Various Hysteresis Models and Nonlinear Response Analysis

The precise model and the analysis of nonlinear response are important for the landing gear research. In this paper, the FEM model of landing gear was established. The shock absorber is modeled with the nonlinear spring and damper. Random displacements were applied for simulating runway unevenness at aircraft taxiing. Through the simulation, the nonlinear FEM dynamic response of landing gear was acquired. The results show that: the stress of landing gear is large in the landing progress, especially for the random displacements; the weakness of landing gear is the axle sleeve. So the material and technology of the axle sleeve are important in the design of landing gear.

Judgment Condition

For the displacement-constraint device with hysteric-friction isolation system, the judgment condition of soft-collision between the isolation layer and displacement-constraint device is put forward, the motion equation of the isolation system in consideration of friction and soft-collision is established, the nonlinear analysis program is worked out, and several kinds of inflection points in the program are given and the corresponding processing method of the inflection points is introduced. The nonlinear response analysis of the isolation system results indicate the displacement-restraint device can ensure the upper structure safety; also can decrease the displacement of the isolated layer.

This paper introduces the damage statistics of reinforced concrete buildings after the 1985 Mexico earthquake, the 1990 Ruzon (Philippines) earthquake, the 1992 Erzincan (Turkey) earthquake, and the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Kobe) earthquake. These data were obtained in severely damaged areas in each earthquake through the inventory damage investigation of the Architectural Institute of Japan teams. The damage statistics indicated severer damage in taller buildings and significantly less damage in low-rise buildings. A series of nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom systems having minimum code required lateral resistance were analyzed using the earthquake motions recorded near the area of damage survey. Contrary to the statistics, the nonlinear response analysis results showed higher ductility demand (damage) in lower buildings.
