An efficient way to make inference of such instabilities in a dynamical system is through analyzing the first-order effect of a perturbation at one of its equilibrium with eigenvalue analysis. The contact characteristics of such dynamical systems are typically modelled through the normal compliance approach with inference from experiments. In this case, the dynamical response of the system is implied to be sensitive to the contact stiffness modelled through the normal compliance approach. Typically, with the normal compliance approach, the continuum of the contact interface is approximated through a set of nonlinear springs which can be interpreted as a collocation method. Such approximations or the numerical implication of contact formulations in general for such problems is not largely studied. We focus on a variational formulation-based contact formulation without domain decomposition which is computationally efficient with small sacrifice in accuracy, where we imply that the dynamical response can be robustly modelled with the given accuracy. Further, we expose the inadequacy of the collocation method for such problems, where the dynamical system is observed to be sensitive to the extent of inaccuracy as a result of collocation for low values of contact stiffness. The inferences numerically imply the characteristics of the dynamical system for variation in contact stiffness.","PeriodicalId":21915,"journal":{"name":"Shock and Vibration","volume":"14 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138525843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the principle of acoustic impedance mismatch of a water-reflecting layer, a vacuum cavity corner reflector is designed to take advantage of the property that sound waves cannot propagate under vacuum conditions. The acoustic vacuum reflecting layer has a theoretical acoustic reflecting coefficient of one. Comparative analyses are carried out with the single-layer metal corner reflector in terms of frequency and angle of incidence. For the concave structure of the underwater corner reflector, the structural finite element software ANSYS combined with the acoustic analysis software SYSNOISE is used to simulate and analyse the acoustic scattering characteristics, and the consistency of the simulation calculations and experimental data is verified through the pool experiments for typical cases. The results show that under the same reflection area, the vacuum cavity underwater corner reflector has large scattering intensity, good antiacoustic performance, no obvious frequency characteristics, and good decoupling effects. The target echo intensity value can be increased by 2 dB for better scattering stability. The overall weight is reduced by about 20 kg, with considerable engineering practicality, proving that the true cavity corner reflector is an ideal underwater acoustic counter-acoustic device.","PeriodicalId":21915,"journal":{"name":"Shock and Vibration","volume":"3 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135584779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using this curve, it is determined that if the applied stress is less than a certain level, failure will not occur as the number of load cycles increases. The S-N curve can be affected by several factors such as yield stress, temperature, surface properties, and corrosion. In this research, the S-N curve has been investigated for two types of high-strength steels, S690 and S460, as well as two types of mild-strength steels, S235 and S355, at 25°C, and S355 with corrosion. The numbers of samples used for S235 and S460 steels were 45 each while S355 and S690 steels were 36 each and for S355 with corrosion was 15 with the high cycle fatigue curve obtained for them. To investigate the effect of plate thickness on the high cycle fatigue of the samples, four sets of 24-piece S235 steel samples, being 96 samples in total, were made of plates with different thicknesses of 8, 12, 15, and 20 mm and tested. Finally, a four-story three-span steel moment frame was designed, and under the Northridge earthquake record, the high cycle fatigue was investigated. It was observed that the high cycle fatigue was not effective for the mentioned structure under the Northridge earthquake record, but in the corroded structure, damage from high cycle fatigue occurs under this record.","PeriodicalId":21915,"journal":{"name":"Shock and Vibration","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135773306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, the working mechanisms of the pile-raft systems in conventional connections with the embedment of the compressible blocks and cushion layers under cyclic loading were explored. The results showed that the embedment of the cushion layer on the pile top could most significantly mobilize the potential of the foundation soil, effectively reduce the bending moment peak of the pile, and reduce the acceleration amplification effect on the top of the soil layer and raft.

A disturbance test involving blasting of the rock surrounding a roadway under different lateral pressure coefficients was conducted using high-precision acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. Based thereon, the spatiotemporal evolution and cluster characteristics of microcracks in the surrounding rock of the roadway under dynamic disturbance induced by explosive blasting were obtained, and stress transfer, adjustment, and redistribution in the rock mass were revealed. Moreover, a method for describing the progressive damage to the rock mass was established. The conclusions were as follows: the high-stress environment was conducive to microcrack initiation and propagation in the specimens, and the failure patterns of the surrounding rock of the roadway under different lateral pressure coefficients differed. The direction of crack propagation in the rock surrounding the roadway is opposite to that of the maximum principal stress applied to the rock mass. Blasting-induced disturbance intensifies crack initiation and accelerates damage accumulation and macrofracture formation in the rock mass. The macroscopic failure zone in a model is correlated with the ultimate distribution of apparent stress, and the apparent stress can reflect the adjustment of the stress field therein. The damage variable, characterized by the ratio of the number of AE events, can reveal the evolution of damage in the rock surrounding a roadway.","PeriodicalId":21915,"journal":{"name":"Shock and Vibration","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135222501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such temperature differences, caused by seasonal changes, may affect the life cycles of piles. Under natural conditions, such as long-term operation under the ambient environment and loads, piles and the surrounding soil undergo peel damage. To study such peel damage between the pile and soil at different temperatures, we installed concrete test piles in soil and subjected them to different temperatures. A crack with a width of 2 cm, depth of 10 cm, and damage range of 90° was applied at the side of the piles. Furthermore, a horizontal impact load was applied near the top of the pile and a piezoelectric ceramic sensor was used to obtain the stress wave response signals. The experimental results reveal that with a decrease in the soil temperature, the amplitude and fluctuation range of the signals received by the piezoelectric sensor decreased. According to the experimental results, in the group with the greatest influence of temperature, keeping other conditions unchanged and setting different crack depths, the horizontal impact load can also be introduced to observe the frequency change. It can be observed that the larger the crack depth, the smaller the frequency. Finally, ABAQUS was used for simulations, whose results were found to be consistent with those of the experiments. This paper describes a method for determining the safety of soil and piles with peel damage at different temperatures, and it also provides a validation of the necessity of holding the rest constant.","PeriodicalId":21915,"journal":{"name":"Shock and Vibration","volume":"33 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
