Weighting ensemble least-square method for flutter derivatives of bridge decks

In this paper, a reliable but simple identification method, here called the weighting ensemble least-square method (WELS), has been developed to extract all eight flutter derivatives of bridge deck from free vibration records. For every wind speed, free vibration test of section model is generally repeated several times in order to obtain more reliable parameter estimates. In the WELS method, many free vibration records at the same wind speed are regarded as an ensemble. The common mode parameters are then identified simultaneously from the ensemble data. The parameter fit is obtained by a nonlinear least-square method. Weighting factors are proposed to make each experiment record with the same weight in total residual error analysis. The ensemble composed of many records can reduce the effect of the colored noise of few records on the convergence of least-square iteration process. The flutter derivatives of two section models are identified to indicate the reliability and effectiveness of the WELS method.     

Model-based design of horizontal subsurface flow constructed treatment wetlands: a review

The increasing application of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment coupled with increasingly strict water quality standards is an ever growing incentive for the development of better process design tools. This paper reviews design models for horizontal subsurface flow constructed treatment wetlands, ranging from simple rules of thumb and regression equations, to the well-known first-order k-C* models, Monod-type equations and more complex dynamic, compartmental models. Especially highlighted in this review are the model constraints and parameter uncertainty. A case study has been used to demonstrate the model output variability and to unravel whether or not more complex but also less manageable models offer a significant advantage to the designer.     

Seismic response analysis of structures with velocity-dependent dampers

This paper is concerned with seismic response analysis of structures with velocity-dependent passive energy dissipation devices, such as viscous and viscoelastic dampers. The modeling of a damper-brace component composed of a viscous or viscoelastic damper connecting with braces in series is presented. Several key parameters influencing the energy dissipation efficiency of such dampers in the damper-brace component are investigated and the relationships of the parameters and efficiency of the dampers are established. An equivalent model for the passive energy dissipation system is developed, which can significantly simplify the dynamic analysis of structures with the velocity-dependent dampers. The seismic responses of a single-story structure and a multi-story structure with the viscous and viscoelastic dampers are analyzed to verify the effectiveness of the passive energy dissipation devices for suppression of dynamic responses of structures and the reliability of the proposed simplified computational methods.

轴承研磨机加工流场的参数优化及实验分析

为了探索研磨机研磨流场的较优加工参数,应用FLUENT对不同压力入口以及同一压力入口下不同入口磨料流气相百分比的加工流场进行了数值模拟,对参数优化后的研磨机进行实验研究。模拟结果表明:当入口压力在0.3~0.8MPa时,流场存在较优工作压力,速度下降值较小,有利于磨削加工;当入口压力超过0.8 MPa时,随着入口压力的增加,速度下降值也会增大,动能损失变大,所以在加工时,尽量保持入口压力小于0.8 MPa,提高研磨机效率;相同入口压力下,磨料流气相百分比的增加,也会导致流场速度突变的状况,降低磨料流气相的百分比可以提高研磨机效率。实验结果表明:优化加工参数后能获得较好的工件金属表面效果。

Influence of Process Parameters on Cu–Fly Ash Composite by Powder Metallurgy Technique

In this study influence of compaction pressure, sintering temperature, and sintering time on mechanical and wear behavior of the fly ash reinforced copper-based composites are analyzed. The composites were prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) technique with copper as matrix, 5 and 10 wt% of fly ash as reinforcement. The green compacts were prepared at three different pressures such as 350, 400, and 450 MPa. The prepared green composites were sintered at 700, 800, and 900 °C for the time period of 30, 60, and 90 min, respectively. From the results it is observed that when the process parameter increases the density, hardness, compression strength, and wear resistance increases.
