Multiple Tuned Mass Damper Based Vibration Mitigation of Offshore Wind Turbine Considering Soil-Structure Interaction

The dynamics of jacket supported offshore wind turbine (OWT) in earthquake environment is one of the progressing focuses in the renewable energy field. Soil-structure interaction (SSI) is a fundamental principle to analyze stability and safety of the structure. This study focuses on the performance of the multiple tuned mass damper (MTMD) in minimizing the dynamic responses of the structures objected to seismic loads combined with static wind and wave loads. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied to design the MTMD parameters. The analyses have been performed under two different boundary conditions: fixed base (without SSI) and flexible base (with SSI). Two vibration modes of the structure have been suppressed by multi-mode vibration control principle in both cases. The effectiveness of the MTMD in reducing the dynamic response of the structure is presented. The dynamic SSI plays an important role in the seismic behavior of the jacket supported OWT, especially resting on the soft soil deposit. Finally, it shows that excluding the SSI effect could be the reason of overestimating the MTMD performance.     

Effect of compressible parameters on vertical vibration of an elastic pile in multilayered poroelastic media

This paper mainly investigates the influences of compressible parameters on the vertical vibration of a pile embedded in layered poroelastic soil media. The pile is treated as a 1D elastic bar by the finite element method, and fundamental solutions for the layered poroelastic soils due to a vertical dynamic load are obtained by the analytical layer element method. Based on the compatibility conditions, the pile-soil dynamic interaction problem is solved. The numerical scheme has been compiled into a Fortran program for numerical calculation. Influences of the pile-soil stiffness ratio, compressible parameters, vibration frequency and the soil stratification are discussed.

Elasto-plastic long-term behavior of granular soils: Modelling and experimental validation

Repeated small amplitude dynamic loading of the soil in the vicinity of buildings, as arising from traffic or construction activities, may cause differential foundation settlements and structural damage. In this paper, an accumulation model for settlements due to vibrations at small strain levels in granular non-cohesive soils is proposed. It is assumed that the dynamic part of the stresses is small with respect to the static part. As plastic deformation in the soil is only observed after a considerable amount of dynamic loading cycles, only the accumulation of the average plastic deformation is considered. The model accounts for the dependency of the deformation on the stress state, the void ratio, and the dynamic loading amplitude. The model is calibrated for homogeneous fine grained sands with the aid of cyclic triaxial test results.

干砂土高频振动下压缩变形特性试验研究

在自行改装高频振动系统基础上,通过对干砂土进行高频振动压缩室内试验,研究了干砂土变形特性。试验研究表明:在18~27 Hz的频率范围内,塑性压缩变形随着频率的增加而减少速度很快;在27~37 Hz的频率范围内,塑性压缩变形随着频率的增加而减少速度减缓。重点分析了相对密实度、动应力幅值等因素对高频振动下频率与塑性压缩变形之间关系的影响。分析结果表明,虽然在频率较低时,这2个因素对塑性压缩变形影响很大,在高频时,塑性压缩变形对这2个因素不敏感;但是它们并不会改变频率与塑性压缩变形关系曲线变化的趋势。     

Time domain identification of hybrid base isolation systems using free vibration tests

A procedure for the dynamic identification of the physical parameters of coupled base isolation systems is developed in the time domain. The isolation systems considered include high damping rubber bearings (HDRB) and low friction sliding bearings (LFSB). A bi‐linear hysteretic model is used alone or in parallel with a viscous damper to describe the behavior of the HDRB system, while a constant Coulomb friction device is used to model the LFSB system. After deriving the analytical dynamical solution for the coupled system under an imposed initial displacement, this is used in combination with the least‐squares method and an iterative procedure to identify the physical parameters of a given base isolation system belonging to the class described by the models considered. Performance and limitations of the proposed procedure are highlighted by numerical applications. The procedure is then applied to a real base isolation system using data from static and dynamic tests performed on a building at Solarino. The results of the proposed identification procedure have been compared to available laboratory data and the agreement is within ±10%. However, the need for improvement both in models and testing procedures also emerges from the numerical applications and results obtained. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
