Damage to bridge structures caused by vessel collision is a risk for bridges crossing water traffic routes. Therefore, safety around vessel collision of existing and planned bridges is one of the key technical problems that must be solved by engineering technicians and bridge managers. In the evaluation of the reliability of the bridge structure, the two aspects of vessel-bridge collision force and structural resistance need to be considered. As there are many influencing parameters, the performance function is difficult to express by explicit function. This paper combines the moment method theory of structural reliability with finite element analysis and proposes a statistical moment method based on finite element analysis for the calculation of vessel-bridge collision reliability, which solves the structural reliability problem with a nonlinear implicit performance function. According to the probability model based on current velocity, vessel velocity, and vessel collision tonnage, the estimate points in the standard normal space are converted into estimate points in the original state space through the Rosenblatt reverse transform. According to the estimate points in the original state space and the simplified dynamic load model of vessel-bridge collision, the sample time-history curve of random vessel-bridge collision force is generated, the dynamic response of the bridge structure and the structural resistance of the bridge are calculated by establishing a finite element model, and the failure probability and reliability index of the bridge structure is calculated according to the fourth-moment method. The statistical moment based on the finite element analysis is based on the finite element analysis and the moment method theory of structural reliability. The statistical moment of the limited performance function is calculated through a quite small amount of confirmatory finite element analysis, and the structural reliability index and failure probability are obtained. The method can be widely used in existing finite element analysis programs, greatly reducing the number of finite element analyses needed and improving the efficiency of structural reliability analysis.

The Difference

There are two types of combination between external and internal threads used in threaded pipe connections for pressure piping specified in industrial standards like JIS as well as ISO. One is the combination that taper external thread of pipe is engaged with taper internal thread of a fitting. The other is that taper external thread of pipe is engaged with parallel internal thread of a fitting. Taper thread is always used for external thread outside the pipe wall. Both taper thread and parallel one are applicable to internal thread inside the fittings. This paper evaluates the mechanical behaviors of threaded pipe-socket joints (or pipe-coupling joints) and the difference due to the thread type combinations by means of axisymmetric finite element analysis for 3/4” and 3” joints. The analysis shows that the taper-taper threads combination establishes the full-length contact over the engaged threads but the taper-parallel has only a pair of threads in contact at the 1st engaged thread from the end of socket, and the difference results in the different behaviors of the joints. Stress and strain pattern also completely differ due to the difference in the engaged thread length. No significant effect of the size has been found in the present analysis for 3/4”and 3” joints. Experimental tightening tests and pressure leak tests have also been carried out for 3/4” and 3” joints with taper-taper threads combination. The measured experimental stress for 3/4” joints has shown an agreement with the simulated one fairly well. The pressure leak tests have demonstrated that the taper-taper threaded pipe-socket joints can hold internal pressure without leakage without using thread seal tape or jointing compound under low-pressure service condition. The 3/4” joints have started leaking at 1–4MPaG of internal pressure. The 3” joints haven’t shown leakage even at 6MPaG of internal pressure applied.

Large longitudinal displacement would be generated by vehicle braking force in the girder of self-anchored suspension bridge, just as the floating system of cable-stayed bridge. In this paper, taking Pingsheng bridge as an engineering example, the vehicle braking force models are established according to traffic survey, furthermore dynamic response and vibration reduction of the bridge under vehicle braking force are investigated by finite element analysis. The results show that the longitudinal displacement of the girder is relatively large, and it can effectively be controlled by viscous dampers with optimal parameters.

A precise approach for the tooth profile modification (TPM) of helical gear is presented in the paper based on the static contact finite element analysis (FEA). The high-precision finite element model of helical meshing gear pairs is established. The type and amount of TPM are accurately determined by the static contact FEA results. The dynamic contact simulations of helical gears with and without tooth modification are investigated to estimate the vibration reduction effect of the TPM. Moreover the numerical simulations are compared with the experimental results. Both results show that the proposed precise TPM of helical gears is effective on vibration reduction around the working load, and the dynamic contact simulation is effective on estimating the vibration reduction influence of the TPM.

Abstract In the traditional finite element analysis method, when simulating the feasibility of aseismic structure design of long-span bridges, only finite element analysis is carried out on the bridge structure without considering the aseismic situation of the aseismic structure of the bridge under different schemes, which leads to one-sidedness of the simulation results. Therefore, a new simulation method for the feasibility study of seismic design of long-span bridges is proposed in this paper. 5 seismic isolation schemes for long-span bridge structures are designed. The lock-up devices and liquid viscous dampers are deployed in bridge structure. Numerical simulation of bridge structure is carried out by establishing calculation model and improved hierarchical Kerr spring model. The responses of long-span bridges under seismic loading for 5 seismic isolation schemes are analyzed. On this basis, the seismic performance of long-span bridges is tested by using the multi-point excitation motion equation, the response power spectrum and the structural dynamic reliability analysis based on the first transcendental failure criterion. Experimental results show that all the five seismic isolation schemes are feasible, and the seismic effect of the schemes 4 and 5 is the strongest. The maximum horizontal thrust of pier top is 6.27E+062, 0.50E+07 and 6.00E+06, 2.78E+07, respectively. The proposed method can be used to simulate the seismic response of long-span bridges.
