Research on the safety of powerhouse in a hydropower station is mostly concentrated on the vibration of machinery structure and concrete structure within a single unit. However, few studies have been focused on the vibration transmission among units. Due to the integrity of the powerhouse and the interaction, it is necessary to study the vibration transmission mechanism of powerhouse structure among units. In this paper, field structural vibration tests are conducted in an underground powerhouse of a hydropower station on Yalong River. Additionally, the simplified mechanical models are established to explain the transmission mechanism theoretically. Moreover, a complementary finite element (FE) model is built to replicate the testing conditions for comprehensive analysis. The field tests results show that: (1) the transmission of lateral-river vibration is greater than those of longitude-river vibration and vertical vibration; (2) the vibration transmission of the vibrations that is caused by the low frequency tail fluctuation is basically equal to that of the vibrations caused by rotation of hydraulic generator. The transmission mechanism is demonstrated by the simplified mechanical models and is verified by the FE results. This study can provide guidance for further research on the vibration of underground powerhouse structure.

Vibration transmission from columns into built up structures is studied using laboratory models. Beams attached to plates, forming built up structures, can influence transmission characteristics at these joints. Good agreement is found between measured and predicted results. The orientation of the beams effects coupling and strongest coupling is through a twisting moment applied to the beam. The effects of these changes in coupling on sound transmission between floors is discussed.

Abstract In this paper, a technique is presented for improving the efficiency of the Craig-Bampton method of Component Mode Synthesis (CMS). An eigenanalysis is performed on the partitions of the CMS mass and stiffness matrices that correspond to the so-called constraint modes. The resultant eigenvectors are referred to as “characteristic constraint modes,” since they represent the characteristic motion of the interface between the component structures. By truncating the characteristic constraint modes, a CMS model with a highly-reduced number of degrees of freedom may be obtained. An example of a cantilever plate is considered. It is shown that relatively few characteristic constraint modes are needed to yield accurate approximations of the lower natural frequencies. This method also provides physical insight into the mechanisms of vibration transmission in complex structures.
