Present study deals with the stability analysis of an existing historical monument “Safdarjung Tomb” under Seismic Load. The tomb is situated at New Delhi, India. The building is classified as protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). This is a ground plus two storey masonry structure with a central dome. The basic seismic parameters have been evaluated using Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Codal method. Distribution of lateral forces is carried out to individual piers and walls using Rigidity Approach. The seismic performance of the building is studied under the gravity and earthquake loads. The building is modeled as a two-degree-of-freedom shear-beam system. The piers, which are located parallel to the direction of earthquake shaking are assumed to provide spring action. The mass of the walls and slabs are lumped at the storey levels. The lumped masses are assumed to be connected to each other through massless springs. The degree of each mass in horizontal direction is considered, neglecting the vertical translational and rotational degrees of freedom. Stiffness of the walls parallel to longitudinal and transverse directions of the building has been computed separately which was used for computation of lateral forces in each direction. The forces so evaluated are used in pier analysis to evaluate stress induced in various elements. The majority of the structural elements were found safe and the overall structure is stable. The stresses due to shear and bending are within permissible limit

The Stability

Apoint mappinganalysis is employed to investigate the stability of periodic systems. The method is applied to simplified rotorcraft models. The proposed approach is based on a procedure to obtain an analytical expression for the period-to-period mapping description of system's dynamics, and its dependence on system's parameters. Analytical stability and bifurcation conditions are then determined and expressed as functional relations between important system parameters. The method is applied to investigate the parametric stability of flapping motion of a rotor and the ground resonance problem encountered in rotorcraft dynamics. It is shown that the proposed approach provides very accurate results when compared with direct numerical results which are assumed to be an “exact solution” for the purpose of this study. It is also demonstrated that the point mapping method yields more accurate results than the widely used classical perturbation analysis. The ability to perform analytical stability studies of systems with multiple degrees-of-freedom is an important feature of the proposed approach since most existing analysis methods are applicable to single degree-of-freedom systems. Stability analysis of higher dimensional systems, such as the ground resonance problems, by perturbation methods is not straightforward, and is usually very cumbersome.

Breathing Mechanism

It is a common notion in literature that cracks in horizontal rotating shafts can cause instability of the system. Actually the stiffness variation due to the breathing mechanism may cause parametric excitation to the rotor system. This phenomenon has been investigated by means of both analytical models and simulation, but the studies are related to simple Jeffcott’s rotors. In this paper the method normally used to investigate the stability of cracked rotors, i.e. Floquet’s theory, is applied for the first time to a model of a real rotor with several degrees of freedom, considering also the bearings and the foundation. Huge calculation resources have been necessary and this may explain why this analysis was not performed before. The results are very different from those obtained by means of simple Jeffcott’s rotor.

SUMMARYThe stability analysis of active spatial mechanisms comprising both powered and unpowered joints is carried out for the first time using aggregation-decomposition method via Lyapunov vector functions. This method has already been used for analysis of mechanisms with all powered joints. To extend the application of the method to the stability analysis of mechanisms containing unpowered joints we developed modelling of special subsystem consisting of one powered and one unpowered joint. Then, we consider the stability of the complete system without neglecting any dynamic effect. The stability analysis is demonstrated by a numerical example of a particular biped system.

Scientific Purpose

Abstract The problem analyzed here concerns the dynamic response of a bidimensional polygonal rigid body simply supported on a harmonically moving rigid ground. The immediate scientific purpose of the paper is to obtain and analyze the dynamic response by using a variational formulation, recently proposed by one of the authors [1], where the dynamics is described as a differential inclusion. This formulation allows us to determine the instantaneous accelerations of the system by means of a mechanical model with friction and unilateral constraints, which does not reduce the degrees of freedom or impose an “a priori” choice of the mechanism activated during the motion. By treating the friction coefficient as a stability parameter, it has been possible to obtain different kind of responses, ranging from rocking to sliding-rocking, and compare them with those obtained in the literature. Sliding-rocking motions obtained so far have exhibited not only harmonic but also interesting and more complex behaviors with chaotic features. The search for theoretical and numerical instruments able to identify and classify these more complex motions was first performed in the case of rocking, characterized by a smaller number of degrees of freedom. A technique was then implemented for calculating Lyapunov’s exponents also during the time intervals of the impacts. The introduction and evaluation of these exponents can also permit us to perform the stability analysis with respect to overturning, by limiting the analysis and evaluation to the first impact that the system undergoes by starting at rest: in fact, large values of Lyapunov’s exponents before the first impact are connected with overturning during the motion which follows. This circumstance can make it easier to carry out the stability analysis with respect to overturning, as a function of the amplitude and frequency of the excitation.

Abstract Titanium alloy and its thin-walled structures are widely used in the aerospace field. Aiming at the processing chatter and difficult-to-machine problem of titanium alloy thin-walled workpieces, rotary ultrasonic milling technology (RUM) is employed to restrict machining vibration in this paper. Firstly, the titanium alloy web with low stiffness is equivalent to a mass-spring-damping system with three degrees of freedom for describing its dynamic characteristics. Then, a novel stability analysis method is proposed for RUM thin-walled workpiece (RUM-tww) through defining an ultrasonic function angle. Furthermore, RUM-tww stability lobe diagrams (SLDs) are achieved based on the semi-discrete method (SDM). The simulation results show that the milling stability of titanium alloy webs is improved effectively under the effect of ultrasonic vibration energy. Compared with conventional milling thin-walled workpiece (CM-tww), the stability region of RUM-tww is increased by 80.32% within the spindle speed from 1000r/min to 5000r/min. Finally, milling experiments are carried out to verify the validity and rationality of SLDs via analyzing chatter marks, cutter marks and flatness on the machined surface. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction.

This paper focuses on the stability analysis of the Nanjung Water Diversion Twin Tunnels using convergence measurement. The Nanjung Tunnel is horseshoe-shaped in cross-section, 10.2 m x 9.2 m in dimension, and 230 m in length. The location of the tunnel is in Curug Jompong, Margaasih Subdistrict, Bandung. Convergence monitoring was done for 144 days between February 18 and July 11, 2019. The results of the convergence measurement were recorded and plotted into the curves of convergence vs. day and convergence vs. distance from tunnel face. From these plots, the continuity of the convergence and the convergence rate in the tunnel roof and wall were then analyzed. The convergence rates from each tunnel were also compared to empirical values to determine the level of tunnel stability. In general, the trend of convergence rate shows that the Nanjung Tunnel is stable without any indication of instability. Although there was a spike in the convergence rate at several STA in the measured span, that spike was not replicated by the convergence rate in the other measured spans and it was not continuous. The stability of the Nanjung Tunnel is also confirmed from the critical strain analysis, in which most of the STA measured have strain magnitudes located below the critical strain line and are less than 1%.
