Considering the impact of adjacent bridges, the tower-cable-track-beam-pier-pile finite element model of the cable-stayed bridge was established. Taking a bridge group including 40-32m simply-supported beam and (32+80+112)m single-tower cable-stayed bridge and 17-32m simply-supported beam on the Kunming-Shanghai high-speed railway as an example, the characteristics of CWR longitudinal force on the cable-stayed bridge were studied. It is shown that adjacent bridges must be considered in the calculation of the track expansion force and bending force on cable-stayed bridge. When the span amount of adjacent bridges is too numerous, it can be simplified as six spans; the fixed bearing of adjacent simply-supported beams should be placed on the side near the cable-stayed bridge; the track expansion device should be set at the bridge tower to reduce the track force near the bridge abutment.展开更多

The initial hanger tensions are first obtained through an iterative analysis by combining the girder-tower-only finite element(FE) model with the analytical program for shape finding of the spatial cable system. These initial hanger tensions, together with the corresponding cable coordinates and internal forces, are then included into the FE model of the total bridge system, the nonlinear analysis of which involves the optimization technique. Calculations are repeated until the optimization algorithm converges to the most optimal hanger tensions(i.e. the desired reasonable finished bridge state). The "temperature rigid arm" is introduced to offset the unavoidable initial deformations of the girder and tower, which are due to the huge axial forces originated from the main cable. Moreover, by changing the stiffness coefficient K in the girder-tower-only FE model, the stiffness proportion of the main girder, the tower or the cable subsystem in the whole structural system could be adjusted according to the design intentions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined and demonstrated by one simple tutorial example and one self-anchored suspension bridge.展开更多

This is the first time of using three trusses in such large bridges in the world. These two types of railway floor systems of the two bridges have never been used in China before. The problem how to conform the deformations and stress levels of the railway floor system of WTC Bridge was studied. After finite element analysis and comparison,the plan of arranging one expansion stringer every two panels in railway floor system were proposed and good effect was obtained. Because of the application of three trusses,the allocation of the loads acted on the deck in three trusses is different and varies in different places of NDC Bridge. This problem was studied by model experiment and 3D finite element analysis. The results of 3D FEM analysis coincide with the model test results. The allocation rule of the loads acting on the deck in three trusses was presented. Because of the application of monolithic decks,the stiffness and structural integrity of NDC Bridge are high.展开更多

An example is presented and numerical results are compared. The results show that the additional longitudinal forces calculated with the new model are less than those of the previous, especially in the case of the flexible pier bridges. The new model is also suitable for the analysis of the additional longitudinal force transmission between rails and bridges of ballastless track with small resistance fasteners without taking the sleeper displacement into account, and compared with the ballast bridges, the ballastless bridges have a much stronger additional longitudinal force transmission between the continuously welded rails and the bridges.展开更多

However, the influences of splitter plates on the VIV and aerostatic performances are more complicated due to aerodynamic interference between highway and railway decks. To study the effects of splitter plates, wind tunnel experiments for measuring VIV and aerostatic forces of twin decks under two opposite flow directions were conducted, while the surrounding flow and wind pressure of static twin decks with and without splitter plates are numerically simulated. The results showed that the incoming flow direction affects the VIV response and aerostatic coefficients. The highway deck has poor vertical and torsional VIV, and the VIV region and amplitude are different under different directions. While the railway deck only has vertical VIV when located upstream. The splitter plates can impede the process of vortex generation, shedding and impinging at the gap between twin deck, and significantly reducing the surface fluctuating pressure coefficient, thus effectively suppressing the VIV of twin decks. While, the splitter plates hurt the upstream deck regarding static wind stability and have little effect on the downstream deck. The splitter plates of appropriate width are recommended to improve VIV performances in twin parallel bridges.展开更多

Furthermore, improving the safety, reliability, and production efficiency of energetic semiconductor bridge(ESCB) is the primary focus for large-scale engineering applications in the future. Here, the Al/CuO nano-film ESCB was efficiently fabricated using 3D direct writing. The electrostatic safety of the film is enhanced by precisely adjusting the particle size of Al, while ensuring that the SCB can initiate the film with small energy. The burst characteristics of SCB/ESCB were thoroughly investigated by employing a 100 μF tantalum capacitor to induce SCB and ESCB under an intense voltage gradient. The solid-state heating process of both SCB and ESCB was analyzed with multi physical simulation(MPS). The experimental results demonstrate that the critical burst time of both SCB and ESCB decreases with increasing voltage. Under the same voltage, the critical burst time of ESCB is longer than that of SCB, primarily due to differences in the melting to vaporization stage. The MPS results indicate that the highest temperature is observed at the V-shaped corner of SCB. Due to the thermal contact resistance between SCB and the film, heat conduction becomes more concentrated in the central region of the bridge, resulting in a faster solid-state heating process for ESCB compared to SCB.The results of the gap ignition experiments indicate that at a 19 mm gap, an ESCB with a film mass of 10 mg can ignite nickel hydrazine nitrate(NHN) and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine(RDX). This suggests that thermite ESCB can serve as a novel, safe, and reliable energy exchange element and initiator in largescale engineering applications.展开更多

文摘Installing the splitter plates is a passive aerodynamic solution for eliminating vortex-induced vibration (VIV). However, the influences of splitter plates on the VIV and aerostatic performances are more complicated due to aerodynamic interference between highway and railway decks. To study the effects of splitter plates, wind tunnel experiments for measuring VIV and aerostatic forces of twin decks under two opposite flow directions were conducted, while the surrounding flow and wind pressure of static twin decks with and without splitter plates are numerically simulated. The results showed that the incoming flow direction affects the VIV response and aerostatic coefficients. The highway deck has poor vertical and torsional VIV, and the VIV region and amplitude are different under different directions. While the railway deck only has vertical VIV when located upstream. The splitter plates can impede the process of vortex generation, shedding and impinging at the gap between twin deck, and significantly reducing the surface fluctuating pressure coefficient, thus effectively suppressing the VIV of twin decks. While, the splitter plates hurt the upstream deck regarding static wind stability and have little effect on the downstream deck. The splitter plates of appropriate width are recommended to improve VIV performances in twin parallel bridges.

文摘The energy release of energetic composites is severely limited by the inert alumina(Al_(2)O_(3))layer on the surface of aluminum(Al).Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)could eliminate Al_(2)O_(3)layer due to its highly electronegativity and oxidability of fluorine.However,adding PTFE particles would weaken interfacial interactions resulted in poor mechanical properties and interfacial exothermic reaction.Herein,a bridging Al-PTFE as fuel and interfacial reinforcing agent was added and used to prepare LLM-105/AlPTFE microspheres,achieving both high energy output and excellent mechanical properties.The energy release and combustion reaction performance of LLM-105/Al-PTFE microspheres are significantly improved due to high reaction heat and increased interfacial reaction area of Al-PTFE.The maximum pressure and pressurization rate of LLM-105/Al-PTFE microspheres are 164.06 kPa and 29.88 kPa/s,respectively,which are 40.11%and 16.67%higher than those of physical mixed samples.Furthermore,the tensile strength and compressive strength of LLM-105/Al-PTFE microspheres are 100.40%and 26.47%higher than those of LLM-105/Al.This work provides a new approach to improve the energy release and mechanical properties for energetic composites.

文摘Enhancing the output capacity of semiconductor bridge(SCB) through the application of composite nano-energetic films is a subject of wide concern. Furthermore, improving the safety, reliability, and production efficiency of energetic semiconductor bridge(ESCB) is the primary focus for large-scale engineering applications in the future. Here, the Al/CuO nano-film ESCB was efficiently fabricated using 3D direct writing. The electrostatic safety of the film is enhanced by precisely adjusting the particle size of Al, while ensuring that the SCB can initiate the film with small energy. The burst characteristics of SCB/ESCB were thoroughly investigated by employing a 100 μF tantalum capacitor to induce SCB and ESCB under an intense voltage gradient. The solid-state heating process of both SCB and ESCB was analyzed with multi physical simulation(MPS). The experimental results demonstrate that the critical burst time of both SCB and ESCB decreases with increasing voltage. Under the same voltage, the critical burst time of ESCB is longer than that of SCB, primarily due to differences in the melting to vaporization stage. The MPS results indicate that the highest temperature is observed at the V-shaped corner of SCB. Due to the thermal contact resistance between SCB and the film, heat conduction becomes more concentrated in the central region of the bridge, resulting in a faster solid-state heating process for ESCB compared to SCB.The results of the gap ignition experiments indicate that at a 19 mm gap, an ESCB with a film mass of 10 mg can ignite nickel hydrazine nitrate(NHN) and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine(RDX). This suggests that thermite ESCB can serve as a novel, safe, and reliable energy exchange element and initiator in largescale engineering applications.

文摘Past earthquakes have revealed that topographic features have significant impacts on the characteristics of ground motions,which may cause the amplification and de-amplification of input seismic waves.The topographic effect with the assumption of plane seismic waves on the seismic responses of bridges has been investigated in the existing literature;however,the influence of near-source topographic effects has not been thoroughly understood.The objective of this study is to numerically explore the near-source topographic effects on the seismic behaviors of an existing railway bridge crossing a symmetrical V-shaped canyon.The influence of the source of incident waves is estimated.Numerical results demonstrate that the topographic effects can noticeably amplify the seismic responses of the bridge.Compared to the bridge without crossing a canyon,the peak displacements of the girder,pier,and bearing in the case of the canyon crossing bridge increase by 15.2%,2.9%−14.5%,and 24.2%−229.6%,respectively.The piers at the illuminated side of the canyon experience larger seismic responses compared to the piers at the shaded side of the canyon due to the unequal motion amplitudes at each support.As the source-to-canyon distance increases,the seismic responses of the piers show an increasing trend.
