The analytical expressions of modal combination （correlation） coefficients of structural response are developed for multi-support seismic excitations. The coefficients from both the numerical integration and analytical solutions are compared to verify the accuracy of the solutions. It is shown that the analytical expressions of numerical modal combination coefficients are of high accuracy. The results of random responses of an example bridge show that the analytical modal combination coefficients developed in this paper are accurate enough to meet the requirements needed in practice. In addition, the computational efficiency of the analytical solutions of the modal combination coefficients is demonstrated by the response computation of the example bridge. It is found that the time required for the structural response analysis by using the analytical modal combination coefficients is less than 1/20 of that using numerical integral methods.展开更多

It is the statically indeterminate system with over load, large torque and multi-support. The kiln move axis warp resulting in that the load distribution is asymmetry, cause many mechanical failure and safe accidents and the interruption of the produce, which bring a great losses. Treating the distribution of the kiln load and the complexity of the stiffness change, the all-purpose model and matrix, used to solve the variable-stiffness beam upon complex load, are established in this paper. The resultant force of kiln in vertical and horizontal direction is calculated. Accordingly, the liner formulas for calculating the supporting force of the support wheels are obtained, and the wheel supporting force also can be easily obtained based on each shell warp. This will provide theory conference for safety management and rational maintenance.展开更多

The excitation sources come from the impact forces acting on the ring beam of the reticulated structure, on the basis of which the records of motions of each excited point and corresponding structural vibration responses are all collected. The theoretical analytical model of the structure is further established and the structural dynamic responses are obtained subjected to the same excitation case via multi-support time history method. The calculation results are generally in agreement with those of the test in both time domain and frequency domain, which verify the effectiveness of multi-support time history method. The vibration test can also provide references for long-span structures under multi-support excitations.展开更多
