A large-scale earthquake simulation experiment about the unanchored cylindrical steel liquid storage model tanks has been completed. The self-vibration characteristics of the model tanks with liquid inside were investigated based on the experimental data of the acceleration dynamic response. The seismic table test, the analysis methods are designed and conducted, and experimental results of the model tanks were carefully measured. Furthermore, ANSYS finite element software was used to simulate and calculate the low order natural frequency and fundamental frequency of the model tank systems according to the national design standard. The reasons for the existence of consistency and differences between the results obtained from experiments and numerical simulation were discussed.

In article we analyzes the conventional experimental method’s characteristic and expatiates the predominance of numerical simulation experiment. The numerical simulation experiment is applied in teaching text in civil engineering school of Henan Polytechnic University and obtained the very good teaching effect. Numerical simulation experiment can simulate routine experiment and get curve and data which can’t be obtained by normal test. Numerical simulation experiment also can simulate large-scale project which can't be done by conventional experiment.

The fuel-air mixture explosion incidents in the large-scale metal oil storage tank are frequent occurrence and rapidly extend because of the tank structure being fractured and damaged by the fuel-air mixture explosion. In this paper, the simulation experiment and numerical simulation has been carried out for the fuel-air mixture explosion in the large-scale metal storage tank. The shock waves characteristic of the explosive pressure has been studied and discussed. The fracture and damage effects caused by the shock waves characteristic to the tank structure has been analyzed and discussed too.

In the past, the semi-active control study generally is calculated based on the MATLAB numerical procedure, which cant achieve fine simulation. In this paper, to solve this problem, the finite element software ABAQUS is taken to be secondary development, a numerical simulation method of studying semi-active control is proposed. And the seismic response of a steel column is taken for the research. the numerical simulation analysis of the semi-active control is carried out. The results show that the control effect of the control method is significant, and the simulation result is clearly visible.

Based on the finite element software ABAQUS, this paper deals with numerical simulation to dynamic response of reinforced concrete wall under blast loading. Study shows that the explosion resistance performance of the wall with four edges fixed or with two opposite edges fixed are better than that of the wall one edge fixed and another opposite edge simply supported. The greater the explosion impulse, the bigger the maximum displacement of the wall. When reinforcement ratio of the wall increases, the explosion resistance performance of the wall will be improved. At the same time, reasonable reinforcement and external conditions should be made sure. Keywords: Blast Loading, Numerical Simulation, Shear Wall, Dynamic Response

This paper take the typical train liquid storage tank as research object, the fluid-solid coupling dynamic responses of the tank are analyzed under the track irregularities using finite element software ANSYS. The research indicates that the difference of the liquid volume in tank has great influence to the structural stress and strain. When the tank is not filled with liquid, the liquid has large-scale amplitude sloshing, and the stress and strain are much bigger than the static condition. But if the tank is full of the liquid, the stress and total amount of deformity of the tank can be obviously reduced.

Brackets is the ancient Chinese wooden building unique ways and one of the main features of the structure. Its dual function of both structural and architectural: An important component of both the structure itself, because of its flexible features tenon, the dynamic response of the structure can absorb greater energy, play a good role in the earthquake; But it is also a special architectural ornament, can play the effect of beautifying buildings. Therefore, this paper based on the finite element software ABAQUS brackets by the force of the mechanism of failure modes and numerical simulation analysis for the brackets and the whole structure of the wood to provide a scientific assessment and reinforcement.
