Straight Lines

In structural dynamic analysis, the blind source separation (BSS) technique has been accepted as one of the most effective ways for modal identification, in which how to extract the modal parameters using very limited sensors is a highly challenging task in this field. In this paper, we first review the drawbacks of the conventional BSS methods and then propose a novel underdetermined BSS method for addressing the modal identification with limited sensors. The proposed method is established on the clustering features of time-frequency (TF) transform of modal response signals. This study finds that the TF energy belonging to different monotone modals can cluster into distinct straight lines. Meanwhile, we provide the detailed theorem to explain the clustering features. Moreover, the TF coefficients of each modal are employed to reconstruct all monotone signals, which can benefit to individually identify the modal parameters. In experimental validations, two experimental validations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Elastically Supported

In this paper, an analytical method of the beam with springs and dampers fixed at the ends was proposed based on equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF) system and secondary Lagrange’s dynamic equations, in order to develop a new effective method to enhance the aseismic capability of underground structures. The dynamic response of elastically supported and damply supported beams subjected to both seismic loading and static axial loading was analyzed by the proposed analytical procedure. The theoretical results were validated by the numerical simulation. In order to further investigate the effects of springs and dampers fixed at the ends of the columns in nonlinear response situation, the 3D nonlinear seismic responses of the Dakai metro station structure with and without the isolators were analyzed by ABAQUS respectively. It is demonstrated that: (1) the proposed analytical procedure can predict the dynamic response of beams with elastic and damper supports subjected to both seismic loading and axial loading. (2) Setting isolators at the supports of the column could enhance the aseismic capability of the structure effectively. (3) The axial static loading induced by the gravity of the soil and structure provide the constraint on the column, and therefore could not be neglected in the structural dynamic analysis.

The Time Domain

Simulation of the time histories of second-order wave effects is often performed by quadratic transformation of a wave time history. By the present approach, the quadratic transformation of waves is approximated by linear combinations of the products of component wave time records and their Hilbert transforms. The computational efficiency is greatly enhanced. The efficient quadratic transformation of a time history is for the time domain solution of structural dynamic response, and can also be used as a post-processor of the frequency domain solution for obtaining statistic parameters of dynamic response.

Stiffness And Damping

For an assembled structure with many bolted joints, predicting its dynamic response with high fidelity is always a difficult problem, because of the nonlinearity introduced by friction contact between jointed interfaces. The friction contact results in nonlinear stiffness and damping to a structure. To realize predictive simulation in structural dynamic design, these nonlinear behaviors must be carefully considered. In this paper, the dynamics of a multi-bolt jointed beam is calculated. A modified IWAN constitutive model, which can consider both tangential micro/macro slip and nonzero residual stiffness at macroslip phase, is developed to model nonlinear contact behaviors due to joint interfaces. A whole interface element integrating the proposed constitutive model is developed. The element is used to model the nonlinear stiffness and damping caused by bolted joints. The interface element is placed between the two contact interfaces. The other part of the beam is modeled by linear beam elements. A Matlab code is developed to realize the proposed nonlinear finite element dynamic analysis method. A hammer impact experiment for the bolt-jointed beam is conducted under different excitation force levels. The calculated nonlinear numerical results are compared with experimental results. It is shown that the effect of joint nonlinearity on structural dynamics can be observed from the response predicted by the proposed method. The numerical results agree well with the experimental results. This work validates the necessary of using nonlinear joint model for dynamic simulation of jointed structures.
