This paper proposes the use of a novel type of passive vibration control system to reduce vibrations in civil engineering structures subject to base excitation. The new system is based on the inerter, a device that was initially developed for high‐performance suspensions in Formula 1 racing cars. The principal advantage of the inerter is that a high level of vibration isolation can be achieved with low amounts of added mass. This feature makes it an attractive potential alternative to traditional tuned mass dampers (TMDs). In this paper, the inerter system is modelled inside a multi‐storey building and is located on braces between adjacent storeys. Numerical results show that an excellent level of vibration reduction is achieved, potentially offering improvement over TMDs. The inerter‐based system is compared to a TMD system by using a range of base excitation inputs, including an earthquake signal, to demonstrate how the performance could potentially be improved by using an inerter instead of a TMD.

Performance of base‐isolated reinforced concrete buildings under bidirectional seismic excitation considering pounding with retaining walls including friction effects          下载免费PDF全文

Seismic pounding of base‐isolated buildings has been mostly studied in the past assuming unidirectional excitation. Therefore, in this study, the effects of seismic pounding on the response of base‐isolated reinforced concrete buildings under bidirectional excitation are investigated. For this purpose, a three‐dimensional finite element model of a code‐compliant four‐story building is considered, where a newly developed contact element that accounts for friction and is capable of simulating pounding with retaining walls at the base, is used. Nonlinear behavior of the superstructure as well as the isolation system is considered. The performance of the building is evaluated separately for far‐fault non‐pulse‐like ground motions and near‐fault pulse‐like ground motions, which are weighted scaled to represent two levels of shaking viz. the design earthquake (DE) level and the risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCE_R) level. Nonlinear time‐history analyses are carried out considering lower bound as well as upper bound properties of isolators. The influence of separation distance between the building and the retaining walls at the base is also investigated. It is found that if pounding is avoided, the performance of the building is satisfactory in terms of limiting structural and nonstructural damage, under DE‐level motions and MCE_R‐level far‐fault motions, whereas unacceptably large demands are imposed by MCE_R‐level near‐fault motions. In the case of seismic pounding, MCE_R‐level near‐fault motions are found to be detrimental, where the effect of pounding is mostly concentrated at the first story. In addition, it is determined that considering unidirectional excitation instead of bidirectional excitation for MCE_R‐level near‐fault motions provides highly unconservative estimates of superstructure demands.

Design,simulation, and large‐scale testing of an innovative vibration mitigation device employing essentially nonlinear elastomeric springs          下载免费PDF全文

This study proposes an innovative passive vibration mitigation device employing essentially nonlinear elastomeric springs as its most critical component. Essential nonlinearity denotes the absence (or near absence) of a linear component in the stiffness characteristics of these elastomeric springs. These devices were implemented and tested on a large‐scale nine‐story model building structure. The main focus of these devices is to mitigate structural response under impulse‐like and seismic loading when the structure remains elastic. During the design process of the device, numerical simulations, optimizations, and parametric studies of the structure‐device system were performed to obtain stiffness parameters for the devices so that they can maximize the apparent damping of the fundamental mode of the structure. Pyramidal elastomeric springs were employed to physically realize the optimized essentially nonlinear spring components. Component‐level finite element analyses and experiments were conducted to design the nonlinear springs. Finally, shake table tests using impulse‐like and seismic excitation with different loading levels were performed to experimentally evaluate the performance of the device. Experimental results demonstrate that the properly designed devices can mitigate structural vibration responses, including floor acceleration, displacement, and column strain in an effective, rapid, and robust fashion. Comparison between numerical and experimental results verified the computational model of the nonlinear system and provided a comprehensive verification for the proposed device.

Solution of dynamic Green׳s function for unsaturated soil under internal excitation     

《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2014

The closed form three-dimensional Green׳s function of a semi-infinite unsaturated poroelastic medium subjected to an arbitrary internal harmonic loading is derived, with consideration of capillary pressure and dynamic shear modulus varying with saturation. By applying the Fourier expansion techniques and Hankel integral transforms to the circumferential and radial coordinates, respectively, the general solution for the governing partial differential equations is obtained in the transformed domain. A corresponding boundary value problem is formulated. The integral solutions for the induced displacements, pore pressure and net stress are then determined considering the continuity conditions. The formulas are compared with the degenerated solution of saturated soils and confirmed. Numerical results reveal that the response of the unsaturated half-space depends significantly on the saturation by altering dynamic shear modulus to account for the effects of matric suction on soil stiffness. Slight differences between the results occur if only the saturation is taken into account. Moreover, a large source-depth results in a pronounced contribution to the reduction of surface displacement amplitudes. The analytical solutions concluded in the study offer a broader application to dynamic response associated with axi-symmetric and asymmetric conditions.  相似文献   

Structural modal parameter identification and damage diagnosis based on Hilbert-Huang transform   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Traditional modal parameter identifi cation methods have many disadvantages,especially when used for processing nonlinear and non-stationary signals.In addition,they are usually not able to accurately identify the damping ratio and damage.In this study,methods based on the Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) are investigated for structural modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis.First,mirror extension and prediction via a radial basis function(RBF) neural network are used to restrain the troublesome end-effect issue in empirical mode decomposition(EMD),which is a crucial part of HHT.Then,the approaches based on HHT combined with other techniques,such as the random decrement technique(RDT),natural excitation technique(NExT) and stochastic subspace identifi cation(SSI),are proposed to identify modal parameters of structures.Furthermore,a damage diagnosis method based on the HHT is also proposed.Time-varying instantaneous frequency and instantaneous energy are used to identify the damage evolution of the structure.The relative amplitude of the Hilbert marginal spectrum is used to identify the damage location of the structure.Finally,acceleration records at gauge points from shaking table testing of a 12-story reinforced concrete frame model are taken to validate the proposed approaches.The results show that the proposed approaches based on HHT for modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis are reliable and practical.  相似文献

腐殖质的荧光特性被广泛用来解析其在各种天然环境中的来源及分布.由于荧光光谱分析具有灵敏度高,选择性好,且不破坏样品结构的优点,非常适合用来研究腐殖质的结构和官能团等特征.利用三维荧光激发-发射光谱研究了 Fluka腐殖酸的荧光光谱特性,结果显示,离子强度(0～0.05 mol/L KClO4)对 Fluka腐殖酸的三维荧光光谱特性影响非常小,而腐殖酸的浓度(5～100 mg/L)和溶液 pH(2～12)对其三维荧光光谱特性影响显著.当腐殖酸浓度增大时,荧光峰出现明显红移现象.荧光强度一般随着 pH的升高而增大,当 pH大于 10后呈下降趋势,我们从垃圾渗滤液溶解有机质的实验结果中也得到相同结论;在浓度为 50 mg/L和 100 mg/L的 Fluka腐殖酸中,荧光峰 B(fulvic-like)的荧光强度却在 pH=5.0左右时达到最大值,与前人报道的土壤富里酸的行为一致,质子化常数 lgK′ HL分别为 3.57和 3.13,与二羧基化合物接近,说明荧光峰 B可能与 Fluka腐殖酸结构中的羧基有关;荧光峰 A与荧光峰 B的荧光强度比值 r(A/B)在 0.61～2.59之间,并且在 pH=2～11范围内, r(A/B)与 pH具有较好的线性相关关系,表明荧光峰 A和荧光峰 B随着 pH值的改变有着相同的变化趋势.  相似文献   

力幅突变激扰作用的岩石边坡动力敏感性研究     

王建国  王振伟 《岩土力学》2013,34(6):1541-1545

动载荷作用引起岩石边坡失稳破坏,尤其力幅突变激扰作用对边坡稳定影响很大。对动、静载荷作用下岩石力学性质进行了分析,建立了岩石边坡非线性运动方程,分析了岩石边坡动力变形模型及非线性动力响应,得出当扰动频率增加到一定程度,滑体振幅突然增加,产生向上突跳并随力幅的增加继续增加;反之,当力幅较大并逐渐减小时,滑体振幅也随之减小,当扰动的振幅减小至一定程度,滑体振幅突然降低,产生向下突跳减小。对初始条件和力幅突变激扰对岩石力学非线性振动系统的影响进行了分析,得到初始条件的微小变化可引起系统响应的巨大差异,当振幅A极小时,线性系统的振荡很弱,它对非线性系统的作用也很弱,整个系统的运动便可看作两运动的独立叠加。当振幅A再加大到使其幅值超过非线性系统三奇点之间的间隔时,系统可以在这些奇点之间来回跃迁振荡,从而运动复杂化,随振幅A的增加,系统从倍周期运动向混运动变化,研究结果可为岩石边坡的动力稳定提供指导。  相似文献

针对"房桥合一"高速铁路客站质量、刚度分布严重不均匀、不同阻尼比构件繁多等特点,对其模态特征和用于时程法阻尼模型的确定进行了研究。通过位能加权激励原理和位能公式的阐述、天津西站II区的模态分析与振型分解时程法的应用,并以此为标准进行了5种不同瑞利阻尼比例系数时程法的响应比较。结果表明:位能加权法激励为各模态的振型响应,求得阻尼为振型阻尼,结构模态质量累计数突变发生在第9阶,选择第1,9阶振型确定的瑞利阻尼比例系数较合理。振型分解时程法的振型阻尼可基于振型响应的位能加权法确定,直接时程法的瑞利阻尼宜选择第1阶与模态质量累计数发生突变的振型来确定,可供结构设计与分析参考。  相似文献

韩建平  王洪涛  李林 《地震工程与工程振动》2012,32(4):182-187

对一基础隔震钢筋混凝土框架结构在无填充墙情况下进行了环境激励下的动力测试,重点利用Hilbert-Huang变换与随机减量技术相结合的方法识别了其模态参数,并与随机子空间识别法、有理分式多项式法识别的结果进行了对比。识别结果表明在环境激励下,基础隔震结构的基本周期远小于多遇和罕遇地震工况下设计计算的基本周期;等效黏滞阻尼比很小,近乎于基础固定模型。对隔震层阻尼特性的分析表明,环境激励下可以将基础隔震结构视为经典的比例阻尼系统。进一步以识别的模态参数为基准,采用优化的方法数值反演了环境激励下该结构隔震层的实际水平等效刚度,结果表明其值为多遇地震下计算刚度取值的10.75倍。  相似文献
