The dynamic testing of large-scale structures continues to play a significant role in earthquake engineering research. The pseudo- dynamic test (PDT) is an experimental technique for simulating the earthquake response of structures and structural components in time domain. A CFST-RC pier is a modified form of CFST laced column in which CFST members are connected with RC web in longitudinal direction and with steel tube in transverse direction. For this study, a CFST -RC pier is tested under three different earthquake time histories having scaled PGA of 0.05g. From the experiment acceleration, velocity, displacement and load time histories are observed. The dynamic magnification factors for acceleration due to Chamoli, Gorkha and Wenchuan ground motions are observed as 12, 10 and 10 respectively. The frequency of the pier is found to be 1.42 Hz. The result shows that this type of pier has excellent static and earthquake resistant properties.

A remotely collaborative pseudo-dynamic testing platform for bridge structures has been developed based on NetSLab system. It can be used for seismic performance investigation of large-scale bridge structures by combining the Internet and sub-structure technology. The testing platform consists of three modules: control center, physical tester and virtual tester. Through a network communication platform, the operation of receiving and feedback of test data between various modules can be realized. Based on the previous research work, a further improvement of the dynamic structural model, the finite element numerical analysis and the rational division of sub-structure has been achieved. A series of remotely virtual collaborative pseudo-dynamic test of bridge structures has been conducted to verify the feasibility of the test platform.

AbstractUnusual short-period comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 inspired many observers to explain its unpredictable outbursts. In this paper large scale structures and features from the inner part of the coma in time periods around outbursts are studied. CCD images were taken at Whipple Observatory, Mt. Hopkins, in 1989 and at Astronomical Observatory, Modra, from 1995 to 1998. Photographic plates of the comet were taken at Harvard College Observatory, Oak Ridge, from 1974 to 1982. The latter were digitized at first to apply the same techniques of image processing for optimizing the visibility of features in the coma during outbursts. Outbursts and coma structures show various shapes.

AbstractThe large-scale coronal structures observed during the sporadically visible solar eclipses were compared with the numerically extrapolated field-line structures of coronal magnetic field. A characteristic relationship between the observed structures of coronal plasma and the magnetic field line configurations was determined. The long-term evolution of large scale coronal structures inferred from photospheric magnetic observations in the course of 11- and 22-year solar cycles is described.Some known parameters, such as the source surface radius, or coronal rotation rate are discussed and actually interpreted. A relation between the large-scale photospheric magnetic field evolution and the coronal structure rearrangement is demonstrated.
