The damage of nonstructural components represents the largest contribution to the economic loss caused by an earthquake. Since nonstructural components are not amenable to traditional structural analysis, full-scale experimental testing is crucial to understand their behaviour under earthquake. For this reason, shaking table tests are performed to investigate the seismic behaviour of plasterboard partitions. A steel test frame is properly designed in order to simulate the seismic effects at a generic building storey. The tests are performed shaking the table simultaneously in both horizontal directions. To investigate a wide range of interstorey drift demand and seismic damage, the shakes are performed scaling the accelerograms at eleven different intensity levels. The tested plasterboard partitions from Siniat exhibit a good seismic behaviour, both in their own plane and out of plane, showing limited damage up to 1.1 % interstorey drift ratio. The correlation between the dynamic characteristics of the test setup and the recorded damage is evidenced. Finally, an interesting comparison between the experimental results and the analytical model is also performed.  相似文献   

In-Flight Main Beam Reconstruction for Planck-LFI     

C. Burigana  P. Natoli  N. Vittorio  N. Mandolesi  M. Bersanelli 《Experimental Astronomy》2001,12(2):87-106

In-flight measurements of the shape of the antenna main beam is a crucial input to the data analysis pipeline of each high resolution Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy experiment. We study the main beam reconstruction achievable by the PLANCK Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) through the observation of external planets. Although were strict our analysis to the 30 GHz LFI channel, the method can be easily extended to all the PLANCK frequency channels and to other CMB anisotropy experiments. We show that it is possible to fit the time ordered data from the external planets (mainly Jupiter and Saturn) to obtain an accurate, robust, simple and fast reconstruction of the main beam properties under very general conditions, almost independently of the calibration accuracy. In addition, we find that a bivariate Gaussian approximation of main beam shapes represents a significant improvement with respect to asymmetric representation. The impact of the most relevant systematic effects is also addressed. We demonstrate that by combining the recovery of the maximum signal at the planet transit with accurate in-flight calibration, it is possible to measure the intrinsic planet temperatures at millimetric wavelengths with < 1% accuracy. This work is based on PLANCK-LFI activities. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Physical conditions in the convective envelopes of stars     

Vittorio Castellani  Alvio Renzini 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1969,3(2):283-291

The physical conditions in the convective envelopes of Pop. II main-sequence stars are described with some detail. A particular care has been devoted to the effects due to the formation of hydrogen molecules and to the pressure ionization.

The Boomerang experiment completed its final long duration balloon (LDB) flight over Antarctica in January 2003. The focal plane was upgraded to accommodate four sets of 145 GHz polarization sensitive bolometers (PSBs), identical to those to be flown on the Planck HFI instrument. Approximately, 195 hours of science observations were obtained during this flight, including 75 hours distributed over 1.84% of the sky and an additional 120 hours concentrated on a region covering 0.22% of the sky. We derive the angular power spectra of the cosmic microwave background (cmb) temperature and polarization anisotropies from these data. The temperature anisotropies are detected with high signal to noise on angular scales ranging from several degrees to 10 arcminutes. The curl-free (EE) component is detected at 4.8σ, and a two-sigma upper limit on the curl (BB) component of 8.6 μK² is obtained on scales corresponding to 0.5°. Both the temperature and polarization anisotropies are found to be consistent with a concordance ΛCDM cosmology that is seeded by adiabatic density perturbations. In addition to the cmb observations, Boomerang03 surveyed a 300 square degree region centered on the Galactic plane. These observations represent the first light for polarization sensitive bolometers, which are currently operational in two South-Pole based polarimeters, as well as Planck HFI, at frequencies ranging from 100 to 350 GHz (3 mm to 850 μm).  相似文献
