Guyed Towers

In this paper, the structural optimization of high-rise guyed tower is carried out for the guyed wire and tower column schemes. The schemes are compared from the four guyed wires and eight guyed wires, the width of the tower column, the uniform cross-section tower column and the variable cross-section tower column, etc. And the single-column tower with eight guyed wires and variable cross-section is recommended for the high-rise guyed tower. Through the full-scale test study of the high-rise guyed tower, the safety of the high-rise guyed tower structural optimization and the feasibility of engineering application are verified. According to the technical and economic analysis of traditional self-supporting towers and high-rise guyed towers recommended in this paper, it can be seen that the weight and total cost of the high-rise guyed towers are 75.3% and 88.5% of the traditional self-supporting towers respectively, demonstrating the technical and economic advantages of the high-rise guyed towers. The advantages and disadvantages of high-rise guyed towers and self-supporting towers are summarized for reference in engineering design.

In practical engineering, we often encounter designs of variable cross-section or compound section skew girder bridge. While in many bibliographies, uniform cross-section of the concrete beams studying was carried out, but few of variable cross-section concrete beams were in-depth studied. Based on analyzing the mechanical behavior of variable cross-section beam skew girder bridge, the semi-analytic solution of variable cross-section beam skew girder bridges were provided in this paper. With this method developed a planar computation program to resolve the calculation problems of skew girder bridge, a more convenient way will be brought up for designers in calculation.

Axes Of Symmetry

This paper, which may be regarded as a companion to part I under the same title, is concerned with some aspects of both the nonlinear and the linear theories of elastic rods by a direct approach based on the theory of a Cosserat curve with two directors. Special attention is given to the development of the linear isothermal theory of straight isotropic rods of variable cross-section possessing two axes of symmetry. The resulting equations, which are applicable to rods of non-uniform section, separate into those appropriate for extensional, torsional and flexural modes of deformation. Application of these results to torsion and flexure of non-uniform rods are considered, and the problem of identification of constitutive coefficients for rods of uniform cross-section is dealt with at some length.

Section Design

The design and construction of solar concentrators heavily affects their cost, heat utilization and optical efficiency. Current trough concentrators support the reflector with an equivalent uniform beam configured from a metal grid sub-structure. Under gravity and wind loads, the support-structure stress distribution varies as a function of position of the structure and the tracking angle. In the conventional design, there is ample surplus stiffness and strength designed into some beams of the structure, which increases the overall weight and cost of the structure. This paper describes an approach towards structural optimization of trough concentrators (with the Eurotrough design taken as an example, that means that the safety factors and structure is similar with Eurotrough design) using a variable cross section beam. The main improvement of this approach comes from keeping the beams rigid and strong near the two ends (at the torque box structure) while allowing the middle of the structure to be relatively weak. Reducing the cross-sectional area of the central beams not only reduces amount of material needed for the structure but also reduces the deflection of the reflector. The simulated results show that the concentrator’s structural weight (including the torque box, endplates and cantilever arms) and the maximum displacement of the reflector are reduced about 15.3% (about 151.2kg per 12-metre long element) and 15.5%, respectively. This represents a meaningful capital and installation cost savings while at the same time improving the optical efficiency.

To study extruding soil caused of close-mouth step cross-section pipe Pile, model experimentals of five static piling tests with two constant cross-section pipe piles and three step cross-scetion pipe piles are performed in lab respectively and some observation points are installed for heave amount and horizontal displacement of soil surface around piles before tests.Results show that penetration resistance improved linearly with increasing of length of pile in soil and there has a turning point which become more and more obviously with increasing of average diameter of step cross-section pipe pile after the pile length in soil is 70cm.Comparing with uniform cross-section pipe pile, penetration resistance per unit volume is more bigger and increases with improving of variable cross-section ratio to step cross-section pipe pile.The swelling-up amount of soil around step cross-section pipe pile increases firstly, then decreases secondly ,and increases finally. Camparing with uniform cross-section pipe pile, the maximum heaves have 51.0% and 44.6% reduce respectively to setp cross-section pipe pile and the position of largest heaves moved from 1.0d to 1.5d.Moreover, the largest horizontal displacements have 24.6% and 26.9% reduce respectively to step cros-section pipe pile and the point of largest horizontal displacement moved from 2.0d to 2.5d.

Variable cross-section rods are used in many parts and mechanisms. For example, conical rods are widely used in percussion mechanisms. The strength of such parts directly depends on the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations. The paper presents a method that allows numerically finding the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations of an elastic rod with a variable cross section. This method is based on representing the cross-sectional area as an exponential function of a polynomial of degree n. Based on this idea, it was possible to formulate the Sturm-Liouville problem with boundary conditions of the third kind. The linearly independent functions of the general solution have the form of a power series in the variables x and λ, as a result of which the order of the characteristic equation depends on the choice of the number of terms in the series. The presented approach differs from the works of other authors both in the formulation and in the solution method. In the work, a rod with a rigidly fixed left end is considered, fixing on the right end can be either free, or elastic or rigid. The first three natural frequencies for various cross-sectional profiles are given. From the analysis of the numerical results it follows that in a rigidly fixed rod with thinning in the middle part, the first natural frequency is noticeably higher than that of a conical rod. It is shown that with an increase in the rigidity of fixation at the right end, the natural frequencies increase for all cross section profiles. The results of the study can be used to solve inverse problems of restoring the cross-sectional profile from a finite set of natural frequencies.
