The dynamic Davidenkov model is used to model dynamic characteristics of soils, and plastic-damage model is used to model dynamic characteristics of station structure concrete. So that, considering the influence of soil-station structure interaction for 2D finite element analysis, the dynamic interaction of soil-station structure is modeled. The damage characteristics and energy response of station structure under seismic motion is analyzed. The result shows that damping energy and hysteretic energy are monotone increasing under ground motion, and the seismic characteristic has significant effect on the energy response of subway station structure. Furthermore, concentration effect of hysteretic energy of subway station structure is measured by hysteretic energy density. It is found that the hysteretic energy is the most centralized in the column, so the dynamic response of the columns is the maximum. Furthermore, the nonlinear damage evolution law of station structure is analyzed. The law of local and global damage index is consistent essentially, and the damage index is increased by the effect of accumulative deformation.

Strong earthquakes can cause damages to structural members and also yield non-negligible damages to nonstructural facilities, the latter being closely related to earthquake-induced inertial forces. At present, the acceleration response regularity of shallow-buried subway station structure is not very clear. Using the finite-element software ABAQUS, a dynamic soil-structure interaction model for a two-story subway station structure is established. The distribution of the peak acceleration response of the structure is obtained, and the damage assessment of non-structural facilities is carried out based on the structural acceleration response. The results demonstrate that, in general, the peak acceleration responses of the subway station structure increase from lower to upper story levels, while the peak acceleration responses at the same height are practically equal. Moreover, the peak accelerations of a shallow-buried subway station structure are generally less than or close to the peak ground acceleration. Furthermore, the nonstructural facilities are slightly damaged when subjected to a peak bedrock input acceleration of 0.1 g, and moderately damaged under a peak bedrock input acceleration in the range 0.2 – 0.6 g. Based on the acceleration response characteristics, it is proposed that the peak surface acceleration can be used as an index to evaluate the damage of non-structural facilities in shallow-buried subway station structure, which is simple, practical and basically meets the precision requirements.

Reasonable strong seismic motion records are selected according to the applicable Code of Seismic Design for Railway Engineering. By using FEA software, the FEA model of one double-column pier of passenger dedicated line is established with considering the effect of flexible base effects and seismic characteristic. Based on Park-Ang seismic damage model and nonlinear seismic response analysis, the seismic damage analysis on double-column pier of passenger dedicated Line is carried out. The study results are obtained as follow: 1) The seismic damage of bridge mainly happen during the early and middle stage of seismic motion. 2) There are still major discrepancies in the seismic damage made from the seismic records which come from the same site condition and have the same PGA. 3) Although PGA has a great effect on the seismic damage index, it has nothing to do with the happening time of max seismic damage index.

The seismic response of a fabricated subway station is a complex structural connection problem that depends on the mechanical properties of the joints. In order to obtain the optimal joint distribution of a fabricated station structure under earthquake action, three finite element models of a single ring structure of fabricated subway stations assembled with seven, five, and four prefabricated components were proposed. Seismic wave characteristics, peak acceleration, and coupled horizontal and vertical seismic components were considered to study the seismic response of the fabricated subway station structure with different forms of the joint distribution. The dynamic time history method was used to analyze the seismic response in three aspects: structure plastic strain, interlayer relative deformation, and internal force. The damage indexes and residual strength indexes of the joints were offered based on the concrete damage index to evaluate the joints’ damage degree. The results showed that the joints of the vault or bottom plate had little influence on the seismic response of the fabricated station structure. The sidewall joints had the obvious seismic response and the most severe damage under horizontal ground motion or coupled ground motion, which were the weak joints of the fabricated station structure. The existence of vertical ground motion aggravated the damage degree of sidewall joints, making the damage occurrence time of sidewall joints earlier and the damage end time extended. On the premise of meeting the mechanical load and site requirements, an assembly scheme with fewer prefabricated components can be selected.

This paper was combined with the third Huaian pumping station to study the dynamic characteristics of the bulb tubular pumping station. By using dynamic finite element analysis method to create Huaian pumping station modes. Then using ANSYS Model Analysis and harmonic response analysis, the vibration modes and dynamic response were researched deeply. According to the mode analysis results, the fundamental frequencies of upper pump house were determined for 1.36Hz and the fundamental frequencies of substructure were determined for 20.11Hz. The dynamic response of the bulb tubular pumping station structure under fluctuating pressures is calculated by ANSYS harmonic response analysis, and the results show that dynamic displacement satisfied the maximum allowable of architectural construction permission，so it can satisfy design requirement, which provides references value for other tubular pumping station in anti-vibration design.

Microscopic studies on the toughening mechanism of rubber-toughened PMMA (RTPMMA) were carried out using a polarizing optical microscope (POM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). POM result showed that in a typical RT-PMMA, a damage zone was developed in the vicinity of crack-tip, and therefore, it was considered that energy dissipation due to the damage zone development was the primary toughening mechanism. TEM result exhibited that the damage zone was a crowd of micro-crazes generated around rubber particles in the vicinity of notch-tip. Finite element analysis was then performed to simulate such damage formations in crack-tip region. Macro-scale and micro-scale models were developed to simulate damage zone formation and micro-crazing, respectively, with use of a damage model. It was shown that the damage model introduced was successfully applied to predict such kind of macro-damage and micro-craze formations.

Progressive Failure Analysis

This paper considers damage development mechanisms in cross-ply laminates using an accurate numerical model. Under static three points bending, two modes of damage progression in cross-ply laminates are predominated: transverse cracking and delamination. However, this second mode of damage is not accounted in our numerical model. After a general review of experimental approaches of observed behavior of laminates, the focus is laid on predicting laminate behavior based on continuum damage mechanics. In this study, a continuum damage model based on ply failure criteria is presented, which is initially proposed by Ladevèze. To reveal the effect of different stacking sequence of the laminate; such as thickness and the interior or exterior disposition of the 0° and 90° oriented layers in the laminate, an equivalent damage accumulation which cover all ply failure mechanisms has been predicted. However, the solution algorithm using finite element analysis which implements progressive failure analysis is summarized. The results of the numerical computation have been justified by the previous published experimental observations of the authors.

Composite Floors

As a general trend, in order to reduce material consumption or to reduce the mass of the structures, composite floor slabs solutions are used to achieve large spans floor slabs. This solutions led to floors sensitive to vibrations induced generally by human activities. As a verification of the design concepts of the composite floors, usually, it is recommended a further examination of the floor after completion by experimental tests. Although the experimental values of the dynamic response of the floor are uniquely determined, the processing can take two directions of evaluation. The first direction consist in determining the dynamic characteristics of the floor and their comparison with the design values. Another way that can be followed in the processing of the experimental results is to consider the human perception and comfort to the vibration on floors. The paper aims to present a case study on a composite floor, with steel beams and concrete slab, tested on-site. Both aspects of data processing are analyzed, in terms of the structural element, and in terms of the effect on human perception and comfort. Experimentally obtained values for the dynamic characteristics of the floor are compared with numerical values from finite element analysis, while the second type of characteristic values are compared with various human comfort threshold values found in international standards.
