To realize starting operation and reduce position estimation error of switched reluctance motor (SRM) without position sensor, a novel control method based on pulse injection, divided angle section and variable threshold is presented. The starting operation of SRM can be accomplished by injecting high frequency pulse and judging position sectors. Variable threshold is used to reduce position estimation error. The value of threshold is obtained by looking up table prestored in controller. The method avoids complicated mathematical model and is suitable for starting operation with two phases. Besides, rotor position estimation error of this method is analyzed and the method which can decreased the error is proposed. At last, the experiment has been done to verify the performance of the control method.

Abstract Timoshenko has applied plate theory to each leg of an angle-section bar to determine the critical compressive load needed to cause sinusoidal torsional buckling. In this paper his idea is used to calculate the critical bending load needed to cause sinusoidal torsional buckling of an angle bar. The bending is assumed to be applied so that the extreme fibers of the angle are in compression, the vertex in tension. Approximate results are first obtained by means of the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The approximate deflection functions from which the energy terms are computed are based upon certain infinite-series solutions. After having obtained approximate results, exact values are obtained, using the approximate values as a guide to limit the amount of calculation. The results of this calculation are shown in Fig. 5, where they are compared with those predicted by bar theory. Differences between the two theories become more noticeable as the bar becomes short compared to its flange width. It is found that the critical bending load becomes larger very rapidly as the ratio of length to width of the flanges decreases. Bar theory predicts no such increase. The reason for this difference is explained.

AbstractThis paper deals with a Continuous Stiffness Degradation (CSD) version of advanced analysis of braced steel framing. It is based on the gradual stiffness degradation concept of frame and truss members. A novelty of the approach presented herein is related to the introduction of the bracing member response in the whole range of its behaviour in tension and compression, including the post-limit range. The validation of the proposed advanced analysis is performed for braced framework with rolled angle section braces. The validation of the brace force-deformation model has been presented in the author’s earlier publication. The basis for the presented CSD advanced analysis is briefly summarized and its difference with regard to the Refined Plastic Hinge (RPH) version of advanced analysis is emphasized. Experimental investigations dealing with tests on portal braced sub-frame specimens are referred to briefly. Results of the experimental investigations are presented in the form of a frame global response and they are used for the validation of the developed computational model.

Nonlinear Finite Element Model

The flattening behaviour of angle section beams subjected to pure bending is studied in this paper. Analytical solutions for static instabilities of angle section beams subjected to pure bending about its weak axis are derived using energy methods. Nonlinear finite element model using the code ANSYS is developed to simulate nonlinear snap-through instability of angle section beams under pure bending. The optimization assumption about flattening shape of the leg is proposed, through comparison of between the present solutions, experimental results, and the finite element results.

AbstractThis paper attempts to investigate the effect of various parameters on the axial compressive behavior of nano-silica concrete-filled angle steel reinforced GFRP tubular columns. The proposed new composite column consists of three parts: the outer GFRP tube, the inner angle section steel and the nano-silica concrete filled between GFRP tube and angle section steel. Twenty-seven specimens with different nano-silica concrete compressive strength (20MPa, 30MPa and 40MPa), diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube (20, 25 and 40) and steel ratio (0.008, 0.022 and 0.034) were tested under axial load. The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the three parameters on the following: failure modes, deformation capacity, load bearing capacity, ductility and initial stiffness of the new composite column under axial load. It was found that the load bearing capacity and initial stiffness increased as the nano-silica concrete compressive strength of the specimens increased. But the specimens with higher nano-silica concrete compressive strength showed lower deformation capacity than that of the specimens with lower nano-silica concrete compressive strength. The varieties of the steel ratio have no significant effect on the specimens’ axial deformation behavior. Experimental results also showed that both load bearing capacity and deformation capacity increased with the decrease of diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube. However, diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube has no significant effect on the initial stiffness of specimens. The confinement coefficient was proposed to better evaluate the confinement effect of GFRP tube on the inner angle section steel reinforced core nano-silica concrete. The confinement effect of GFRP tube on lower strength concrete was better, and the confinement effect reduced as the diameter-to-thickness ratio of GFRP tube increased. The design formulas for the load bearing capacity of the nano-silica concrete-filled angle steel reinforced GFRP tubular columns under axial load were proposed.
