Wavelength switching in a mixed structure of a long-period and a Bragg fiber gratings

We built a numerical model for evaluating the coupling processes of a mixed structure of a Bragg fiber grat-ing and a long-period grating. From the numerical results, we not only confirmed the wavelength switchingphenomena observed in previously reported experiments, but also discovered a new coupling mechanism,which generated the reflection of a signal with its wavelength longer than the Bragg wavelength. Thedependencies of the wavelength switching behaviors on various parameters of the mixed grating structure     

加筋土地基模型试验边界效应与承载性能分析

为进一步探讨边界效应对加筋土地基的影响,基于室内方形基础下加筋土地基大模型试验,采用ABAQUS有限元软件建立加筋土地基数值模型,主要分析了模型宽度L和加载板宽度B对加筋土地基承载性能、地基内部土体应力应变及筋材变形的影响。结果表明:无筋地基与加筋土地基极限承载力均随L/B的减小而增大,当L/B>5时,可忽略边界效应对加筋土地基的影响;当L/B<2.67时,边界效应对加筋土地基的影响最大;当L/B>4时,边界效应对无筋地基的影响可忽略不计;加筋能够显著改善地基土体的不均匀沉降和减小基础两侧土体隆起高度;竖向应力分布区域随着B的增大而增大,加筋土地基受竖向荷载的影响宽度为5B,影响深度为2.57B~4B;当L/B>5时,不同L/B工况下土体变形、应力分布及格栅变形曲线基本重合,此时加筋土地基受边界效应的影响可忽略不计。
