The dynamic response of rail support

This research reviews principles behind the dynamic response of rail supports, and introduces a method of analysis to find the maximum response in a realistic setting. Assuming a time-dependent, moving mass with massive wheels is essential, because the ratio of the moving mass to the rail mass is significant. However, the dynamic response of the track is not affected by dynamic properties of the train other than its unsprung mass, because the natural frequencies of the train suspension and track are significantly different. A numerical method is developed to model the dynamic response based on these principles, and applied to the Korean urban transit. The dynamic response includes multiple peaks with a large amplitude range, creating noise while the wheel passes the support. The dynamic impact factor (DIF) for the rail support depends mainly on the stiffness and damping of the rail support. The DIF for the rail moment is below the code value, whether this value is based on numerical analysis or on-site measurements. However, our numerical analysis results in a DIF for support settlement that is greater than the code value, if the damping is less than 3%.

针对隧道底板中空腔、含水、裂缝等结构内部损伤情况，为提高传统接触式冲击回波方法的检测效率，从气-固耦合的角度出发，以空气作为底板结构与检测系统之间应力波传播的耦合介质，开展隧道底板结构内部缺陷的空气耦合冲击回波响应特性研究。研究结果表明： 1）采用空气耦合冲击回波的方法确定的底板结构内部缺陷深度与缺陷理论深度值基本吻合； 2）检测系统的精度与缺陷尺寸及深度有关，随着缺陷尺寸的减小及深度增加，检测精度逐渐降低； 3）空气耦合冲击回波方法对空腔和含水缺陷的检测效果优于裂缝缺陷检测效果。     

Participating mass in colliding risers

One of the main challenges in estimating impact energy in collisions between marine risers is the assessment of the riser mass involved in the collision. Evidently the entire riser mass does not contribute to the collision. Hence, the question is: What is the equivalent riser mass which contributes to the impact energy? This article presents three different ways of estimating the riser mass participating in the collision energy. The first method is strictly experimental. The second method uses a numerical experiment together with system identification techniques. The third method is a strictly analytical method, which results in an asymptotically upper bounded estimate of the participating mass. Two risers are examined as case studies. The first riser is a 1 : 100 model scale riser used in collision experiments carried out at Marintek's towing tank in Trondheim, Norway. The second case uses a real world riser in use on the Troll B oil production platform operating in the North Sea. The proposed methods yield consistent and comparable results.

中小跨径公路混凝土简支梁桥冲击系数研究及建议取值

为弥补中国现行桥梁规范中计算动力冲击系数时考虑因素单一的不足,对冲击系数的影响因素进行研究,并提出更合理的冲击系数建议值。首先,根据中国桥梁通用图集建立13座不同截面形式和不同跨径的常见中小跨径公路混凝土简支梁桥的有限元模型,结合能表征中国设计车辆荷载动力特性的三维车辆数值模型,建立车桥耦合振动分析系统。然后,基于车桥耦合振动分析系统,研究桥梁基频、桥面不平整度、车速和车质量等因素对动力冲击系数的影响,并与中国现行桥梁设计规范中的动力冲击系数取值进行对比分析。最后,提出冲击系数的建议值,并与世界各国桥梁规范中的冲击系数取值进行对比,讨论建议值的合理性。结果表明:桥面不平整度是影响冲击系数的重要因素,在桥面好的情况下,冲击系数均在0.1以下,低于规范中规定的冲击系数,而桥面很差时,冲击系数可达0.5,远大于中国现行规范中的冲击系数设计值,因此,定期对桥面进行维护能有效减小车辆对桥梁的冲击效应;质量轻的车辆引起更大的冲击系数,但由于车辆总质量轻,其导致的总荷载效应仍然较小,而重车虽然引起的冲击系数较小,但由于其导致的总荷载效应较大,更易对桥面造成损伤,因此,限制超载尤为重要。     

Stakeholder Perspectives on the Value of Marine Spatial Planning Towards Advancing Offshore Wind in the U.S.

The United States contributes only 0.2% of the 18,814?MW of global installed offshore wind capacity. Lack of development has been attributed in part to a cumbersome regulatory process that includes the evaluation of environmental impacts. Assessments are based on biological, social, and technical data that are often incomplete. Marine spatial planning (MSP) may help fill data gaps. We conducted semi-structured interviews with key informants to understand (1) whether a lack of biological data impedes offshore wind environmental assessments, (2) whether MSP could mitigate these impediments, and (3) whether MSP could advance offshore wind development in the U.S. in other ways. Most informants stated that a lack of biological data in offshore wind environmental assessments was problematic due to incomplete data, uncertainty of data, and mismatched scales. Data issues may be mitigated by creation of data products and increased communication, outcomes of MSP that may benefit the regulatory process by increasing data availability, resolving conflicts among users, and providing a common operating picture. Challenges remain in integrating MSP into the processes of siting and permitting offshore wind, but it provides a strategic framework for the systematic identification, collection, collation, analyses, application, and management of data in the offshore wind environmental regulatory process.
