非连续变形分析方法中人为参数的影响

非连续变形分析方法(DDA) 自创立以来,已在分析不连续体的大变形、大位移的问题中显示了其优越性。但DDA方法需要人为设置一些控制参数,通过一个简单的滑块模型,分别采用不同的时步大小、不同的接触弹簧刚度、并比较相对误差,分析了人为设定的参数对DDA计算结果的影响,指出仅在合理的取值范围内,大时步和大的接触弹簧刚度才能产生较好的计算结果;同时对造成这种影响的原因做了一定的探讨,并建议了参数取值的上下限原则。     

加筋垫层土工织物中应力现场测试分析

如何测定加筋垫层中土工织物中的应力,对于研究土工织物的加筋效果是非常重要的,也是目前工程中急待解决的问题,也是非常困难的课题。结合实际工程,介绍了某防波堤土工织物加筋垫层现场应力测试中的仪器布置、埋设方法和测试结果。分析防波堤堤基土工织物拉应力分布大小、特点以及与堤底地基的沉降关系。实测结果表明,拉应力发挥水平远低于设计拉力值,这对土工织物加筋垫层稳定分析中如何考虑拉应力大小提出了新的问题。

约束冰层温度膨胀力的研究

由水冻结成冰的相变过程中体积会膨胀;冰在升温过程中体积也会膨胀.本文讨论的是后者.海冰与海中固定式结构、防波堤、护岸等相互接触,这些结构物形成了冰的约束边界.当外界环境温度(主要是气温)发生变化时,冰的温度场也发生变化,从而引起冰的应变,产生温度应力,并对结构产生温度膨胀力.冰温度膨胀力要受约束边界的形状、约束体的刚度、冰层的相对厚度、温升率、应变率等多种因素的影响.     

Wave grouping characteristics in nearshore Great Lakes

The recently advanced approach of wavelet transform is applied to the analysis of wave data measured in the nearshore areas of the Great Lakes. The conventional spectrum analysis of wave time series in the frequency domain can be readily generalized to the frequency and time domain using the wavelet transform. The traditional Fourier transform approach has not been able to directly assess the time localized nature of wave groups. With the application of wavelet transformation, the relatively unexplored wave grouping characteristics come to light as the predominant feature of wave processes.     

Simplified analytical solutions for wave interaction with absorbing-type caisson breakwaters

Simplified analytical solutions are presented to model the interaction of linear waves with absorbing-type caisson breakwaters, which possess one, or two, perforated or slotted front faces which result in one, or two, interior fluid regions (chambers). The perforated/slotted surfaces are idealized as thin porous plates. Energy dissipation in the interior fluid region(s) inside the breakwater is modelled through a damping function. Under the assumption of potential flow and linear wave theory a boundary-value problem may then be formulated to describe wave interaction with the idealized structure. A solution to this simplified problem may be obtained by an eigenfunction expansion technique and an explicit analytical expression may be obtained for the reflected wave height. Using the experimental work of previous authors, damping coefficients are determined for both single and double chamber absorbing-type caisson breakwaters. Based on the damping for a single perforated-wall breakwater, a methodology is proposed to enable the estimation of the damping coefficients for a breakwater with two chambers. The theoretical predictions of the reflection coefficients for the two-chamber structures using the present model are compared with those obtained from laboratory experiments by other authors. It is found that the inclusion of the damping in the interior fluid region gives rise to improved agreement between theory and experiment.     

A note on the hydrodynamics of a tail tube buoy

This note presents some analytical results for a tail–tube buoy configuration frequently used in wave energy conversion. The overall approach is based on Falnes and McIver's (Falnes, J., McIver, P., 1985. Surface wave interactions with systems of oscillating bodies and pressure distributions. Applied Ocean Research 7 (4), 225–234) extension to floating oscillating water columns of Evans' (Evans, D.V., 1982. Wave power absorbtion by systems of oscillating surface pressure distributions. Journal of Fluid Mechanics 114, 481–499) theory of oscillating pressure distributions. The diffraction air-flow flux through the tube and the diffraction wave force on the flotation collar are obtained using the formulation of Garrett (1970, 1971) (Garrett, C.J.R., 1970. Bottomless harbours. Journal of Fluid Mechanics 43 (3), 433–449. Garrett, C.J.R., 1971. Wave forces on a circular dock. Journal of Fluid Mechanics 46 (1), 129–139). Results can be used in sizing the tube and collar for efficient energy conversion.     

A Nondestructive Technique for Predicting the In Situ Void Ratio for Marine Sediments

This study tests the hypothesis that the in situ void ratio of surficial marine sediments may be predicted from shear wave velocity-depth data with a reliability equal to that of other methods currently available. Shear wave velocity is fundamentally controlled by the number of grain-to-grain contacts per unit volume of material and by the effective stress across those contacts. In this study, three previously established empirical formulae are used to predict void ratio from velocity-depth data. Field data were acquired along a transect off the northern Californian coast across which water depth increased from 35 to 70 m and seafloor sediment type varied from sand to silty-sand, respectively. A towed seafloor sled device was used to collect shear wave refraction data, and a marked, systematic decrease in velocity was observed along the line, ranging from 35-70 m/s for the coarse, near-shore material to 25-40 m/s for the finer, offshore deposits. Void ratios predicted from these velocities were compared with data measured directly from box-core samples. Of the formulae used for prediction, two agree remarkably well with the control data. Both predicted and control values increase from 0.6-0.8 for the sandy material to 1.1-1.5 for the silty-sand. Thus, this study does not disprove the hypothesis set and demonstrates the potential of field shear wave velocity-depth data as a means of delineating spatial variation in void ratio for surficial marine sediments in a remote, nondestructive manner.     

Wave Diffraction from A Vertical Cylinder with Two Uniform Columns and Porous Outer Wall

—Based on a linear model of the pressure difference between two sides of a porous wall and thefluid velocity inside it.an analytic solution is established for wave diffraction from a cylinder with an outerporous column and an inner solid column.Numerical experiments are carried out to examine the effects ofthe wave force on a porous low-column cylinder and the wave elevations outside and inside the cylinderdue to the porous character of the outer column and the ratio between the radii of the inner and outer col-umns.The numerical results show that the increase in the coefficient of porosity of the outer column of adouble column cylinder will reduce the wave elevation around the cylinder and the wave load on it.The ra-dius of the inner column does not affect too much the wave elevation around the cylinder and the totalforce on the cylinder.
