With the increasing of embankment culvert engineering applications, there has been due in part to the structural design is too conservative and not economic or select unreasonable structural form, leading to the phenomenon of cracking or even collapse of the culvert structure, and the phenomenon has seriously affected the normal use of the highway. In this paper, the numerical simulation of vertical earth pressure distribution on different structural forms of embankment on culverts, to discuss the impact of boundary conditions, fill height, the thickness of the culvert culverts vertical earth pressure. Combined with Heda highway a culvert covert field test results and numerical simulation results were compared and analyzed. The results show that the numerical simulation and field test results in good agreement with the culvert structure in the form of vertical earth pressure of the embankment culverts have a greater impact; the structure of different forms of the culvert in the upper soil pressure is significantly different. In addition, analysis of the impact of boundary conditions, filling height of culvert vertical earth pressure values. The results can reference for the study of the structural design of the embankment culverts security.

Based on reinforced earth retaining wall of green gabion which is built at the site of seventh project Shaoxing-Zhuji Expressway, the research for soil pressure in a cross section which locate at the site of K38+398kmare made by field test and numerical analysis. The horizontal and vertical earth pressure are studied in the construction, The pressures between field test and numerical analysis which depend on FLAC3D are rough similar. With increased of height in filling soil, the earth pressures on the wall toe in 3 direction such as horizon , vertical, 45°are increased ,and then gradually come to stability after construction. With increased of height in filling soil, the vertical earth pressures is increased, but the distribution for earth pressure at the same height is non-uniform. The horizontal earth pressure on the back of wall surface increases fast at first then decreases a little, which is a single peak-shaped, it distributes along the wall height in non-linear form, the maximum occurs at 1/3H. The result between field test and numerical model are different, because the flexible wall surface has a great affection on unload.

Tests of bird strike have been carried out on plate made from LY-12 Aluminium. The test was down with the projectile impacting the target perpendicularly at velocity of 40m/s, 80m/s, 120m/s respectively. The displacement-time history curves and strain-time history curves of on LY-12 Aluminium plate were measured. The good agreement of the results between two specimens in one group indicated that the results tested in the presnet paper are reliable. The dynamic response of the plate and damage modes of the bird influenced by striking velocity were analyzed. The peak value of the displacement linear enlarged with the increasing of the striking velocity. The test results in the present paper provided valuable data for aircraft design impacted by bird, and also provided abundant test datas for the numerical simulation model applied in bird striking.

Impact Echo Method

To identify shield grouting quality based on impact echo method, an impact echo test of segment-grouting (SG) test piece was carried out to explore effect of acoustic impedance of grouting layers and grouting defects on impact echo law. A finite element numerical simulation on the impact echo process was implemented. Test results and simulation results were compared. Results demonstrated that, under some working conditions, finite element simulation results and test results both agree with theoretical values. The acoustic impedance ratio of SG material influenced the echo characteristics significantly. But thickness frequency could not be detected under some working conditions because the reflected energy is weak. Frequency feature under grouting defects was more complicated than that under no grouting defects.

Abstract In order to understand mechanism of the impact between head and disk of a HDD subject to a shock and to improve the shock resistance effectively, it is essential to develop a dynamic model which can represent well the head slap. Although motion of the head and disk subject to a shock requires modeling by a continuous system to be rigorous, in this study, a simplified lumped parameter model is developed to understand basic dynamics of the head slap and to determine crucial parameters for the improvement of the structural design. In addition, drop test results of the HDD are presented to back to up the derived model.

The two-floor flow passages pumping system with the simple structure is well practical in the Basin of Yangzi River downstream. However, this kind of pumping system has some disadvantages, such as low efficiency, easy to appear submerse vortex in discharge flow passages which causes the unit vibration and does harm to the operating of pump unit. In order to solve these problems, the design scheme with a new curve of diffusing outlet structure and inlet cone put forward, which are used in the renovation of the two-floor flow passages pumping station. With the numerical simulation of the two-floor flow passages pumping system, the flow fields are analyzed, and the external performance curves are obtained. To verify the calculation, a model tests were done using the standard model of pump. The test results are compared with the performance curves of numerical simulation. Good agreement of two results is found in the high efficiency area, which can show the calculation is believable. The new design improves the efficiency of pumping system significantly and eliminates the submerse vortex, also can guarantees the economy and security of operating.
