Experimental study of the semi‐active control of building structures using the shaking table

A magnetorheological (MR) damper has been manufactured and tested and a non‐linear model is discussed. The parameters for the model are identified from an identification set of experimental data; these parameters are then used to reconstruct the force vs. displacement and the force vs. velocity hysteresis cycles of the MR damper for the hysteretic model. Then experiments are conducted on a three‐storey frame model using impact excitation, which identifies dynamic parameters of the model equipped with and without the MR damper. Natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes, as well as structural properties, such as the mass, stiffness and damping matrices, are obtained. A semi‐active control method such as a variable structure controller is studied. Based on the ‘reaching law’ method, a feedback controller is presented. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the control system and the effect of earthquake ground motions, both numerical analysis and shaking table tests of the model, with and without the MR damper, have been carried out under three different ground motions: El Centro 1940, Taft 1952, and Ninghe 1976 (Tangshan Earthquake in Chinese). It is found from both the numerical analysis and the shaking table tests that the maximum accelerations and relative displacements for all floors are significantly reduced with the MR damper. A reasonable agreement between the results obtained from the numerical analysis and those from the shaking table tests is also observed. On the other hand, tests conducted at different earthquake excitations and various excitation levels demonstrate the ability of the MR damper to surpass the performance of a comparable passive system in a variety of situations.

磁流变变阻尼半主动控制结构的仿真分析

由于高阶单步法已成功地应用于结构非线性分析及考虑时滞的主动控制等，显示了它的稳定、精度高和计算迅速等特点。用于结构振动控制的磁流变阻尼器属于速度相关型变阻尼半主动控制器，已有的一些算法，或因计算时间过长不能用于实际控制，或因需要事先经过学习训练，控制效果取决于训练学习的情况。因此，本文将高阶单步法应用于磁流变变阻尼半主动控制系统，采用开关控制和连续控制两种控制率对磁流变液的剪切强度进行调节。仿真计算表明，该控制算法是一种能用于结构实际控制的变阻尼有效算法.

应用平滑先验信息方法移除GRACE数据中相关误差

由于GRACE卫星数据解算的时变重力场模型中高阶位系数存在误差,这些误差在重力异常图中表现为南北向的条带噪声,在应用GRACE时变重力场数据时必须进行滤波.本文在空间域引入了一种有效消除GRACE时变重力场条带噪声的平滑先验信息方法,并将其与目前常用的高斯滤波和去相关误差等滤波方法分别应用于合成的质量变化趋势数字模型,检测不同滤波方法消除条带噪声的能力及其对真实信号的影响.滤波结果显示,与目前常用的高斯滤波和去相关误差滤波器相比,本文滤波方法在有效移除条带噪声的同时,具有有效信号幅度衰减小、有效信号形变小以及保存了更多的短波长细节信息等优势;此外,统计结果显示,本文滤波结果在信号最大值、最小值以及残差均方根等方面均与模拟真实信号最为接近.相比300km高斯平滑和组合滤波结果,有效信号振幅的极小值和极大值分别提高了约18%和6%,残差均方根分别降低了25%和33%.说明本文滤波方法移除GRACE相关误差的同时,在保留有效信号方面具有明显的优势.     

基于空变阻抗约束的贝叶斯稀疏脉冲反演

常规的基于贝叶斯理论的稀疏脉冲反演中,各约束项的拉格朗日算子均采用的是恒定的常系数。反演实际资料发现,波阻抗反演剖面与钻井资料的油气显示并不能很好地对应。考虑到反演不同地震道数据时,低频趋势模型所起的约束作用应当不同。本文在常规反演的基础上做出了改进,假定阻抗约束系数是一个空间变量,由各地震道的实际地震数据与合成记录之间的振幅残差来确定该道的阻抗约束系数。实际资料应用表明,改进后的反演结果更稳定,能更准确地反映地下阻抗信息。      

New spectrophotometry for SZ cam (the problem of a third component)

We present the results of our spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing binary SZ Cam performed with the 1-m (Zeiss-1000) and 6-m (BTA) telescopes at the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2000 and 2003. Based on our results and published data, we have calculated new values for the component mass ratio, q = 0.72 ± 0.02, the radial velocity of SZ Cam relative to the Solar system barycenter, V ₀ =?10.6 ± 2.0 km s^?1, and the semi-amplitudes of the radial velocity curves for both components, K ₁ = 192.0 ± 2.6 and K ₂ = 266.4 ± 2.5 km s^?1. The orbital semimajor axes and masses of the components have been determined: α₁ = 10.4R _⊙, α₂ = 14.5R _⊙, M ₁ = 16.7M _⊙, M ₂ = 12.0M _⊙. New light elements and parameters of the radial velocity curve for the third body have been obtained. The mass of the secondary component of the third body M ₂ ^3b is discussed. Its lower limit is estimated to be M ₂ ^3b = 1.4M _⊙.     

Mass—luminosity relation and pulsational properties of Wolf—Rayet stars

The evolution of Population I stars with initial masses 70M _⊙ ≤ M _ZAMS ≤ 130M _⊙ is considered. The computations were performed under various assumptions about the mass loss rate and were terminated at the phase of gravitational contraction after core helium exhaustion. The mass loss rate at the helium burning phase, ?_3α , is shown to be the main parameter that determines the coefficients of the mass—luminosity relation for Wolf—Rayet stars. Several more accurate mass—luminosity relations for mass loss rates ? = f _3α ?_3α , where 0.5 ≤ f _3α ≤ 3, are suggested, along with the mass—luminosity relation that combines all of the evolutionary sequences considered. The results of the stellar evolution computations were used as initial conditions in solving the hydrodynamic equations describing the spherically symmetric motions of a self-gravitating gas. The outer layers of massive Population I stars are unstable against radial oscillations throughout the helium burning phase. The oscillation amplitude is largest at enhanced carbon and oxygen abundances in the outer stellar layers, i.e., at a lower initial stellar mass M _ZAMS or a lower mass loss rate during the entire preceding evolution. In the course of evolution, the radial oscillation amplitude decreases and the small nonlinearity of the oscillations at M < 10M _⊙ allow the integral of mechanical work W done by an elementary spherical layer of gas in a closed thermodynamic cycle to be calculated with the necessary accuracy. The maximum of the radial dependence of W is shown to be located in layers with a gas temperature T ～ 2 × 10⁵ K, where the oscillations are excited by the iron Z-bump κ-mechanism. Comparison of the radial dependences of the integral of mechanical work W and the amplitude of the radiative flux variations suggests that the nonlinear radial oscillations of more massive Wolf—Rayet stars are also excited by the κ-mechanism.
