Latest ArticlesExtracting sensitive damage features from structural response signals is crucial for damage identification methods based on pattern classification. To this end,a hybrid network that combines a deep belief networks (DBN) and a long-short term memory (LSTM) network is proposed through a hybrid learning mechanism to utilize the merits of both networks in the aspects of extracting high-order abstract features and considering data sequence correlations. First,transmissibility data from response signals are sequentially input into the DBN to achieve the initial data compression and feature extraction,reducing the redundant information in the responses. Then,the extracted feature sequences are input into the LSTM network to consider the correlation between the different responses for acquiring the relevant sensitive damage features. Finally,a classification layer with the Softmax function is used to classify the features output by the LSTM network. Thereby,different structural damage patterns can be identified. The damage identification results on a three-dimensional experimental steel frame demonstrate that the hybrid learning mechanism can better train the network parameters,and the fine-tuning on the whole hybrid network contributes to the subsequent damage feature classification. Under the pollution of numerical or measured noises,the hybrid network can still effectively perform the data compression,feature extraction and classification. The various damage scenarios of the experimental frame are well identified.
In this paper,the strong earthquake records of 13 soil stations within 41 km from the fault of the 2008 Wenchuan 8.0 magnitude earthquake are selected. These records are combined with the strong earthquake records of 29 calculation points obtained by using the stochastic finite fault method simulation. Moreover,nonlinear least squares fitting is performed by using three near-fault ground motion attenuation models and the fifth-generation ground motion parameter zoning map attenuation model to obtain the peak ground motion acceleration of the Wenchuan earthquake near-fault. The attenuation relationships are obtained and analyzed by considering ±1 times standard deviation and correlation coefficients for reliability. The results show that there are some differences in the attenuation relations obtained by different attenuation models. The peak acceleration obtained by the Shao Guangbiao model is low. The prediction results of Wang Guoquan model has a large deviation for other magnitude earthquakes because the magnitude term is not considered. Besides,the peak acceleration of the fifth-generation ground motion parameter zoning map attenuation model is low.
Tianjin Metro Line 6 is adjacent to Beiyangyuan Campus of Tianjin University,and the train operation may cause adverse vibration effects on important infrastructures of the campus. In this paper,the National Facility for Earthquake Engineering Simulation of Tianjin University,which is close to the line,is taken as the research object. Firstly,the site vibration test is carried out on the sites distributed along the line and the adjacent constructions,through which the vibration attenuation law along the site and the vibration level of the control points in the constructions are studied. Furthermore,a whole process finite element model of tunneling-site-facility constructions is established,and the vibration simulation analysis of site and facility constructions is carried out considering whether the protected river exists or not (actually there is a protected river). The vibration isolation efficiency of the protected river is emphatically discussed. The research shows that the vibration impact of the operation of Tianjin Metro Line 6 on the large-scale earthquake engineering simulation research facilities of Tianjin University meets the limit requirements of the code. Affected by Tianjin soft soil and the protected river,the vertical acceleration attenuation of the site is significant,and the attenuation rate reaches 97.33% from 0m to 80 m. The design of the mass concrete foundation of the facility and its bottom pile foundation is helpful to the vibration control of the foundation itself. Due to the presence of protected river,the amplitude of the site and the large shaking table foundations was reduced by 40.87% and 27.97%,and the frequency spectrum of the site showed obvious “double peak” phenomenon in 0~20 Hz and 40~80 Hz bands.
This article investigates the optimization problem of a novel base isolation system by introducing a passive network consisting of one damper,one spring and one inerter and a grounded element with negative stiffness. The dynamic equations of the system are established and the frequency response function in the dimensionless form is derived. Since it is found that the amplitude-frequency response curves pass through four fixed-points,the extended fixed-point method is utilized to solve the parameter optimization problem. The explicit expressions of the optimal inertance-to-mass ratio,the optimal natural frequency ratio,and the optimal corner frequency ratio of the system are derived by adjusting the four fixed points to the same height. The expression of the optimal damping ratio is calculated by letting the amplitudes of the three invariant frequencies among the four fixed points to the same amplitudes as those of the four fixed-points. A necessary and sufficient condition for the system with optimal parameter values to be stable is derived by utilizing the Hurwitz stability criterion. Compared with other three optimal isolation systems,the optimal isolation system in this article can provide better H∞ performance and better output responses in the multi-storey building vibration system.
Due to the lack of research on the dynamical response of the inerter system based on non-stationary seismic excitation,an analytical solution for the time-varying variance of the dynamical response of a multi-degree-of-freedom energy-consuming structure with series-parallel layout Ⅰ inerter system (SPIS-Ⅰ) is proposed. According to the constitutive relationship of the SPIS-Ⅰ,the dynamic equations of the energy dissipation structure,and the impulsive non-stationary seismic excitation,we decouple the inertial energy dissipation structure into first-order systems using complex modal analysis and the virtual excitation method. It is convenient to obtain the unified solution of the structural response quantities such as displacement,velocity,inter-story shear force,etc. The quadratic decomposition method is used to transform the time-varying power spectral density function of the unified solution into a linear combination of the complex modal eigenvalues of the inertial-capacitated energy-consuming structure,the modal coefficients,the time-varying modal strength coefficients,and the quadratic product containing the squared term of the circular frequency. On this basis,an analytical solution for the time-varying variance of the response of the energy-consuming structure under non-stationary seismic excitation is derived by utilizing the characteristics that the non-stationary modes spectral moments have an analytical solution in the infinite integration interval. The accuracy of the proposed dynamic response power spectrum and time-varying variance is verified by using the sudden white noise excitation to analyze the dynamic response of the structure. At the same time,the dynamic response of the frame structure based on the sudden Kanai-Tajimi model is studied,and the influence of the parameters of the inertial system on the damping effect is analyzed. The proposed method can be applied to analyze the seismic response of linear structures under other non-stationary modulation functions.
In order to solve the problem of seismic design of continuous beam bridge in which the longitudinal seismic inertia force is only carried by the fixed pier,the seismic potential of the movable pier is fully exerted with the same section as the fixed pier. Based on the principle of wrap rope,the mass rotation wrap rope device excited by additional mass inertia force is developed to realize the cooperative force of fixed pier and movable pier and limit the relative displacement of beam end. Based on the working principle and structural characteristics of the device,the restoring force model of the device is proposed,and through a 3-span regular continuous beam bridge,the finite element model of the whole bridge is established. The effects of additional mass,friction coefficient and initial relaxation coefficient on the vibration reduction performance of continuous beam bridge are systematically analyzed. The results show that the effect of mass rotation wrap rope device on reducing the seismic response of fixed pier and lifting the movable pier to participate in the longitudinal whole cooperative force of continuous beam bridge is obvious. The influence of parameters of different seismic wave input characteristics is slightly different,but reasonable design parameters of the device will produce a more obvious effect of shock absorption.
The incipient fault characteristics of planetary gearbox are weak and difficult to effectively identify under strong background noise interference and variable working conditions. To address these issues,an improved feature mode decomposition (IFMD) algorithm is proposed to extract the weak fault characteristics of planetary gearbox under time-varying speed conditions. Firstly,for the key input parameters of the FMD algorithm,such as the number of decomposition mode n,the number of filter K,and the length of filter L,which need to be set manually and lack adaptability,an adaptive scale space spectrum segmentation method is proposed to determine the required number of decomposition modes n. On this basis,the Spectral Gini Index (SGI) is used as the objective function,and particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to automatically determine the optimal filter number K and filter length L. Subsequently,the IFMD is applied to perform optimal modal decomposition on the fault signal under the optimal parameter combination,and the decomposed component with the highest SGI value is selected as the sensitive modal component. Finally,significant fault feature orders are extracted from the envelope order spectrum of sensitive component to accurately diagnose the fault type and location of planetary gearbox. The analysis results of variable speed simulation signals and engineering experimental data indicate that compared to the PSO-VMD method,MED method,SGMD method,and fast spectral kurtosis method,the proposed method can extract weak fault information more clearly and comprehensively,thereby improving the characterization ability and diagnostic accuracy of early fault features of planetary gearbox under time-varying speed conditions.
The star-shaped negative Poisson’s ratio structure is used as the core of sandwich panels. The dynamic model of a sandwich plate is established,and the equivalent elastic parameters of sandwich layer are derived. The equations of motion of sandwich plates are derived based on Hertz theory,first order shear deformation theory and Hamilton principle. Then,the equations of motion are solved by navier method. The contact force of the impact model is obtained through the spring-mass model with two degrees of freedom,and the lateral displacement of the sandwich plate after impact is calculated by Duhamel integral. The predicted results of plate contact force and lateral displacement are compared with the published papers to verify the accuracy. Meanwhile,the low-velocity impact response of star-shaped negative Poisson’s ratio sandwich panels is also compared with the negative Poisson’s ratio concave hexagonal honeycomb sandwich panels,and the influence of the parameters of sandwich panels is also discussed. When the impact velocity increases,the maximum contact force and the maximum lateral displacement of the sandwich plate also increase,while the duration of the impact response decreases. The greater the thickness ratio of the sandwich plate is,the better the impact performance of the sandwich plate will be. The smaller the side length ratio of cell is,the better the impact performance of sandwich plate will be. The increase of the cell concave angle enhances the impact performance of the sandwich panel. This study can provide some reference for the study of impact resistance of negative Poisson’s ratio metamaterial structures and sandwich panels.
In this paper,the timing transmission gear of a certain type of domestic marine 20V diesel engine is taken as the research object. Aiming at solving the problem of frequent broken teeth fault,considering the influence of various types of internal and external comprehensive excitation,the lumped parametric bending-torsion coupling dynamic model of multi-branch gear transmission shaft system of diesel engine is established. Based on Newmark step-by-step integration method,the forced vibration response is predicted,and the accuracy of the model is verified by the actual test data. Considering the influence of dynamic load,the traditional tooth root bending stress load spectrum is modified,and the strength fatigue check of the faulty gear is carried out. The results show that the peak value of the response energy at the driven timing gear of the fuel supply cam end of the diesel engine is 5.2 times that of the peak value of the response energy at the flywheel end,which indicates that the speed fluctuation at the driven gear of the timing gear is too large and the torsional vibration characteristics are poor. At this time,the bending fatigue safety factor of the tooth root is only 1.35,which is in the general reliability range and is prone to tooth breakage. Based on the engineering practice experience,the vibration optimization design scheme of the fault gear transmission system is proposed to improve the bending fatigue safety factor of the fault gear by 1.61 to ensure the safe and stable operation of the shafting. The research results reveal the mechanism of timing gear tooth breaking fault from the perspective of dynamics,provide some theoretical guidance for accurate prediction of tooth root bending stress and performance optimization,and provide theoretical support for vibration response analysis and vibration and noise reduction of diesel engine timing gear shaft system.
Milling vibration problems can increase tool wear and reduce part machining accuracy,the suppression of which is a hot research topic in the field of milling.
