文摘To predict the maximum earthquake response of an SDOF structure with a Maxwell fluid damper or supplemental brace-viscous damper system using the seismic design response spectrum technique,a new approach is presented to determine the first-and second-order equivalent viscous damping and stiffness,the peak responses,and the damper force of the above structure.Based on the fact that the dynamic characteristics of a general linear viscoelastically damped structure are fully determined by its free vibration properties and the relaxation time constants of a Maxwell fluid damper and supplemental brace-viscous damper system in engineering practice are all small,the method of improved multiple time scales and the equivalent criterion in which all free vibration properties are the same are used to obtain the first-and second-order equivalent viscous damping and stiffness of the above structure in closed form.The accuracy of the proposed method is higher and significantly better than that of the modal strain energy method.Furthermore,in the parametric range of the requirements of the Chinese ＂Code for Seismic Design of Buildings＂,the error of the proposed second-order equivalent system for the abovementioned engineering structure is not more than 0.5%.

文摘7075 aluminum alloy is often used as an important load-bearing structure in aircraft industry due to its superior mechanical properties.During the process of deep hole boring,the boring bar is prone to vibrate because of its limited machining space,bad environment and large elongation induced low stiffness.To reduce vibration and improve machined surface quality,a particle damping boring bar,filled with particles in its inside damping block,is designed based on the theory of vibration control.The theoretical damping coefficient is determined,then the boring bar structure is designed and trial-manufactured.Experimental studies through impact testing show that cemented carbide particles with a diameter of 5 mm and a filling rate of 70% achieve a damping ratio of 19.386%,providing excellent vibration reduction capabilities,which may reduce the possibility of boring vibration.Then,experiments are setup to investigate its vibration reduction performance during deep hole boring of 7075 aluminum alloy.To observe more obviously,severe working conditions are adopted and carried out to acquire the time domain vibration signal of the head of the boring bar and the surface morphologies and roughness values of the workpieces.By comparing different experimental results,it is found that the designed boring bar could reduce the maximum vibration amplitude by up to 81.01% and the surface roughness value by up to 47.09% compared with the ordinary boring bar in two sets of experiments,proving that the designed boring bar can effectively reduce vibration.This study can offer certain valuable insights for the machining of this material.

文摘Ocean energy has progressively gained considerable interest due to its sufficient potential to meet the world’s energy demand,and the blade is the core component in electricity generation from the ocean current.However,the widened hydraulic excitation frequency may satisfy the blade resonance due to the time variation in the velocity and angle of attack of the ocean current,even resulting in blade fatigue and destructively interfering with grid stability.A key parameter that determines the resonance amplitude of the blade is the hydrodynamic damping ratio(HDR).However,HDR is difficult to obtain due to the complex fluid-structure interaction(FSI).Therefore,a literature review was conducted on the hydrodynamic damping characteristics of blade-like structures.The experimental and simulation methods used to identify and obtain the HDR quantitatively were described,placing emphasis on the experimental processes and simulation setups.Moreover,the accuracy and efficiency of different simulation methods were compared,and the modal work approach was recommended.The effects of key typical parameters,including flow velocity,angle of attack,gap,rotational speed,and cavitation,on the HDR were then summarized,and the suggestions on operating conditions were presented from the perspective of increasing the HDR.Subsequently,considering multiple flow parameters,several theoretical derivations and semi-empirical prediction formulas for HDR were introduced,and the accuracy and application were discussed.Based on the shortcomings of the existing research,the direction of future research was finally determined.The current work offers a clear understanding of the HDR of blade-like structures,which could improve the evaluation accuracy of flow-induced vibration in the design stage.

文摘Pump valve pipeline vibration brings serious safety hazards to the operation of the equipment,for the pump valve system in the process of variable flow,variable speed,variable openings lead to excessive pipeline vibration.An active damping device(ADD)is used to the vibration of the pump valve pipeline system to apply the control force,to achieve the active control of the pipeline vibration.A pump-valve pipeline vibration test bench was built to compare the control effect of active damping device on pipeline vibration under different pump valve working conditions,and the results show that applying ADD control could effectively suppress the vibration of the pump valve pipeline and enhance the stability of the equipment during operation.At different pump operating rotation frequencies,the vibration amplitude of the pump valve pipeline in working frequency and its multiple frequencies are also effectively suppressed,with the maximum amplitude reduction of more than 60%.For the valve vibration caused by different operating openings,the vibration of the highest reduction of 68%,and the centrifugal pump drive shaft vi-bration reduced by up to 73%,which provides a new idea for vibration control of pump valve pipeline system.

文摘In this paper,existing damping theories are briefly reviewed.On the basis of the existing damping theories,a new kind of damping theory,i.e.,the time-delay damping theory,is developed.In the time-delay damping theory,the damping force is considered to be directly proportional to the increment of displacement.The response analysis of an SDOF time-delay damping system is carried out,and the methods for obtaining the solution for a time-delay damping system in the time domain as well as the frequency domain are given.The comparison between results from different damping theories shows that the time-delay damping theory is both reasonable and convenient.

文摘OBJECTIVE:To examine the T helper 17(Th17)/regulatory T(Treg)immune balance in passive Heymann nephritis(PHN)rats with dampness syndrome(DS).METHODS:Rats were divided into four groups:normal control(NC),PHN model,PHN+DS model,and DS model.The DS model was created by administering lard,a 60%cold sucrose solution,and Chinese Baijiu viagavage.In contrast,PHN was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by injecting anti-Fx1A serum into the tail vein.The general condition of the rats was assessed,while the levels of urine protein,albumin,and serum creatinine were measured using commercially available kits.Pathological renal damage was evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin,periodic acid-schiff,and periodic acid-silver methenamine staining,while podocyte damage was assessed through immunohistochemistry.The proportions of Th17 cells and Treg cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were quantified by flow cytometry.Plasma cytokine levels of interleukin 17,transforming growth factor-β1,and interleukin 6 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS:This study demonstrated a significant increase in proteinuria and total cholesterol levels in PHN rats with DS,along with more severe histopathological kidney damage.DS exacerbated podocyte damage in PHN rats.Additionally,the number of Treg cells was significantly reduced,while the ratio of Th17/Treg cells was significantly elevated in PHN rats with DS.CONCLUSION:In conclusion,the findings of our study indicate that the presence of DS exacerbates renal injury in PHN,a rat model used to simulate experimental membranous nephropathy.This observation may be closely linked to the exacerbation of the Th17/Treg imbalance and podocyte injury in PHN rats induced by DS.

文摘On the basis of the model tests,this paper explores the coupled hydrodynamic performance of the moonpool and the hull.This study aims to compare and analyze the variation in the hull heave response between the piston resonance state of the moonpool under wave excitation and the non-resonance state of the moonpool under wave-current excitation.A novel damping device specifically designed and fabricated for stepped moonpools has been developed.Before and after the installation of the damping device,the free surface response characteristics of the moonpool and heave motion response characteristics of the hull are compared.The findings show a clear correlation between the current speed and heave response characteristics of the hull.During the seakeeping design phase of the drilling vessel,the current speed is an additional critical factor that cannot be disregarded,alongside the moonpool effect.A correlation exists between the fluid dynamics occurring within the moonpool and the heave motion of the vessel hull.A reduction in the amplitude of the motion of the moonpool water results in a decrease in the heave motion of the hull.This study provides a reference for alleviating the seakeeping of a drill ship’s heave response and enhancing the safety and efficiency of the operation.

文摘This paper investigates the impact of the model top and damping layer on the numerical simulation of tropical cyclones(TCs)and reveals the significant role of stratospheric gravity waves(SGWs).TCs can generate SGWs,which propagate upward and outward into the stratosphere.These SGWs can reach the damping layer,which is a consequence of the numerical scheme employed,where they can affect the tangential circulation through the dragging and forcing processes.In models with a higher top boundary,this tangential circulation develops far from the TC and has minimal direct impact on TC intensity.By comparison,in models with a lower top(e.g.,20 km),the damping layer is located just above the top of the TC.The SGW dragging in the damping layer and the consequent tangential force can thus induce ascent outside the eyewall,promote latent heat release,tilt the eyewall,and enlarge the inner-core radius.This process will reduce inner-core vorticity advection within the boundary layer,and eventually inhibits the intensification of the TC.This suggests that when the thickness of the damping layer is 5 km,the TC numerical model top height should be at least higher than 20 km to generate more accurate simulations.

文摘For the solution of peridynamic equations of motion,a meshless approach is typically used instead of utilizing semi-analytical or mesh-based approaches.In contrast,the literature has limited analytical solutions.This study develops a novel analytical solution for one-dimensional peridynamic models,considering the effect of damping.After demonstrating the details of the analytical solution,various demonstration problems are presented.First,the free vibration of a damped system is considered for under-damped and critically damped conditions.Peridynamic solutions and results from the classical theory are compared against each other,and excellent agreement is observed between the two approaches.Next,forced vibration analyses of undamped and damped conditions are performed.In addition,the effect of horizon size is investigated.It is shown that for smaller horizon sizes,peridynamic results agree well with classical results,whereas results from these two approaches deviate from each other as the horizon size increases.
