Multidegrees‐of‐freedom effective force testing: a feasibility study and robust stability assessment

This paper presents a feasibility study of multidegrees‐of‐freedom effective force testing (MDOF‐EFT). The study is intended to facilitate the development of a force feedback controller and investigation of performance as well as robustness of MDOF‐EFT. First, the dynamics of MDOF‐EFT systems are analytically investigated. Analytical transfer functions of the control plant, the valve‐to‐force relations, showed that the plant is dynamically coupled and the natural frequencies of test structures are the transmission zeros of the plant. Using a set of model parameters from a previous study, a case study that includes controller design, numerical simulations and robust stability assessment is performed. A decoupling loop shaping (DLS) controller consisting of a pseudo inverse of the plant and second‐order loop shaping controllers is adopted as the force feedback controller. It is shown that the DLS controller provides a stable control system while successfully decoupling the control loops and compensating the control‐structure interaction. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the DLS controller enables tracking of static and dynamic forces for multiple actuators. Robust stability of MDOF‐EFT with the DLS controller is assessed using Monte Carlo simulation. The stochastic simulation results show that the DLS controller is stable and robust, providing sufficient stability margins for uncertain models with maximum 50% errors in the estimated system parameters. This paper demonstrates that MDOF‐EFT is feasible with the DLS controller and can be implemented in experimental laboratories. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the Seddon speed formula

Abstract

The Seddon speed formula expressed mathematically as c = dQ/dA (or alternatively, as c = (1 + m)u_o; where Q is the discharge, A is the area of cross-section, c is the wave speed, u_o is the normal flow velocity, and m is a dimensionless parameter) is revisited in the context of elasticity and thermodynamics. Its link with the linearized solution of St Venant's equations for wave celerity, which does not appear to have been reported in the hydrological literature, is established. The rating exponent m is shown to be equivalent to the dimensionless relative celerity and is found to be the ratio of two specific heats, viz. c_p and c_v which are the specific heats at constant pressure and volume, respectively. The use of the parameter m as a complex variable helps describe shallow wave characteristics, the damping capacity of a wave, and the mechanism of occurrence of the hysteretic phenomenon. The damping capacity is found to describe the magnitude of wave subsidence, whereas the hysteresis also describes the speed of subsidence.

圆形煤场中桩-网复合地基原体试验研究

在大型圆形煤场中采用桩-网复合地基是火电厂地基方案设计的新思路,该方案不仅要考虑地基土层的强度满足上部荷载的要求,还需要考虑堆载区内土体的变形对环基的影响。通过对圆形煤场中桩-网复合地基原体试验研究,介绍了在大面积堆载下如何进行桩、土及垫层中应力与应变的测试,设计了2套堆载与测试方案,在试验1区铺设了2层土工格栅,而在试验2区未铺设土工格栅。根据在2个试验区所获得的测试成果,研究了大面积堆载对堆载区内外土体变形的影响深度与范围,对比分析了不同高程处垫层与土体的竖向及侧向应力随深度的变化规律,结合堆载区中桩与边桩的桩身轴力变化,计算出上部桩侧土体对桩所产生的负摩阻力,并依据承台顶面附近测得的垫层与土层的应力,计算出桩土分担荷载的比例,以及桩土应力比的大小与变化规律。在此基础上得到土工格栅对大面积堆载区内外土体应变与应力的影响程度,从而可以为大型圆形煤场桩-网复合地基方案的设计与施工提供客观的技术参数与建议。

Experimental researches on reflective and transmitting performances of quarter circular breakwater under regular and irregular waves

A series of regular and irregular wave experiments are conducted to study the reflective and transmitting performances of quarter circular breakwater (QCB) in comparison with those of semi-circular breakwater (SCB). Based on regular wave tests, the reflection and transmission characteristics of QCB are analyzed and a few influencing factors are investigated. Then, the wave energy dissipation as wave passing over the breakwater is discussed based on the hydraulic coefficients of QCB and SCB. In irregular wave experiments, the reflection coefficients of QCB and their spectrums are studied. Finally, the comparisons between the experimental results and numerical simulations for QCB under regular and irregular wave conditions are presented.     

含圆柱形弹性夹杂地基沉降量的解析解

研究各向同性地基中含一个圆柱形弹性夹杂的地基沉陷问题。考虑全场的应力、变形特征,运用复变函数的罗朗级数展开技术,构造合适的应力函数,结合夹杂的边界条件和无穷远的性态,获得了全场复势的解析表达。数值结果显示：由于两相材料剪切模量之比的不同,在某个范围内沉陷量大于基底中点沉陷;在这个范围之外,则小于基底中点沉陷。当夹杂埋深为夹杂半径的5倍以上时,就可以运用所得结果,而不致引起太大误差;含圆形隧洞和刚性夹杂的问题可作为特殊情况得到。     

岩体隧道锚固作用分析

在工程实例中利用数值模拟方法对考虑和不考虑松动圈的岩体,在不同工况下锚杆加固前后的径向、环向应力,径向、环向位移以及锚杆轴向应力进行全面比较分析。研究锚杆和松动圈对隧洞围岩力学性质的影响,结果表明考虑和不考虑松动圈相比,洞室表面径向位移要明显大一些,而且外界载荷越大,二者的差值越大;在锚杆加固作用下环向应力峰值无论是否考虑松动圈,其出现位置都较加固前向洞壁方向移动,同时围岩径向位移在加固前后变化很大,随着外界载荷的增大,径向位移减小越明显。锚杆支护的主要作用之一是控制围岩的变形和发展,通过锚杆加固改善应力环境来提高围岩的稳定性。
