Measurement of concrete internal strain using a three-dimensional transducer system

A new three-dimensional transducer system is introduced in this paper, which enables the measurement of six internal components of strain tensor in concrete members. Laboratory tests and strain analyses were carried out to evaluate this tranducer system. The results show that the system is effective in measuring internal strains of concrete members. It was then embedded in a reinforced concrete bridge deck in Macomb County, Michigan. Field tests were conducted to measure the strains in the deck under truck wheel load. The results were used to understand the deck's strain and stress behavior under truck wheel load.     

Deformation and failure mechanism in AISI 4340 steel under ballistic impact

Deformation and failure mechanism in quench-hardened AISI 4340 steel under ballistic impact is investigated. The influence of microstructure on damage evolution is also evaluated. Strain localization and shear failure along adiabatic shear bands are the dominant deformation and failure mechanisms. The time and critical strain for the commencement of strain localization is influenced by strain rate and microstructure. The microstructure of the steel sample also influenced the type of adiabatic shear bands formed during impact. Failure mechanism involves nucleation of micro-voids, which clusters to form bigger pores. Extremely fine micro-cracks are initiated adjacent to the pores and in shear flow direction along the shear bands. These micro-cracks become interconnected and grow to macro-cracks, which cause fracture of some of the investigated cylindrical steel samples under impact. The susceptibility of the adiabatic shear bands to cracking increases with decreasing tempering temperature of the steel.     

Fatigue criteria for integrity assessment of long-span steel bridge with health monitoring

A structural health assessment (SHA) methodology is developed using data acquired from structural health monitoring (SHM) system installed on long-span bridges. A set of fatigue criteria has been proposed for pre-determining the global state of the bridge structure failure due to fatigue. This involves finding the threshold of fatigue initiation, below which the rate of fatigue damage may be undetectable under current technology or it is economically unfeasible. The state-of-art for large structures corresponds to the initiation of macro-cracks caused by the accumulation of damage generated by actual service loads for the case of bridges. In what follows, consideration is given to developing fatigue crack growth criterion based on the concept of the continuum damage mechanics (CDM). Fatigue accumulative is included in the model where a fatigue limit for multi-axial stress state is considered. The proposed criterion advocates the evolution of micro-crack growth up to the stage of macro-crack formulation. Considered are the loading histories that correspond to normal traffic loading for highways and railways, incidental or accident loadings such as those caused by typhoons and effective environmental loadings. The potential sites of damage are determined are discussed. The proposed criterion is applied to analyze the fatigue damage of the Tsing Ma Bridge with online strain history data acquired by the SHM system that is permanently installed in the bridge.     

桥梁空间分析中预应力效应分析方法研究

预应力技术在桥梁中的广泛使用,使得桥梁结构受力状况复杂,对预应力混凝土桥梁进行空间分析是必要的;但由于预应力筋数量庞大且形状复杂,对预应力空间效应的模拟是预应力混凝土桥梁空间分析的难点。从预应力筋的实际作用机理出发,提出在预应力张拉阶段用等效节点荷载来模拟预应力对结构的作用;而在预应力管道灌浆后,将预应力筋作为结构的一部分,用实体退化单元进行结构分析,并用两算例对本文的方法进行了验证。结果表明,该方法能真正模拟预应力的空间效应,可用于预应力混凝土桥的空间分析。     

轮胎钢丝帘线拉伸力学性能的实验研究

对两种结构类型的钢丝帘线在单向拉伸和循环加载下的力学性能进行了实验研究。结果表明：帘线的结构形式对拉伸力学性能（包括摩擦能量损耗）有显著影响。不考虑载荷很小的情况时，普通结构帘线可近似为弹脆性材料，高伸长结构帘线却可以产生较大的塑性变形；循环载荷下，普通结构帘线几乎没有摩擦能量损耗，而高伸长结构帘线不仅有明显的摩擦能量损耗，而且随着循环应力幅值的增加，摩擦能量损耗呈加速增加的趋势；在循环应力幅值较大时高伸长结构帘线还出现了类似于高温下循环硬化金属材料的循环蠕变现象。文章还讨论了高伸长结构帘线由于塑性变形而引起循环蠕变现象的机理。     

轴心受压H型截面钢柱火灾行为的试验研究

本文对4根H型截面钢柱进行了火灾行为的试验研究。全部火灾试验采用自行研制的火灾试验炉,试验结果表明炉子性能稳定,使用方便。试验采用足尺试验形式,柱长3300mm。钢柱轴心受压,其中两个限制轴向变形,另两个不限制轴向变形。柱两端采用单向刀口支座,允许钢柱绕强轴转动。钢柱试验中考虑荷载大小和是否限制轴向变形两个因素。通过试验,得出了钢柱在火灾下的侧向变形和轴向变形随温度变化情况。试验证明:钢柱受火时,轴向变形明显的分为膨胀阶段和压缩阶段。压缩阶段很短,一旦进入压缩阶段,钢柱很快破坏。钢柱受到的外加荷载越大,其极限温度越低。限制轴向变形的钢柱极限温度降低。试验研究为今后钢结构火灾行为研究提供了依据。

Micro-segregation model calculation of residual tin in boiler and pressure vessel steel

Tin is a typical residual element in steel and mainly originates from Sn-containing complex iron ore and steel scrap. The segregation of Sn in steel is harmful to the performances of steel. In this paper, the micro-segregation of residual element Sn during the solidification process of boiler and pressure vessel steel by micro-segregation model was studied. The results showed that the micro-segregation degree of Sn reduces apparently with the increase of cooling rate and remarkably deteriorates during the solidification process. When the initial content of C is higher than 0.1%, it will cause the solidification transform of the solid phase converting from the ferrite phase to austenite phase and the significant increase in the micro-segregation degree of Sn. However, increasing the initial contents of Si, Mn, P and S separately has non-significant effects on the micro-segregation degree of Sn. In addition, the improvement of initial content of Sn will lead to the micro-segregation degree decrease of Sn and has an inapparent impact on zero strength temperature and zero ductility temperature of the boiler and pressure vessel steel.     

端部激励相位差下斜拉索的非线性振动

斜拉桥中拉索承受着多种端部激励，可激发大幅空间振动．以斜拉索为对象，探究不同端部激励间相位差对其非线性振动的影响．首先，推导斜拉索无量纲离散控制方程，引入考虑相位的三向端部激励得到一般化模型；然后，针对拉索下端存在的纵桥向、竖向和横桥向激励的两两组合，受大幅或小幅激励，及其在主共振区或主参数共振区几组因素，共计12种工况，采用数值分析法分别研究了各工况下不同激励相位差时的斜拉索稳态响应．研究发现：激励相位差能加剧与激励频率相近的面内、外模态振动；在任意端部激励组合下，激励相位差不仅可使斜拉索非线性振动出现定量变化，还可改变内共振的表现形式．面内、外激励组合下，相位差对拉索响应幅值的影响以π为周期变化，且当相位差趋于π/2 + kπ (k = 0, 1, 2…)时影响最为突出；而面内激励组合下，以2π为变化周期，当相位差为π + 2kπ (k = 0, 1, 2, …)时其对稳态幅值的影响最显著．其原因是：面外激励关于拉索所在的竖直面对称，故其本质上以π为周期；而面内激励无此对称性，仍以2π为周期．因此，有无面外激励参与决定了激励间相位差对斜拉索响应的影响规律．
