Laboratory optimization of the soil digging process

A new idea for the optimization of digging using earth-working machinery is presented and experimentally verified. This idea is based on the conclusions derived from previous papers presented by the same authors, that the soil cutting trajectories incorporating the generated shear band as a part of them are the optimal ones. Dividing the whole excavation task into several repeatable cycles for which the soil free boundary before and after the experiment are similar the optimization of a single cycle plays a significant role in the energetic efficiency of the whole task. A single cycle of the working process is defined using several basing parameters. The influence of each parameter on the specific unit energy of the process was experimentally verified. Finally, a set of values for the discussed parameters is recommended for the particular soil and tool shape.

摩擦过程中真实接触面积的灰色分析

灰色系统理论是近几年以随机过程为研究对象而形成和发展起来的，在农业和自动控制等方面的研究与应用发展较快．为了使这种理论应用于摩擦学研究领域，从光全反射测量和计算机数值计算两方面，考察了粗糙表面接触时真实接触面积的随机特性，指出摩擦过程中的真实接触面积是一种含有随机成分的变化量，研究目标应当侧重于真实接触面积的变化趋势和范围，而不是它的精确解．在此基础上，首次利用灰色系统理论，分别对静态和动态接触条件下真实接触面积的变化规律进行了灰色分析，建立了精度比较高的预测真实接触面积的灰色模型ＣＭ（１，１）．这种模型对动、静接触面积的计算值与实测值具有良好的一致性，可以用于动态跟踪描述摩擦过程中真实接触面积的变化规律     

A high-speed photographic study of the transition from deflagration to detonation wave

Experiments were conducted to investigate the DDT process of the oxyhydrogen gas in the rectangular detonation tube of 3 m long. The repeated obstacle was installed near the ignition plug and the effects of the obstacle on the DDT process were investigated. The behaviour of the combustion and detonation wave were visualized utilizing Imacon high-speed camera with the aid of Schlieren optics. As a result, DDT process was visualized, i.e. (i) multiple shock waves were induced by the expanding combustion wave, because the combustion flame played a role as a piston and compressed the unburned gases. (ii) The acceleration of the combustion wave was occurred and the distance between the shock wave and the combustion flame became shorter. (iii) Eventually, the local explosion was occurred and cause overdriven detonation wave to propagate at the velocity of about 3 kms⁻¹. An abridged version of this paper was presented at the 15th Int. Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems at Boulder, Colorado, from July 30 to August 4, 1995     

三峡库区滑坡的时空分布特征与成因探讨

三峡库区地质灾害频繁发生,地质历史上大型滑坡广泛发育。近年库区滑坡灾害有逐年增加趋势。这些滑坡形成的堆积体成因复杂,不能单纯从传统的外动力或内动力作用来解释,给库区灾害的防治工程带来了很大困难。三峡库区大型古滑坡主要沿长江干流和支流的深切河谷两岸分布,与河流发育演化史密切相关。15万年以来,长江三峡地区经历了新构造期以来抬升速率最快的一次构造幕,山原期夷平面上升了100m,河流强烈下切,形成高陡岸坡,卸荷效应显著;同时,该时期三峡地区的气候受到青藏高原环境变化的影响,在间冰期可能存在相似的暖湿古气候环境,降水极为丰富。三峡库区的大型古滑坡在新构造快速抬升时期广泛发育,并且与暖湿多雨期相对应,表明库区滑坡的发育演化是新构造运动和气候变化内外动力耦合作用的结果。

On the effects of non-linear elements in the reliability-based optimal design of stochastic dynamical systems

The aim of the present paper is to study the effects of non-linear devices on the reliability-based optimal design of structural systems subject to stochastic excitation. One-dimensional hysteretic devices are used for modelling the non-linear system behavior while non-stationary filtered white noise processes are utilized to represent the stochastic excitation. The reliability-based optimization problem is formulated as the minimization of the expected cost of the structure for a specified failure probability. Failure is assumed to occur when any one of the output states of interest exceeds in magnitude some specified threshold level within a given time duration. Failure probabilities are approximated locally in terms of the design variables during the optimization process in a parallel computing environment. The approximations are based on a local interpolation scheme and on an efficient simulation technique. Specifically, a subset simulation scheme is adopted and integrated into the proposed optimization process. The local approximations are then used to define a series of explicit approximate optimization problems. A sensitivity analysis is performed at the final design in order to evaluate its robustness with respect to design and system parameters. Numerical examples are presented in order to illustrate the effects of hysteretic devices on the design of two structural systems subject to earthquake excitation. The obtained results indicate that the non-linear devices have a significant effect on the reliability and global performance of the structural systems.

Beitrag zur Prüfung metallischer Werkstoffe im Torsionsversuch

Zusammenfassung Der Torsionsversuch eignet sich zur Untersuchung des plastischen Verhaltens von Metallen bei erhöhten Temperaturen, wenn die Fließspannung stark von der Umformgeschwindigkeit abhängt. Aus der gemessenen Drehmoment-Drehwinkel-Kurve wird die Fließkurvek _f () berechnet. Hierfür wird ein Fließkriterium benötigt, dessen Unsicherheit im allgemeinen größer ist als alle Meßfehler. Diese Unsicherheit geht aber nicht in die berechnete Dehngeschwindigkeitsempfindlichkeit ein, die somit als Hauptergebnis des Versuches anzusehen ist.Um die Bedingungen technischer Warmumformung zu simulieren, wird die Verwendung extrem kurzer Proben (flacher Scheiben) empfohlen, womit sehr hohe Umformgeschwindigkeiten erreicht werden können. Für die Auswertung derartiger Versuche ist die wirksame Länge der kurzen Proben — experimentell oder semiempirisch — zu bestimmen und die Kerbwirkung zu berücksichtigen. Im Gegensatz zur herkömmlichen Vorgehensweise wird empfohlen, die örtliche Spannung und Verzerrung nicht für die Mantelfläche der Probe zu berechnen, sondern für einen kritischen Radialabstand im Innern der Probe, für den die Schiebung von der Kerbwirkung unabhängig ist, so daß sich die zuverlässigsten Werte ergeben.

Summary The torsion test is often used for studying the plastic deformation of metals at elevated temperatures when stress depends strongly on the strain rate. From the measured torque-twisting angle curve, the stress-strain curvek _f () has to be calculated. For this purpose a yield criterion has to be used the uncertaintly of which normally exceeds all experimental errors. This uncertaintly, however, does not propagate into the calculated strain rate sensitivity which therefore may be considered as the main result of the torsion test.For simulating the conditions of technical hot forming processes, the use of extremely short test pieces (flat discs) by which very high strain rates can be obtained is recommended. For evaluating the test data the efficient lenght of short specimens has to be determined. In opposition to the conventional procedure of test evaluation, it is recommended not to calculate stress and strain for the surface of the specimen but for a critical radius for which strain is independent of the notch effect so that the most reliable values are obtained.

Finite difference method for 2-D and 3-D nonlinear free surface wave problems

A finite difference method is developed for the numerical modelling of the 2-D and 3-D unsteady potential flow generated by transient disturbances on the free surface, on which the nonlinear boundary conditions are fully satisfied. The unknown function is computed with an iteration scheme processing in a transformed time-invariant space. After the velocity is calculated, the location of the free surface is renewed and so is the value of velocity on it. The boundary-value problem of the governing equation is then solved at the next time step. The present method incorporates the FFT. Consequently, a tri-diagonal equation system is obtained which could be readily solved. The feasibility of this method has been demonstrated by 2-D and 3-D examples corresponding to different initial disturbances. This work is supported by the science foundation of Academia Sinica. The paper had been accepted by the XVIth International Congress of IUTAM, Lyngby, Denmark, August, 1984.
