Pounding between insufficiently separated buildings, which may result in considerable damage or may even lead to the total collapse of colliding structures, has been repeatedly observed during earthquakes. Earthquake-induced collisions of buildings has been intensively studied applying various structural models. It was assumed in the analyses, however, that the seismic excitation is identical for all structural supports; whereas, in the reality, the ground motion differs from place to place due to spatial seismic effects connected with propagation of the seismic wave. The aim of the present paper is to conduct a detailed non-linear damage-involved analysis of pounding between two structures under non-uniform earthquake loading. A case of pounding between the Olive View Hospital main building and one of its stairway towers, observed during the San Fernando earthquake of 1971, has been considered in the study. In the numerical FEM analysis, non-linear material properties have been simulated using stiffness degradation (due to damage under cyclic loading) model of concrete and elastoplastic damage model of reinforcing steel. A method of conditional stochastic modelling has been used to generate the input ground motion records. The results of the study indicate that the incorporation of the non-uniform ground motion excitation may lead to substantial change of pounding-involved response of the structures. The difference between the uniform and non-uniform responses has been found to be relatively large considering the fact that the variation in the simulated input ground motion records was rather small. This shows the importance of incorporation in the damage-involved numerical analysis the effects connected with propagation of the seismic wave.

A new simulation method is proposed for dynamic characteristics of cracked rotor based on the finite element analysis, in which the stiffness model has been derived for the exact description of variation rules of cracked shafts. A non-linear dynamic equation is constituted according to stiffness characteristic of cracked-rotor change in time domain. Then the corresponding dynamic equation of the cracked rotor based on FEM analysis is modeled and the numerical simulation is carried out with solutions of high accuracy. At last, the dynamic characteristics of cracked rotor in diverse conditions are analyzed, and the simulation results are compared. It is shown that the non-linear oil film bearing force coupling with periodicity variety stiffness of cracked rotor has a great effect on dynamic behavior of the rotor and that the cracked rotor can be diagnosed effectively by the criterion that the swing of disk center obviously accretes and the wave crest appears when rotation speed is a half critical speed of rotor shaft system.

The purpose of this study was experimental investigations and a study of the nature of the change in the main harmonic components of the current in the neutral working wire of a three-phase four-wire network with a voltage of 0.38 kV. The study of the amplitude-phase-frequency characteristics of currents flowing in an electric network with a predominant non-linear load is one of the most urgent tasks, the solution of which will increase the efficiency of electric power transmission and eliminate the negative consequences due to the current flow in a zero-working wire in the network at 0.38 kV. To study the effect of load changes on the amplitude-phase-frequency characteristics of currents in the linear and zero working wires at the input of the load node, measurements were carried out by certified electrical measuring instruments namely, the “Resource-UF2M” and “Hioki 3196”. With these devices, the phase voltages at the input to the load node were measured. The analysis of the results obtained for the load node whose power was formed mainly by a lighting system with fluorescent and LED lamps and a system of office electrical receivers (computers, copiers, printers, scanners, etc.) was performed. It can be concluded that a current comparable to the currents of the linear wires of the network flows from the load node with the predominant nonlinear power receivers through the zero-working wire. At the same time, in the zero-working wire of the network, the third harmonic current prevails over the main frequency currents. ABSTRAK: Tujuan kajian ini adalah penyelidikan eksperimental dan kajian mengenai sifat perubahan komponen harmonik utama arus dalam wayar kerja neutral rangkaian empat wayar tiga fasa dengan voltan 0.38 kV. Kajian mengenai ciri-ciri frekuensi-amplitud-fasa arus yang mengalir dalam rangkaian elektrik dengan beban bukan linear yang dominan adalah salah satu tugas yang paling mendesak, penyelesaiannya akan meningkatkan kecekapan penghantaran tenaga elektrik dan menghilangkan akibat negatif yang disebabkan ke arus semasa dalam wayar sifar bekerja di rangkaian pada 0.38 kV. Untuk mengkaji kesan perubahan beban pada ciri frekuensi-fasa frekuensi arus dalam wayar linier dan sifar pada input nod beban, pengukuran dilakukan oleh alat pengukur elektrik yang disahkan iaitu, "Resource-UF2M" dan "Hioki 3196". Dengan peranti ini, voltan fasa pada input ke simpul beban diukur. Analisis hasil yang diperoleh untuk simpul beban yang kekuatannya dibentuk terutama oleh sistem pencahayaan dengan lampu pendarfluor dan LED dan sistem penerima elektrik pejabat (komputer, mesin fotokopi, pencetak, pengimbas, dll.). Dapat disimpulkan bahawa arus yang setanding dengan arus wayar linier rangkaian mengalir dari nod beban dengan penerima kuasa bukan linier yang dominan melalui wayar sifar. Pada masa yang sama, dalam wayar sifar rangkaian, arus harmonik ketiga berlaku berbanding arus frekuensi utama.

Abstract It is crucial to grasp wheel-rail contact forces in the evaluation of running safety and curving performance of railway vehicles. To measure the wheel-rail contact forces, instrumented wheelset, which has the strain gauges on the wheel surface, is widely used. The purpose of this research is to increase the measurement accuracy of the wheel-rail contact forces by understanding the detailed characteristics of the instrumented wheelset. Although the various research works on the instrumented wheelset have been carried out to increase the measurement accuracy of wheel-rail contact forces, there are few works considering the longitudinal force and the lateral shift of the wheel-rail contact point. However, sometimes the longitudinal force has a non-negligible influence on the measurement accuracy on the instrumented wheelset. In this paper, the authors clarify the cross-sensitivity characteristics of the instrumented wheelset when the longitudinal force is applied to the various lateral position on the wheel tread through the FEM analysis and the static load test. The authors also propose a method to approximate the cross-sensitivity as an analytical function of the lateral and circumferential contact positions.
