to reduce the ground vibration, especially at high excitation frequencies. The vibration mitigation effect of the WIB would be improved when its size and shear modulus increase or the embedded depth decreases. The results also showed that the WIB may amplify rather than reduce the ground vibration when its shear modulus is smaller or the embedded depth is larger than a threshold value. Meanwhile, an improved 3D semi-analytical boundary element method (BEM) combined with a thin layer method (TLM) was proposed to account for the rectangular shape of the used WIB and the laminated characteristics of the actual ground condition in analyzing the vibration mitigation of machine foundations. Comparisons between the field experiments and the numerical analyses were also made to validate the proposed BEM.

随着中国汽车工业的发展,大量废旧轮胎带来的"黑色污染"问题日益显著。提出一种采用废旧轮胎柱(Scrap tire columns,STC)的加筋土结构,并初步探究其作为基础减隔振材料的可行性。通过室内水平循环剪切试验和竖向激振试验研究STC加筋砂(STCRS)的水平循环剪切和竖向激振特性。结果表明,最大剪应变为1%时STCRS的等效阻尼比未加筋前增加约10%,等效动剪切模量减小20%~25%,水平向减振性能得以提高;STCRS的竖向加速度衰减呈现出速度快、幅值大的特点,竖向减振效果较未加筋砂显著提高。STC加筋砂作为基础减振材料是可行的,且为原形废旧轮胎的资源化利用提供新思路。     

Optimum design and experimental study of multiple tuned mass dampers with limited stroke

This paper develops a two‐stage optimum design procedure for multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) to reduce structural dynamic responses with the limitation of MTMD's stroke. A new performance index, which is a linear combination of structural response ratio and MTMD stroke ratio by a weighting factor α, is proposed; α is in the range from 0 to 1.0. The larger the α, the more important the stroke. The case of α=1.0 indicates that MTMD is locked. The analytical results show that the MTMD's stroke can be significantly suppressed with little sacrifice of structural control effectiveness when an appropriate α is selected. To verify the design algorithm, a 360 kg‐MTMD composed of five TMD units arranged in parallel was fabricated. Shaking table tests of a large‐scale three‐story building with and without the MTMD under earthquake excitations were conducted at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taiwan. The experimental results show that MTMD is not only effective in mitigating the building responses but also is successful in suppressing its stroke. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
