颤振信号下的电液比例多路阀系统稳定性分析

以某型号电液比例负载敏感多路阀为研究对象,构建其电液比例系统的AMESim仿真模型。通过设置主阀阀芯处的间隙与偏心值,得到考虑泄漏时颤振输入信号幅值与频率和内部主阀前阻尼孔直径对主阀阀芯位移和输出流量的影响。结果表明：随信号频率的增大和幅值的降低,两参数波动幅值逐渐降低;阻尼孔直径在影响超调量、响应时间的同时,也影响两参数波动幅值。仿真分析结果可为实际应用中颤振信号的确定提供参考。     

On the vortex shedding forcing on suspension bridge deck

Vortex-induced vibrations are not negligible while evaluating the aerodynamic and aeroelastic behavior of a long-span suspension bridge. This kind of forcing, that can produce high vibration levels, occurs at very low reduced velocities concerning low wind speed and high-frequency modes. This work presents results of experimental tests performed on the multibox deck shape of the Messina Strait bridge investigating vortex shedding phenomena and developing a numerical model to reproduce the vortex shedding forcing. The experimental tests, focused on low reduced velocities, highlight the typical non-linear pattern of the vortex shedding.     

Simplified prediction of wind-induced response and stability limit of slender long-span suspension bridges, based on modified quasi-steady theory: A case study

The Hardanger Bridge is currently under construction in Norway. It will have a main span of 1310 m and a girder that is only 18.3 m wide, which implies that wind-induced vibration is a major concern in the design. Buffeting response and flutter analysis of the Hardanger Bridge are treated in this paper. The self-excited forces are modelled using aerodynamic derivatives obtained from free vibration tests, quasi-steady theory, and a suggested modified quasi-steady theory. The stability limit predicted using aerodynamic derivatives corresponded well with the wind tunnel results, while the quasi-steady theory severely underestimated the critical mean wind velocity for the section model used in the wind tunnel tests. A new set of modified quasi-steady coefficients are suggested, where the experimental results of the aerodynamic derivatives are used to obtain frequency-independent model coefficients. The critical velocities predicted by the modified quasi-steady coefficients differ only by 4-5% from estimates based on the aerodynamic derivatives. The response predicted by the suggested simplified aerodynamic model is also presented, and the results indicate that adequate estimates are achieved.     

Data-driven stochastic subspace identification of flutter derivatives of bridge decks

Most of the previous studies on flutter derivatives have used deterministic system identification techniques, in which the buffeting forces and the associated responses are considered as noises. In this paper, one of the most advanced stochastic system identification, the data-driven stochastic subspace identification technique (SSI-DATA) was proposed to extract the flutter derivatives of bridge decks from the buffeting test results. An advantage of the stochastic method is that it considers the buffeting forces and the responses as inputs rather than as noises. Numerical simulations and wind tunnel tests of a streamlined thin plate model conducted under a smooth flow by the free decay and the buffeting tests were used to validate the applicability of the SSI-DATA method. The results were compared with those from the widely used covariance-driven SSI method. Wind tunnel tests of a two-edge girder blunt type of Industrial-Ring-Road Bridge deck (IRR) were then conducted under both smooth and turbulent flows. The identified flutter derivatives of the thin plate model based on the SSI-DATA technique agree well with those obtained theoretically. The results from the thin plate and the IRR Bridge deck helped validate the reliability and applicability of the SSI-DATA technique to various experimental methods and wind flow conditions. The results for the two-edge girder blunt type section show that applying the SSI-DATA yields better results than those of the SSI-COV. The results also indicate that turbulence tends to delay the onset of flutter compared with the smooth flow case.     

根据随机交通状况修正横截面尺寸的大跨桥梁的风致性能

现有的交通状况对细长大跨桥梁(SLB)面板主要影响有两类:1)桥梁横截面尺寸发生改变,这可能会反过来改变颤振导数及作用在桥梁上的风致气动弹性荷载;2)作用于桥梁上的附加动力荷载,包括来自于车辆的动力相互作用。与外部动力荷载——车辆相比,通过改变桥梁横截面尺寸来研究其影响是很少见的。在桥面板上分布车辆模型,在风洞实验室模拟随机交通流对按比例制作的桥梁截面模型进行试验。在风洞试验中通过改变桥梁的横截面尺寸来获得不同的颤振导数,目前的研究是从数值上评估其对大跨桥梁的风致性能,如气动弹性性能、风致响应和潜在疲劳累积性能的影响。
