The impact vibration test is widely used in modal analysis, because of its convenience, low cost, and efficiency in identifying multiple modes with a single impact.To achieve efficient and accurate estimation and uncertainty quantification of modal parameters in the impact test, a fast Bayesian fast Fourier transform method was proposed.The likelihood function was first developed based on the equation of motion and the complex normal assumption of measurement error, and the Laplace approximation was then adopted to obtain the posterior distribution of modal parameters, i.e., fitting the posterior distribution with a Gaussian distribution, whose mean was computed by minimizing the negative log likelihood function (NLLF) while the covariance matrix was obtained by taking the inverse of the Hessian matrix of NLLF at the posterior mean.A coordinate descent algorithm was proposed to minimize the NLLF taking advantage of the analytical gradient of NLLF.The Hessian matrix was obtained via the calculus of complex matrix, allowing an efficient implementation.Finally, the performance of the proposed method was validated through synthetic and laboratory data.A comparison with the methods based on free and ambient vibration tests was also provided, respectively.
In mine operations and natural gas transportation operations, the shock wave and flame wave caused by methane explosion bring great harm.In order to reduce the damage caused by explosion to the life and property safety, the fillability of Fe-nickel foam and powder combination was utilized in a self-built pipe network system.The optimal combination of foamed iron-nickel and powder was obtained through the explosion suppression experiment in the pipe network.The mechanism of NH4H2PO4 microsuppression of methane explosion was analyzed by using the pyrolytic characteristics of powder and by Materials Studio analysis.The experimental results show that the combination of 30-ppi foamy Fe-Ni and 70 gNH4H2PO4 powder can effectively inhibit the methane explosion in the pipe network, and the peak methane explosion pressure can decrease by up to 82.5%.The flame propagation speed of each branch is reduced to 10.01 m/s, 10.99 m/s, 11.78 m/s and 9.78 m/s respectively.The peak temperature of each branch can be reduced to 359 K, 341 K, 324 K, and 337 K respectively.The mechanism of this combination to inhibit methane explosion is mainly reflected in the endothermic reaction of the two, and the chemical inhibition is reflected in the decomposition of a large number of active groups such as NH3•, NH2• and NH• when heated to capture the key free radicals in the methane explosion, reducing the concentration of free radicals required for the methane explosion process.
As a novel type of pulsed water jet, the pressurized pulsed water jet has the advantages of large amplitude pressurization, controllable jet parameters, and high energy utilization rate, which shows broad application prospects in the field of hard rock fragmentation. To improve the rock fragmentation performance of the jet, a pressurized pulsed water jet generation system developed by ourselves was used to conduct the granite fragmentation experiments. Based on three-dimensional morphological scanning technology, a precise macroscopic performance expression method of rock fragmentation was proposed to explore the effects laws of different process parameters on rock fragmentation performance, and the mechanism of fine-grained fracture and damage distribution was revealed. The results show that there is a clear step-like increase in the rock fragmentation performance parameters when the jet pressure is 60 MPa, the rock fragmentation performance parameters drop sharply when the target distance is greater than 100 mm, and the rock fragmentation performance parameters reach the maximum when the nozzle diameter is 0.5 mm. The granite forms a crack network composed of "primary cracks, radial cracks, and derived cracks" under the impact of the jet. The crater is in the shape of a spoon, with a large entrance area and a shallow depth, and the failure mode is sheet-like detachment caused by the expansion of internal fractures. Meanwhile, the jet's damage and destruction to the rock has a local effect, as the depth increases, the overall damage area distribution range remains basically unchanged, and the dense damage region and damage degree decrease rapidly. The research results provide theoretical support for the engineering application of pressurized pulsed water jet for hard rock fragmentation.
To investigate the mechanical properties and damage evolution mechanisms of limestone under cyclic loading, a series of laboratory experiments, theoretical analyses, and numerical simulations were conducted. Initially, single and constant-amplitude cyclic impact tests on limestone were performed using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. Based on the Weibull damage theory, a dynamic load-induced damage evolution model was developed. Additionally, numerical simulations of cyclic blasting on limestone were carried out using ANSYS/LSDYNA. The results indicate that, under a single impact, an increase in impact pressure leads to an elevation in peak stress and yield strain of the limestone. Under cyclic impacts, as the impact pressure rises from 0.15 MPa to 0.30 MPa, the number of impacts required to fracture the specimens decreases gradually, from 13 to 3. With an increasing number of impacts, the yield strain of the specimens increases, while the elastic modulus and peak stress decrease, ultimately leading to failure when the cumulative damage approaches unity. As the number of blasting events increases, the crushing zone around the blast holes in the model expands, the main cracks continue to propagate, and damage accumulates. The damage variable defined in this study achieves a comprehensive and unified description of the entire process of cumulative damage evolution under cyclic impact loading. The rock damage expression established under blasting loads effectively reveals the distribution characteristics of rock damage during a single blasting event, aligning with the theoretical framework of engineering blasting and providing valuable insights for engineering blasting operations.
In order to explore the effect of reticular polymer material on gasoline-air mixture explosion suppression of horizontal storage tank, a horizontal storage tank experiment system (L/D≈3.1, V=1000L) was designed and built. The law of the effect of filling rate of explosion suppression material on gasoline-air mixture explosion characteristic parameters was analyzed, and the mechanism of explosion suppression material on gasoline-air mixture explosion was explored. The results show that the explosive power of the horizontal tank is significantly weakened, the flame propagation is retarded, and the flame propagation speed decreases after the filling of the mesh polymer material. With the increase of filling rate, the maximum explosion overpressure, the average pressure boost rate and the explosion power index gradually decrease, and the arrival time of the maximum overpressure gradually prolongates. In the process of flame propagation in the explosion suppression material, Due to the influence of "cold wall effect", "wall effect" and material thermal decomposition, the development process of oil and gas explosion is inhibited.
This article integrates theories of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and rotor dynamics to establish a mathematical model for the pressure field, temperature field, and characteristic parameters of hybrid bearings under shock loads. The finite difference method and Euler method are used to calculate and analyze the impact of shock loads on the thermal fluid performance of bearings. The results show that the axis trajectory of the hybrid bearings after being subjected to shock is a closed curve, and the parameters such as bearing capacity show a sinusoidal variation trend. Shock loads with opposite directions and equal amplitudes make the bearing capacity and axis trajectory of the hybrid bearing show a symmetrical variation trend. For every 120N increase in shock amplitude, the peak value of horizontal bearing capacity change increases by about 33%-47%, and the peak value of vertical bearing capacity change increases by about 1.9%-2.3%; When the shock parameters or structural parameters of the bearing change, the minimum oil film thickness of the bearing changes significantly. For example, for every 120N increase in shock amplitude, the minimum oil film thickness changes by about 0.3 μ m; The maximum oil film pressure, which takes into account the thermal effect, is reduced by about 2% compared to the results of the isothermal model, the minimum oil film thickness is reduced by about 7%. The initial position of the axis trajectory changes significantly, but the trend of parameter changes remains basically unchanged.
In order to solve the shortcomings of low optimization efficiency and limited search range of traditional aerodynamic measures optimization methods for bridge sections, a wind tunnel test-driven aerodynamic shape optimization method for main girder sections is proposed, which combines Kriging surrogate model and multi-point search strategy. The aerodynamic shape of the new box girder section of the 2000 m suspension bridge is optimized in the multi-parameter design space composed of the horizontal plate width L of the inverted L-shaped deflector, the height H of the lower central stabilizer and the track position J of the maintenance vehicle. Firstly, the improved Latin hypercube experimental design method is used to obtain the initial sample points in the design space, and the flutter critical wind speed of the initial sample is obtained by wind tunnel test. Then, the initial Kriging surrogate model of design parameters and flutter critical wind speed is established. Then, the update point update proxy model is added using the newly proposed parallel add-point criterion. Finally, the design parameters of the best section matching of flutter performance are obtained by optimization, and the correctness of the optimization results is verified by wind tunnel test. The results show that the Kriging surrogate model combined with the multi-point search strategy optimizes the aerodynamic shape of the bridge section, which significantly improves the optimization efficiency. The flutter critical wind speed of the optimal section is 51 % higher than that of the original section, and 13 % higher than that of the inverted L-shaped baffle alone. The horizontal plate width L of the inverted L-shaped deflector has the most significant influence on the flutter performance.
As a typical system for electromagnetic levitation, the maglev ball requires an accurate theoretical model for precise control. Therefore, a system identification method based on a revised electromagnetic force formula and an IMC-PID controller is proposed, which effectively improves the accuracy of the theoretical model and the efficiency of parameter tuning. Firstly, the derivation process of the electromagnetic force formula is analyzed, and an electromagnetic simulation model is established. The formula for the electromagnetic force-levitation gap and bias current is revised. Secondly, by collecting the response of the actual current to the sinusoidal target signal, the relationship between the bias current and the levitation gap under the same electromagnetic force is obtained. The above steps are performed using steel balls of different masses, thus the relationship between the levitation gap and the bias current under different electromagnetic forces is obtained. The revised formula is used for fitting, resulting in the specific values of the parameters for the physical system of the maglev ball. Combining the dynamic equations, the levitation gap and bias current at the equilibrium point are defined as displacement and control current, respectively. The displacement stiffness, current stiffness, and precise transfer function of the maglev ball system are derived. Finally, based on the internal model control theory, an IMC-PID controller is designed. All PID parameters are calculated through a single parameter, and control simulation and experimental verification are carried out. The experimental results show that the theoretical model obtained from system identification matches the response of the physical system highly, verifying the accuracy of the system identification results. The IMC-PID controller also significantly improves the efficiency of parameter tuning.
Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is a crucial contributor to the fatigue damage of slender marine structures such as offshore risers and wellhead and must be accounted for during design. Currently, engineering methods that predict VIV for such structures commonly rely on VIV databases for cylinders but fail to account for surface defects resulting from factors such as corrosion. Therefore, resulting predictions may overlook the magnification effect of vibration caused by surface defects, leading to an underestimation of structural vibration amplitude and fatigue damage. To address this issue, a model experiment was conducted to analyze the flow-induced vibration response characteristics of defective cylinders with varying defect depths and incoming flow angles. The results showed that the modal properties of the defective cylinder were complex, exhibiting several modes such as galloping, VIV, and resonance modes. Surface defects can induce galloping vibration mode and significantly increase the cylinder's vibration amplitude, up to a maximum of 7.5 times. Furthermore, at an attack angle of 0°, the defective cylinder demonstrated the highest amplitude and largest resonance range, while at an attack angle approaching α=90°, the amplitude of the defective cylinder sharply decreased and was lower than that of the intact cylinder. Surface defects can also suppress vortex vibration modes, thereby suppressing galloping. The cylinder had the maximum galloping amplitude at a defect depth of 7.5%. In addition, surface defects can also lead to an increase in the range of resonance flow velocity.
Piezoelectric smart aggregates are intelligent devices with excellent force-electric coupling performance and have been widely applied in structural health monitoring within the civil engineering field. However, current research primarily focuses on the driving and sensing characteristics of these devices, while their energy harvesting capabilities have not been extensively studied. Additionally, when these devices are embedded in concrete structures or soil, they may be subjected to sulfate attack, which could impact their performance. Despite this, research on the resistance of these devices to sulfate attack is still limited. Therefore, this study focuses on the stacked piezoelectric smart aggregate. Initially, the energy harvesting characteristics of the device under harmonic load and rail-sleeper force were tested. Subsequently, a 121-day experiment was conducted in a sodium sulfate solution to simulate sulfate attack, and the energy harvesting characteristics and load-bearing capacity of the device were assessed after the sulfate attack. The results indicate that stacked piezoelectric smart aggregates exhibit excellent energy harvesting performance, though they are significantly affected by sulfate attack. Even after the sulfate attack, the devices maintain favorable conductance characteristics and demonstrate strong load-bearing capacity, with all load capacities exceeding 75kN.
To investigate the impact of chord length distribution patterns on the performance of high-specific-speed axial-flow pumps, this study selected three common chord length distribution methods. Taking a high-specific-speed axial-flow pump with a specific speed of approximately 1200 as the benchmark, the study maintained consistent specific speed and disk ratio. Based on an automatic optimization design platform, the study conducted optimization research on the impeller of axial-flow pumps with different chord length distribution patterns and compared their external characteristics and cavitation performance. The research results indicate that, compared with the original design, the impellers optimized with linear chord length distribution and linear cascade density distribution exhibit minor differences in external characteristics. The distribution pattern with reduced chord length at the blade tip can effectively enhance impeller efficiency under design flow rate and high flow rate conditions. In this distribution, the maximum chord length is located near 0.7 times the impeller diameter. However, this distribution also results in a decrease in impeller efficiency under low flow rate conditions, primarily due to increased leakage flow intensity in the blade tip clearance under low flow rates. Furthermore, under low flow rate and design flow rate conditions, the pump designed with the reduced chord length at the blade tip has a larger critical cavitation margin, whereas the opposite is true under high flow rate conditions. Nevertheless, during severe cavitation, the blade surface of the impeller with reduced chord length at the blade tip exhibits a smaller vapor bubble area, which improves pump performance under severe cavitation conditions to some extent. This study reveals the influence of different chord length distribution patterns on the performance of axial-flow pump impellers, and the results can provide reference for the optimization design of similar rotating machinery.
The health monitoring of bridge structures is crucial in ensuring traffic safety, extending service life, and improving operational and maintenance efficiency. However, the existing bridge monitoring methods still require improvements in measurement performance, cost, and efficiency. To address this, research is conducted on the application of a novel non-contact microwave full-field vibration measurement method for lightweight bridge monitoring. The hardware architecture of the microwave full-field vibration measurement system is outlined, along with the sensing principles of full-field multi-target recognition and vibration displacement extraction. Leveraging the advantages of microwave full-field vibration measurement, a lightweight bridge monitoring method is established from three aspects: equipment, sensing, and data. A microwave-based measurement technique for multi-span deflection and multi-cable tension in the full field of the bridge is proposed. A linear slide vibration measurement experiment was conducted under different conditions to verify the effectiveness of microwave full-field vibration measurement in suppressing multi-target coupling interference compared to traditional microwave vibration measurement technology. An outdoor dynamic response test was carried out on a tied-arch bridge, where multi-point deflection changes and cable force distribution of the bridge were measured and analyzed. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can efficiently and accurately measure bridge deflections and cable forces, providing a new technical approach and perspective for lightweight bridge health monitoring. A comparative experiment was conducted between the microwave vibrometer and traditional accelerometer for measuring cable fundamental frequencies, further validating the accuracy of the proposed method.
In order to accelerate the improving speed of vertical bearing capacity of the surface conductor after it is sprayed to the target layer, and shorten its setting time, a vibrating solid pipe process was proposed, and the influence of vibration parameters on the vertical bearing capacity of the pipe in this process was studied. Firstly, based on the analysis of the mechanical process in the process of vibrating solid conduit, the similarity relationship of the simulation test of the vibrating solid conduit system was deduced by using the dimensional analysis method. Secondly, a simulation test platform for the vertical bearing capacity of the conduit was designed and built. The influence law and significance of different vibration frequency and vibration time on the vertical bearing capacity of the pipe were obtained by using the control variable method and the variance analysis method. Finally, a finite element model of the prototype conduit-clay was established, and based on this model, the influence of vibration on the vertical bearing capacity enhancement of the prototype conduit was analyzed. The results of indoor simulation test and finite element numerical simulation both indicate that vibration will accelerate the improvement of the vertical bearing capacity of the conduit. However, there are some deviations between the vibration parameters required for the prototype conduit obtained from simulation experiments and those in practical applications. This is due to the fact that indoor simulation experiments were conducted under a 1g gravity field, which resulted in differences in parameters between the model soil and the prototype deep-water soil. Therefore, this study provides a new idea for accelerating the improvement of the vertical bearing capacity of conduits and has certain engineering value. This study provides new ideas for accelerating the vertical bearing capacity of conduits and has certain engineering value.
Compared with the chip type ultrasonic motor, the sandwich type ultrasonic motor has the advantages of good vibration characteristics, compact structure, strong environmental adaptability and high fatigue life, so it has been paid more and more attention in the design of ultrasonic motor. In order to make full use of the vibration characteristics of sandwich structure, an embedded annular ultrasonic motor based on in-plane vibration is proposed in this paper. By using the traveling wave generated on the ring stator, the inner and outer driving teeth of the stator can drive the designed flexible rotor on both sides. The flexible rotor can realize the pre-pressure compensation between the stator and the rotor and better fit the stator, so that the contact mode between the stator and the rotor can be changed into cylindrical contact. Changing the phase of the input two-phase voltage signal can realize the motor steering, and the ultrasonic motor can realize two different output modes by changing the fixed mode. In this paper, the overall structure, working principle and structure size design of the ultrasonic motor are introduced. After analyzing the influence of the stator structural parameters on the characteristic frequency, the interference mode separation is realized in the stator operating frequency band, and the simulation analysis of the ring stator is carried out, including the mode analysis, harmonic response analysis and vibration characteristic analysis. Finally, the feasibility and working principle of the proposed ultrasonic motor ring stator are verified by experiments.
During the cutting process with an end mill, energy flow drives material flow. The variation of energy flow dictates the transformation and transfer of material flow, thereby influencing the surface formation during milling. Based on the instantaneous cutting behavior of the milling cutter under vibration, energy composition and transfer conversion relationship was revealed during the cutting process. Instantaneous state parameters of nodes to quantitatively characterize the energy of milling cutters at each node was used. Flow rates, flow potentials, and resistances were employed to describe the flow state of the energy structure. Exergy efficiency was used to analyze the distribution characteristics of useful energy output during the cutting process. Experimental validation was performed using the instantaneous cutting energy efficiency and specific cutting energy of the milling cutter. The results showed that calculated and experimental results of instantaneous cutting energy efficiency, calculated and experimental results of specific cutting energy of the milling cutter exhibited a grey relative correlation coefficient exceeding 0.81, and a relative error of less than 19.9%. The aforementioned models and methods enable the revelation of the dynamic variations in energy flow during the milling process.
In response to the limited vibration reduction performance of single-layer rubber isolation systems for ship power equipment, a particle damping rubber isolation system is proposed by combining particle damping technology and rubber isolators. A coupled simulation method based on multibody dynamics discrete element (MBD-DEM) was proposed to establish a simulation model of a cantilever beam particle damping vibration reduction system, and experimental verification was carried out. The average error between the simulation and experimental results of the equivalent damping ratio was 7.0%. On this basis, a single-layer particle damping isolation system for ship power equipment was established, and the influence of particle filling rate, size, and material parameters on the isolation performance of the isolation system and its energy dissipation characteristics were studied. The research results indicate that a filling rate of 90% has the best vibration isolation effect; The isolation effect improves with the increase of particle size; When the filling particles are tungsten carbide particles, the vibration isolation effect is the best, and the vibration acceleration level at the resonance frequency is reduced by 7.7dB.
Sensitivity analysis of structural vibration modes (eigenvalues and eigenvectors) is widely used in structural vibration control, optimal design and damage identification. At present, the main modal sensitivity algorithms are modal superposition method, Nelson’s method and their improved algorithms. When these algorithms are applied to modal sensitivity analysis of large-scale engineering structures, there is generally a defect of low computational efficiency. In order to save the calculation cost, this paper proposes an improved subspace iteration method of modal sensitivity based on approximate flexibility. Firstly, the calculation problem of modal sensitivity is transformed into the calculation problem of modal eigen-pairs after minor modification of the structure by difference operation. Then, an approximate flexibility calculation formula is proposed to quickly estimate the inverse of the modified stiffness matrix of the structure, which is applied to the subspace iteration process to quickly obtain the modal eigen-pairs after minor modification, and accordingly the corresponding modal sensitivity can be quickly calculated. Two structural models are taken as examples to verify the proposed method. The results show that the calculation accuracy of the proposed method is basically consistent with the existing modal sensitivity algorithm, but the calculation time is greatly reduced. The proposed method is more suitable for vibration modal sensitivity analysis of large-scale engineering structures than the existing methods.
The traditional rectangular floating breakwater has simple structure and convenient installation, but its effect on long wave attenuation is limited; In order to effectively improve the wave attenuation performance of this kind of floating breakwater, a new type of floating breakwater structure with triangular wing plate is proposed in this paper. Firstly, based on the viscous incompressible fluid dynamics theory, the fluid-structure interaction numerical model of floating breakwater was established, and its applicability and feasibility were verified by comparing with the published results; Then, the wave attenuation performance of the new breakwater was numerically analyzed under different wave conditions. The calculation results showed that the wave attenuation performance reached the optimal value when the wing angle is 22.5 °; On this basis, the influence of different box draught on the wave attenuation effect was further analyzed. The analysis results of the vorticity field and velocity field showed that the wave attenuation performance of the floating breakwater with triangular wing plates is significantly better than that of the traditional rectangular floating breakwater because it not only reduces the transmitted waves through the reflection of the wing plates, but also effectively dissipates the incident wave energy through the formation of eddy. The new breakwater structure proposed in this paper can provide some reference for the application of wave attenuation in practical engineering.
Due to the complex downhole environment, the cementing casing system’s response under vibration conditions is very complicated. To reveal the dynamic behavior of the cementing casing system, considering factors such as fluid and centralizer, a dynamic model of the cementing casing system was established firstly. And the vibration characteristics and vibration displacement response of the system were solved by using the separation variable and modal superposition method. On this basis, the correctness of the model was verified by modal tests and vibration response tests. Finally, the influence mechanism of casing string parameters, fluid parameters, and centralizer stiffness on the vibration characteristics and vibration displacement response of the system was studied, and the propagation law of vibration on the casing string was analyzed. The results indicate that the fluid density and casing material parameters have a significant impact on the vibration characteristics. The size parameters of the casing string, damping ratio, and stiffness of the stabilizer have a significant impact on the vibration characteristics and displacement response of the system. On the premise of meeting the requirements of cementing technology, selecting small-diameter thin-walled casing, cement slurry with low viscosity coefficient, and low stiffness stabilizer will be beneficial for improving the amplitude of vibration displacement response. During the cementing operation, the selection of excitation frequency should comprehensively consider the amplitude and distribution of vibration response. The study provides theoretical basis for accurately solving the vibration characteristics of the cementing casing system and the design of vibration cementing equipment parameters.
The bellows vibration absorber has important application value in vibration and noise reduction of oil and gas pipelines. The aperiodic bellows with variable parameters can improve the fatigue life of the vibration absorber to a certain extent while ensuring the vibration reduction performance through structural optimization, but there is still a lack of effective theoretical calculation methods for the mechanical properties of the variable parameter bellows. Aiming at the bellows vibration absorber structure with variable circular radius, the plate-shell model is established, and the stiffness and stress of the bellows is given through the governing equations and connection conditions of the circular plate and circular shell. Then, the accuracy of the plate -shell model is verified through the comparison with both of the finite element and literature results. Finally, for the aperiodic bellows structure with variable parameters, the influence of the circular radius of bellows on the stress is analyzed. The research results show that the larger the radius of the circular shell, the smaller the total normal stress caused by the membrane internal force and bending moment in the meridian plane, which is beneficial to improve the fatigue life of the vibration absorber. The relevant research results of this research can provide effective theoretical supporting for the structural design and optimization of the bellows vibration absorber with variable parameters.
Runway roughness is a critical excitation factor during aircraft taxiing, significantly impacting runway service life and the safety of ground operations. To elucidate the mechanism by which roughness excitation influences the dynamic response of the aircraft-runway system, a three-dimensional whole aircraft model considering spatial vibrations and a dual-layer runway structure model incorporating a semi-rigid base were established in this study. both three-dimensional and two-dimensional runway roughness using measured and simulated data were reconstructed. A novel explicit integration method was introduced to solve and analyze the time-domain responses of the aircraft-runway coupled system, characterized by multiple parameters and high degrees of freedom. The results indicate that under the excitation of measured three-dimensional roughness, the vibration response at the aircraft's forward section is significantly greater than that near its center of gravity. The transverse effect of roughness excitation causes a disparity in the dynamic loads on the left and right main landing gears. Besides vertical vibrations, pitch and roll motions also substantially affect the aircraft's dynamic response. Compared to two-dimensional roughness, the dynamic load coefficient under three-dimensional roughness excitation is 1.20 to 1.52 times that under two-dimensional conditions, and the longitudinal dynamic strain at the bottom layer under three-dimensional roughness excitation is 1.20 to 1.49 times that under two-dimensional conditions. Therefore, the analysis and evaluation of actual runway roughness should shift from two-dimensional to three-dimensional assessments. When runway roughness deteriorates to a poor level according to current standards, the aircraft's vibration response increases exponentially. It is recommended that runway roughness levels be maintained at a medium or higher standard. The degree of runway roughness significantly affects both longitudinal strain and vertical displacement of the pavement, which should be considered in the analysis and design of pavement structures.
Blade tip timing (BTT) is an effective technique for non-contact vibration measurement of rotor blades of aeroengine, but its sampling pattern leads to the highly undersampled property of the sampled signals. Anti-aliasing spectrum analysis is required to extract the key indicator of the rotor blade, which is natural frequency. The improved multiple signal classification (MUSIC) method using the forward smoothing strategy can achieve anti-aliasing but cannot fully utilize the advantages of the smoothing method. Therefore, this paper proposes a forward-backward smoothing MUSIC method for BTT signal processing. By establishing the symmetrical placement conditions of the sensor, the forward-backward smoothing is used to replace the forward smoothing to obtain a more accurate autocorrelation matrix estimate, thereby improving the blade natural frequency estimation performance. Through simulation and experiments, it is verified that the aliasing and noise suppression capabilities of the forward-backward smoothing MUSIC method are improved under the same sample number, algorithm parameters, etc.
With the great improvement of the performance of modern aircraft , the aviation airborne integrated equipment rack has to withstand a very harsh mechanical environment under the condition of strict weight restriction, aiming at the fatigue failure of a rigid connection equipment rack in the durable vibration test. combined with the actual anti-vibration urgent needs to carry out vibration isolation design research, how to reasonably select the vibration isolator is the most core key technology. This paper systematically expounds the complete process and process of vibration isolation design based on theoretical calculation, simulation analysis and experimental verification, which is different from the previous empirical design, and establishes a forward vibration isolation design method based on the active requirements of the product itself for the performance parameters of the vibration isolator. the target frequency of the vibration isolation system and the key parameters of the vibration isolator are theoretically analyzed and calculated, and the selection of the vibration isolator is determined. Further simulation analysis and experimental verification are carried out. The results show that according to this vibration isolation design method, the vibration isolation effect of vibration isolator selection is obvious, the overall vibration isolation efficiency is more than 55%, the theoretical calculation and simulation analysis are accurate, and the test passes smoothly. It verifies the rationality and effectiveness of the forward vibration isolation design flow in a strong vibration environment, and has important practical significance and broad application prospects.
EARTHQUAKE SCIENCE AND STRUCTURE SEISMIC RESILIENCE
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rebars can promote the life-cycle performance of concrete structures due to their high strength and corrosion resistance. However, the application of CFRP rebars into concrete structures is limited because their linear-elastic behavior deviates from the traditional ductile seismic design. To investigate the seismic performance of CFRP-reinforced concrete (CFRP-RC) columns, four CFRP-RC columns, one RC column, and one CFRP/steel hybrid RC column were tested under quasi-static loads, with parameters including longitudinal reinforcement ratio, stirrup spacing, and axial compression ratio. Crack patterns, bearing capacity, residual deformation, and energy dissipation were investigated. Results indicated that the RC column was controlled by rebar buckling and core concrete crushing, while the CFRP-RC columns were controlled by the brittle fracture of the CFRP rebars, which were easily sheared due to the lateral resistance of stirrups against the compressive CFRP rebars. CFRP-RC columns exhibited high strength with a drift larger than 5%, small residual drift, and weak energy dissipation, exhibiting distinct advantages and disadvantages: “strong bearing capacity and low damage” but “low ductility and brittle failure”. The test formed a key dataset to provide a basis for seismic design and application of CFRP-RC structures.
Both ground motion and structure have multidimensional characteristics, and the structure will not only generate translational motion but also torsion under seismic action, and the traditional tuned mass dampers generally can only control the translational motion of the structure, but not the torsional response of the structure effectively. Therefore, a new type of multidimensional eddy current tuned mass dampers (MEC-TMD) is proposed in this paper, which can simultaneously control the translational and torsional responses of the structure. On the basis of analyzing the intrinsic structural form of the dampers and deriving the formula for calculating the damping force, a typical eccentric structure is taken as the research object, and the damping control efficiency of the MEC-TMD is compared with that of the traditional TMD by using finite element numerical simulation method considering the effects of ground vibration at different sites, so as to preliminarily validate the effectiveness of the MEC-TMD proposed in this paper. The results show that the proposed MEC-TMD has good control effect on both translational and torsional response of the structure under seismic action, and the development of this damper has positive significance and application value for the effective control of torsional response of the structure.
In order to accurately and reliably identify short-wave irregularities on high-speed railway tracks, an improved Hilbert-Huang algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of modal aliasing and endpoint effects in the Hilbert-Huang transform method. The modified Akima method is used to optimize the piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation method, and re-weight the interval of the constructed AM and FM signal, which effectively avoids the overshoot and undershoot problems of the envelope curve and maintains smoothness; based on the local characteristic scale extension method of the boundary, the constructed composite signal is processed to suppress divergence in endpoint effects. The improved Hilbert-Huang algorithm is compared with EEMD algorithm. The results show that the improved Hilbert-Huang algorithm has better signal separation effect. Based on the improved Hilbert-Huang algorithm, the measured signal of short-wave irregularities on high-speed railway tracks is decomposed, and the marginal spectrum and Hilbert spectrum are used to analyze the IMF component. The obtained wavelength and position information are in good agreement with the actual measurement results.
In order to ensure the safety of wind resistance braking of next-generation high-speed trains equipped with wind resistance braking devices in harsh wind environments, according to the existing research results on the design of wind resistance braking machine, working attitude and system layout, a certain type of standard locomotive set as a reference was equipped with 8 sets of "butterfly" wind resistance braking devices, and the aerodynamic model of the train and the dynamic model of vehicle track system under the effect of crosswind were established respectively. The dynamic behavior of the high-speed train assembled with wind-resistant braking device was simulated and calculated under wind load, and the safe speed threshold of wind-resistant braking was determined through the evaluation of the safety indexes of train operation. The results show that under the action of crosswind, the stability and safety of high-speed train operation with wind resistance braking device is mainly controlled by the head car, when running at 200~400 km/h, the aerodynamic coefficient is in quadratic nonlinear relationship with 0~30 m/s crosswind, with the increase of crosswind strength, the growth rate of drag coefficient decreases gradually, and the growth rate of lateral force coefficient and lift coefficient increase gradually; the rate of wheel weight load reduction is the controlling indicators of 200~400 km/h wind resistance braking safety assessment, in the wind speed of 10~30 m/s range, There is an approximately linear correlation between wheel load shedding rate and the operating speed; Referring to national technical standards and relevant test data, the wind resistance braking safety speed zone calculated by simulation effectively falls within the train operating safety zone, When operating in 20 m/s cross-wind environment, the safe speed of wind resistance braking does not exceed 186.1 km/h; in 15 m/s crosswind environment, the safe speed of wind resistance braking does not exceed 324.6 km/h; in 10 m/s crosswind environment, the safe speed of wind resistance braking does not exceed 370.1 km/h. The crosswind wind speed and the safe speed area of wind resistance braking derived from this paper can provide technical reference for the optimized design and the operation and safety control of the wind resistance braking device.
Blade tip timing (BTT) technology is currently the trend in condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of rotating blades in major equipment. Nonetheless, the BTT technique, with characteristics of non-uniformity and under-sampling, presents challenges in identifying the blade vibration parameters. To address the issue of asynchronous vibration parameter identification in rotating blades, this paper initially utilizes the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm to extract the non-integer engine order and the amplitude of blade asynchronous vibration frequency. Subsequently, an improved multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is employed to propose an integer engine order search strategy for blade asynchronous vibration frequency based on MUSIC algorithm (EOS-MUSIC). Finally, this study proposes an asynchronous vibration parameter identification algorithm of rotating blades based on the EOS-MUSIC algorithm and the FFT algorithm. The MATLAB software was utilized for simulating the signals of blade asynchronous vibration, and the feasibility and reliability of the proposed algorithm were validated by comparison with the existing MUSIC algorithm. Experiments on impeller blade vibration were conducted on a large-scale centrifugal compressor test rig. The absolute error of the frequency identification was 3.36Hz, and the relative error was only 0.53% compared with the results of the strain gauge method. Based on the preprocessing of FFT algorithm, this paper extracts the blade asynchronous vibration parameters by engine order search, which overcomes the problems of long calculation period and severe identification errors of the existing MUSIC algorithm. This study provides theoretical support for the asynchronous vibration parameters identification of rotating blades.
To address the issue of insufficient historical data for newly installed wind turbines and the significant data distribution differences between various turbines, this paper proposes an abnormal status detection method for wind turbines that integrates a self-attention mechanism with domain adaptation networks. Firstly, an encoder-decoder structure is employed to perform feature reconstruction from both source and target domain turbines in order to capture latent wind power patterns and domain-specific information. Then, a self-attention module is designed to extract cross-domain shared features through adversarial learning with a domain discriminator, and domain-specific information is automatically weighted based on the matching degree of cross-domain shared features, enabling dynamic feature reconstruction and thereby improving the model's adaptability to changes in the data distribution across different units. Finally, the reconstruction error is calculated as the abnormal score for anomaly detection. Results from actual wind turbine operation data demonstrate that this method can efficiently identify abnormal data with limited historical data and significantly improve detection accuracy compared to other deep learning and deep transfer learning methods.
To address the challenges of fault type coupling and data acquisition for rolling bearings in complex environments, researchers proposed a bearing compound fault diagnosis model based on semantic fusion zero sample learning. During training, a Semantic Autoencoder (SAE) establishes a link between visual space and semantic space, mitigating the domain migration issue. In testing, the model identifies unknown faults through similarity calculations. This approach introduces a semantic fusion encoding strategy, transforming the vibration amplitude and frequency characteristics of bearing faults into distinct semantic representations. This strategy retains extensive physical information and enhances semantic differences among fault types by fusing this data, thus significantly boosting the accuracy of composite fault classification. Moreover, the integration of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Adaptive Margin Center Loss (AMCL) optimizes fault feature extraction, capturing compound fault characteristics of bearings more accurately. Experimental results indicate an accuracy of 87.96%, surpassing that of the comparison model.
Given the issues of imbalanced attention mechanisms, conservative pooling strategies, and the loss function's inability to comprehensively consider information from all classes leads to the learned features being relatively scattered in the FasterVit network, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on the CFasterVit-TFAM and COS-UMAP models is proposed. The model consists of the FasterVit-TFAM network, the COS-UMAP dimensionality reduction algorithm, and the activation function CMSD-Softmax. Firstly, a new attention mechanism TFAM is proposed and combined with the FasterVit network to improve the balance and representation ability of information attention in the FasterVit network. Secondly, the COS-UMAP dimensionality reduction algorithm is used to replace the last pooling operation before the fully connected layer of the FasterVit network, effectively filtering and retaining important features in multidimensional data. Finally, replacing the cross-entropy loss function in the Softmax activation function with the mean standard deviation loss function allows for a more comprehensive learning of features and improves the model's generalization. The XJTU rolling bearing mixed fault experiment results show that the diagnostic accuracy of the TFAM attention mechanism is increased by 8% compared to other attention mechanisms, and the diagnostic accuracy of the COS-UMAP is increased by 15.8% compared to other dimensionality reduction algorithms. The diagnostic accuracy of the CMSD is increased by 0.5% compared to the cross entropy loss function. The proposed model achieves a recognition accuracy of 99.6% for fault samples, which is 1.4% higher than that of FasterVit and 7.8% higher than that of other network models. The simulation results of the rolling bearing dataset from Southeast University show that the proposed model achieves a recognition rate of 98.6% for fault samples, which is 2.2% higher than that of FasterVit. The average training time per round is reduced by 16.92 seconds, which is a maximum improvement of 12.2% compared to other network models, effectively improving the accuracy and generalization performance of the rolling bearing fault diagnosis model.
Combined with the advantages of the reconstructed gear test bench to obtain the working tooth surface image of the gear online, the method of gear pitting identification based on machine vision is discussed, and the experimental research is carried out. In view of the scarcity of gear pitting data, the Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) model is used to realize the diversification and high-quality augmentation of the gear pitting samples. Based on the previous research of ourselves, the effective working tooth surface area of the gear is extracted, and the tooth surface tilt correction as well as distortion correction are realized. By introducing the efficient channel attention, the U2-Net model is improved, and the accurate segmentation of the interested region of the gear pitting image is realized. On this basis, by counting the historical pitting rate of gears, a gear pitting identification model based on image signals is constructed, and the gear pitting identification is realized. The results show that the gear pitting identification method based on machine vision technology is feasible, and the recognition accuracy based on DCGAN and U2-Net models can reach 93.56%. The research maybe provides a more direct and reliable method for gear pitting identification, and have certain reference value for the condition monitoring of mechanical equipment.
Degradation between components in multi-component systems may have different degrees of mutual influence, which makes multi-component systems often have multi-stage degradation characteristics. In view of the above problems, this paper considers the influence of the interaction between the components of the multi-component system on the degradation mode, and proposes a multi-stage system degradation modeling and remaining useful life prediction method based on Wiener process with continuous degradation bidirectional random correlation effect. Firstly, a multi-stage Wiener process degradation model considering the influence of bidirectional random correlation is established by using the mutation point detection to describe the influence of random interaction between components on the degradation process of multi-component system. Secondly, to reflect the degradation heterogeneity of each component, and consider that the degradation rate of the component is composed of two parts: its own inherent degradation rate and the degradation rate generated by its related components. The drift coefficient and diffusion coefficient of each stage of the system are defined as random parameters, and the expectation maximization algorithm is used to estimate the unknown parameters. Finally, the Bayesian algorithm is used to update the posterior parameter distribution, predict the location of the mutation point, and derive the expression of the remaining life of the multi-stage degradation system considering the random correlation of degradation among the components according to the first passage time. The effectiveness of the method is verified by numerical simulation and C-MAPSS dataset.

Finally, the further development of Stewart active vibration isolation platforms in precision optical instruments was prospected.
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.
A type of metal corrosion probes was proposed using piezoelectric tube stack and electro mechanical impedance (EMI) technique. The probe consists of a piezoelectric tube stack and a metal bar. The transfer matrix model of the multilayer structured probe in longitudinal vibration mode was established, and the electrical impedance was derived to solve the first resonance and anti-resonance frequencies. The theoretical results were validated by comparing them with those of the special cases in the published literature. In addition, the probe performance was studied systematically through theoretical analysis, artificial uniform corrosion experiments, temperature-sensitive experiments, accelerated corrosion tests, and wireless impedance measurement experiments. The results show that the first resonance and anti-resonance frequencies of the probe are increased with the decrease of the bar length, the increase of the corrosion days, and decreased with the increase of temperature. The measured impedance spectra of the wireless impedance measurement system are very consistent with the test results of the traditional impedance analyzer. The present study provides an important reference for developing the novel metal corrosion probes of wireless quantitative measurement.
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 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.
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.
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.
In order to reveal the influence of the confining pressure on the formation and expansion mechanism of rock fissures under particle impact, particle impact rock-breaking experiments and micro-nano industrial CT scanning experiments were carried out, which clarified the influence of the confining pressure on the characteristics of the rock fissure expansion under the action of particle impact; and numerical simulations were carried out on the particle impact under the conditions of different confining pressures, to analyze the evolution process of the rock's stress and fissure fields, and to reveal the intrinsic mechanism of the confining pressure influencing the expansion of fissures. The results show that after the particles impact the rock, a fracture zone and intergranular main crack propagation zone are thus formed in the rock. The shear stress and tensile stress caused by compressive stress are the main reasons for the formation of the fracture zone, while the formation of the intergranular main crack propagation zone is mainly due to tangential derived tensile stress. The confining pressure induces prestress between rock particles such that the derived tensile stress needs to overcome the initial compressive stress between the particles to form tensile fractures. And the increase in the confining pressure leads to increases in the proportion of shear cracks and friction effects between rock particles, resulting in an increase in energy consumption for the same number of cracks,which inhibits the formation of the fracture zone and intergranular main crack propagation zone.
Aiming at the problem of non-uniqueness of solution and singular integral in acoustic boundary element method, based on the idea of CHIEF method, the conventional boundary element equation and the equivalent source equation are combined, and the coupling equivalent relation between the coefficient matrix of the two equations is used to indirectly replace the singular coefficient matrix in the conventional boundary element method, and then a coupled CHIEF method with unique solution in full frequency domain, high computational accuracy and high stability is proposed. In this method, the equivalent source equation is used as the supplementary equation, which not only solves the failure of the interior point supplementary equation of the traditional CHIEF method, but also avoids the direct calculation of singular integrals by the indirect substitution of matrix, which significantly improves the computational efficiency and accuracy. Through typical examples of acoustic radiation and scattering, the results of the proposed method, conventional boundary element method, conventional Burton-Miller method and equivalent source method are compared. The results show that not only the unique solution can be obtained in the full wavenumber domain, but also the calculation accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are better than those of the conventional boundary element method and the conventional Burton-Miller method, and the condition number of the coefficient matrix is much lower than that of the equivalent source method.
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.
The rectangular hollow section pier of a railway high-pier long-span simply-supported beam bridge is taken as the research object,calculation model for four kinds of pier heights were constructed, and factors such as the position of truncation and the number of reinforcement bars were considered. IDA analysis is carried out by using Opensees software to build a single pier calculation model, and the elastic-plastic seismic response characteristics of railway high piers are summarized and suggestions on seismic design is put forward. The results show that when the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement is between 0.63 and 0.89%, the pier height is less than 42 meters and the longitudinal reinforcement length is arranged over the pier, the section of hollow pier bottom is weak.When the height of the pier is greater than 67 meters and the longitudinal reinforcement is divided into sections, the section at the bottom of the hollow pier, the section at the truncation of the longitudinal reinforcement and a section in the pier may be the weak part, but the section at the bottom of the hollow pier is the area where the plastic hinge appears first.The plastic hinge in pier shaft can be produced only when it is stimulated by strong ground motion. The influence of ground motion peak acceleration should be considered in the selection of longitudinal reinforcement.Increasing the number of reinforcement bars at pier bottom is beneficial to reducing the plasticity of pier bottom section in general, but it may not improve the seismic performance of the whole pier under strong earthquakes. For high piers, when there are two or more plastic hinge areas in pier shaft, it is suggested to use the coefficient of curvature ductility as the evaluation index.
Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to recognize the caving coal gangue in the process of fully mechanized caving mining under the background of strong noise, a coal and gangue recognition method fusing low-level auditory feature Mel spectrum and high-level auditory feature auditory neurotransmitter firing rate is proposed. Firstly, according to the frequency spectrum characteristics of the sound signal of the tail beam of collapsed coal and gangue impact hydraulic support, an auditory model suitable for the coal gangue recognition task is established based on the auditory neural filter bank model. Then, the auditory model is used to analyze the sound signal of collapsed coal and gangue to obtain auditory neurotransmitter firing rate. Afterwards, the auditory neurotransmitter firing rate is fused with the peak feature extracted by Mel spectrum to obtain the auditory perception diagram of coal and gangue sound. Finally, coal and gangue were recognized with the ConvNeXt model based on the fusion auditory features constructed. The experimental results showed that the proposed coal and gangue recognition method with fusion auditory features had high recognition accuracy under different signal-to-noise ratios, and its superiority was particularly evident under the condition of large background noise (signal-to-noise ratio of -5dB), with accuracy reaching 91.52%, which was significantly superior to the method using low-level auditory features and spectrum as recognition features and using time-frequency domain features combined with machine learning, verifying the robustness of the proposed method to noise.
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.
The stiffness of the joint surface is an important factor that affects the dynamic characteristics and machining accuracy of a machine tool. To accurately determine the dynamic parameters of the machine tool, a prediction model is used to obtain the contact stiffness of the bed joint surface, and an equivalent dynamic model is established. Firstly, the contact stiffness prediction model is developed. Secondly, the prediction model is used to identify the contact stiffness of the joint surface between two materials (cast iron and mineral composite). Thirdly, using the contact characteristic parameters of the joint surface, a finite element model based on spring element constraint is created. Finally, comparing the finite element modal frequency with the experimental modal frequency reveals that the finite element modal frequency, based on the spring element constraint, aligns well with the experimental modal frequency. This indicates that the model is effective for both cast iron and mineral composites. The results demonstrate that incorporating the contact stiffness of the joint surface in the finite element model of the machine tool bed leads to a more reasonable representation. This provides a theoretical foundation for analyzing the dynamic characteristics of the machine tool and optimizing its structure.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
With the increasing complexity of the marine environment, the data obtained from observing underwater target acoustic signals exhibits several challenging characteristics, including high dimensionality, nonlinearity, and lack of structure. These characteristics undoubtedly pose significant difficulties in extracting features from underwater target acoustic signals. In this study, a novel method for extracting features from underwater target acoustic signals is proposed, utilizing manifold autoencoders. Initially, the original data is globally optimized by leveraging the autoencoder reconstruction error to identify potential low-dimensional representations. Subsequently, the concept of preserving neighboring reconstruction weights through manifold learning is employed to enforce local constraints on the latent representation, thereby preserving its inherent topological structure. Finally, a generative adversarial network architecture is introduced for regularization, ensuring that the latent representation adheres to a specific distribution. This approach achieves a synergistic preservation of both local and global low-dimensional embedding. The proposed method was applied to extract essential features from four types of deep-water ships in the DeepShip open dataset. The quality of these features was evaluated by employing the classic classifier SVM for classification recognition. A comparison was conducted with existing methods for feature extraction in deep learning and manifold learning. The results showed an average improvement of 14.96% in recognition accuracy.
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.
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.
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.
Based on the peridynamics method, a three-dimensional numerical model for rigid ball impact on glass panel was proposed considering the effects of material damage. And the effectiveness of the presented model was verified according to the Kalthoff-Winkler experiment. Finally, the impact failure evolution and crack propagation mechanism of the glass panel were explored considering the effects of the rigid ball initial impact velocity, the rigid ball diameter, and the glass panel thickness. The results show that the cracks in the glass panel exhibit a radial shape when the initial impact velocity is law. As the impact velocity increases, the circumferential cracks appear and a complex crack network gradually form in the glass panel. Meanwhile, the total length and the proportion of cracks in the glass panel increase with the increase of initial impact velocity, and the relationship between them is approximately linear. With the increasing of the rigid ball diameter, the contact area between the ball and the glass panel expands, which results in the more severe damage and easier formation of complex crack networks in the glass panel. In addition, increasing the glass panel thickness can prolong the impact duration, which makes the glass panel withstand greater impact energy. When the glass panel thickness is relatively thin, it results in more severe local structural damage and the smaller damage area; When the panel thickness is thicker, the structural damage area expands, while local damage weakens.
Cable is an essential force transmission component of the cable supported structures, and its cable force directly affects the service condition and lifespan of the structures. In general, for cable supported structures with locally rigid coupling, the cable strand vibration is independent and coupled. the vibration characteristics of the parallel strand cables are different from those of the single cable strand or the cables with good integrity. In order to effectively identify the tensions in the parallel strand cables with rigid couplings, Firstly, the model of multi-strand coupled system was established and the vibration equations of the system was derived, According to the vibration equations of the system, the parametric analysis of vibration characteristics was performed on the coupled system; Then, combined the filled function method and optimization theory, the identification algorithm for cable force of multi rigid couplings cable strands was constructed, the global identification of cable force was realized; Finally, the correctness and reliability of the algorithms were demonstrated by the experiment and finite element simulation. The results show that the rigid coupling ensures that each cable strand vibrates synchronously, the natural vibration frequencies of the parallel strand cables appear fractional frequency doubling, and there are local differences in the overall vibration modes; The cable force identification algorithm based on global optimization theory proposed in this paper exhibits low requirements for initial values, high calculation accuracy, and convergence efficiency, and can be extended to other parameter identification problems.
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. Secondly, the residual error of the correlation coefficient between in the state matrix and in the current evaluation window is calculated. Thirdly, thresholds are set for the relative deviation mean or residual error of each parameter and the residual error of each correlation coefficient to extract the abnormal features. Finally, vibration warning and abnormal diagnosis are based on Euclidean Distance and the anomalous features. The fault diagnosis method is validated by the operation data of turbogenerators. The results show that the proposed diagnosis method is feasible and can extract more abnormal or fault features compared with the single parameter self-change evaluation or parameter correlation analysis. It has the ability to diagnose multiple faults, which is beneficial for anormal warning and improving the accuracy of diagnosis.
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.
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.
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.

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.
There are many mechanical elements in the vehicle suspension system which employing the three types elements, namely, the inerter, the spring and the damper, and it cannot be easily applied to the automotive engineering. 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.
The experimental modal analysis, dynamic modeling and structural parameter identification were employed to research the inplane vibration modes of heavyloaded radial tires with larger flat ratio. The coupled characteristics of flexible tread, distributed sidewall element and rim were investigated by means of the experimental modal analysis. Taking the bending and inflation features of the flexible tread and the inertial force and sectional spring of the sidewall into consideration, the coupled kinematics of flexible tread, distributed sidewall element and rim was modeled. The inplane coupled analytical modal frequency was derived. The structural parameters identification was implemented and the higher order modal frequenies were predicted with the analytic method. The results show that: the flexible tread vibrates in the same/opposite direction with the distributed sidewall within 0-180 Hz and 180-300 Hz respectively ; the modal analysis and kinetics modeling in consideration of the coupled features of flexible tread, distributed sidewall element and rim can accurately characterize the inplane vibration features of heavy loaded tires within the frequency band of 300 Hz.
The surface topography of the rolling interface can change the interface dynamics,and influences the dynamic response of a rolling mill system.Considering the roughness of the rolling interface,the nonlinear dynamic model of the rolling mill system was established.The nonlinear stiffness and natural frequency characteristics of the rolling system with different rough surface topography were calculated and compared with the traditional rolling mill model using Duffing oscillator to describe the interface stiffness.The main resonance amplitude-frequency characteristics of the rolling mill system were solved by using the method of multiple scales,and the expression of the jump frequency and the corresponding amplitude of the forced vibration response were derived.The influence of the rolling surface roughness,excitation load,nonlinear stiffness ratio and damping on the dynamic response characteristics of the rolling mill was analyzed.The results provide theoretical reference for suppressing rolling mill vibration.
Aiming at the phenomenon of mode mixing in the extraction of fault information from the vibration signal of a high speed elevator rolling guide shoe,by the method of singular value decomposition (SVD) optimizing local mean decomposition (LMD), a feature extraction method based on self-adaptive sharpening wavelet decomposition (SSWD) optimizing LMD was proposed.First of all, the low pass filter, high pass filter, wavelet basis function and scale function were constructed.The original signal was decomposed into a high-frequency detailed feature signal and a low-frequency approximate signal by the multi-resolution filtering characteristics of wavelet decomposition (WD).Then, signal enhancement was done on the high frequency detailed feature components, and the enhanced high frequency detailed characteristic signal and the low frequency approximate signal were reconstructed.Finally, the LMD method was used to extract the fault features’ PF component of the rolling guide shoe from the reconstructed signals.The instantaneous Teager energy waveform of the PF component was obtained for comparative analysis.Through the actual working condition signal processing and analysing, the experimental results show that, compared with the SVD optimizing LMD method, the method completely extracts the fault characteristic components of the vibration signal of the rolling guide shoe, and avoids the phenomenon of modal confusion.

Through experiment with a gear box, this method is proved to be feasible and valid.
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.
In this paper a new method of fault feature extraction based on sample entropy and fractional Fourier transform is presented. The core of this new method is to map the original data with poor separability into the appropriate fractional space firstly. Then the sample entropies of the transformed data after fractional Fourier transformation with appropriate order are computed and compared, so that fault feature extraction is fulfilled. 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.
Recently the application of neural networks to the online model updating of hybrid testings is an important research direction.How to improve the adaptability, stability and anti-noise ability of online model updating algorithm of neural network is a key problem.An on-line model updating method for hybrid testings based on the forgetting factor and LMBP neural network was proposed, namely in each time step the historical experimental data of the test substructure were used to form a dynamic window sample with a forgetting factor.Then the LMBP neural network was trained with the sample set by the incremental training method, and the restoring force of the numerical element with the same constitutive model was predicted synchronously.The model updating hybrid testing on a 2-DOF nonlinear system was simulated and the RMSD of the predicted restoring force of numerical substructure was found to be 0.023 0 finally.The results show that the online model updating method of hybrid testings based on the forgetting factor and LMBP neural network has good adaptability, stability and anti-noise ability.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Here, considering geometric nonlinearity, damping nonlinearity and axial inextensibility of beams, the electro-mechanical coupled nonlinear dynamic equation of a cantilever beam with a tip mass piezoelectric energy harvester under parametric and direct excitations was established by using Hamilton variational principle. In fact, the piezoelectric energy harvester is a piezoelectric bimorph cantilever beam structure. Using Galerkin method, the electro-mechanical coupled nonlinear dynamic equation was reduced to an electro-mechanical coupled nonlinear Mathieu-Duffing equation. In order to study the first-order resonance response of the energy harvester, the multi-scale method was used to obtain the analytical expressions for beam deflection, output voltage and output power of the energy harvester. These analytical expressions were used to study influences of impedance, damping coefficient and tip mass under parametric and direct excitations on performances of the piezoelectric energy harvester.
In order to study the dynamic performance optimization method of multistage fixed-axle gear train,a parametric dynamics model including gear design parameters (number of teeth,modulus,tooth width) and system layout parameters (gear installation position,interstage phase Angle) was established by using the generalized finite element method. Newmark-β time domain integral method was used to solve the dynamic equation at rated speed,and the influence of each parameter on the dynamic characteristics of the system was analyzed. On this basis,the multistage fixed axis gear system dynamic optimization method is proposed,taking design and layout parameters as variables,reducer gear ratio,the diameter of axle width as constraint conditions,such as dynamic load amplitude and minimum on bearing load difference as the main target,multi-objective hybrid discrete optimization model is established, and obtain the optimal design variables based on bayesian algorithm programming model. The results show that the amplitude of the first stage meshing force of the optimized reducer is reduced by 18.9%,the amplitude of the second stage meshing force is reduced by 17.2%,and the load difference of bearings on both sides of shafting is reduced by 36%,40% and 45% respectively. The mass decrease by 8.7%,the volume of boundary box decrease by 27%,and the optimization effect is obvious.
