The study on lateral dynamic response of pile foundation in liquefiable soil is a significant part about seismic damage. In this paper, a new data acquisition system of FBG and calculation methods is used in the small shaking table test. The results show that FBG method used in this test is proved to be efficient and acceptable in both time characteristics and precision characteristics, it may be widely applied in the future doubtlessly. What’s more, the characteristics of p-y curves in different peak accelerations are discussed. And varying of maximum stress and displacement by corresponding acceleration is discussed. A contrast about p-y curve between dry sand and saturate sand is related, which provides a new direction in research about p-y curve.

This paper presents a design methodology to determine the optimal circumferential placement of cylindrical probes upstream of a turbine stage for reduced excitation forces. The potential flow forcing function generated by the probes is characterized by means of a Fourier analysis. A finite difference formulation is used to evaluate the sensitivity of the forcing function to the probe positions. An optimization scheme, based on the linear programming method, uses the sensitivity analysis results to reposition the probes such that the Fourier amplitudes of critical excitation orders are reduced. The results for an example design situation are presented.
