Optimizing loading path and die linetype of large length-to-diameter ratio metal stator screw lining hydroforming

In order to meet the high temperature environment requirement of deep and superdeep well exploitation, a technology of large length-to-diameter ratio metal stator screw lining meshing with rotor is presented. Based on the elastic-plasticity theory, and under the consideration of the effect of tube size, material mechanical parameters, friction coefficient and loading paths, the external pressure plastic forming mechanical model of metal stator screw lining is established, to study the optimal loading path of metal stator lining tube hydroforming process. The results show that wall thickness reduction of the external pressure tube hydroforming(THF) is about 4%, and three evaluation criteria of metal stator screw lining forming quality are presented: fillet stick mold coefficient, thickness relative error and forming quality coefficient. The smaller the three criteria are, the better the forming quality is.Each indicator has a trend of increase with the loading rate reducing, and the adjustment laws of die arc transition zone equidistance profile curve are acquired for improving tube forming quality. Hence, the research results prove the feasibility of external pressure THF used for processing high-accuracy large length-to-diameter ratio metal stator screw lining, and provide theoretical basis for designing new kind of stator structure which has better performance and longer service life.

A FAST BIT-LOADING ALGORITHM FOR HIGH SPEED POWER LINE COMMUNICATIONS

Adaptive bit-loading is a key technology in high speed power line communications with the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technology. According to the real situation of the transmitting power spectrum limited in high speed power line communications, this paper explored the adaptive bit loading algorithm to maximize transmission bit number when transmitting power spectral density and bit error rate are not exceed upper limit. With the characteristics of the power line channel, first of all, it obtains the optimal bit loading algorithm, and then provides the improved algorithm to reduce the computational complexity. Based on the analysis and simulation, it offers a non-iterative bit allocation algorithm, and finally the simulation shows that this new algorithm can greatly reduce the computational complexity, and the actual bit allocation results close to optimal.

Low Complexity Discrete Bit-loading for OFDM Systems with Application in Power Line Communications

Adaptive bit-loading algorithms can improve the performance of OFDM systems significantly. The tradeoff between the performance of the algorithm and its computational complexity is essential for the implementation of loading algorithms. In this paper, we present a low complexity non-iterative discrete bit-loading algorithm to maximize the data rate subject to specified target BER and uniform power allocation. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the equal-BER loading and achieves similar rates to incremental allocation, yet with much lower complexity.

Identifying boundary between near field and far field in ground vibration caused by surface loading

The boundary between the near and far fields is generally defined as the distance from the vibration source beyond which ground vibrations are mainly dominated by Rayleigh waves. It is closely related to the type of vibration source and the soil properties. Based on the solutions of the Lamb＇s problem, the boundary at the surface between the near and far fields of ground vibration was investigated for a harmonic vertical concentrated load and an infinite line load at the surface of a visco-elastic half-space. Particularly, the variation of the boundary with the material damping was investigated for both cases. The results indicate that the material damping slightly contributes to the attenuation of vibrations in the near-source region, but significantly reduces the vibrations in the region that is at some distance away from the source. When taking the material damping into consideration, the boundary between the near and far fields tends to move towards the vibration source. Compared with the vibrations caused by a concentrated load, the vibrations induced by an infinite line load can affect a larger range of the surrounding environment, and they attenuate more slowly. This means the boundary between the near field and far field should move fitrther away from the source. Finally, the boundaries are defined in terms of R-wave length （2R） and Poisson ratio of the ground （o）. For the case of a point load, the boundary is located at the distance of （5.0-6.0）2R for v≤0.30 and at the distance of （2.0--3.0）2R for v≥0.35. For the case of an infinite line load, the boundary is located at the distance （5.5-6.5）2rt for v≤0.30 and at the distance （2.5--3.5）2R for v≥0.35.

Simplified design of rock cavern concrete lining to resist shock loading

A simplified method was proposed for the design of concrete lining in underground rock cavern/tunnel against shock loading. The loading may result from the detonation of explosives on ground surface or ground penetration projectiles exploding adjacent to the cavern/tunnel. The resulting problem necessitates the solution of the dynamics of a beam loaded by a transient pressure uniformly distributed over the span. According to mechanical characteristics of the system with rock bolt and shotcrete, a dynamic support design method based on equivalent single degree of freedom （SDOF） was put forward. The SDOF method was applied to obtaining the maximum displacement at the mid-span of the beam, which is often the controlling factor in the blast-resistant design. In the formulation of the problem, the proposed method combines the phenomena of spalling and structural dynamics theory. An example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of this simplified method.

The mixed problem for the hyperbolic system, describing the transmission line, to an initial value problem for a neutral equation is reduced. Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of periodic regimes are formulated. The proof is based on the finding out of suitable operator whose fixed point is a periodic solution of the neutral equation. The method has a good rate of convergence of the successive approximations even for high frequencies.

A closed-form solution for a double infinite Euler-Bernoulli beam on a viscoelastic foundation subjected to harmonic line load

The dynamic response of a double infinite beam system connected by a viscoelastic foundation under the harmonic line load is studied. The double infinite beam system consists of two identical and parallel beams, and the two beams are infinite elastic homogeneous and isotropic. A viscoelastic layer connects the two beams continuously. To decouple the two coupled equations governing the response of the double infinite beam system, a variable substitution method is introduced. The frequency domain solutions of the decoupled equations are obtained by using Fourier transforms as well as Laplace transforms successively. The time domain solution in the generalized integral form are then obtained by employing the corresponding inverse transforms, i.e. Fourier transform and inverse Laplace transform. The solution is verified by numerical examples, and the effects of parameters on the response are also investigated.

Compared with the load distribution results, the helical gear changes more smoothly than spur gear. The load distribution provides a basis for calculate tooth bending deformation and critical stress.

A novel approach to the dynamic response analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams resting on a Winkler soil model and subjected to impact loads

This work presents a novel approach to the dynamic response analysis of a Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a Winkler soil model and subjected to an impact loading.The approach considers that damping has much less importance in controlling the maximum response to impulsive loadings because the maximum response is reached in a very short time,before the damping forces can dissipate a significant portion of the energy input into the system.The development of two sine series solutions,relating to different types of impulsive loadings,one involving a single concentrated force and the other a distributed line load,are presented.This study revealed that when a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam,resting on a Winkler soil model,is subject to an impact load,the resulting vertical displacements,bending moments and shear forces produced along the span of the beam are considerably affected.In particular,the quantification of this effect is best observed,relative to the corresponding static solution,via an amplification factor.The computed impact amplification factors,for the sub-grade moduli used in this study,were in magnitude greater than 2,thus confirming the multiple-degree-of-freedom nature of the problem.

一种任意维Line-Sweep计算的数据划分算法

数据划分是在当前主流高性能计算平台上高效并行化应用程序的关键技术,它包括数据分割和处理机分配两个主要部分.Line-Sweep计算模式被众多科学工程计算核心采用,目前该计算模式的并行化主要采用多重数据划分.多重数据划分能保证各处理机的计算量、访存量和通讯量相等,但在某些情况下也会导致访存量和通讯量过多,因此无法保证性能最优.为解决这一缺陷,文中提出均衡数据划分,进一步放松对数据分割和处理器分配的非本质约束,以利于在计算、访存和通讯这3种开销之间达到最佳平衡.文中给出生成最佳均衡数据划分的算法,它包含3个关键技术:首先建立性能模型,在该模型中均衡数据划分的性能只与数据分割方式有关;接着基于该模型缩减数据分割方式的搜索空间,并以该模型为判据搜索性能最佳的数据分割方式;最后设计处理机分配函数以满足均衡数据划分的条件.均衡数据划分被应用于NPB并行测试包中的SP程序和高分子材料计算程序LineABC.实验结果表明,当均衡数据划分与多重数据划分的数据分割方式相同时,二者性能基本一致;当两种数据分割方式不同时(对于SP和LineABC,这种情况所占比例分别高达38.7%和37.9%),采用均衡数据划分的SP程序和LineABC程序的并行效率比多重数据划分平均分别高出44.45%和22.15%.

Dynamic response of cylindrical lined cavity in elastic medium

An analytical solution to the transient dynamic response of a cylindrical lining subjected to an internal loading was presented and the dynamic interaction between the lining and surrounding soil was considered. The lining structure and the soil were treated as a cylindrical elastic shell and an infinite elastic compressible medium, respectively. A two-dimensional axisymmetric wave equation was derived from the governing equation of displacement by introducing the potential functions. Shell equation of motion was established based on continuity conditions. The closed-form solution for dynamic response of the lining due to an impact loading was obtained in Laplace transforms and inverse transforms. Detailed parametric studies were also presented to illustrate the influences of the Poisson ratio of soil, the dynamic shear moduli of both soil and lining and the thickness of lining on dynamic response of the lining.

Snap Tension in Mooring Lines of Deepwater Platform

Based on the theory of impact dynamics, the motion equations for a mooring line-floating body system before and after impact loading are established with consideration of the viscoelastic property of mooring lines. The factors that influence the taut-slack conditions of a mooring system are analyzed through classifying the taut-slack regions, which are defined by non-dimensional ratios of displacement, frequency, and damping of the system. The mooring system of Jip spar platform is analyzed, and the snap tension characteristics of mooring lines are given. The factors that influence the maximum tension in mooring lines, including the mass of the floating body, length of mooring lines, frequency and amplitude of external excitation, and pretension in mooting lines, are also analyzed through computing the dynamic response of system and parametric study. It is shown that the maximum tension increases with the increasing mass of the floating body, external excitation and pretension. Also, it is found that the influence of the non-dimensional ratio of damping increases with the increase of the pretension in mooring lines.

Damage Identification in Simply Supported Bridge Based on Rotational-Angle Influence Lines Method

To locate and quantify local damage in a simply supported bridge, in this study, we derived a rotational-angle influence line equation of a simply supported beam model with local damage. Using the diagram multiplication method, we introduce an analytical formula for a novel damage-identification indicator, namely the diff erence of rotational-angle influence linescurvature(DRAIL-C). If the initial stiff ness of the simply supported beam is known, the analytical formula can be effectively used to determine the extent of damage under certain circumstances. We determined the effectiveness and anti-noise performance of this new damage-identification method using numerical examples of a simply supported beam, a simply supported hollow-slab bridge, and a simply supported truss bridge. The results show that the DRAIL-C is directly proportional to the moving concentrated load and inversely proportional to the distance between the bridge support and the concentrated load and the distance between the damaged truss girder and the angle measuring points. The DRAIL-C indicator is more sensitive to the damage in a steel-truss-bridge bottom chord than it is to the other elements.

Service Life Prediction of Lining Concrete of Subsea Tunnel under Combined Compressive Load and Carbonation

Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay subsea tunnel is the second self-built tunnel in China with the designed service life over 100 years.The durability of lining concrete are one of an important factors to determinate the service life of tunnel.Considering the main environmental loads and mechanical loads of subsea tunnel,the durability properties of lining concrete under combined action of compressive load and carbonation has been studied through the critical compressive load test,accelerated carbonation test,natural carbonation test and capillary suction test.The tests results show that critical compressive load apparently accelerates the carbonation and deteriorates the anti-permeability of concrete.Under the combined action of critical compressive load and carbonation,the durability of lining concrete decreases.Based on the carbonization life criteria and research results,for the high-performance concrete with proposed mix ratio,the predicted service life of lining concrete for Jiaozhou bay subsea tunnel is about 80 years which fails to reach the required service life.It is necessary to adopt other measurements simultaneously to improve the durability of lining concrete.
