Response curves that can be easily used by designers are presented for vertically loaded floating piles. The good accuracy of the theory used was previously confirmed. A design example is presented that illustrates application of the curves.

The steady-state response of a system constrained by a limited slip joint and excited by a trigonometrically varying external load is discussed. It is shown that the system may possess such features as disconnected response curves and jumps in response depending on the strength of the system nonlinearity, the level of excitation, the amount of viscous damping, and the initial conditions of the system.

Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic response of an undamped mechanical system with one degree of freedom subjected to disturbances which are described by antisymmetric forcing functions. The analysis was undertaken to throw light on the effect on the vibration of the wings caused by unsymmetric landing impact of an airplane. Two types of disturbances are considered; a full-sine-wave pulse, and a pulse which is the difference between two overlapping half sine waves. The results are presented in the form of dynamic-response curves and dynamic-response-factor curves. The numerically greatest dynamic-response factors, approximately 3.24 and −3.26, resulted for a full-sine-wave pulse disturbance with a ratio of duration of impact to natural period, Ti/T ≅ 1.11. When Ti/T is in the neighborhood of 1, the first positive peak of dynamic response is numerically less than the negative and positive peaks which follow it. For much of the range, the positive and negative dynamic-response factors are numerically approximately equal. The analysis was confined to values of Ti/T between 0.33 and 12. As Ti/T increases without limit, the positive and negative dynamic-response factors tend to 1 and −1, respectively.

The dynamic behaviour of earthen materials reinforced with natural fibres is little studied although earth buildings are often built in seismic areas. In this paper the dynamic behaviour of an earthen material reinforced with hemp fibres under different impact loadings has been experimentally investigated. The dynamic response of the material in 3-point bending was investigated through an instrumented dropweight device, while the response in tension and in compression was investigated through a modified Hopkinson bar device. Typical impact response curves for tension, compression and bending impact tests have been obtained. The favourable effect of fibres in dissipating fracture energy under impact loads has been observed in all these types of test.

The present paper addresses the problem of the dynamic response of a vibrating equipment for soil compaction. In essence, dynamic response vibrations are analysed by applying an inertial-type perturbing force. This is generated by rotating an eccentric mass with variable angular velocity, in order to reach the regime necessary to ensure the degree of compaction. The original character of the research is that during the compaction process, the soil layers with certain compositions of clay, sand, water and stabilizing substances change their rigidity and/or amortization. In this case, two situations were analysed, both experimentally and with numerical modelling, with special results and practical engineering conclusions, favourable to the evaluation of the interaction between vibrator roller–compacted ground. We mention that the families of amplitude–pulse and transmitted force–pulse response curves are presented, from which the dynamic effect in the compaction process results after each passage on the same layer of soil, until the necessary compaction state is reached.

This paper presents a numerical and parametric study of the effect of an ice cover on the dynamic response of a concrete dam using the approach proposed in the companion paper in this issue. The method was programmed and implemented in a finite element code specialized for the seismic analysis of concrete dams. The 84-m-high Outardes 3 concrete gravity dam in northeastern Quebec was chosen as a model for this research. Some basic aspects of the numerical model are established in this paper and we show that the ice cover affects the dynamic response of the ice–dam–reservoir system. Main features of this influence are emphasized and discussed in a parametric study through the analysis of: (i) acceleration frequency response curves at the dam crest, (ii) hydrodynamic frequency response curves inside the reservoir, and (iii) the hydrodynamic pressure distribution on the upstream face of the dam. Key words: gravity dams, concrete dams, ice, reservoirs, mathematical models, ice–structure interaction, fluid–structure interaction, forced-vibration testing, finite elements modelling.

There are few studies on space-driven gear systems in the existing literature. In this paper, a spacedriven two-stage spur gear system is taken as the research object, and a 10 DOF dynamic model is established. A nonlinear dynamic response analysis was performed. The backlash was introduced into the dynamic model, and the time-varying stiffness was corrected to make the theoretical model closer to reality. By comparing two kinds of dynamic response curves with and without return difference, it was illustrated that the influence of return difference on dynamic transmission error in a gear system. The results obtained in this paper provide a reference and basis for subsequent research.
