A non-parametric identification technique for the identification of arbitrary memoryless non-linearities has been presented for a class of close-coupled dynamic systems which are commonly met with in mechanical and structural engineering. The method is essentially a regression technique and expresses the non-linearities as series expansions in terms of orthogonal functions. Whereas no limitation on the type of test signals is imposed, the method requires the monitoring of the response of each of the masses in the system. The computational efficiency of the method, its easy implementation on analogue and digital machines and its relative insensitivity to measurement noise make it an attractive approach to the non-parametric identification problem.  相似文献

An approximate method is presented for the analysis of earthquake induced uplifting in base plates of unanchored liquid-storage tanks that are supported directly on flexible soil foundations. The method takes due account of the non-linearities arising from the continuous variation of base contact area, membrane action and plastic yielding in the base plate. First, an ‘exact’ solution is presented for a uniformly loaded flexibly supported prismatic beam, uplifted by a concentrated force applied at one end. A series of such beams are later used in an approximate model of the base plate. The method is highly efficient and believed to be accurate for the level of uplifts encountered in practice. The results are presented for a range of foundation stiffness, representing loose sandy soils to rigid concrete mat. It is shown that, for the same overturning base moment, the flexibly supported tanks, in comparison with the rigidly supported tanks, experience significantly smaller axial compressive stress, but larger base uplift, foundation penetration, plastic rotation at plate boundary and hoop compressive stress in the tank wall.  相似文献

Nonlinear seismic response analysis of earth dams   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The objective of this paper is to propose a general and efficient numerical procedure for analysing the dynamic response of geotechnical structures, which are considered as both nonlinear and two phase systems. In Section 2, the appropriate coupled dynamic field equations for the response of a two-phase soil system are briefly reviewed. The finite element spatial discretization of the field equations is described and time integration for the resulting nonlinear semi-discrete finite element equations is discussed. In Section 3, iterative techniques are examined for the solution of the global nonlinear system of finite element equations. A large amount of computational effort is expended in the iterative phase of the solution and so the iterative procedure used must be both reliable and efficient. The performance of three iterative procedure is examined: Newton Raphson, Modified Newton Raphson and Quasi-Newton methods, including BGFS and Broyden updates. Finally, in Section 4, the elasto-plastic earthquake response analysis of a two phase nonhomogeneous earth dam is presented. Extensive documentation exists1 for the particular problem selected including recorded earthquake motions at the base and crest of the dam. The results of the numerical calculations are compared to the recorded response of the dam.  相似文献

A technique for non-stationary stochastic analysis of linear combined primary and secondary subsystems subjected to a zero-mean Gaussian base excitation is presented. The proposed technique, based on the use of the Taylor's expansion in evaluating the operators which appear in the step-by-step procedure, does not require the evaluation of the complex eigenproperties of the combined system. Operating in this way, even though the numerical procedure is a conditionally stable one, appears to be more efficient than existing methods to evaluate the dynamic response of such composite systems. It is also shown that the proposed procedure is available whether the seismic input is idealized as a filtered white noise or it is defined by means of its autocorrelation function.  相似文献

In recent years a number of studies on employing friction elements for the seismic protection of buildings has demonstrated conclusively that such devices can markedly reduce earthquake-induced vibrations. Any numerical estimate of the effectiveness of such isolation systems implies a correct solution of the pertinent nonlinear equations of motion. In direct integration algorithms, the phase transitions between adherence and sliding, or the sliding phase may be accompanied by marked high-frequency oscillation of the relative velocity difference. The paper presents a numerical technique for overcoming these problems, thus leading to increased accuracy of the solutions of equations of motions with Coulomb damping. Since only the damping matrix and the loading vector are involved, the procedure is also computationally efficient. In order to validate the proposed numerical technique, an experimental study of a friction system has been carried out. The dynamic response of a four-storey braced frame with friction devices is presented as an example for the practical application of the proposed numerical technique.  相似文献

Previous research has demonstrated that uplifting-column or rocking building systems may exhibit improved seismic performance, including reductions in total base shear and decreased residual drift, when compared with systems rigidly connected to the foundation. These beneficial effects may be due to lengthened periods, activation of rocking modes, and energy dissipation of base fuse elements. In the current work, several configurations of a miniature steel building with different combinations of base connection and traditional superstructure fuse strength and stiffness were subjected to identical earthquake motions to evaluate differences in demands and performance. The uplifting base connections incorporate highly ductile concrete anchors with long stretch lengths, allowing robust connection performance and easy replacement of damaged connection elements following the seismic event, an advantage over previously tested systems. Testing and dynamic numerical analysis indicates that ductile anchor uplifting systems may reduce total base shear by over 20%, as well as reducing residual structural drift by more than 80%.  相似文献

An equivalent linearization technique to obtain the response of non-linear multi-degree-of-freedom dynamic systems to stationary gaussian excitations is developed. The non-linearities are assumed to be single-valued functions of accelerations, velocities and displacements. Using a property of gaussian vector processes, the closed forms of the coefficients of the equivalent linear system are obtained by the direct application of partial differentiation and expectation operators to the non-linear terms. It is shown that when the non-linearities possess potentials, the linear system has symmetric coefficient matrices. A geometrical interpretation of the linear coefficients, in connection with the original non-linearities, is presented. The accuracy is investigated by means of examples.  相似文献

A non-parametric identification technique is presented for chain-like multidegree-of-freedom non-linear dynamic systems. The method uses information about the state variables of non-linear systems to express the system characteristics in terms of two-dimensional orthogonal functions. The technique is applied to a model of a steel frame that has been extensively investigated both analytically and experimentally. The method can be used with deterministic or random excitation to identify dynamic systems with arbitrary non-linearities, including those with hysteretic characteristics. It is also shown that the method is easy to implement and needs much less computer time and storage requirements compared to the Wiener-kernel approach. The method is shown to have low sensitivity to the effects of additive noise in the experimental data.  相似文献

Real‐time hybrid testing is a very effective technique for evaluating the dynamic responses of rate‐dependent structural systems subjected to earthquake excitation. A smart base isolation system has been proposed by others using conventional low‐damping isolators and controllable damping devices such as magnetorheological (MR) dampers to achieve specified control target performance. In this paper, real‐time hybrid tests of a smart base isolation system are conducted. The simulation is for a base‐isolated two‐degrees‐of‐freedom building model where the superstructure and the low‐damping base isolator are numerically simulated, and the MR damper is physically tested. The target displacement obtained from the step‐by‐step integration of the numerical substructure is imposed on the MR damper, which is driven by three different control algorithms in real‐time. To compensate the actuator delay and improve the accuracy of the test, an adaptive phase‐lead compensator is implemented. The accuracy of each test is investigated by using the root mean square error and the tracking indicator. Experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid testing procedure using the proposed actuator compensation techniques is effective for investigating the control performance of the MR damper in a smart base isolation system.

A new numerical procedure is proposed for the analysis of three-dimensional dynamic soil–structure interaction in the time domain. In this study, the soil is modelled as a linear elastic solid, however, the methods developed can be adapted to include the effects of soil non-linearities and hysteretic damping in the soil. A substructure method, in which the unbounded soil is modelled by the scaled boundary finite-element method, is used and the structure is modelled by 8–21 variable-number-node three-dimensional isoparametric or subparametric hexahedral curvilinear elements. Approximations in both time and space, which lead to efficient schemes for calculation of the acceleration unit-impulse response matrix, are proposed for the scaled boundary finite-element method resulting in significant reduction in computational effort with little loss of accuracy. The approximations also lead to a very efficient scheme for evaluation of convolution integrals in the calculation of soil–structure interaction forces. The approximations proposed in this paper are also applicable to the boundary element method. These approximations result in an improvement over current methods. A three-dimensional Dynamic Soil–Structure Interaction Analysis program (DSSIA-3D) is developed, and seismic excitations (S-waves, P-waves, and surface waves) and externally applied transient loadings can be considered in analysis. The computer program developed can be used in the analysis of three-dimensional dynamic soil–structure interaction as well as in the analysis of wave scattering and diffraction by three-dimensional surface irregularities. The scattering and diffraction of seismic waves (P-, S-, and Rayleigh waves) by various three-dimensional surface irregularities are studied in detail, and the numerical results obtained are in good agreement with those given by other authors. Numerical studies show that the new procedure is suitable and very efficient for problems which involve low frequencies of interest for earthquake engineering.

A damage detection algorithm of structural health monitoring systems for base‐isolated buildings is proposed. The algorithm consists of the multiple‐input multiple‐output subspace identification method and the complex modal analysis. The algorithm is applicable to linear and non‐linear systems. The story stiffness and damping as damage indices of a shear structure are identified by the algorithm. The algorithm is further tuned for base‐isolated buildings considering their unique dynamic characteristics by simplifying the systems to single‐degree‐of‐freedom systems. The isolation layer and the superstructure of a base‐isolated building are treated as separate substructures as they are distinctly different in their dynamic properties. The effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated through the numerical analysis and experiment. Finally, the algorithm is applied to the existing 7‐story base‐isolated building that is equipped with an Internet‐based monitoring system. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

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

The seismic response analysis of a base-isolated liquid storage tank on a half-space was examined using a coupling method that combines the finite elements and boundary elements. The coupled dynamic system that considers the base isolation system and soil–structure interaction effect is formulated in time domain to evaluate accurately the seismic response of a liquid storage tank. Finite elements for a structure and boundary elements for liquid are coupled using equilibrium and compatibility conditions. The base isolation system is modeled using the biaxial hysteretic element. The homogeneous half-space is idealized using the simple spring-dashpot model with frequency-independent coefficients. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate accuracy and applicability of the developed method.Consequently, a general numerical algorithm that can analyze the dynamic response of base-isolated liquid storage tanks on homogeneous half-space is developed in three-dimensional coordinates and dynamic response analysis is performed in time domain.  相似文献

This paper investigates the application of the sliding mode control (SMC) strategies for reducing the dynamic responses of the building structures with base‐isolation hybrid protective system. It focuses on the use of reaching law method, a most attractive controller design approach of the SMC theory, for the development of control algorithms. By using the constant plus proportional rate reaching law and the power rate reaching law, two kinds of hybrid control methods are presented. The compound equation of motion of the base‐isolation hybrid building structures, which is suitable for numerical analysis, has been constructed. The simulation results are obtained for an eight‐storey shear building equipped with base‐isolation hybrid protective system under seismic excitations. It is observed that both the constant plus proportional rate reaching law and the power rate reaching law hybrid control method presented in this paper are quite effective.

Mode-superposition analysis is an efficient tool for the evaluation of the response of linear systems subjected to dynamic agencies. Two well-known mode-superposition methods are available in the literature, the mode-displacement method and the mode-acceleration method. Within this frame a method is proposed called a dynamic correction method which evaluates the structural response as the sum of a pseudostatic response, which is the particular solution of the differential equations, and a dynamic correction evaluated using a reduced number of natural modes. The greater accuracy of the proposed method with respect to the other methods is evidenced through extensive numerical tests, for classically and non-classically damped systems.  相似文献

Finite element(FE) is a powerful tool and has been applied by investigators to real-time hybrid simulations(RTHSs). This study focuses on the computational efficiency, including the computational time and accuracy, of numerical integrations in solving FE numerical substructure in RTHSs. First, sparse matrix storage schemes are adopted to decrease the computational time of FE numerical substructure. In this way, the task execution time(TET) decreases such that the scale of the numerical substructure model increases. Subsequently, several commonly used explicit numerical integration algorithms, including the central difference method(CDM), the Newmark explicit method, the Chang method and the Gui-λ method, are comprehensively compared to evaluate their computational time in solving FE numerical substructure. CDM is better than the other explicit integration algorithms when the damping matrix is diagonal, while the Gui-λ(λ = 4) method is advantageous when the damping matrix is non-diagonal. Finally, the effect of time delay on the computational accuracy of RTHSs is investigated by simulating structure-foundation systems. Simulation results show that the influences of time delay on the displacement response become obvious with the mass ratio increasing, and delay compensation methods may reduce the relative error of the displacement peak value to less than 5% even under the large time-step and large time delay.  相似文献

A critical, textbook-like review of the generalized modal superposition method of evaluating the dynamic response of nonclassically damped linear systems is presented, which it is hoped will increase the attractiveness of the method to structural engineers and its application in structural engineering practice and research. Special attention is given to identifying the physical significance of the various elements of the solution and to simplifying its implementation. It is shown that the displacements of a non-classically damped n-degree-of-freedom system may be expressed as a linear combination of the displacements and velocities of n similarly excited single-degree-of-freedom systems, and that once the natural frequencies of vibration of the system have been determined, its response to an arbitrary excitation may be computed with only minimal computational effort beyond that required for the analysis of a classically damped system of the same size. The concepts involved are illustrated by a series of examples, and comprehensive numerical data for a three-degree-of-freedom system are presented which elucidate the effects of several important parameters. The exact solutions for the system are also compared over a wide range of conditions with those computed approximately considering the system to be classically damped, and the interrelationship of two sets of solutions is discussed.  相似文献

An analytical approximation for the calculation of the stationary reliability of linear dynamic systems with higher‐dimensional output under Gaussian excitation is presented. For systems with certain parameters theoretical and computational issues are discussed for two topics: (1) the correlation of failure events at different parts of the failure boundary and (2) the approximation of the conditional out‐crossing rate across the failure boundary by the unconditional one. The correlation in the first topic is approximated by a multivariate integral, which is evaluated numerically by an efficient algorithm. For the second topic some existing semi‐empirical approximations are discussed and a new one is introduced. The extension to systems with uncertain parameters requires the calculation of a multi‐dimensional reliability integral over the space of the uncertain parameters. An existing asymptotic approximation is used for this task and an efficient scheme for numerical calculation of the first‐ and second‐order derivatives of the integrand is presented. Stochastic simulation using an importance sampling approach is also considered as an alternative method, especially for cases where the dimension of the uncertain parameters is moderately large. Comparisons between the proposed approximations and Monte Carlo simulation for some examples related to earthquake excitation are made. It is suggested that the proposed analytical approximations are appropriate for problems that require a large number of consistent error estimates of the probability of failure, as occurs in reliability‐based design optimization. Numerical problems regarding computational efficiency may arise when the dimension of both the output and the uncertain parameters is large. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

A simple a posteriori local error estimate for Newmark time integration schemes in dynamic analysis is presented, based on the concept of a so called ‘post-processing’ technique. In conjunction with the error estimate, an adaptive time-stepping algorithm is described, which adjusts the time step size so that the local error of each time step is within a prescribed error tolerance. Numerical examples given in the paper indicate that the error estimate is asymptotically convergent, computationally efficient and convenient, and the adaptive time-stepping scheme can predict a nearly optimal step size from time to time, thus making the numerical solution reliable in an efficient manner.  相似文献

An iterative solution method is presented and illustrated to analyse the dynamic response of bridge–vehicle systems. The method consists in dividing the whole system into 2 subsystems at the interface of the bridge and vehicles; these 2 subsystems are solved separately; their compatibility at the interface is achieved by an iterative procedure with under-relaxation or with Aitken acceleration. The characteristics of this method are explained on a simplified system with 2 degrees of freedom (DOF). The numerical results for a simple example demonstrate the high performances of the proposed method: good convergence rate and high accuracy. Finally, the method is applied to a practical example: the linear dynamic response of the Yangtze-River Bridge at Wuhan under a moving train with 2 locomotives and 4 freight cars. The efficiency is attained because neither formation nor factorisation of the coefficient matrices for the equations of the system are needed at every time step in linear analysis. The Aitken acceleration technique is more efficient in systems with multi-degrees of freedom than the relaxation technique. The proposed method will be even more efficient in non-linear dynamic response because, in this case, the iterations are necessary whether the system is solved as a whole or not.  相似文献
