Control strategies and experimental verifications of the electromagnetic mass damper system for structural vibration control

The electromagnetic mass damper （EMD） control system, as an innovative active control system to reduce structural vibration, offers many advantages over traditional active mass driver/damper （AMD） control systems. In this paper, studies of several EMD control strategies and bench-scale shaking table tests of a two-story model structure are described. First, two structural models corresponding to uncontrolled and Zeroed cases are developed, and parameters of these models are validated through sinusoidal sweep tests to provide a basis for establishing an accurate mathematical model for further studies. Then, a simplified control strategy for the EMD system based on the pole assignment control algorithm is proposed. Moreover, ideal pole locations are derived and validated through a series of shaking table tests. Finally, three benchmark earthquake ground motions and sinusoidal sweep waves are imposed onto the structure to investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of using this type of innovative active control system for structural vibration control. In addition, the robustness of the EMD system is examined. The test results show that the EMD system is an effective and robust system for the control of structural vibrations.     

Coupling land use allocation models with raster GIS

As geographic information systems (GIS) have moved from information storage and retrieval operations towards more decision support functions, there is a need for more integration of spatial analytical modules that can assist in locational decisions. This paper presents a methodology for coupling land use allocation models with a raster GIS. For raster systems, the integration of any decision module has been limited by the size of raster datasets that may contain hundreds of thousands of pixels. Therefore, decision heuristics have been used rather than exact methods such as mathematical programming models. For the problem of land use allocation, the special structure of the generalized assignment problem is used here to handle large scale datasets. The advantage of the mathematical programming approach is the additional information associated with the dual variables and opportunity costs that can be used in subsequent sensitivity analyses.

山地灾害研究的发展态势与任务

泥石流、滑坡等山地灾害已成为世界各国十分关注的自然灾害问题。据最近几年的国际学术会议,泥石流、滑坡研究的前沿领域是：泥石流、滑坡活动的地带性与全球气候变化的规律;泥石流、滑坡起动机理、动力学模型;泥石流、滑坡等山地灾害风险分析、发生时间预报;成灾机理与减灾防灾关键技术。国内研究较晚,但发展很快。经过近50 a的研究,涉及上述诸多研究颁域。但研究不深,还存在不少差距。据国内外研究态势,针对山地所实际,提出了在泥石流、滑坡理论创新和防治关键技术等研究方面12条任务。

基于合理权重赋值方法选择的多因素综合评价模型——以JCR中70种人文地理期刊为例

针对地理学多因素综合评价中较少探讨指标权重赋值方法的选择,以及少有研究涉及人文地理期刊的多因素综合评价,本文设计了基于合理权重赋值方法选择的多因素综合评价模型,并将其应用于科学网数据库内的“期刊引证报告（JCR）”中分类为人文地理类的70种人文地理期刊的综合评价。该模型针对7种指标权重客观赋值方法,采用“异同比较”,分析不同方法在不同参数设置下和聚类与否情况下的权重值、评价值和评价序的变化特征与分布规律,并依据该变化特征与分布规律,实现了对各种方法的“优劣比较”和最优选择。应用该模型对JCR中70种人文地理期刊进行排序分等,其中排名第一的“全球环境变化和政策”等14种期刊为位列第一等分的高影响力期刊。本研究完善了多因素综合评价体系,也丰富了对人文地理期刊的认知。
