Susceptibility And Resistance

Cable-supported pipe system (CSPS) provides a suitable system of structure for meeting the stringent structural requirements of pipeline bridges. However, due to a composite action of cable with truss and pipe members, the sudden failure of its structural member may lead to undesired vibratory response and collapse. The occurrence of a sudden break of the CSPS structural member is characterized by spontaneous dynamics and internal force rearrangement. The present study aims to investigate parametrically the collapse susceptibility and resistance of scaled down CSPS model in the event of a sudden break of the cable member by combined experimental and numerical procedures. The displacement of the structure, the pattern of internal force rearrangement, and dynamic responses were comparatively evaluated. Experimental results depict imminent cable failure under load and attendant dynamic response, but without a total collapse of the CSPS structure. Critical members causing large dynamic response amplitudes were identified and the mitigation of collapse was evaluated. Dynamic increasing factor (DIF) methods was utilized for the evaluation of the dynamic response of the sudden cable break resulting from the pattern of responses between the cable members and the rest of the CSPS structure. Comparison with provisions in other studies shows higher values DIF of the CSPS cable members which led to proposed evaluation using dynamic factor (DF). Thus, the dynamic factors for the sudden break of various cable members along the span and the errors were also estimated considering the parametric of design variables which will enable easy utilization during the structural process of CSPS.

Abstract This paper presents procedures for designing compact spur gear sets with the objective of minimizing the gear size. The allowable tooth stress and dynamic response are incorporated in the process to obtain a feasible design region. Various dynamic rating factors were investigated and evaluated. The constraints of contact stress limits and involute interference combined with the tooth bending strength provide the main criteria for this investigation. A three-dimensional design space involving the gear size, diametral pitch, and operating speed was developed to illustrate the optimal design of spur gear pairs. The study performed here indicates that as gears operate over a range of speeds, variations in the dynamic response change the required gear size in a trend that parallels the dynamic factor. The dynamic factors are strongly affected by the system natural frequencies. The peak values of the dynamic factor within the operating speed range significantly influence the optimal gear designs. The refined dynamic factor introduced in this study yields more compact designs than AGMA dynamic factors.

Based on soil-structure interaction model, the seismic dynamic response of tunnel in karst areas were performed by using viscous-spring artificial boundary and time history analysis method. In combination with the Menglian tunnel engineering on the Bao-Teng Highway in Yunnan, in different sizes and sites karst caves conditions, the dynamic responses of displacement and internal force on control points of the tunnel structure were obtained. The results show that comparatively large interal forces, under the high-intensity earthquake conditions, will appear on the side wall of the tunnel which through karst areas, less ones on arch crown and inverted arch parts, and the differential displacements of arch crown reach to the maximum. When the karst caves are located in the side of the tunnel, it make the seismic dynamic response get more large, which make the surrounding rock must be strengthened treatment. The results provide useful reference for the aseismatic design of tunnel.

Stochastic Seismic Response

Based on stochastic seismic response and time-history seismic response analysis，Dynamic response laws of the high slope constructions by three real seismic waves and a synthetic seismic wave were studied using finite - element method, discussing the differentiation and relation between the high slope constructions and ground constructions. The results show that the dynamic response on high slope constructions are less intensive than ground constructions due to delaying effect of high slope soil acts on the structure, but its internal force stronger than ground constructions as the pile in high slope constructions are anti-sliding and bearing. Results are conducive to the seismic design of high slope constructions.

According to the actual working condition of the gear, the supporting gear shaft is treated as an elastic support. Its impact on the gear body vibration is considered and investigated and the dynamic response of elastic teeth and gear body is analyzed. On this basis, the gear body is considered as a three-dimensional elastic disc and the gear teeth are treated as an elastic cantilever beam. Under the conditions of the elastic boundary (support shaft), combining to the elastic disk and elastic teeth, the influence of three-dimensional elastic discs on the meshing tooth response under an elastic boundary condition is also included. A dynamic model of the gear support system and calculated model of the gear tooth response are then established. The inherent characteristics of the gear support system and dynamics response of the meshing tooth are presented and simulated. It was shown by the results that it is correct to use the elastic support condition to analyze the gear support system. Based on the above three-dimensional elastic dynamics analysis, this paper set up a dynamics coupling model of a cracked gear structure support system that considered the influence of a three-dimensional elastic disc on a cracked meshing tooth under elastic conditions. It discusses the dynamic characteristic of the cracked gear structure system and coupling dynamic response of the meshing tooth, offering a three-dimensional elastic body model of the tooth root crack and pitch circle crack with different sizes, conducting the three-dimensional elastic dynamic analysis to the faulty crack. ANSYS was employed to carry out dynamic responses, as well as to simulate the acoustic field radiation orientation of a three-dimensional elastic crack body at the tooth root crack and pitch circle with different sizes.

As an alternative to the conventional intact stability criterion for floating offshore structures, known as the area-ratio-based criterion, the dynamic-response-based intact stability criteria was initially developed in the 1980s for column-stabilized drilling units and later extended to the design of floating production installations (FPIs). Both the area-ratio-based and dynamic-response-based intact stability criteria have recently been adopted for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). In the traditional area-ratio-based criterion, the stability calculation is quasi-static in nature, with the contribution from external forces other than steady wind loads and FOWT dynamic responses captured through a safety factor. Furthermore, the peak wind overturning moment of FOWTs may not coincide with the extreme storm wind speed normally prescribed in the area-ratio-based criterion, but rather at the much smaller rated wind speed in the power production mode. With these two factors considered, the dynamic-response-based intact stability criterion is desirable for FOWTs to account for their unique dynamic responses and the impact of various operating conditions. This paper demonstrates the implementation of a FOWT intact stability assessment using the dynamic-response-based criterion. Performance-based criteria require observed behavior or quantifiable metrics as input for the method to be applied. This is demonstrated by defining the governing load cases for two conceptual FOWT semisubmersible designs at two sites. This work introduces benchmarks comparing the area-ratio-based and dynamic-response-based criteria, gaps with current methodologies, and frontier areas related to the wind overturning moment definition.

Demand for renewable energy sources is rapidly increasing since they are able to replace depleting fossil fuels and their capacity to act as a carbon neutral energy source. A substantial amount of such clean, renewable and reliable energy potential exists in offshore winds. The major engineering challenge in establishing an offshore wind energy facility is the design of a reliable and financially viable offshore support for the wind turbine tower. An economically feasible support for an offshore wind turbine is a compliant platform since it moves with wave forces and offer less resistance to them. Amongst the several compliant type offshore structures, articulated type is an innovative one. It is flexibly linked to the seafloor and can move along with the waves and restoring is achieved by large buoyancy force. This study focuses on the experimental investigations on the dynamic response of a three-legged articulated structure supporting a 5MW wind turbine. The experimental investigations are done on a 1: 60 scaled model in a 4m wide wave flume at the Department of Ocean Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. The tests were conducted for regular waves of various wave periods and wave heights and for various orientations of the platform. The dynamic responses are presented in the form of Response Amplitude Operators (RAO). The study results revealed that the proposed articulated structure is technically feasible in supporting an offshore wind turbine because the natural frequencies are away from ocean wave frequencies and the RAOs obtained are relatively small.

<span>Since the early 1980s, fast torque dynamic control has been a subject of research in AC drives. To achieve superior torque dynamic control, two major techniques are used, namely Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Direct Torque Control (DTC), spurred on by rapid advances in embedded computing systems. Both approaches employ the space vector modulation (SVM) technique to perform the voltage source inverter into over modulation region for producing the fastest torque dynamic response. However, the motor current tends to increase beyond its limit (which can damage the power switches) during the torque dynamic condition, due to inappropriate flux level (i.e. at rated stator flux). Moreover, the torque dynamic response will be slower, particularly at high speed operations since the increase of stator flux will produce negative torque slopes more often. The proposed research aims to formulate an optimal switching modulator and produce the fastest torque dynamic response. In formulating the optimal switching modulator, the effects of selecting different voltage vectors on torque dynamic responses will be investigated. With greater number of voltage vectors offered in dual inverters, the identification of the most optimal voltage vectors for producing the fastest torque dynamic responses will be carried out based on the investigation. The main benefit of the proposed strategy is that it provides superior fast torque dynamic response which is the main requirements for many AC drive applications, e.g. traction drives, electric transportations and vehicles.</span>

In order to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings in the process of tunnel blasting excavation, taking Yangjia tunnel blasting through a five-story frame structure residential building as an example, the propagation law of blasting seismic wave was analyzed by using HHT method through on-site blasting monitoring. Then, the ALE algorithm in ANSYS/LS-DYNA software was used to establish a three-dimensional numerical model based on the surrounding rock-cutting section-structure coupling to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings under the blasting vibration of tunnel. The results show that the HHT analysis method can clearly describe the energy distribution of vibration signals in the time and frequency domain. The energy carried by the blasting vibration signal is corresponding to the detonating section, and the maximum energy appears in the cutting section, which further verifying that the vibration effect caused by the cutting hole blasting is the strongest. In the process of tunnel blasting, the dynamic responses of beams, columns and exterior walls of adjacent buildings are not consistent and show different variation rules along the height direction. In addition, the stress centralization mainly occurs in the exterior wall of the building, the joint of the exterior wall and the column, the joint of the exterior wall and the beam, and the joint of the exterior wall and the floor and other non-weight bearing area, indicating that these parts are more likely to damage and crack in the process of tunnel blasting.
