Bridge Spans

Regulation of the dynamic properties of bridge spans is a priority field of this research, which solves the problem of increasing the obsolescence and physical periods of bridge structures manifested both at the design stage of the load redistribution in the load bearing and during long-term operation.Over the past 40 years, technical bridge diagnostics has shown that the durability and safe long-term operation can be ensured by the improved calculations, operation and stress and strain control under the excess and over-calculated live loads.The aim of this work is to control the dynamic deformation and amplitude-frequency characteristics of bridge spans under harmonic random (non-stationary) oscillations of the span-vehicle system due to changes in the energy and stress state of the structure. The dynamic behavior of the span-vehicle system is based on the control for the amplitude-frequency characteristics of random oscillations by averaged values, the required spectral density being provided.The use of dynamic dampers for the system element control and the rigidity of junctions provide antiphase oscillations of the bridge span elements such as beams and decks, that leads to the unaccounted inertial forces.Another important element of the joint work imbalance of the bridge span elements during the dynamic load, are various defects, both in the deck design and load-bearing elements. It is assumed that the deck is a transfer layer (element) of vibrations induced by a vehicle in the beams. It is shown that the control for the dynamic properties is required in the case of a coincidence between the vehicle and beam stiffness and mass at the center of the system rigidity.The attention is paid to the conditions and dependencies between the dynamic load parameters and the stress-strain state of the bridge beams at the elastic and elastoplastic stages, with respect to the additional inertia of the system. This approach is the pilot in the Russian and foreign bridge construction in terms of experimental studies and testing of bridges for continuous random traffic.The dynamic testing of bridge spans for random traffic flow contributes to the creation of vibration diagnostic express laboratories necessary for the operation and maintenance of bridges.

The work concerns the research of a propulsion system for an unmanned aerial vehicle MOSUPS in joined wing configuration. Modeling, analysis and experimental research of a statically unbalanced rotor of a ducted fan propulsion system has been conducted.The aim of the analysis was to determine the critical rotational speeds of the rotor due to the probable excitation of oscillations. Due to the complex geometry, Finite Element Method has been used for the calculations. In the study, the critical frequencies (and also rotational speeds) of the rotor as well as precessional instability, flexibly mounted in the bearings have been calculated. Campbell and SAFE diagrams have been presented.Furthermore, the paper presents the idea for a device for automatic dynamic balancing of the mentioned rotor. A mechanism for changing the position of the correction weights has been developed, allowing for a long term operation of rotating parts without the need to stop the unit and correcting the unbalance.The main motivation for work was to fully understand the working conditions of the propulsion system and dynamic properties of the rotor in order to carry out a proper assessment of their impact on the safe operation of the aircraft.

In recent years, there is a trend towards increasing the failure rate of buildings and structures as a result of unforeseen situations. This study is aimed at assessing the operational reliability of the structure to prevent emergencies and progressive collapse. The behavior of structures affected by various factors was analyzed. The operational condition of a building with stone walls and a rigid structural frame constructed in the middle of the 20th century was considered. By means of a detailed instrumental examination, effects of long-term operation, climatic factors and violations during construction on the serviceability of the building were analyzed. Geotechnical conditions of the site were investigated. Necessary re-calculations for load-bearing structural elements and foundations were carried out. An expected failure diagram for vertical load-bearing structures of the building is presented. Proposals for preventing progressive collapse were developed on the basis of the author's technique.

The paper presents results of studies on the crystallite sizes of oxide layer formed during a long-term operation on 10CrMo9-10 steel at an elevated temperature (T = 545° C, t = 200,000 h). This value was determined by a method based on analysis of the diffraction line profile, according to a Scherrer formula. The oxide layer was studied on a surface and a cross-section at the outer and inner site on the pipe outlet, at the fire and counter-fire wall of the tube. X-ray studies were carried out on the surface of a tube, then the layer’s surface was polished and the diffraction measurements repeated to reveal differences in the originated oxides layer.
