The roof model of the palace timber buildings was established according to the construction technology of the Ying-tsao fa-shih. Based on its analysis of dynamic behavior with shaking table test and ANSYS finite element software, the dynamic behavior of structure and its maximal response under different conditions were gotten, and also the dynamic magnification factor of the beams layer and the whole structure were gotten, at last the results got by shaking table test was compared with the numerical simulation. Research shows that the nature frequency of the model is 1.486 Hz which is much bigger than that of the whole structure; the maximal displacement of beam layer gradually increases with the increase of ground motion intensity and the height of structure; the vibration isolation performance of semi-rigid tenon-mortise joints in rare earthquake (400gal) is better than that in moderate earthquake (220gal) and frequent earthquake (110gal); the dynamic magnification factor between layers was about 1, and roof 0.9 or so.

To study the seismic performance of hollow reinforced concrete piers under dynamic loads, nine hollow pier specimens with different stirrup ratios, reinforcement ratios, and axial compression ratios are designed and manufactured. The El Centro wave, Taft wave, and artificial Lanzhou wave are selected as seismic excitation for the shaking table test. The effects of the reinforcement ratio, stirrup ratio, and axial compression ratio on the failure mode, period, damping, acceleration and displacement response, dynamic magnification factor, ductility, and energy dissipation of specimens under different working conditions are studied. The results show that all the nine reinforced concrete piers have good seismic performance. Subjected to ground motion excitation, horizontal through cracks appeared on the pier surface. With the increase of ground motion excitation, the period of piers increases but the maximum period does not exceed 0.62 s, and the damping ratio increases as well and ranges from 0.02 to 0.064. With the increase of the ground motion excitation, the acceleration response of pier specimens increases, the dynamic magnification factor decreases, the displacement ductility coefficient decreases, and the energy dissipation of the specimens increases. The reinforcement ratio, stirrup ratio, and axial compression ratio have different effects on the above parameters. The test results can provide reference for seismic design of hollow rectangular piers and have certain engineering significance and value.

Abstract In Japan, most structures on the ground surface need seismic countermeasures because of frequently earthquakes. On the other hand, vibration isolation devices are applied to precision or important equipment in several facilities that dislikes vibration in order to reduce daily vibration. In general, vibration isolation devices are intended for high frequency and small amplitude range. However, it is difficult to cut off both vibration region caused by flying object collision and seismic motion with existing technologies. The authors propose insulation of equipment and vibration transmitted through the floor by floating equipment, and have. We have devised and built an air floating device that operates when a trigger input is applied to save the energy of this dynamically acting device. It was estimated by numerical calculation that the aero floating device keeps lifting stably in the condition with the air pressure in the auxiliary air chamber about 75 to 80 kPa. The performance specifications of the proposed device were verified from shaking table test. As a result, the effect of reducing the maximum acceleration by about 1/5 against the seismic motion of El Centro NS, Taft NS, Tohoku NS, and Hachinohe EW was confirmed by floating the mass on the frame assuming the equipment. From the obtained power spectrum diagram (PSD) of the response acceleration, it was confirmed that all frequency components up to 25 Hz is reduced by using proposed aero floating base isolation device.

Unreinforced stone masonry pagodas have great cultural value and should be detailed investigation its mechanical properties. These buildings were not designed to resist earthquakes in ancient China, at least not in the way of current methods. The objectives of this research were to understand the dynamic behavior of unreinforced stone masonry pagoda and its seismic performance. To accomplish these, a 1/12 scale model of China Dinosaurs Pagoda was constructed and tested on shaking table. The octangle model height is 3.96m, with aspect ratio of height to width is 2.93, both parameters exceed the stipulated limit of Code for Seismic Design of Building. The model built with the stones and motars similar to the prototype materials and the arrangements. Its dynamic behavior and seismic performance were tested on the shaking table towards the free vibration and three earthquake waves. The experimental program adopted in the research is explained in this paper.

Packaging Structure

A novel vibration damping structure is designed based on the existing package structure of MEMS vector hydrophone. It is desirable that this novel structure can isolate the vibration noise caused by working platform so as to improve the anti-noise ability of hydrophone. This novel structure is made of “dow corning” damping silicone rubber which is manufactured with a certain proportion because of its small Young’s Modulus. The hydrophone is fabricated in the form of original packaging structure firstly and then in vibration-isolation packaging structure. Laboratory tests by means of the shaking table test and standing-wave tube test are performed to validate the theoretical results. The test results prove that the vibration damping structure can effectively isolate the interference signal produced by working platform without affecting the sensitivity of hydrophone obviously.

Artificial Boundaries

Abstract A new arc consistent viscous-spring artificial boundary (ACVAB) was proposed by changing a traditional flat artificial boundary based on the theory of viscous-spring artificial boundaries. Through examples, the concept underpinning the establishment, and specific setting of, the boundary in the finite element software were described. Through comparison with other commonly used artificial boundaries in an example for near-field wave analysis using the two-dimensional (2-d) half-space model, the reliability of the ACVAB was verified. Furthermore, the ACVAB was used in the numerical analysis of the effects of an earthquake of underground structures. The results were compared with shaking-table test results on underground structures. On this basis, the applicability of the ACVAB to a numerical model of the seismic response of underground structures was evaluated. The results show that the boundary is superior to common viscous-spring boundaries in terms of accuracy and stability, and therefore it can be used to evaluate radiation damping effects of seismic response of underground structures and is easier to use.
