As the core component of active vibration control, a novel Ampere force electromagnetic actuator based on the Halbach magnetic pole array was designed, featuring high force density and low output force fluctuation rate. The multi-physical field coupling relationship of the electromagnetic actuator was analyzed, and a coupled model of the electromagnetic field and energy consumption field was established. In this model, the energy consumption field was modeled by the neural network surrogate model method to enhance the computational efficiency. The NSGA-II optimization algorithm was employed to conduct multi-objective optimization design, and the improved entropy weight decision-making theory was combined to obtain the optimal combination of design parameters. A prototype of the electromagnetic actuator was fabricated and experimental analysis was carried out. The results show that: In the 30-250Hz frequency band, the force constant of the actuator can reach 20 N/A, and the nonlinearity is less than 10%. When the peak current is 8 A at 250 Hz, the energy consumption of the actuator is 105.2 W, presenting the advantages of low force attenuation rate, good linearity, and low power consumption.
The acoustic coating can be used by submarines to absorb sound waves and is a primary means of countering active sonar detection.With the continuous advancement of underwater detection technology, current acoustic coatings are being developed to achieve low-frequency broadband sound absorption in deep-sea environments.Traditional cavity-type coatings, due to their narrow absorption bandwidth and poor resistance to water pressure, are no longer able to meet application requirements.A novel sound-absorbing structure based on a circular tube honeycomb configuration was proposed in this paper.According to the equivalent layered medium theory, the theoretical solution of the absorption coefficient was derived using the transfer matrix method.A COMSOL finite element model was established to compare the theoretical results with simulation ones in detail, verifying the reliability of the finite element modal.The sound absorption mechanism was systematically analyzed, revealing that the introduction of the honeycomb structure induces shear vibration in the polyurethane, which enhances panel vibration and facilitates the conversion between longitudinal and transverse waves.Their coupling effect increase sound energy dissipation, achieving broadband sound absorption in the range of 1 091 Hz to 10 000 Hz, with an average absorption coefficient of 0.869.Both material parameters and the honeycomb structure impact the sound absorption performance.Higher loss factors and thicker honeycomb walls improve the sound absorption effect.The sound absorption performance under hydrostatic pressure was studied, and the results indicate that the structure can maintain its absorption stability under water pressure as high as 5.0 MPa.
Three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of the vortex-induced vibration of a pin-pin supported near-wall elastic cylinder at a Reynolds number of Re = 300 were conducted using the immersed boundary method based on embedded iteration. The aspect ratio of the slender cylinder was L /D = 25, while the gap ratio G/D ranged from 0.6 to 1.6. This corresponds to scenarios where the cylinder is fully covered by the boundary layer, partially submerged in the boundary layer, and completely outside the boundary layer, respectively. In the single-mode vibration regime, the vibration and the lift and drag coefficients of the cylinder at G/D = 0.6 and 1.1 are dominated by a single frequency. In contrast, at G/D = 1.6, two frequency components appear near the natural frequency. In the multi-mode vibration regime, the excitation and superposition of multiple modes cause the vibration and the lift and drag coefficients of the cylinder to exhibit a spatial-temporal distribution characterized by traveling waves. The merge of the upward-curling boundary layer and the wake vortices shed from the upper surface of the cylinder, together with the suppression of the vortices shed from the lower surface, leads to asymmetric vortex shedding. As the gap ratio increases, the suppression of vortex shedding weakens, and the wake sequentially exhibits the '1S', weak '2S', and '2S' vortex-shedding patterns. For multi-mode vibrations, the drag and lift spectra show the multi-frequency features while the streamwise and cross-flow vibrations are decoupled.
Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) under the action of ocean currents is a primary cause of fatigue damage accumulation in marine risers. In actual marine environments, the flow direction of ocean currents is not constant but exhibits characteristics of multidirectional flow. In multidirectional flows, the orientation of the plane in which the catenary riser is located has a significant impact on the VIV response. Based on a numerical prediction model for VIV and a fatigue assessment method for structures in multidirectional flows, the fatigue damages of the riser in flows with different directions and velocities were calculated, and the VIV fatigue characteristics in multidirectional flows with significant and non-significant seasonal differences were analyzed. The results indicate that when in-plane and out-of-plane modes coexist and compete in the response within a multidirectional flow environment, the VIV fatigue damage is relatively small. The relationship between fatigue damage and the velocity of the external flow can be approximated by a power function or a double exponential function. When seasonal differences are not significant, fatigue damage varies dramatically with changes in the orientation of the riser; when seasonal differences are significant, fatigue damage varies more smoothly with changes in the orientation of the riser. Numerical calculations show that aligning the plane in which the riser is located at a specific angle with the dominant direction of the multidirectional flow can effectively reduce the VIV fatigue damage.
Piezoelectric smart metal corrosion sensors have already attracted much attention in pipeline corrosion monitoring, but most of them are in single output mode. The reliability of a single impedance signal is difficult to be effectively verified when facing complex and harsh corrosive environments. For this reason, a dual-port metal corrosion probe is designed based on electromechanical impedance technology and dual piezoelectric elements. The theoretical model of the probe under dual-port output was established, and the first resonance and anti-resonance frequencies were solved. The finite element simulation was used to verify the correctness of the theoretical model. In addition, artificial quantitative corrosion tests and wireless impedance measurement tests were carried out to investigate the quantitative corrosion monitoring performance of the probe as well as the online monitoring capability. The results show that the first resonance and anti-resonance frequencies of the dual-port output both increase with the decrease of the rod length, and the self-calibration function can be realized. The frequency values determined by the wireless impedance measurement system are in good agreement with the results of the traditional impedance analyzer. The research results provide a reference for the development of wireless self-calibration metal corrosion probes.
The spectral element calculation method has the advantages of clear propagation mechanism and high computational efficiency in structural vibration analysis, but the calculation results are biased when dealing with complex structural spectral element matrix due to the equivalence problem of substructure. In this paper, an equivalent physical model of plate structure based on beam and spring vibrator substructure is proposed, and the spectral stiffness matrix of multi-period grid structure and vibrator grid structure is constructed, and the finite element models of the two structures are established for verification. By comparing the band gap and vibration response characteristics of the finite element and spectrum element grating model with that of the finite element plate model, the appropriate vibrator mass coefficient and band plate action coefficient of the two models are determined, and the accuracy of the calculation method is verified.
Vibration energy harvesting is a hot research field, and the existing research work mainly focuses on the free environmental space. In order to adapt to the extreme environment of limited and narrow space, a cut-out piezoelectric beam harvester with limiter is designed in this paper. The harvester is composed of a cut-out piezoelectric beam, two pairs of limiters and concentrated mass blocks. Based on the piezoelectric conservation relationship, the dynamics equation of the system is established. The effects of the distance of the limiter, the stiffness of the system, the external excitation amplitude and the electromechanical coupling coefficient on the frequency bandwidth, voltage and amplitude of the acquisition were analyzed by direct numerical integration method. By comparing with the linear harvester system without limiter, it is found that the acquisition frequency bandwidth, output voltage and power can be increased by reasonable limit spacing, proper stiffness, acceleration amplitude and piezoelectric coefficient. Finally, the correctness of the numerical analysis is verified by experiments.
Aiming at the rubbing fault between guide vane stem and head cover of a francis hydro-turbine under the effect of water flow, the finite element method combined with the fixed interface mode synthesis method was used to establish the reduced model of the guide vane stem-head cover system with rubbing fault. Then the effects of truncation number of guide vane stem and head cover on the first three-order natural frequencies of the model were discussed, respectively. Next, considering the pre-stressed effect caused by the water flow load and the local contact load between guide vane stem and head cover, the first three order natural frequencies obtained from the full and reduced models varying with hydrostatic load and friction coefficient were compared with each other. Finally, the effects of two contact states including near and near-far load end contacts on the dynamic behavior of the full and reduced models under single harmonic water flow excitation were compared with each other. The results showed that: (1) the first three natural frequencies of the system increase with the increasing hydrostatic load leading to the aggravation of local contact between guide vane stem and head cover, and a larger friction coefficient results in a larger hydrostatic load when switching from near-load end contact to near-far load end contact; (2) in the resonant state, the frequency spectrogram of guide vane stem-head cover rubbing-coupled system under the effect of single harmonic water flow presents integer multiples of the excitation frequency, and the amplitude amplification phenomenon appears at odd harmonics of the excitation frequency.
In view of the dynamic issues caused by the installation gap on the secondary lateral damper during the roller rig test of the electric multiple units trailer car. A Maxwell model for the secondary lateral damper was established considering installation gap, rubber joint stiffness, oil stiffness, and nonlinear damping characteristics. A dynamic co-simulation of the vehicle model and the damper models was further carried out to analyze the effects of different installation gaps on the damper on the dynamic performance of the vehicle. Meanwhile, all the models had been validated with bench tests. The research results are shown as follows. When the damper has an installation gap, the indicator diagram shows a deadband corresponding to the gap length after stroke reversal, reducing the damper’s ability to suppress vibration. The nonlinear critical speed decreases overall with the increase of the gap, and after the gap exceeds a certain value, the decrease in speed tends to level off, converging to the nonlinear critical speed for the complete failure condition of the secondary lateral dampers. The lateral ride quality index increases rapidly with the increase of the gap, and the evaluation grade undergoes an obvious change from excellent to good and then to qualified, significantly reducing the lateral ride quality of the vehicle running. The derailment coefficient and the wheelset lateral force increase relatively slowly with the increase of the gap, reducing the safety of the vehicle running to some extent. The research results are instructive for the fine modeling of long-service dampers and the operation and maintenance of vehicles.
[purpose]In order to research the full frequency domain vibration problem of vehicle-track structure,[method] a dynamic model and algorithm for the vehicle-ballastless track structure coupling system is constructed based on the spectral geometry method.The Rayleigh-Ritz method is applied to derive the stiffness matrix,damping matrix,mass matrix of the track structure spectral geometry element and coupling virtual spring stiffness matrix between elements.The dynamic equation of the vehicle-track structure coupling system is solved by the spectral geometry method,and the vibration response of the vehicle track structure in the full frequency domain is obtained.The influence of track structure element size on convergence and computational efficiency is analyzed,and the range of virtual spring stiffness coefficients for the rail,slab,and support layer is discussed.Compared with the finite element method,the correctness and efficiency of the spectral geometry method is verified.As an application example,the vibration response of the vehicle-track structure coupling system is analyzed under the excitation of random track irregularities.[result]The research results indicate that,while ensuring computational accuracy,larger track structure element sizes for calculation can be used by spectral geometry method,while smaller track structure element sizes can be used by finite element method,Therefore,the computational efficiency of spectral geometry method is much higher than that of finite element method;When the element sizes are 3.25m and 6.5m,the computational efficiency of the spectral geometry method is higher,which can be used as the reference element sizes for analyzing the dynamic problems of vehicle-track structure coupling systems based on the spectral geometry method;The reasonable value for the virtual spring stiffness of the rail, slab,and support layer is greater than or equal to 105 times the bending stiffness of the corresponding components.The displacement amplitude frequency curves of the car body and bogie alternate with numerous peaks and valleys,which are caused by the phase difference of track irregularity excitation between the four wheel sets for the vehicle system;The frequency at the valley of the vertical displacement amplitude frequency curve of the car body and bogie corresponds to the fixed distance filtering and wheelbase filtering frequencies of the vehicle respectively.[Conclusion]The research results offer an efficient and accurate numerical method for solving the dynamic problems of vehicle-track structure coupling systems in the full frequency domain,and provide technical support for vibration reduction analysis and design of vehicle-track structure systems.
To analyze the dynamic performance of variable-angle ply porous fiber-reinforced sandwich composite panels under simply supported boundary conditions, the vibration differential equations for the porous double-layer sandwich panels were established based on the layerwise theory and the Rayleigh-Ritz method. These equations were subsequently solved using the Navier method. The dynamic characteristics at various ply angles were analyzed using Abaqus and the modal tests were performed with [0°/90°] and [±45°] ply orientations to validate the accuracy of the theoretical model. A parametric analysis of the porous double-layer sandwich panel was conducted using the theoretical model, followed by structural optimization using a genetic algorithm. The research reveals that laminated panels with a porosity of 94.854% and fiber ply angles in multiples of 45° exhibit outstanding dynamic performance. These results provide a reference for the design and manufacture of such structures.
In order to control the horizontal and vertical vibrations of semisubmersible wind turbine, a multi-direction and multi-position TMD deployment method is proposed, which involves arranging H-TMD in the nacelle and V-TMD in the platform. To study the vibration reduction effect of this TMD deployment method, A fully coupled numerical model of semisubmersible wind turbine with multi-directional multi-position TMD was established, and the dynamic response of semisubmersible wind turbine under wind wave combined action was analyzed using OpenFAST simulation. The results show that the vibration reduction control effect of arranging multi-direction and multi-position TMD is better than that of single position TMD, and arranging low-frequency H-TMD in the nacelle and V-TMD in the platform is the optimal arrangement scheme, which can achieve average standard deviation control rates of 13.97%, 32.85%, 15.21%, and 2.86% for pitch, roll, heave, and tower longitudinal vibration of semisubmersible wind turbine.
To enhance the sealing performance of piston rings in Stirling engines, the mechanical properties of piston rings under differential pressure were first analyzed through numerical simulation. This analysis investigated the effects of four structural parameters—assembly interference (δ), floating ring axial thickness (σ), floating ring outer diameter (D), and bowl lip depth (L)—on the sealing performance of the piston rings. Subsequently, the response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize these four structural parameters, aiming to determine the optimal combination that aligns the contact pressure at the piston ring-cylinder liner interface with the target values established by experimental results. The findings indicate that the maximum contact pressure at the sealing interface between the floating ring and the cylinder liner increases with δ, increases and then decreases with σ, decreases and then increases with D, and remains relatively stable before increasing with L. Optimization results were analyzed using regression coefficients and ANOVA. The estimated regression coefficients and ANOVA revealed varying influences of the structural parameters, with σ exerting the most significant effect on the maximum contact pressure, followed by L and D, while δ had the least impact. Additionally, the interaction between σ and L significantly affected the response. When δ is set to 0.03 mm, σ to 1.05 mm, D to 55.6 mm, and L to 0.95 mm, the maximum contact pressure on the sealing surface of piston ring I decreases from 12.124 MPa to 10.717 MPa, whereas that on piston ring II increases from 4.027 MPa to 4.3287 MPa. Validation using the THT07-135 high-temperature friction and wear experimental machine demonstrated that post-optimization, the temperature rise of the friction surface decreases, the coefficient of friction increases, and the wear rate decreases significantly. These results confirm the scientific and effective nature of the optimization design. This inverse-guided optimization approach provides an effective solution for the development of high-performance seals.
Regarding the dynamic problems of composite thin-walled cylindrical shells with multiple elliptical perforations, this paper proposes a semi-analytical modeling method based on the energy superimposition. Combined with the Rayleigh-Ritz method, Love's first approximation theory and second kind of Chebyshev polynomials, a semi-analytical model for free vibration of the hard-coated thin-walled cylindrical shells with multiple elliptical perforations uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction is established. The comparison between the calculated and experimental natural frequencies verifies the correctness and rationality of the semi-analytical model. On this basis, the influences of elliptical perforation schemes (including the axial length, axial and circumferential perforation numbers) on vibration and damping characteristics of the shell are analyzed emphatically. The results show that the perforations would first lead to a reduction in natural frequencies compared to non-perforated structures. As the axial perforation number increases, the natural frequencies show a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. As the length of the elliptical axis increases, the natural frequency of the shell continuously decreases, and the larger the axial perforations, the greater the frequency reduction. As the circumferential perforation number increases, the natural frequencies and modal loss factor of the shell also show a significant downward trend. However, when the circumferential perforation number is twice that of the circumferential wave, the natural frequencies gradually increase as well as the modal loss factor reaches its peak.
This paper establishes a simplified model of the bladeless wind turbine and derives the formula for its power generation efficiency. Numerical simulations were conducted using computational fluid dynamics software Fluent and user-defined functions (UDF), studying the vortex-induced vibration characteristics and power generation efficiency of single and dual degree-of-freedom bladeless wind turbines under different reduced wind speeds. The study shows that the difference in the degrees of freedom of the wind turbine significantly affects its vibration response, aerodynamic characteristics, and power generation efficiency. The vibration amplitude initially increases and then decreases as the reduced wind speed increases, remaining stable in certain wind speed ranges. The vibration trajectory of the dual degree-of-freedom wind turbine at reduced wind speeds primarily forms a figure-eight pattern, exhibiting multi-frequency vibrations when the wind speed approaches the natural frequency, with the trajectory becoming chaotic. The power generation efficiency follows a trend of increasing first and then decreasing with the reduced wind speed, with the efficiency of the dual degree-of-freedom wind turbine being higher than that of the single degree-of-freedom wind turbine. At a reduced wind speed of Ur = 2.4, the maximum power generation efficiency of the single degree-of-freedom wind turbine is 25.19%; at Ur = 3.4, the maximum power generation efficiency of the dual degree-of-freedom wind turbine is 57.14%. Power generation efficiency is influenced by the combined effects of incoming wind speed, vibration velocity, and lift-drag coefficients. With changes in degrees of freedom and reduced wind speeds, the wake vortex shedding patterns of the wind turbine also vary. The vortex shedding patterns of the three-dimensional bladeless wind turbine at different heights in the span direction are similar to those of the two-dimensional wind turbine, but due to smaller vortices in the surrounding flow field, the energy loss is higher, leading to a slightly lower power generation efficiency compared to the two-dimensional bladeless wind turbine.
In this paper, by using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method combined with the MoorDyn dynamic mooring cable numerical model, a computational model to study the motion responses and mooring forces of moored floating bodies on the three-dimensional stepped seabed under wave-driven conditions had been developed. We used the experimental data to verify and compare its applicability and accuracy. Further, the effects of the Kollagan-Carpenter number (KC number), the period T, the spacing between floating bodies d, and the seabed height h on the motion responses and mooring forces of the moored floating bodies which are located at the upstream and downstream of the stepped seabed (moored floating bodies I and II, respectively) are systematically investigated. It was found that the KC number has a motivational effect on the motion response and mooring forces of moored floating bodies I and II. As T increases, the motion response phases of moored floating bodies I and II are significantly shifted, and the amplitude of the mooring forces on the two floating bodies has a tendency to increase. The effect of d on the motion responses of moored floating bodies I and II is small, and the phases corresponding to the amplitude of the mooring forces on the two floating bodies under different d show significant shifts. As h increases, the motion response of the moored floating body I is weakened while the motion response of the moored body II is enhanced, and the amplitude of the mooring forces on the two moored floating bodies shows a similar trend. The removal of the moored floating body I resulted in intensification of the moored floating body II motion response.
The manipulator mechanism of space station with clearance is taken as the research object, and the influence of motion pair wear on the motion output accuracy of the mechanism is analyzed. Firstly, the dynamic modeling of the mechanism is carried out by combining the Lankarani-Nikravesh contact impact force model and the LuGre stagnation-slip friction model, and the relationship function between wear depth and puncture depth and stiffness coefficient is established. Secondly, the dynamic response characteristics of the system under different clearance conditions are explored. Finally, the simulation results are combined with the Archard model to analyze the wear of the motion pair under different conditions, reconstruct the irregular clearance surface, and solve the effect of wear on the dynamic response of the system. The results show that for the open-loop mechanism, the closer the clearance position is to the end effector, the greater the influence on the end effector is. The wear of the kinematic pair connected to the spacecraft body is more serious. Under the irregular clearance, the time of velocity and acceleration fluctuation lags behind that of the regular clearance.
In space operations, solar panels mounted on satellites needed to adjust their position and orientation to achieve optimal illumination angles for energy replenishment. These flexible structures exhibited low modal frequencies, making them prone to excitation and slow to dampen residual vibrations. The solar panels on satellites are typically multi-flexible structures. The T-shaped design can simulate the vibrational characteristics of multi-flexible structures under external factors. Considering the operational features of solar panels, a trapezoidal trajectory motion was designed to observe the vibrations of the flexible beams, along with a control scheme. An active vibration control strategy was developed for the designed T-shaped movable three-flexible beam measurement and control experimental platform. System identification was performed, and an RBF neural network-based nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller (RBF-NFTSMC) was designed for active vibration control. Due to the significant excitation caused by trapezoidal trajectory motion, trapezoidal trajectory excitation was applied to the flexible beam. After the trajectory motion was completed, active control experiments with the RBF-NFTSM controller were conducted. The experimental results demonstrate that the RBF-NFTSMC outperforms traditional high-gain PD controllers in suppressing residual vibrations more effectively.
The operational environment of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) on aircraft is characterized by randomness in wind speed, flight altitude, and temperature, necessitating stable operation across diverse working conditions. A control model is established for the RAT speed control system under the influence of incoming air, and stability analysis is conducted under various operating conditions. Initially, based on turbine operating principles, a dynamic model is formulated for the speed control system of a RAT, capable of reflecting the true response of the turbine. Subsequently, the speed control system is approximated linearly near the speed equilibrium state to derive a closed-loop control model that can describe system stability under load disturbance. By combining the simulation results of the dynamic model with the theoretical calculations of the control model, the response characteristics of the turbine under load impact are analyzed. Ultimately, the stability of the speed control system is evaluated, and the stability laws of the speed control system in different operational environments are systematically investigated. The numerical simulation results indicate that the closed-loop control model accurately reflects the stability of the RAT speed control system, with system stability being weakest in operational conditions of high wind speed and low flight altitude.
In order to realize the intelligent multi-component fault diagnosis of bearings, rotors and gears in a mechanical transmission system under low speed, weak faults and few measurement points, a fault diagnosis method based on improved vibration-mapped gray texture images (GTIs) and multi-scale lightweight convolutional neural network is proposed. An improved gray texture image with enhanced features is obtained by robust local binary pattern (RLBP) on the traditional gray image. Based on the standard convolutional neural network (CNN), a multi-scale lightweight CNN (MSLCNN) model is constructed by adding batch normalization, multi-scale convolution and simplified full connection layer. The fault diagnosis experiment under 700r/min and a single measurement point is designed, and seven typical faults of bearings, rotors and gears are simulated. The investigation shows that the model parameters of the proposed fault diagnosis method are 0.30M, the floating point operations (FLOPs) are 127.22M, the model size is 1.17MB, and the average diagnostic accuracy is 98.42%. It provides a new feasible path for the data-driven multi-component fault diagnosis of the mechanical transmission system based on the deep learning.
Cavitation, one of destabilizing factors in the operation of water jet propulsion pumps, not only induces a drop in hydraulic performance, but also triggers vibration and noise. For improving the resolution accuracy of cavitation vibrational signal, SSA-VMD integration algorithm was proposed on the basis of VMD with the minimum arrangement entropy coefficients as fitness function, and the identification of modes number and penalty parameter was improved. Cavitation visualization and simultaneous acquisition of vibration signals from multiple sources were then tested. SSA-VMD decomposition, total energy, component energy, and correlation calculations of vibration signal were performed. Effective access to the vibration energy change law, and spectral energy distribution of characteristic measurement point and axial under two states. The results provide reference and an fast and effective method for experimental study of cavitation prediction and vibration mechanism, which is of practical significance for guaranteeing efficient and stable navigation of water jet propulsion ships.
In order to quickly and accurately locate the location of damage to the top tension riser (TTR), avoid the economic and environmental hazards caused by riser damage. A TTR damage identification method based on wavelet packet transform is proposed. Analyzing the acceleration dynamic response before and after TTR damage, relevant information about the evolution of the structure with damage is extracted as damage features. Firstly, the vibration acceleration signal of the riser is decomposed into wavelet packet components of different frequency bands using wavelet packet decomposition. Then, the wavelet packet energy of each sub-band is calculated and summed, and the wavelet packet energy curvature is obtained using the second-order difference method. Reducing the elastic modulus of the unit to simulate damage, the difference in energy curvature before and after damage is used as an indicator for identifying and locating riser damage. Research was conducted on TTR simulation models with different damage scenarios, and the effects of noise interference, unit partitioning, and local quality changes on the localization performance of the method were analyzed. The results indicate that this method can provide accurate location of riser damage, has a certain anti-interference ability against noise effects, and is not affected by unit division, and is insensitive to local quality changes in the riser.
In order to solve the problem of low fault diagnosis accuracy, this paper proposes a bearing fault diagnosis method based on feature cross-attention mechanism fusion and develops the CNN-BiTCN-CATTM model. The original signal is reconstructed using variational mode decomposition and fast fourier transform, while bidirectional temporal convolutional networks (BiTCN) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) are used to extract time-frequency features. The cross-attention mechanism (CATTM) is applied to fuse these features, fully capturing fault characteristics from the original signal. Experiments show that in an environment with Gaussian white noise (SNR = 9.32, standard deviation = 2.98), the CNN-BiTCN-CATTM model achieves a bearing fault classification accuracy of 99.88%, which is about 22.79%, 4.85%, and 4.19% higher than using CNN, BiTCN, and CNN-SATTM, respectively. Even with Gaussian white noise (SNR = 3.31, standard deviation = 5.96), the model still achieves a diagnostic accuracy of 96.12%. The CNN-BiTCN-CATTM model effectively extracts deep fault features and significantly improves fault classification accuracy.
In the monitoring of high-pressure servo motor, traditional methods face significant challenges due to the scarcity of fault data, which is difficult to acquire, and the inherent uncertainty of fault occurrences, with normal samples vastly outnumbering fault samples. To address these issues, this paper proposes a state monitoring system for high-pressure servo motor based on Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) for anomaly detection and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for fault diagnosis. Initially, time-domain (T), frequency-domain (F), and wavelet packet subband energy (W) features are extracted from raw data. These features are then fused and normalized to form a new multidimensional feature vector, TFW. Subsequently, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is employed to deeply mine the TFW, generating more expressive features, TFWCNN, which serve as inputs to the SVDD and SVM models. An experimental platform for simulating high-pressure servo motor faults was constructed to collect data and validate the proposed method. The results indicate that on three dynamic datasets with different valve opening positions, the F1 scores for SVDD anomaly detection are 0.9991, 0.9978, and 0.9760, and for SVM fault diagnosis, the F1 scores are 0.9988, 0.9950, and 0.9867, respectively. These findings not only demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method in the state monitoring of high-pressure servo motor but also highlight the efficacy and accuracy of deep TFWCNN features. Furthermore, this study provides an effective technical solution for similar turbine state monitoring and diagnostic systems.
In the context of life prediction for components, dynamic environments complicate the degradation process. To ensure the reliability of components during actual operation, a time-varying drift kernel filter based on Bayesian framework is proposed in time-varying operating environment. Firstly, the Wiener model is employed to characterize the degradation process, and the state space equation is constructed utilizing the multi-source mapping function. Next, the Bayesian online mutation point detection is employed, utilizing prior knowledge to predict and update the posterior probability of particles to determine the location of the mutation point. Then, the drift kernel filter is used to adaptively allocate weights and select different kernel functions for particle resampling before and after change points. This approach enhances prediction accuracy. Finally, the effectiveness of the drift kernel filter is verified through the C-MAPSS dataset.
The noise resulting from the impact of carrier-based aircraft wake on the deflector plate seriously threatens the health and safety of ground crew , as well as the instruments and equipment on the aircraft carrier. This problem can be simplified to the noise of high-speed jets impacting the deflector plate. A numerical method combining three-dimensional Large eddy simulation (LES) and FW-H acoustic analogy was employed to investigate the impact of incorporating porous media onto the swash plate’s surface on both the high-speed jet impingement flow field and the acoustic field . The study revealed the noise reduction trends associated with variations in the physical properties of the porous media. Additionally, it analyzed in detail the mechanisms by which porous media influence several types of typical noise, starting from the root cause of flow changes. It is shown that porous media can effectively reduce the discrete monotone and turbulent mixing noise in the jet impingement flow field. An optimal combination of physical parameters exists, offering the best noise reduction effect. For instance, the porous model with a thickness of 20mm and PPI of 30 can reduce the discrete monotone near 2312Hz up to 19.79dB, This results in the total upstream SPL reduction of 6.92dB; the suppression of discrete noise by porous media is based on the following principles: porous media affect the stability between the third and forth shock grille, thereby destroying the self-excitation conditions that are closely related to the formation of the feedback loop. The effect of the porous medium on the turbulent mixing noise originates from its destructive impact on the large-scale vortices and its adsorptive effect on the small-scale vortices. This not only suppresses or transfers the low and medium-frequency broadband noise but also effectively reduces the turbulence kinetic energy intensity and pressure fluctuations near the wall surface.
The peak overpressure of underwater explosion induced shock waves in water is mainly based on the Kuhl formula, without considering the mechanism of underwater drilling and blasting induced shock waves in water. In response to the lack of reliable prediction methods for overpressure caused by underwater drilling and blasting induced water shock waves, this paper first theoretically analyzes the rock breaking and water shock wave excitation process of the blasting system composed of water explosives rock mass. Furthermore, by comparing the theoretical and numerical solutions of the peak pressure of the water hammer wave under the action of explosive stress waves, it was found that when the explosive stress wave first entered the elastic deformation zone, the numerical solution was relatively small, indicating that the rock mass's elastic-plastic deformation zone gradually transitioned from the plastic deformation zone to the elastic deformation zone, and as the distance increased, it entered the elastic deformation zone of the rock mass. The fitting effect between the numerical solution and the theoretical solution was good. Furthermore, based on the SPH-FEM coupling method, the motion process of detonation product particles around the blast hole was simulated, and combined with the single hole underwater blasting test data from the Yangtze River channel construction project site, the waveform characteristics of water hammer waves were compared and verified. The research results indicate that there are three mechanisms for underwater drilling and blasting to excite shock waves in water. After the explosive detonates in the borehole, the stress wave of the explosion will undergo a complex process of transmission and reflection when it encounters the interface between rock and water. Some will reflect back from the interface, while others will transmit and excite shock waves in the water at the interface; As the detonation wave propagates, the explosive gas is subsequently ejected from the borehole opening, triggering a shock wave in the water; Affected by the explosion shock wave, the blast hole cavity begins to undergo radial dynamic expansion, followed by further crack propagation, completing the bulging and fragmentation of the rock mass, causing the explosion generated gas to expand and escape into the water from the cracks in the rock mass bulge, and exciting underwater shock waves.
To analyze the damage characteristics of module charge dropping in a variety of ground environment, a dynamic finite element model of the modular charge was established on the basis of nonlinear finite element theory. The drop impact process of the modular charge was simulated using ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. A numerical simulation was conducted to evaluate the impact of dropping postures and ground characteristics on the stress, strain, and acceleration responses of module charge. The stress, strain and acceleration data of the modular charge when it was dropped from a height of 2m onto three different types of ground: sand, concrete, and Q235 steel plate, with three dropping postures: bottom-downward vertical drop, horizontal drop, and a 45° inclined drop. The primary objective is to examine the deformation and damage characteristics of combustible cartridges, with a particular emphasis on the influence of drop posture and ground characteristic. The results show that the ranking of module charge rupture risk is: inclined 45° dropping, horizontal dropping, and bottom down vertical dropping. The harder the ground is, the greater the stress, strain, and overload will be, and the time to reach the peak value will be shorter. Under the three dropping posture conditions, the nitrocellulose collides with each other but do not break, and the safety risk area is located at the bottom of the combustible cartridge. The rupture occurred at a 45° inclined drop to both the concrete ground and the Q235 steel plate. The damage modes observed include localised denting, matrix cracking and shearing. These research findings can be utilized as a reference for the improvement of the structural design of module charges.
Previous studies have demonstrated that that facade ribs serve as an effective aerodynamic optimization measure, significantly reducing wind loads on high-rise buildings. However, the optimal arrangement of facade ribs under minimal wind loads in practical engineering remains unclear. Conventional numerical simulations and wind tunnel test methods can only obtain limited optimization schemes for rib layouts, and the optimization process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, this paper utilizes a multi-objective optimization procedure combining Large Eddy Simulation (LES), Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), and Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) to assess the optimal layout parameters for facade ribs corresponding to minimal wind loads. The results demonstrate that the BPNN surrogate model can rapidly capture the complex nonlinear relationship between rib layout parameters and target wind loads, revealing notable differences in the load variation trends on the overall force on the model and on ribs positioned at different locations. The mean drag and fluctuating lift of models of windward ribs and upstream sidewall ribs have opposite trend. The loads on the windward ribs and upstream side ribs exhibit opposite trends compared to the total lift and drag on the model. Due to the influence of vortex shedding, the loads on the downstream side ribs and leeward ribs are more complex. The genetic algorithm NSGA-II effectively evaluates the optimal trade-off solutions among multiple objective wind loads. The optimal layout parameters, specifically the position ratio b/D and extension length d/D, fall within the ranges of 0.14-0.17 and 0.073-0.077, respectively, with a b/d ratio of approximately 2. These optimal arrangement parameters provide balance for wind loads on both the model and the ribs, offering references for engineers and designers in wind-resistant design using facade ribs.
To investigate the collapse performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures under high temperatures, this paper utilizes ABAQUS finite element software to establish a finite element model for a two-story RC frame structure with instantaneous corner column removal. Based on the full validation of the model's accuracy, the study examines the impact of different durations and areas of fire exposure on the dynamic response of the RC frame structure to progressive collapse following corner column failure, through sequential thermo-mechanical coupling modeling. Furthermore, considering the uncertainty of parameters, a probabilistic assessment of the resistance to progressive collapse of RC frame structures under high temperatures is conducted. The results show that with the increase of fire time, when the first layer corner lattice is exposed to fire, the maximum peak displacement of the structure without columns increases by 153.26% compared with that at room temperature, and its resistance mechanism is mainly cantilever action and vierendeel effect, and the tensile membrane effect occurs when 60min is exposed to fire. When the first and second floor corner grids are exposed to fire, the maximum peak displacement of the structure after column removal is increased by 145.81%. Compared with the first layer corner lattice exposed to fire, the vierendeel effect is weakened, but when exposed to fire 60min, the floor produces a more obvious tensile membrane effect to resist collapse. Based on the uncertainty of structure and load, the cumulative distribution function obtained by fitting can better evaluate the collapse probability of RC frame structure at high temperature.
Dynamic compaction vibration affects the safety and stability of slopes. Existing studies often use indoor model tests and numerical calculations to determine the impact of dynamic compaction vibration waves on slopes, and few analytical methods use wave mechanics theory. In order to reveal the principle of the amplification effect of loess slopes under dynamic compaction vibration, based on the ray propagation theory of wave mechanics, this paper analyzes the propagation law of dynamic compaction vibration waves in slopes with positive and negative elevations, and deduces the analytical solution of the displacement amplification factor of particles inside the slope. Using the analytic hierarchy process, factors that may affect slope stability such as tamping energy, slope height and slope are sorted according to the calculation results of the weight coefficient. Based on the field conditions, different plans were selected to analyze the change laws of the displacement amplification factors of different particles in the slope body. The results show that under the action of low-frequency waves, the particle near the top of the slope tends to produce a large amplification factor, and the amplification effect at the top of the slope is more obvious. As the incident frequency of vibration waves increases, the particle amplification factor in the area near the top of the slope decreases relatively, but at the same time, there are many areas where amplification factors are concentrated, and the amplification factor values in these areas are large, indicating that partial collapse of the slope is prone to occur in these areas. The steep and gentle slope shape has a great influence on the amplification effect of slope particles. The steeper the slope inclination, the more obvious the amplification effect, which means that the steeper the slope, the more likely the slope is to collapse. This analytical solution calculation method is simple and practical, and can provide guidance for engineering practice.
EARTHQUAKE SCIENCE AND STRUCTURE SEISMIC RESILIENCE
The substation switchgear is critical equipment in power systems. Traditional seismic vulnerability analysis only considers the structural failure of equipment, neglecting associated functional failure mechanisms. In order to account for structure-function related failure modes, a vulnerability assessment framework for switchgear is established to generate simulated seismic responses based on the optimized Copula function. Taking the 800kV isolating switch as an example, a simulation model was developed based on test data to obtain original seismic response samples. This model was used to fit the marginal distribution function and build a Copula function to generate a large number of simulated response data to evaluate the structure-function joint failure probabilities. The results show that the simulated data generated by this framework can effectively reflect the correlation of the original samples; ignoring functional failure modes can underestimate the actual failure probability by up to 50%; at the current manufacturing level, it is difficult to significantly improve equipment reliability through material strength alone. Based on this framework, the design acceptance criteria for equipment strength and functional indicators can be effectively determined.
The MS 6.2 Jishishan earthquake, which occurred near Qinghai Province, caused significant seismic damage to buildings in many counties, affecting rural buildings in particular. The results indicate that rural buildings with wooden and brick (or earth)-wood structures experienced greater damage compare with those with masonry and reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures. In wooden structures, the cooperative deformation between wooden frames and rammed earth walls or brick walls is poor. The pressure from the walls can easily cause splitting, pull-out-tenoning, and even complete de-tenoning at the mortise and tenon joints of the wooden frames. In some brick (or earth)-wood structures, the connection between the wooden roofs and the load-bearing walls is inadequate, posing the risk of roof displacement and collapse. A small number of brick-concrete and RC frame structures also suffered significant earthquake damage due to inadequate design and poor construction quality. Additionally, the site selection for rural buildings requires careful consideration to avoid the impact of potential secondary disasters. Based on this investigation and historical seismic data, several recommendations were put forward regarding standard formulation, structural system optimization, construction quality improvement, non-structural element enhancement, and location selection. These suggestions aim to guide the seismic design and repair of rural buildings in the Qinghai earthquake region and beyond.
The thin-walled metallic tube-core sandwich structures with convenient preparation, low cost and the ability to form significant plastic deformation have broad application prospects in the field of impact protection. In this paper, the novel metallic tube-core sandwich panels with geometrically asymmetric face-sheets and transverse density gradient distribution of tubes are designed. The dynamic response and energy absorption mechanism of the sandwich panels are studied numerically. The dynamic response process and characteristics of metallic tube-core sandwich panels are obtained, and the effects of detonation height, explosive mass, mass distribution of the panel and transverse density gradient distribution of the tubes on the deformation and energy absorption are discussed. The results show that the dynamic response process of the metallic tube-core sandwich panels can be divided into three stages: core compression, overall deformation, and elastic deformation recovery. With the increase of explosive mass and the detonation height, the central displacement of the back face-sheet of the sandwich panel increases and the energy absorption ratio of the tube-core layer decreases. When keeping the total thickness of the face-sheet unchanged, the sandwich panel with thick front face-sheet and thin back face-sheet has strong ability to absorb energy and resist deformation. The sandwich panel with positive density gradient distribution of cores has strong ability to resist deformation, and the sandwich panel with the negative density gradient distribution of cores has strong ability to absorb energy. The application of the metallic tube-core sandwich panel with an appropriate increase in the thickness ratio of the front and back face-sheets and a positive density gradient distribution of the tubes can better disperse the blast shock wave, enhance the energy absorption efficiency of core layer, and obtain better anti-blast effect.
In practical engineering, fault diagnosis of rotating machinery often faces various complex situations such as noise interference, limited fault samples and variable working conditions, which pose new challenges to the application of data-driven deep learning methods that lack prior knowledge. Traditional fault diagnosis methods based on wavelet analysis can extract rich prior knowledge of faults, but a fixed (structured) or single wavelet basis is difficult to directly adapt to complex fault scenarios. To address these issues, a multiscale wavelet packet-inspired convolutional network (MWPICNet) was proposed for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery in this paper, inspired by traditional multiscale wavelet packet analysis. The proposed MWPICNet internally coupled the time-frequency domain conversion with filtering denoising, feature extraction and classification. First, the multiscale wavelet packet-inspired convolutional (MWPIC) layer and soft-thresholding activation (ST) layer were alternately used for signal decomposition and nonlinear transformation, extracting multiscale time-frequency fault features and filtering out the noise layer by layer. Each MWPIC layer could be approximately seen as a single-layer wavelet packet transform of the signal under multiple learnable wavelet bases, and learnable thresholds in the ST layer were used to sparse the wavelet coefficients. Then, the frequency band weighting (FBW) layer was designed to dynamically adjust the weights of each frequency band channel. Finally, a global power pooling layer (GPP) was introduced to extract discriminative frequency band energy features that were helpful for fault identification. The efficacy of the proposed MWPICNet is verified through case studies designed for different complex scenarios on three fault diagnosis datasets.
To investigate the difference of wind-induced swing characteristics between long span conductors and jumper lines, a refined finite element model coupling the jumper lines, long span conductors and insulator strings is constructed. The research elucidates the different dynamic characteristics, included mode and aerodynamic damping ratio, between the conductors and jumper lines. Combining with the frequency-domain method, multiple cases are calculated to analyze the effect of wind field and line parameters on the dynamic response of conductors and jumper lines. Results show that: The fundamental frequency of jumper lines is approximately 1.5~2.0 times that of conductors. The effect of aerodynamic damping on jumper lines is much smaller than that of conductors. The dynamic response of conductors is dominated by the background response, while the resonance response is not significant. However, the resonance response increases the wind -induced swing response by more than 30%, which should be considered in the wind-resistance design of jumper lines. The resonance response characteristics of jumper lines are determined by their own dynamic characteristics, and are relatively less affected by the upstream wind. The fundamental mode plays a decisive role in the resonance response of jumper lines. Based on the quasi-static and inertia force method, this paper derives the resonance part of peak fluctuating wind force for jumper lines, introduces the resonance factor, and amend the gust response coefficient. The amended gust response coefficient increases by about 9%~12% compared to the code.
The study of meso-damage evolution in steel fiber concrete is important for the health inspection of in-service steel fiber concrete structures. A multi-channel acoustic emission system was used to collect acoustic emission signals from concrete and steel-fiber concrete specimens (steel fiber content of 15 and 45 kg/m3, respectively.) during splitting tests. Then, the damage characteristics of concrete and steel fiber concrete are analyzed by combining principal component analysis and k-means clustering algorithm. Research showed that steel fiber inhibits the propagation of cracks in concrete and effectively improve the post-peak toughness of concrete. The acoustic emission characteristics parameter of counts and energy changes reflect the meso-damage evolution process of macroscopic deformation and failure in steel fiber concrete. Finally, two damage mechanisms are identified for mortar matrix cracking and steel fiber pullout in steel fiber concrete. Compared with mortar matrix cracking, the acoustic emission signals generated by steel fiber pull-out behaviors have the characteristics of high count, high amplitude, strong energy, and long duration.
The Potala Palace is a famous world cultural heritage in our country. And its area is located with active faults and frequent major earthquakes. Reliable seismic risk assessment can provide a basis for seismic protection of Zang-style ancient buildings in the study area, including the Potala Palace. Compared with the shortcomings of traditional seismic hazard analysis methods, this paper proposes a systematic process of seismic hazard assessment by using the seismic physical prediction method based on the multi-locking segment rupture theory. According to the relationship between seismic intensity and the attenuation of ground motion parameters, considering the conditions of the site itself, the seismic risk assessment of the area where the Potala Palace is located was carried out. The results show that the study area is located in the Linzhi selsmic zone, and the seismic risk of the study area in the next 100 years is mainly the next M8.5 main shock or M7.8 landmark earthquake in the Linzhi selsmic zone. The seismic fault is located in the southeast bank fault of Namco near the middle section of the Yadong-Gulu fault, and the epicenter is near 30.3°N and 90.1°E. The Potala Palace complex is located in bedrock, regardless of the magnification of the mountain site, and the seismic action at the ground end of the structure is equivalent to that of bedrock. The research conclusion provides a theoretical basis for the seismic study of the structure of the Potala Palace complex.
Due to the harsh environment of the heliostat, the strong wind not only affects the concentrating efficiency of the heliostat, but also causes damage to the heliostat. To this end, the project team designed a dynamic vibration absorber for heliostats. This paper will optimize the design from three aspects : magnetic field strength, mass ratio and structural dimensions, so as to improve its frequency shift range and vibration absorption effect. Firstly, the mathematical model of the absorber-heliostat system is established, and the optimal parameters of the absorber are determined for structural design. Then, the magnetic circuit, thermodynamics and dynamics simulation of the absorber model are carried out to analyze the rationality of the absorber structure. Finally, the effectiveness of the device is verified by experiments. The simulation results show that the magnetic field strength and temperature of the optimized vibration absorber meet the actual use requirements. The expected frequency shift range of the system is 3.97 Hz, and the vibration absorption effect is 29.38%. The experimental results show that the structure optimization is effective, and the experimental results are basically consistent with the simulation results. When the excitation current increases to 6A, the system frequency shift range is 3.813Hz, which is 240.45% higher than that before optimization. Under the excitation of 8.67Hz, as the current increases, the amplitude of the heliostat gradually decreases. In the range of 1.8A~2.4A, the vibration absorption effect can reach 15.90%, which is 32.50% higher than that before optimization. The research results in this paper can provide reference for the design of heliostat wind-induced vibration absorber.
The transfer function model of acoustic structural unit is established through the time-domain simulation method of three-dimensional finite element analysis, and is accurately expressed as the function of structural parameters. The transfer function representation can simplify the design process of acoustic structure. First, two acoustic structural units are established, and their amplitude-frequency characteristics are simulated. And meanwhile, the simulated amplitude-frequency characteristics are verified by experimental measurements. Next, based on the amplitude-frequency characteristics, transfer functions of the two structural units are fit by adopting different zero-pole matching schemes. The results show that the fitting accuracy is the highest when matching 7 poles and no zero to fit the transfer function of the expansion chamber unit, and matching 2 poles and 2 zeros to fit the transfer function of the Helmholtz resonator unit. Then, the influence of the structural parameters of the acoustic unit on the amplitude-frequency characteristics is analyzed. Subsequently, based on the high accuracy form of the fitting function, the transfer function model of the acoustic structural unit is established by numerical simulation and fitting calculation. Finally, a composite acoustic structure composed of an expansion chamber and a Helmholtz resonator is constructed, and its transfer function is calculated based on the transfer function models of the units. The results of COMSOL and transfer function model are compared to verify the established unit transfer function models.
The steel bridge tower is one kind of tall and slender structure which is highly sensitive to wind loads and prone to vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). To investigate the VIV characteristics of a 217-meter-high steel bridge tower, 1:100 scale free-standing aeroelastic model wind tunnel tests were conducted. The experimental results show that in-phase VIVs occur in the low wind speed ranges, and out-of-phase VIVs occur in the high wind speed ranges at the wind directions range of 0° - 30°. The most unfavorable wind directions of in-phase and out-of-phase VIVs are 0° and 10°, respectively. In-phase along-wind displacement and out-of-phase torsion angle are 609.5 mm and 4.3°, respectively. Furthermore, the VIV triggering mechanisms were studied by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The numerical simulation results show that the frequency of alternating vortex shedding near the two tower columns is close to the fundamental natural frequency, and the periodic pressure difference generated by this phenomenon leads to in-phase and out-of-phase VIVs. The findings and conclusions of this study provide some reference for the wind-resistant design of similar steel bridge towers.
Typically used in drum washing machines, the friction damper has an insufficient damping effect at low load and high-frequency dewatering, which causes the washing machine shell to vibrate severely. In order to address this problem, a novel type of non-Newtonian fluid variable damping damper is proposed in this paper. Based on the non-Newtonian fluid shear thinning properties and the one-dimensional viscous flow equations in the damper holes, the vibration suppression effect and the physical mechanism of the washing machine during its operation were investigated. The non-Newtonian fluid has apparent shear thinning characteristics when compared to the conventional solid-state friction damper, which significantly reduces the output damping force of the non-Newtonian fluid variable-damping damper and fixes the drawback of the conventional damper that the apparent elastic coefficient rises at high frequencies. A systematic investigation of the vibration damping effect of dampers with various structural parameters on the low load eccentric operation of a washing machine shows that a smaller gap height is more advantageous for the dissipation of vibration energy and that appropriately increasing the viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid or the number of piston heads can enhance the vibration suppression effect while also being beneficial for noise reduction. The results demonstrate that the variable damping damper can produce a good vibration damping effect for the entire washing process of the washing machine, especially for the high-frequency drying process, and the acceleration attenuation ratio can reach up to 83.49%, the energy attenuation is up to 98.44%, and the noise reduction is up to 10.38dB. This can be achieved through reasonable damping structure design and non-Newtonian fluid proportioning.
To study the extreme wind pressure distribution in semi-closed stations, the wind pressures induced by high-speed trains passing through railway stations are simulated. The accuracy of the numerical model is also verified against the field-measured data. Based on this validated numerical model, the extreme wind pressure distribution at the train head and tail is analyzed for the two typical station regions (near platform Region I and far from platform Region II) under the traveling train speed of 250km/h, 300km/h and 350km/h, respectively. The corresponding empirical equations are established. The results show that there is a nonlinear relationship between extreme wind pressures and train speeds. At the same train speed, the extreme wind pressures in Region I and Region II decrease exponentially with the horizontal distance, whereas the decrease rate is inversely proportional to the vertical distance. When the horizontal distance is less than 15m, the positive extreme wind pressures due to train head in Region I are always larger than those in Region II at the same vertical distance, while the absolute values of the negative extreme wind pressures due to train head in Region I are always smaller than those in Region II. When the horizontal distance exceeds 15m, the extreme wind pressures gradually tend to be steady, and the corresponding steady values in Region I are larger than those in Region II. The empirical equations developed in this paper can accurately describe the extreme wind pressure distribution in the semi-closed station. The research results can provide reference for the structural design of semi-closed stations.
In the process of deepwater drilling, the riser and blowout preventer system are an essential part of the entire operation process. Due to many risks involved in the operation process, therefore, establishing an accurate mechanical analysis model of the coupling system between riser and BOPs, accurately analyzing its mechanical behavior and performance, is of great significance for guiding the safety of drilling operations. At present, most people only focus on independent modeling of the riser and ignore the potential impact of the blowout preventer group, which will lead to differences between the established model and the actual situation, and making it difficult to accurately analyze the mechanical properties of the riser system. This paper puts forward the rigid-flexible coupling concept of riser and BOPs, derives the kinetic energy and potential energy of the coupling system, establishes the theoretical model by Lagrange method, and uses Newmark- β Perform numerical calculations on the dynamic model using the direct integration method. A simulation modeling was established using ADAMS software to conduct comparative analysis of dynamic response under different operating conditions. The results indicate that the lateral displacement envelope and bending moment envelope of the riser obtained from the theoretical model in this paper, as well as the lateral displacement time history curve and bottom bending moment time history curve of the middle node of the riser, are in good agreement with the ADAMS simulation results, indicating the importance of the theoretical model in this paper, which can provide reference and support for the design and analysis of risers in China.
To enhance transverse stiffness of a long-span railway suspension bridge, a composite-spatial cable structure consisting of main and secondary diagonal cables is proposed. Then, the parameters of diameter of composite-spatial cables, anchorages of main diagonal cables with stiffening beams and the surface, and the number of secondary diagonal cables on transverse deflection-span ratio of the bridge are optimized by the effective utilization of the materials and static analysis method. Finally, the analysis method for coupling vibrations of wind-vehicle-bridge system is used to obtain the limit of transverse deflection-span ratio of the bridge based on the driving performance, and the influence of the main and secondary diagonal cables on the enhancement rate of the limit of transverse deflection-span ratio is analyzed. The results show that on the basis of considering the effective utilization rate of composite-spatial cables, anchorages of main diagonal cables and stiffened beams should be located near 1/4 of the main span, and it is optimal when the vertical distance between anchorages of main diagonal cables with stiffening beams and the surface and the tower is equal, and it is enough to set a secondary diagonal cable for each group of composite-spatial cables; in the optimal layout of composite-spatial cables, transverse deflection-span ratio of the bridge can be reduced by 14.18%, the limit of transverse deflection-span ratio can be increased by 16.79%.
Shanghai Strong Earthquake Network obtained several strong earthquake records such as the 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Kyushu, Japan, on May 3, 2020. By analyzing and processing the seismic records, the H/V spectral ratio curves of each strong earthquake station are calculated respectively, and the fundamental resonance frequency and sediment thickness of each station are obtained by combining with the distribution map of the buried depth of bedrock of Shanghai Institute of Geological Survey. The results show that: (1) there is an obvious correlation between the peak value of H/V spectral ratio curve and the thickness of the sedimentary layer, and the empirical formula of the thickness of the sedimentary layer and the resonance frequency of the fundamental order in Shanghai is established through data fitting, and the basic period distribution map of the Shanghai market is drawn, which can provide a certain reference for the seismic fortification of Shanghai. (2) There will be multiple peaks in the spectral ratio curve of seismic records on the thick sedimentary layer site, and the second peak represents the higher-order resonance frequency of the sedimentary layer. (3) The empirical formula of shear wave velocity and sediment thickness in Shanghai area is obtained through data fitting.
Aiming at the rotor-runner system with rubbing problem of hydro-generator set, the Magneto-Rheological Fluid Damper ( MRD ) is adopted to control the shaft vibration, in order to investigate the influence of MRD on vibration pattern of unit shaft system and corresponding effect on suppression of system rubbing faults. Firstly, the unit axial position function is introduced into MRD nonlinear dynamics model, and the dynamic model of MRD-rotor-runner system with axial distribution parameter under rubbing fault is established. Secondly, based on numerical simulation method, the nonlinear dynamic behavior of rotor-runner system with or without considering MRD is comparatively analyzed using unit speed as control parameter. Finally, the effects of different MRD axial arrangement parameters on the dynamic behavior of rubbing rotor-runner system are investigated. The results show that the addition of MRD has a good restraining effect on unsteady motion of rotor and runner, which can significantly reduce vibration amplitude of rotor and runner, and effectively avoid the occurrence of rubbing faults in unit shaft system. The vibration dampening effect of MRD on the system is the best when damping parameters s1 and s2 are taken to be 0.25 and 0.95, respectively. By reasonably arranging MRD in unit shaft system, the system vibration can be effectively improved, thus providing useful guidance for vibration control of hydro-generator set.
A large number of scientific instruments and equipment in the space station need to be locked by unloosening bolts. Aiming at the problem of frequency drift induced by unloosening bolt locking during the development of active vibration isolator for space station, the dynamic mechanism modeling and experimental verification of nonlinear connection of active vibration isolator for space station in locking state are explored.The mechanical analysis of the locking release device of the isolator based on the unloosening bolt is carried out, and the equivalent dynamic model of the system based on the Iwan model is established according to the nonlinear distribution of the stress on the contact surface of the unloosening bolt, and the nonlinear characteristics of the dynamic response are analyzed.The prototype of the active vibration isolator of the space station is developed for sinusoidal vibration test to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the established dynamic model, which provides a reference for the environmental adaptability design of the space station precision scientific equipment.
Inertia dampers are a new type of mechanical element, which are often interconnected with spring and damping elements to form inertia dampers to synergize energy dissipation and vibration damping. In the vibration control of engineering structures, inertia dampers (e.g., TIDs and TVMDs) often have better vibration damping capabilities than conventional viscous dampers. In order to investigate the vibration damping mechanism and advantages of the two types of inertia dampers, TID and TVMD, this paper, based on a simplified SDOF structure, utilizes the kinetic theory to derive the expressions for the additional equivalent stiffness coefficients and damping coefficients provided by the two types of inertia dampers to the structure under dynamic conditions. The explicit conditions for the inertia dampers to provide additional positive and negative stiffness and to produce the damping enhancement principle are derived from the analytical study of these expressions. In addition, this paper shows the negative stiffness characteristics of the inerter element based on the hysteresis curve and illustrates the amplification of the response of both ends of the viscous damping element by the inertia element and the spring element inside the damper under the damping enhancement principle, which intuitively explains the vibration-damping advantages of the inertia dampers.
A four-point synchronous fluctuating wind speed measurement system with horizontal pair intervals of 10m, 20m and 30m was established in a plain landform terrain site of Nagqu town, Xizang, at an altitude of 4500m. Continuous records of wind speeds for 1.5 years at this high altitude site were obtained. The maximum average wind speed in 10 minutes and the fluctuating wind speed reached 33.6m/s and 45m/s, respectively. The measured mean values of longitudinal and transverse turbulence intensity are 0.134 and 0.123, respectively, which are between the turbulence intensity of the Exposure Category A and the Exposure Category B specified in DL/T 5551-2018. Based on the synchronous fluctuating wind speed of any two measuring points, the spatial correlation coefficient and turbulent integral scale of the downwind fluctuating wind speed component along the conductor direction were calculated. The generalized extreme value model can better reflect the probability distribution of turbulent integral scale based on high wind speed samples. The higher the field observation sample wind speed, the larger the average turbulence integral scale. When the wind speed sample limit is set as 8m/s and 20m/s, the difference between the average turbulence integral scale is 22.5%. The average turbulence integral scale with high wind speed samples above 20m/s is 106.96m, which is 2.1 times of the 50m specified by DL/T 5551-2018, and the wind load acting on the wires increases by about 6.1%. The wind load on the wires in the high-altitude plain landform may be underestimated.
Aiming at the problems of pressure pulsation and vibration impact in large flow tandem pumps, a vibration reduction and noise reduction approach with variable phase angle for tandem external gear pumps is proposed. The mathematical equations for the instantaneous flow rate and pulsation non-uniformity coefficient of tandem external gear pumps are derived. The instantaneous flow pulsation of tandem external gear pumps with different phase angles is theoretically analyzed, and the variation law of pulsation non-uniformity coefficient when changing phase angle is analyzed. The relationship between flow pulsation and pressure pulsation is derived. For tandem pumps with actual phase differences of 0 ° and 20 °, the double throttle valve is installed at the outlet of the tandem pump to obtain pressure pulsation under different operating conditions. The derived pressure pulsation is consistent with the experimental values. The pressure pulsation is composed of a series of i-th harmonics, with the same frequency as the flow pulsation, but different amplitudes and phases. And the experimental results showed that the pressure pulsation rate of the 20 ° phase angle tandem pump decreased by 34.05% compared to 0 °. The 20 ° phase angle tandem pump can reduce the vibration amplitude at most frequencies at 0 ° phase angle. Changing the phase angle of a tandem pump can reduce the vibration amplitude caused by fluid pulsation, and the variable phase angle does not have an impact on the outlet flow rate of the tandem pump.
The large-span photovoltaic support structure is light and flexible, and is vulnerable to wind-induced aeroelastic effects. In order to study the aerodynamic damping characteristics of this structure, an aeroelastic model wind tunnel test was carried out to a typical large-span flexible photovoltaic support structure with module inclination of 0° and 10° under different wind speeds and pretensions. Based on the aeroelastic test results, empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and variational modal decomposition (VMD) combined with the improved random reduction method (RDT) were used to identify the aerodynamic damping ratio of photovoltaic structure under different wind speeds and directions, module inclinations, and cable pretensions. The study results show that the aerodynamic damping ratio is sensitive to the change of wind direction angle. When the module has an inclination of 10°, the aerodynamic damping of a large-span photovoltaic structure shows a negative value under the windward wind azimuth of 180°. Increase of pretension may lead to decrease of aerodynamic damping ratio of a horizontally installed module under a high wind speed. The aerodynamic damping ratio generally decreases with the increase of wind speed, it basically shows positive values under low wind speeds but may become negative under high wind speeds. Although the aerodynamic damping ratios identified by different methods were not the same, both of them show consistent variation pattern of aerodynamic damping.
The smart aggregate based on piezoelectric stacks is a new type of transducer, which usually use piezoelectric stacks as the core element. Compared with traditional smart aggregates, it has superior electromechanical coupling performance, which can effectively improve the accuracy and reliability of structural damage diagnosis and has important application prospects in the field of structural health monitoring. However, the current study mainly focused on the device design and theoretical modeling, the device performance based on electromechanical admittance needs to be further evaluated. A temperature-sensitive experiment was designed to analyze the variation of the resonant frequencies of the device under temperature gradient; a 28-day water immersion experiment was carried out to plot the variation of the resonant frequencies of the device with the number of water immersion days; three soil specimens with dimensions of 200 mm 200 mm 200 mm were prepared, and the devices were embedded into the soil specimens to conduct water content monitoring experiment. The water contents of the soil specimens were monitored by the quantitative indicators under different water contents. The results show that the resonance frequencies of the smart aggregates based on piezoelectric stacks decrease linearly with the increase of temperature; the maximum shift of the resonance frequencies do not exceed 10% during 28 days of water immersion, indicating good stability; the quantitative indicators calculated based on admittance signals all increase with the increasing moisture content of the soil specimens, which can effectively monitor the changes in soil moisture content.
Unsupervised domain adaptation methods have become an important approach for bearing fault diagnosis under multiple operating conditions. However, existing multi-source unsupervised domain adaptation methods often ignore the contribution of signals from different perspectives to cross-domain fault diagnosis, thus failing to comprehensively represent the fault characteristics of bearings. Additionally, these methods often encounter discrepancies of the prediction results from different source domains for the same target domain task. To address these issues, a time-frequency features fused multi-source unsupervised domain adaptation (TFFMUDA) method is proposed for bearing fault diagnosis. TFFMUDA takes both time-domain and frequency-domain signals as inputs, which interact through a feature coupling mechanism. Meanwhile, the diagnostic consistency of different source domains for the same target domain is guaranteed through classifier alignment strategy. Experimental results on a real bearing fault case demonstrate that the proposed method achieves clearer decision boundaries for fault classes and exhibits improved accuracy for bearing fault diagnosis compared to existing domain adaptation methods.
Traditional force correction iterative hybrid test method uses a fixed model for restoring force correction, it has the problem of insufficient model accuracy causing increase in iteration rounds. Here, aiming at this problem, a force correction iterative hybrid test method based on adaptive model was proposed. This method could use restoring force correction values of all iteration rounds and true restoring force of physical substructure in each iteration round to build an adaptive model for iterating restoring force correction, and improve iteration’s convergence speed and accuracy. Taking a single-layer frame viscous damper seismic reduction structure as an example, effects of different weight distribution coefficients and initial model parameters on iteration convergence speed and accuracy were analyzed. Effects of structural natural vibration periods on this method were analyzed through separately verifying structures with different natural vibration periods. The results showed that different weight distribution coefficients and model parameters more largely affect iteration convergence speed and accuracy; when the weight distribution coefficient is 0.025 and the initial model parameter is 0.80, the proposed method’s iteration convergence speed and accuracy are much higher than those of traditional force correction iterative hybrid test method; the force correction iterative hybrid test method based on adaptive model has much better convergence speed and accuracy than traditional force correction iterative hybrid test method in different single-layer frame structures; for structures with a natural vibration period less than 1.0 s, the proposed method has more obvious advantages.
The wind damage loss of low-rise building envelopes in typhoon-prone areas of Chinese coastal areas is worthy of attention. Based on the typhoon process, the vulnerability of low-rise building envelopes to multiple factors such as wind-induced internal and external pressures, debris impact, and structural resistance was investigated. A debris impact probability model was established for typical low-rise building scenarios, which can effectively consider practical factors such as wind direction, wind speed, the height and spacing of buildings, as well as the take-off position of the debris. The results show that it is necessary to consider the typhoon process in the wind damage vulnerability analysis of low-rise building envelopes. Typhoons with similar extreme wind speeds may also cause large differences in extreme damage to buildings. The occurrence times of extreme damage generally lag behind the moments of extreme wind speed, and the duration of extreme damage is related to the duration of typhoon. Compared with the previous models, the debris impact probability model newly established is more applicable to the typical low-rise building scenarios in Chinese coastal areas.
The behaviors of nonlinear aeroelasitc system show limit cycle oscillations under smooth airflow and irregular, nonlinear, randomly varying oscillations under the turbulence. A fractional-order direct adaptive controller (FDAC) based on output feedback is proposed to suppress the vibration of nonlinear aeroelastic system under wind disturbance. First, the FDAC is designed based on fractional calcus and direct adaptive control theory. Then, the appropriate range of fractional order parameters are deduced. The advantage of FDAC on aeroelastic control and disturbance rejection is theoretically analyzed, compared with integral order direct adaptive controller (DAC). The stability of proposed controller is proved by Kalman-Yacubovich lemma. Simulation results reveal that the proposed FDAC can significantly improve the performance of vibration control and disturbance rejection, under large and random wind disturbance for nonlinear aeroelastic system. The simulation results also verify the theoretical inclusions.
To study the service status and fatigue life of stitch wire, research was conducted on the stitch wire breaking in high-speed railway contact networks, and fatigue research was conducted. Based on the design parameters of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high speed railway, a dynamic simulation model of the pantograph and catenary was constructed to analyze the vibration state of the stitch wire at speed of 300km/h. Due to the lifting effect of the pantograph on the contact suspension during operation, the stitch wire mainly vibrates in the vertical direction and continuously bears alternating bending loads at the clamp position. Stitch wire were established in UG and the solid model was imported into LS-DYNA, and the refined model was subjected to stress load calculation; the stress concentration position of the stitch wire is located at the connection with clamp. Import stress history data into ANSYS nCode DesignLife to analyze the fatigue life of stitch wire under bending loads; finally, based on the Miner cumulative damage principle, the fatigue life of the stitch wire of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high speed railway at speed of 300km/h was calculated to be 4.58×106; the operating speed increases to 350km/h, and the fatigue life is 1.17×106; speed increased to 400km/h, fatigue life is 4.80×105.
As one of the basic engineering units, elastic beam systems are widely used in various fields, including architecture, aerospace, ocean engineering, and others.It is of great engineering significance to control the vibration level of elastic beam systems.To reveal the potential application of double-coupling nonlinear oscillators(DCNO) in the vibration control of double-beam systems, a dynamic behavior prediction model of double-beam systems with DCNOs was established, where the Lagrange method was used to predict the dynamic behavior of the double-beam system.On the basis of ensuring the correctness of the numerical results, the typical operating mode of the DCNO was studied, and the influence of the DCNO parameters on the dynamic behavior of the double-beam system was discussed.The results show that the introduction of the DCNOs can effectively realize the synchronous vibration control of each substructure of the double-beam system.On the one hand, when the DCNO is in the multi-frequency linear/nonlinear vibration control mode, the vibration of each sub-beam in the main resonance region of the double-beam system is effectively suppressed.Additionally, the multi-frequency nonlinear vibration control mode excites the complicated vibration responses of the double-beam system, resulting in the unidirectional transmission of vibration energy in time domain between elastic beams and DCNOs.On the other hand, according to the vibration control requirements, the working mode and vibration control effect of DCNOs can be realized by adjusting its core control parameters.Setting appropriate core control parameters for DCNOs is conducive to enhancing the vibration control effect of the DCNOs on the main resonance region of the double-beam system.
In order to optimize forcing cone structures and analyze the dynamic characteristics of the engraving process under different forcing cone structures of a small caliber gun, established an internal ballistic equation system considering changes in projectile resistance and introduced it into finite element solution via using the vuamp subroutine to achieve the coupling calculation model of internal ballistics calculation and finite element simulation in the engraving process. The feasibility of the model was verified through simulation analysis of the full barrel motion of the projectile. Simulated and analyzed the velocity, acceleration, and resistance curves and variation patterns of the projectile during the engraving process under different forcing cone taper, rifling depth, and concave line width. The result indicates that the influence of slope chamber taper on the projectile's dynamic parameters during the extrusion process is not monotonic, while the changes in rifling depth and concave line width monotonically affect the projectile's dynamic parameters. This method can provide reference and guidance for the design and optimization of gun barrel structures and bearing band.
Launch vehicle sea launch is a complex and nonlinear system. With relative motion between the launch vehicle and frame-type launcher, nonlinear and discontinuous impact loads between the adapter and guide rail occur at different speeds. Evaluating the strain rate effects of the adapter model is crucial. In this paper, we developed an improved phenomenological macro model based on polyurethane foam experimental data to accurately capture the system dynamics. We established two dynamic models of the sea launch system, one with and one without considering the strain rate effect of the adapter, and studied the dynamic characteristics of the launch vehicle during sea launch under high sea conditions. The results indicate that the strain rate effects have a significant impact on the contact load between the adapter and guide rail and the rolling motion law of the sea launch. This directly affects the safety assessment and design of the rolling limiting device for sea launch. Overall, the research provides important insights into the engineering and theoretical aspects of launch vehicle sea launch, highlighting the requirement to consider the strain rate effects of the adapters in sea launch dynamics modeling and safety assessment.

Aiming at the problem of difficult coordination between body height and suspension damping under complex operating conditions of vehicle air suspension system, a multi-mode switching terminal sliding mode control strategy for composite air suspension was proposed. Considering the effects of suspension system nonlinearity and external disturbances, a nonlinear dynamics model of composite air suspension was established. A multi-mode switching controller was designed to determine the optimal damping control mode under different body heights. An unknown input observer was used to estimate the suspension system state quantity, and a non-singular fast terminal sliding mode controller based on radial basis neural network was designed to control the linear motor output under the corresponding mode of electromagnetic. Finally, the dynamic performance of the suspension under the multi-mode switching terminal sliding mode control strategy was simulated and tested on the bench. The simulation results show that the control strategy can effectively coordinate the body height and suspension damping, and improve the smoothness and stability of the vehicle under complex working conditions. The test results show that compared with the passive suspension, the acceleration of the reed mass of the system is reduced by 32.5% and 33.7% in the time domain and frequency domain respectively, which verifies the effectiveness of the control strategy.
A fault diagnosis method based on Multivariate State Evaluation Technology (MSET) and Correlation Analysis (CA) is proposed to address the issue of abnormal vibration warning and cause diagnosis for turbogenerator rotor in running state. Firstly, the residual error is calculated between the predicted value and the operating value in the current evaluation window based on MSET and Sliding Window Principle.

It has the ability to diagnose multiple faults, which is beneficial for anormal warning and improving the accuracy of diagnosis.
In the field of earthquake engineering, building seismic resilience assessment is a research focus, which holds great significance in guiding designers to enhance the level of structural seismic design and helping managers raise awareness of structural disaster prevention. This study focuses on an existing frame structure located in the 8-degree seismic region (0.30 g). Three perspectives (repair cost, repair time, and personnel loss) were considered while evaluating the seismic resilience of the structure before and after reinforcement based on GB/T 38591-2020 "Standard for seismic resilience assessment of buildings". Furthermore, the economic benefits of the seismic strengthening program by considering the yield rate on reinforcement. The results demonstrate that the employment of viscous dampers and BRB effectively controls the dynamic response of the structure. Notably, there is a maximum drop of 76.9% and 29.8% in the story drift ratio and mean acceleration, respectively. Repair time and personnel loss are two important perspectives that affect the level of seismic resilience under rare earthquakes. The implemented seismic strengthening program greatly increases the structure's seismic resilience, even if the level of seismic resilience is still one star both before and after strengthening. These research findings serve as a valuable reference for the evaluation and improvement of seismic resilience in existing buildings.
In the actual transportation of large power transformer equipment, different degrees of damage often occur under the external action such as wind and wave, so it is necessary to study the dynamic response of the equipment under the most unfavorable environment and discuss the safety of the transportation equipment.Therefore, taking an offshore DC converter valve tower as the research object, the dynamic response of the valve in sea transportation is studied based on its own vibration characteristics. In view of the complex and varied marine transportation environment, many research conditions, and long calculation period of time-frequency analysis, a pseudo-static analysis method is proposed on the basis of power spectrum analysis. The results show that when the ratio of wave frequency to fundamental frequency is less than 0.15, the structural stress response can be obtained directly by pseudo-static method, and the displacement response needs to be amplified by 1.3 times. When the frequency ratio is close to 1, the amplification correction factor of the structural response is linearly correlated with the frequency ratio. The above research provides a basis for the safety assessment and reinforcement of the equipment in marine transportation.
After the cased charge explodes, damage elements such as shock waves and fragments will be generated. Improving the calculation accuracy of damage element power parameters is of great significance for research on weapon destructive effects and engineering protection. In order to improve the calculation accuracy of power parameters of fragments and shock waves, a more accurate calculation formula for the initial velocity of fragment was proposed based on the modified energy conservation equation by analyzing the distribution law of cased charge explosion energy. The equivalent charge mass conversion method was used to calculate the equivalent charge mass of the shock waves generated by the cased charge explosion, by analyzing the formation process of the initial shock wave of the cased charge, a theoretical calculation model of the shock wave power parameters was established, and the scientificity and reliability of the calculation model were verified through experimental data. Through the established theoretical model, the calculation formula for the distance from the detonation source when the two damage elements overlap is derived, and the influencing factors are quantitatively analyzed. Research shows that the accuracy of the calculation method in this paper is better than the traditional calculation method of damage element power parameters, the errors in initial velocity of fragment, the overpressure peak value of shock waves, the arrival time of wave front and the experiment are 3%, 4.9% and 1.1%, respectively. The movement distance when the fragment barrage overlaps with the shock wave front is directly proportional to the explosive energy (detonation heat) and inversely proportional to the casing thickness (charge mass ratio).
Fault diagnosis is of great importance in the domain of rotating machinery, and the development of deep learning and transfer learning has provided new avenues in order to enhance the precision and resilience of fault diagnosis. In the context of fault diagnosis in rotating machinery, an unsupervised domain adaptation transfer learning method based on Domain-Adversarial Neural Network (DANN) and Multiple Kernel Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MK-MMD) is proposed. Firstly, vibration signal data from both the source working condition and the target working condition are gathered and converted into frequency domain signals utilizing the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Then, a ResNeXt-50 feature extractor is constructed, and DANN and MK-MMD methods are employed for feature mapping and domain adaptation, enabling transfer learning from the source working condition to the target working condition. The experimental findings validate that the proposed method enhances the accuracy of fault feature recognition. and exhibits better robustness in transfer experiments across different working conditions.
From an analytical perspective, a numerical model of acoustic black hole beams under random excitation was established for the cantilever beam structure of acoustic black holes (ABH) with truncated thickness, using random loads and four typical load spectra. Fatigue reliability analysis was conducted. The results indicate that the deviation of feature frequency and the accuracy of displacement PSD prediction are within the acceptable error range for engineering applications. The variation of vibration fatigue life in the ABH region varies with different load spectra, and the safest point is the tip position of the ABH beam. The minimum vibration life of a uniform beam is significantly higher than that of an ABH beam. In addition, it is not that the larger the truncation thickness h_0, the smaller the acoustic black hole radius r_ABH, and the safer the ABH beam. This is also related to the random vibration load spectrum, and different types of load spectra have different effects on the variation of beam vibration fatigue life.
During the high-efficiency milling, under the action of high-frequency and intermittent cutting loads, the contact angle and posture between the milling cutter and the workpiece change frequently, making the relative friction and stress waves generated at the tool-workpiece interface dynamically change, leading to difficulty in accurately identifying and predicting friction damage and wear life during high-efficiency milling. A dynamic contact relationship model between the milling cutter and the workpiece under the influence of cutter error and milling vibration was constructed. The frictional force on the flank face of the milling cutter tooth was solved. Based on the one-dimensional string theory, a solution method for calculating the propagation distance, change rate and attenuation rate of frictional stress wave on the flank face of the cutter tooth was proposed. The results show that the stress wave peak value and change rate are greater near the cutting edge. The attenuation process of frictional stress waves in high-efficiency milling cutters shows biased exponential attenuation. The correlation verification results of the stress wave calculation method show that the energy of the feature points on the flank face of the cutter teeth has a correlation of more than 0.8 with the experimental accumulated wear depth, verifying the accuracy of the model.
Due to the low stiffness of serial industrial robots, the robotic milling process is prone to chatter due to the improper selection of processing parameters or robot pose, which will reduce the surface quality of the workpiece and damage the robot equipment.In order to predict the chatter stability of robotic milling, the variation of robot end stiffness along with the spatial pose was studied by constructing the stiffness model of the robot.The dynamic model of the spindle system was constructed, then the influence of the speed effect on the dynamic characteristics of the tool tip was studied, and the mapping function between the spindle speed and the natural frequency of the tool tip was constructed by data fitting method.A robotic milling dynamic model considering the coupling effects between the robot and spindle system was proposed.The damping ratio and modal mass at the tool tip of the robotic milling system were obtained by hammer experiments, and the stability lobe diagram of the robotic milling system considering different factors was obtained.The variation law of milling chatter stability under the coupling effects of the robot-spindle system was revealed and verified by experiments.The results show that the stability lobe diagram obtained when considering the robot-spindle system coupling effects is more consistent with the actual milling state, which can effectively improve the prediction accuracy of robotic milling chatter stability.
The wheel polygon and rail corrugation as typical wheel-rail periodic wear of high-speed railway, aggravate wheel-rail vibration and affect driving safety. In order to explore the interaction under extreme conditions when wheel polygon and rail corrugation coexist, firstly, considering wheel-rail periodic wear of high-speed railway, the finite element model of wheel-rail system is established, and the frequency-dependent wheel-rail periodic wear competition mechanism is explored. Then, from the perspective of frequency-dependent wheel-rail periodic wears, the wheel-rail friction coupling vibration characteristics of wheel-rail periodic wears in the same/different phase contact are compared. Finally, from the perspective of frequency-independent wheel-rail periodic wears, the wheel-rail friction coupling vibration characteristics of the interaction of wheel-rail periodic wear are studied. Results show that under the extreme conditions of the coexistence of frequency-dependent wheel polygon and rail corrugation, the wheel-rail system is the most unstable. The instability of the wheel-rail system will be aggravated when the frequency-dependent wheel-rail periodic wear are in the same phase, and with the increase of wave depth, the difference in wheel-rail friction coupling vibration between the same phase and different phase will be increased. the closer the frequency-independent periodic wear frequency of wheel-rail is, the more obvious the influence on the stability of wheel-rail system is.
A pulse compression based total focusing method using ultrasonic guided wave phased array for defect imaging was proposed. Firstly, under the excitation of a linear frequency modulation signal with a long duration and a large bandwidth, the full matrix capture data for the tested structure was obtained. Then signals were processed by pulse compression technique to compress the long duration wave packets. Next, the virtual time reversal method was used to compensate the dispersion and amplitude to eliminate the phase distortion caused by the large bandwidth and the amplitude reduction caused by the wave diffusion. In such a way, signals without phase distortion and with narrow durations were obtained. Finally, an imaging index including both phase and amplitude information was designed. Experiments were carried out in carbon steel plate with a crack and two defects and the results show that the proposed method can achieve high quality imaging for both defects.

Due to this problem, a parameter optimization design method of the vehicle mechatronic suspension is proposed in this paper based on the electromechanical similarity theory. On the basis of the dynamic model of a half car model with four freedom degrees of vehicle mechatronic suspension considering the vertical motion and the pitch motion during the driving process of the vehicle, this paper explores the improvements of the new vehicle mechatronic suspension employing mechatronic inerter on the dynamic performance of the vehicle. In terms of the multi parameters and multi constraints optimization problem, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the main parameters of three different modes of vehicle mechatronic suspension by considering the positive real of transfer function and the dynamic performance constraints of the suspension, and the mechatronic inerter and the external electric network are used to realize the network passively. Numerical simulations showed that, under the single objective optimized condition, the RMS of vehicle body acceleration and pitch angular acceleration of the new vehicle mechatronic suspension are reduced by 26.5% and 18.3% respectively, and they can decrease by 15.5% and 11.4% simultaneously when taken the two objectives into consideration. The dynamic vibration isolation performance of the proposed vehicle mechatronic suspension is significantly improved compared with the traditional passive suspension, which provides a new idea for the suspension design method.

Metro tunnel borne vibration speed is lower than the administration proposed safety threshold requirement and the design of comprehensive protection system achieved the expected result.
In order to study the efficiency and mechanism of the vibration control of particle dampers in longperiod bridge structures, a 1/20scale bridge model was designed according to a typical asymmetric selfanchored suspension bridge with a singletower, and a multilayer compartmentalparticle damper applied to the scaled test model was proposed. Corresponding shaking table tests of the scaled model with and without particle dampers were conducted. The experimental results show that the multilayer particle damper proposed does not show the phenomenon of particle accumulation in the experiments, and it has a good damping effect on the longitudinal seismic responses of the main beam of the scaled model bridge. It can dramatically reduce the displacement responses and acceleration root mean square responses of the main beam. This type of damper can significantly increase the equivalent damping ratio to reduce the longitudinal vibration of the main beam (in the low frequency vibration direction), and its has a significant tuning effect on the fundamental longitudinal vibration frequency of the main beam; The multilayer compartmental particle damper can effectively control the lowfrequency dynamic responses of longperiod bridges and can be applied to the seismic control of longperiod engineering structures.

A large number of signals collected by mechanical equipment monitoring system are usually nonlinear signals with multiple natural oscillation modes, so the single-scale feature extraction can’t characterize these nonlinear signals. For high dimensional feature matrix, its main lower dimensional features need to be further extracted. Here, to solve these two problems, a nonlinear feature extraction method combining multiscale permutation entropy and linear local tangent space alignment (MPE-LLTSA) was proposed. Firstly, signals were calculated using MPE to obtain multi-scale features with high dimensions. Then, LLTSA was used to excavate the embedded intrinsic structure, and realize low dimensional feature extraction. Finally, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) was introduced to train and recognize low dimensional features. The test results showed that the proposed method has application potential in fields of mechanical pattern classification and fault recognition.

The results show this new method could enhance the separability of different failure modes, and discriminate the normal, inner ring fault, outer ring fault and roller fault signals distinctly.

Based on the two-way fluid structure coupling theory, the numerical model of tuned liquid damper (TLD) and multi-layer multi-modal platform structure was established in this paper. The effects of TLD damping frequency and installation height on the first two resonant modes of multi-layer structure were systematically studied. The damping force has been quantified by numerical method. Combined with the phase delay relationship of sloshing wave and platform motion, the damping characteristics of TLD on multi-layer multi-modal platform structure were analyzed. The results show that the control effect of different installation positions of TLD is related to the maximum vibration mode of the corresponding mode of the structure. The damping frequency band of TLD can be widened by the frequency doubling excitation generated in the sloshing process. In addition, keeping the mass ratio of 2% unchanged, the multi-TLD system has a more stable vibration reduction effect on the multi-layer structure without local negative excitation. The average vibration reduction ratio at the two resonance points is better than that of other schemes.
A sound-absorbing structure of composite grid sandwich which is resistant to hydrostatic pressure is proposed. The grid spaces are filled with polyurethane matrix. The soft rubber coated iron ball is embedded in the matrix as a local resonance scatterer unit. The sound absorption performances of the structure under normal pressure and 3MPa static pressure are stable after compared by finite element method. The sound absorption mechanism was analyzed through discussing the relationship between sound absorption coefficient, average energy dissipation, the displacement and energy dissipation density fields. Finally, the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the broadband sound absorption performance of the structure. After optimization, the average sound absorption performance is increased by 150% and reaches 0.99 at a low frequency point where the thickness of the structure is less than λ/14, so that the small sized structure is realized to control the low frequency sound waves. It is expected to realize low-frequency broadband sound absorption design by adding more materials and structural parameters in the optimization model or filling different grid spaces with sound absorption microstructures that work at different low frequency points.
In order to study relationship between vibration characteristics of urban rail elastic vehicle body and under-vehicle equipment, a rigid-flexible coupled multi-body dynamic model for the equivalent Euler beam vehicle body with under-vehicle equipment was established using the modal superposition method.Vibration responses of the vehicle body’s middle part and the upper one on the vehicle bogie were analyzed under various different operating conditions.The sensitivity of the first-order elastic modal frequency of the vehicle body to the elastic resonance velocity was discussed.Along the whole vehicle length, the coupled vibration relationship between the vehicle body and the under-vehicle equipment was analyzed.The variation of the whole vehicle’s vibration was analyzed to evaluate the stability of the vehicle at last.The results showed that elastic suspension of under-vehicle equipment can effectively suppress vibration of the entire vehicle body; from the view point of suppressing the entire vehicle body vibration, it is necessary to symmetrically install the equipment under the middle of the vehicle body, and choose different elastic suspension devices for under-vehicle equipment with different mass; the vehicle body’s elastic vibration is greatly affected by the resonance speed, vehicle operation under non-resonant speed can effectively avoid the overall vehicle elastic resonance and improve passengers’ comfort; the study results provide a reference for reducing elastic vibration of urban rail vehicles, improving passengers’ comfort, reasonably locating under-vehicle equipment and appropriately choosing its elastic suspension devise.
A finite element model of half steel plate-concrete composite slabs (Half-SC slabs) under impact action was established using LS-DYNA. The accuracy of the model was verified based on the available test results. The effects of the impactor mass, the impact velocity, and the steel plate thickness on the displacement response of Half-SC slabs were further analyzed. On this basis, the resistance and stiffness equations of the Half-SC slabs were derived. The resistance function of the Half-SC slabs was proposed. Thus, an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom model for calculating the displacement response of the Half-SC slabs was established. The results show that the damage process of Half-SC slabs under impact can be divided into three stages such as the elastic stage, the concrete cracking stage, and the horizontal reinforcement fracture stage. The impact velocity has the greatest influence on the displacement response of the Half-SC slabs, followed by the impactor mass and the steel plate thickness. The proposed equivalent single degree of freedom model can accurately predict the displacement time histories of Half-SC slabs.
In this paper, the vibration control of vehicle with different shift time based on a semi-active hydraulic damping strut (HDS) is researched on how to reduce the shift time of vehicle in situ shift without increasing the shock and vibration of the vehicle. Firstly, the experimental and theoretical acceleration values of the active side of the engine mount and torque strut are compared and analyzed and the error is less than 20%, which verifies the effectiveness of the 13-DOFs vehicle dynamics model. Secondly, the semi-active HDS in the mounting system can effectively reduce the shock and vibration in the process of in situ shift quickly according to the dynamic response analysis and experimental test. Finally, the dynamic response characteristics of the vehicle with different shift time are analyzed by combining theory and test. The results showed that the shift shock and vibration caused by in-situ shift are mainly transmitted to the vehicle through the transmission mount and the torque strut. The transmission mount is insensitive to the increase of the damping of the mounting system, and the engine mount is insensitive to the vibration of the powertrain. The introduction of semi-active HDS in the powertrain mounting system can reduce the in-situ shift time and fuel consumption.
Key words:in situ shift; shift time; shock and vibration; semi-active hydraulic damping strut; vibration control
As non-structural members, masonry infill walls are often neglected in the blast-resistant analysis of structures. However, serious damage occurs to masonry infill walls in explosion accidents, which affects the propagation of blast wave, its interaction with structures and the degree of damage to the structure. This paper aims to evaluate the effect of masonry infill walls on damage and failure of RC frame structure under external blast loadings based on refined numerical simulation approach. Firstly, the finite element software LS-DYNA is used to reproduce the near-range explosion tests of typical masonry infill walls and masonry-infilled RC frame, which verifies the applicability of the simplified micro-modelling approach, material models and parameters, as well as the blast loading applied approach based on Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) and the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) algorithm. Furthermore, combined with the structural hybrid element modelling approach, the numerical simulation was carried out on the dynamic behavior of the typical 6-story bare and masonry-infilled RC frame structure with 6-, 7- and 8-degrees seismic precautionary intensities under the explosion of sedan bomb (454kg equivalent TNT specified by Federal Emergency Management Agency) at the bottom edge column. The propagation of blast wave, as well as dynamic response, damage pattern and collapse-resistance mechanism of the structures were examined. It derives that: the masonry infill walls can effectively block the inward propagation of blast wave and reduce the peak overpressure on the adjacent internal column by 95%, and thus relieve the damage degree of the internal structural members. However, the structural damage at the head-on blast face is aggravated, e.g., compared with bare frame, the horizontal displacements of target column in masonry-infilled RC frame with three seismic precautionary intensities increase by 21.4%, 31.1% and 14.8%, respectively. The vertical displacement of target column at top floor in the bare and masonry-infilled RC frame with different seismic precautionary intensity is basically same. Therefore, the effects of seismic design and masonry infill walls on the overall collapse behavior of structures can be ignored under the external explosion of sedan bomb.
The fully coupled aero-servo-hydro-elastic-linear foundation simulation tool is developed based on the recompiled FAST-SC-SSI, and the coupled linear spring is applied to simulate the soil-structure interactions (SSI). The reference offshore wind turbines is designed according to the NREL 5-MW baseline wind turbine and a monopile foundation. The parameters of tuned mass damper (TMD) in nacelle are designed based on the dynamic characteristics of monopile OWT with rigid and flexible boundaries. Reductions of the structural responses in the time and frequency domains are adopted to reveal the vibration control mechanisms of TMD and evaluate the influence of SSI on the TMD mitigation effects. Based on the performed investigations, it can be seen the significant influence of SSI on the reductions of structural responses, which should be emphasized in the design of TMDs for OWTs.
Based on the shock initiation of explosive—Lee-Tarver ignition and growth model,a three-dimensional numerical model was developed using the finite difference code AUTODYN to simulate the processes of jet penetrating and detonating a “sandwich” ERA(explosive reactive armor),and an explosive pressure driven flyer plate incising a jet.Aiming at three influence factors in-cluding flyer plate thickness,interlayer charge thickness and jet inclined angle,the evaluating indicators of jet disturbing efficiency were determined.By means of the orthogonal statistical test method,the parametric sensitivity of the evaluating indicators of jet disturbing efficiency was studied.Results demonstrated that jet inclined angle is the main influence factor,jet’s lateral momentum,jet tip velocity and the time of jet penetrating back plate are significantly affected by jet inclined angle,the relationship between jet inclined angle and evaluating indicators is positively correlated; flyer plate thickness is the second main influence factors, it affects all evaluating indicators evidently; interlayer charge thickness’s influence on jet tip velocity has no obvious regularity,and has also few influence on the time of jet penetrating back plate.
Under suitable conditions, strong earthquake can cause surface rupture and damage to projects.Avoiding a surface rupture zone caused by seismogenic fault is one of important contents of project site selection.Here, based on the geotechnical centrifugal simulation technology, the process of reverse fault dislocation was successfully simulated in 100g centrifugal field, and surface deformation evolution characteristics of 40 m thick dry sand and wet sand sites during bedrock having different dislocations were obtained.According to test results, the surface deformation process was divided into 4 stages including whole uplift stage, uplift deformation one, scarp translation one and deformation mitigation lag one.Finally, the recommended value of ground surface rupture avoidance distance for strong earthquakes was given.It was shown that the test study and related results here have important theoretical and practical significance for understanding and studying the deformation of soil body caused by dislocation of hidden reverse fault and determining the avoidance distance of surface rupture of seismogenic fault.

Under multi-axis complex vibration environment, an electrical connector structure may be loose to affect electrical contact performance of its electrical appliances and cause failure of equipment function.Here, in order to explore mechanical characteristics of electrical connector in loosening process under multi-axis random vibration environment, a model of electrical connector in missile electronic cabin was established.The change time history of contact pressure in pin’s withdrawing process during it being loose relative to pinhole was simulated under random vibration environment, and the stress evolution mechanism in loosening process of electrical connector was revealed.Through comparing stress varying trend under triaxial random vibration and that under uniaxial random vibration, according to differences of three intervals, looseness characteristics of electrical connector under triaxial vibration were compared with those under uniaxial vibration, and a triaxial vibration stress screening method for connector looseness was provided.The mapping relationship between stress and resistance of electrical connector was derived by using R.Holm expression for relation between contact resistance and contact pressure, and the monitoring of contact stress between pin and pinhole was converted into monitoring of contact resistance to solve the technical problem of dynamic stress inside pinhole being difficult to measure.
In order to study shock absorber technology with rigid-flexible combination for tunnel opening section in high intensity seismic areas, taking the entrance section of Bai-yunding tunnel as a background, large-scale shaking table model tests were conducted to study peak acceleration of ground motion, longitudinal strain, contact stress and structural internal forces through analysing test data. The test results showed that only taking structural strengthening measures, the growth percentage of structure safety factor minimum value of the whole tunnel opening section is between 30%—65%; only setting a shock absorption gap, that is between 40%—55%; the shock absorption gap has an obvious action to reduce forced displacements, and its shock absorption effect is obvious; taking the shock absorber technology with rigid-flexible combination, the growth percentage of structure safety factor minimum value of the whole tunnel opening section is between 85%—145% and its action is remarkable to resist earthquake motion and reduce forced displacements, the shock absorption effect is the best. The study results provided a reference for improving the aseismic performance of transportation tunnels in high intensity seismic areas.
Accurate measurement of blade vibration with the use of fewer sensors and more compact installation space is indispensable for engineering applications. Based on the measurement method of BTT, the combination of the nonlinear least squares fitting and GARIV method is proposed and experimentally studied to identify the synchronous vibration parameters of blade. A high-speed straight blade test bench was established (the maximum speed is 45000rpm, and the blade tip velocity is 322.8m/s). In the experimental study, the parameter identification of synchronous vibration of blade is completed and the Campbell diagram of blade vibration is accurately plotted under the excitation of six magnets. Meanwhile, the experimental study and analysis on the harmonic vibration of blade with different numbers of excitation. The deviation of the dynamic frequency of blade between experimental result and simulation result is less than 6%. This method can provide a technical approach for blade fault early warming and non-contact measurement of dynamic stress.

The water supply network has a large number of branch pipes. The fluid flow state changes under the action of the branch joint, which produces a fluid noise. This branch flow-induced noise couples with the leak sound signal through the pipe wall. Aiming at the leak location under the interference of branch flow-induced noise. The proposed C-EFastICA algorithm based on EFastICA, which expanded the cost function, constraint function, and iteration rules of the instantaneous linear EFastICA technology in the time domain to the complex-valued domain. Because the algorithm can adaptively select the nonlinear function g to establish the cost function and iterative learning rules according to the generalized Gaussian characteristics of the signal, it has a higher separation precision for signal decomposition. The experiments show that the relative error of the obtained leak source signal with C-EFastICA is less than 12%, which is lower than the traditional C-FastICA algorithm.
