The Impact

This article deals with the method of computer-aided studies of the results of tank container impact tests to confirm the ability of portable tanks and multi-element gas containers to withstand the impact in the longitudinal direction on a specially equipped test rig or using a railway flat car by impacting a flat car with a striking car, in compliance with the requirements of the UN Navigation Rules and Regulations. It is shown that the main assessed characteristic of the UN requirements is the spectrum of the shock response (accelerations) for the interval natural frequencies of the shock pulse. The calculation of the points of the shock response spectrum curve based on the test results is reproduced in four stages. A test configuration of the impact testing of the railway flat car with a tank container is presented, and the impact is performed in such a way that, under a single impact, the shock spectrum curve obtained during the tests for both fittings subjected to impact repeats or exceeds the minimum shock spectrum curve for all frequencies in the range of 2 Hz to 100 Hz. Formulas for determining the relative displacements and accelerations for the interval natural frequencies of the shock wave are given. The research results are presented in graphical form, indicating that the experimental values of the shock response spectrum exceed the minimum permissible values; the equation of the experimental curve of the shock response spectrum in the frequency range 0–100 Hz is described by power-law dependence. The coefficients of the equation were determined by the statistical method of maximum likelihood with the determination factor being 0.897, which is a satisfactory value; a comparative analysis showed that the experimental curve of the impact response spectrum in the frequency range 0–100 Hz exceeds the normalized curve, which confirms compliance with regulatory requirements. A new test configuration is proposed using a tank car with a bulk liquid, the processes in which upon impact differ significantly from other freight wagons under longitudinal impact loads of the tank container. The hydraulic impact resulting from the impact on the tank container and the platform creates an overturning moment that causes the rear fittings to be unloaded.

Nonlinear Time History

The steel–concrete hybrid wind turbine tower is characterized by the concrete tubular segment at the lower part and the traditional steel tubular segment at the upper part. Because of the great change of mass and stiffness along the height of the tower at the connection of steel segment and concrete segment, its dynamic responses under seismic ground motions are significantly different from those of the traditional steel tubular wind turbine tower. Two detailed finite element models of a full steel tubular tower and a steel–concrete hybrid tower for 2.0 MW wind turbine built in the same wind farm are, respectively, developed by using the finite element software ABAQUS. The response spectrum method is applied to analyze the seismic action effects of these two towers under three different ground types. Three groups of ground motions corresponding to three ground types are used to analyze the dynamic response of the steel–concrete hybrid tower by the nonlinear time history method. The numerical results show that the seismic action effect by the response spectrum method is lower than those by the nonlinear time history method. And then it can be concluded that the response spectrum method is not suitable for calculating the seismic action effects of the steel–concrete hybrid tower directly and the time history analyses should be a necessary supplement for its seismic design. The first three modes have obvious contributions on the dynamic response of the steel–concrete hybrid tower.

Modes Of Vibration

Typical seismic analysis using response spectrum method involves several steps from the initial step of extracting the modes. At the initial stage Eigen values are extracted corresponding to the modes of vibration. These give us Eigen vectors which are a series of relative displacement shapes; however these do not correspond to real displacements or stresses. Participation factors asses these Eigen vectors and grades them according to contribution they will have to the overall solution. Based on the spectral seismic acceleration, participation factor is used to calculate the mode coefficient, which is more of a scaling factor to give physical meaning to the values. Once the modes are extracted, the key issue is of combining these modes to obtain the seismic response. The modes cannot be added algebraically in reality as all the modes do not occur at the same time. Hence we employ methods which can add the modes in a more realistic manner. The objective of this paper is to do a comparative study of various mode combination methods with a focus on tank structures and study the effect of various geometrical parameters on the combination methods
