多跨连续矮腿V型刚构的设计对策

该文以宁波市福庆路后塘河大桥为例,通过对矮腿V型刚构桥不同基础形式的计算结果分析,得出在基础水平刚度较大情况下,总体温度及收缩徐变是影响V型刚构桩基轴力分布不均匀的主要原因。根据计算结果,提出采用大直径的单排桩基形式,以降低桩基的水平刚度,解决桩基轴力不均匀分布的问题。最后,结合设计意图,提出一些有效的施工及构造保证措施,确保桥梁的顺利建成。     

泡沫应变率对行人小腿碰撞性能影响的研究

建立了车辆-行人小腿碰撞模型,在考虑和不考虑泡沫应变率效应的条件下进行了车辆保险杠与行人小腿的碰撞模拟分析,并与试验结果进行了对比.通过对小腿加速度、弯曲角、剪切位移3个性能参数的模拟分析结果表明,泡沫应变率对行人小腿碰撞性能影响较大,因此在实际分析中必须考虑泡沫材料的应变率效应.

Sea trials of Sigma wave energy converter – slacking and snapping of TLP mooring lines

Sigma Energy has performed its foremost prototype tests of scaled wave energy converter in a real sea environment. The prototype was a point absorber with a cylindrical buoy, a mechanical power take-off system with a counterweight, moored to the seabed as a tension leg platform (TLP) with three equal tendons. In these extensive experiments, numerous device characteristics were measured and analysed. The present paper focuses on the dynamic forces in the mooring lines, and some unexpected and rare data obtained. It is well known that TLP tendons are prone to a brief loss of tension (the slacking) and that, after such events, high snapping forces of short duration can arise. Partly by intention, and partly due to underestimation of the dynamical forces, several such slacking-snapping incidents were recorded during the experiments. In some severe storms, the snapping forces were up to six times higher than the tendon pretension. The paper presents several recordings of dynamic forces and platform motion during these critical events. It analysis them, and gives a typical scenario under which they occur. It gives also some theoretical explanations, and numerical predictions of dynamical tendon forces, with their comparison to the experimental results.
