A general analysis method of curved bridge, pure twist theory, which is based on the bar structure mechanical, has been introduced in this paper, by analyzing the basic assumptions of the theory, the limitations of application of the theory is indicated, while the ratio between the width and span of the curved bridge is out of the rang prescribed in the theory. The prestress effect is studied by the method of numerical simulation based on the finite element software ANSYS . According to the result, it can be indicated that, under the prestress, a horizontal and vertical displacement of the curved beam have occurred. The whole beam appears the tendency of turning outside, and there has been wavy distortion in the outer cantilever slab of the box girder along the span. The analysis result shows that, the method of the force analysis of spatial entities should be adopted when the ratio of width/span is small, and the difference between the inner vertical resistant reaction and the outer one caused by the prestressing force should not be ignored.

New Type

Friendship Avenue bridge was a concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge (CFSTAB). As a new type of bridge, CFSTAB was widely constructed and rapid developed in China. Because of its merits, CFSTAB was constructed much more in China. With the span increasing rapidly, and the bridge gradually becoming thin, the long span CFSTAB should be paid more attention for its performance of aseismic, wind resistance and vehicle-bridge vibration.This article described the basic method of dynamic analysis for CFSTAB. And the Friendship Avenue CFSTAB was taken as an example, such as the choice of element types, conducted boundary condition and applying load were described in process of modeling FEM for it, and of which the dynamic characteristics was analyzed by finite element software ANSYS.

The Stability

The cable tower is the bearing component of long-span suspension bridges, and its structure is very high and bear large force, which determines the stability and is the key of safety control. As for the height of the main tower of a long-span suspension bridge up to 195.3 m, the finite element software ANSYS is used to establish a three-dimensional finite element model (FEM), and the effects of geometric nonlinearity and material nonlinearity on the stability of the main tower are analyzed. The calculation results show that geometrical nonlinearity and material defects have significant influence on the main tower stability, and the nonlinear stability should be considered under wind load in the design calculation.

AbstractThe objective of this paper is to expediently expose the seismic performance pertinent to demand and capacity of general long-span suspension bridges crossing active faults. Firstly three dimensional finite element model of the ordinary long-span suspension bridge is established based on the powerful and attractive finite element software ANSYS. Secondly a series of appropriate fault ground motions with different target final permanent displacements (Tectonic displacements or ground offset) in the direction perpendicular to the fault plane are assumed and applied to the employed long-span suspension bridge. And then the Newmark method is utilized to solve the equation of motion of the long-span suspension bridge structure subjected to fault ground motions in the elastic range. Finally some important conclusions are drawn that the final permanent displacements in the direction perpendicular to the fault plane has significant influence on the seismic responses and demands of general long-span suspension bridges crossing active faults. And the resultant conclusions deliver explicitly and directly specifications and guidelines for seismic design of ordinary long-span suspension bridges across fault-rupture zones.

From the perspective of damage mechanics, the damage parameters were introduced as the characterizing quantity of the decrease in the mechanical properties of powder superalloy material FGH96 under fatigue loading. By deriving a damage evolution equation, a fatigue life prediction model of powder superalloy containing inclusions was constructed based on damage mechanics. The specimens containing elliptical subsurface inclusions and semielliptical surface inclusions were considered. The CONTA172 and TARGE169 elements of finite element software (ANSYS) were used to simulate the interfacial debonding between the inclusions and matrix, and the interface crack initiation life was calculated. Through finite element modeling, the stress field evolution during the interface debonding was traced by simulation. Finally, the effect of the position and shape size of inclusions on interface debonding was explored.

In this study, the effect of crack on free vibration of a large deflected cantilever plate, which forms the case of a pre-stressed curved plate, is investigated. A distributed load is applied at the free edge of a thin cantilever plate. Then, the loading edge of the deflected plate is fixed to obtain a pre-stressed curved plate. The large deflection equation provides the non - linear deflection curve of the large deflected flexible plate. The thin curved plate is modeled by using the finite element method with a four-node quadrilateral element. Three different aspect ratios are used to examine the effect of crack. The effect of crack and its location on the natural frequency parameter is given in tables and graphs. Also, the natural frequency parameters of the present model are compared with the finite element software results to verify the reliability and validity of the present model. This study shows that the different mode shapes are occurred due to the change of load parameter, and these different mode shapes cause a change in the effect of crack.

Abstract In this study, elastoplastic model for the surrounding rock of axisymmetric circular tunnel is investigated under three-dimensional (3D) principal stress states. Novel numerical solutions for strain-softening surrounding rock were first proposed based on the modified 3D Hoek–Brown criterion and the associated flow rule. Under a 3D axisymmetric coordinate system, the distributions for stresses and displacement can be effectively determined on the basis of the redeveloped stress increment approach. The modified 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion is also embedded into finite element software to characterize the yielding state of surrounding rock based on the modified yield surface and stress renewal algorithm. The Euler implicit constitutive integral algorithm and the consistent tangent stiffness matrix are reconstructed in terms of the 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion. Therefore, the numerical solutions and finite element method (FEM) models for the deep buried tunnel under 3D principal stress condition are presented, so that the stability analysis of surrounding rock can be conducted in a direct and convenient way. The reliability of the proposed solutions was verified by comparison of the principal stresses obtained by the developed numerical approach and FEM model. From a practical point of view, the proposed approach can also be applied for the determination of ground response curve of the tunnel, which shows a satisfying accuracy compared with the measuring data.
