The tested curves of the excess pore water pressure （EPWP） ratio variation with the ratio of the number of cycles are provided. The concept of the EPWP increment ratio is introduced and two new concepts of the effective dynamic shear stress ratio and the log decrement of effective stress are defined. It is found that the development of the EPWP increment ratio can be divided into three stages： descending, stable and ascending. Furthermore, at the stable and ascending stages, a satisfactory linear relationship is obtained between the accumulative EPWP increment ratio and natural logarithm of the effective dynamic shear stress ratio. Accordingly, the EPWP increment ratio at the number of cycles N has been deduced that is proportional to the log decrement of effective stress at the cycle number N-l, but is independent of the cyclic stress amplitude. Based on the analysis, a new EPWP increment model for saturated Nanjing fine sand is developed from tested data fitting, which provides a better prediction of the curves of EPWP generation, the number of cycles required for initial liquefaction and the liquefaction resistance.展开更多

The accident demonstrated the need for stricter regulations to ensure the seismic resistance of NPP and the need to develop and implement additional anti-seismic procedures in the course of their operation. To proof seismic reliability of NPP systems and components must be made special studies of logarithmic decrement of systems NPP and components. The correct definition of coolant thermodynamics parameters and acoustic parameters are necessary to evaluate logarithmic decrement of coolant systems NPP and their components and consequently for providing of NPP seismic reliability. The proof of presence of a gas phase in the coolant inside reactor is of great importance for practice because of its influence on coolant acoustical parameters and consequently on range of frequency of seismic-acoustical resonance type interaction. Results are obtained by using of known methods in oscillation theory, general acoustics, thermodynamic, electro-mechanical analogies. As well as using experimental data obtained from the vibration dynamical controls reactor WWER-1000.展开更多
