A RECTANGULAR ELEMENT OF THIN PLATES BASED UPON THE GENERALIZED VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES

Based on generalized variational principles, an element called MR-12 was constructed for the static and dynamic analysis of thin plates with orthogonal anisotropy. Numerical results showed that this incompatible element converges very rapidly and has good accuracy. It was demonstrated that generalized varialional principles arc useful and effective in founding incompatible clement.Moreover, element MR-12 is easy for implementation since it does not differ very much from the common rectangular element R-12 of thin plate.

High-Efficiency Generation of 0.12 mJ, 8.6 Fs Pulses at 400 nm Based on Spectral Broadening in Solid Thin Plates

We demonstrate eftlcient generation of continuous spectrum centered at 40Ohm from solid thin plates. By frequency doubling of 0.8m J, 3Ors Ti：sapphire laser pulses with a BBO crystal, 0.2m J, 33fs laser pulses at 400nm are generated. Focusing the 400-nm pulses into 7 thin fused silica plates, we obtain 0.15mJ continuous spectrum covering 350-450 nm. After compressing by 3 pairs of chirped mirrors, 0. 12 m J, 8.6 fs pulses are achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that sub-10-fs pulses centered at 400nm are generated by solid thin plates, which shows that spectral broadening in solid-state materials works not only at 800nm but also at different wavelengths.

Construction monitoring of lock head base plate using distributed optical fibre sensing technique

The concrete hydration heat release process of the base plate is monitored using Roman optical time domain reflectometry（ROTDR） sensing sensors. The monitoring data shows that the internal maximum temperature of the base plate is about 54 ℃ after the concrete was cured for 120 h. The fiber Bragg grating （FBG） temperature sensors are adopted to measure the surface temperature of the concrete and the temperature results are used to compensate the data measured by the pulse-prepump Brillouin optical time-domain analyzer （PPP-BOTDA） to obtain the real concrete surface strain of the base plate. The monitoring data is analyzed to obtain a clear understanding of the strain state of the base plate under the effect of concrete hydration heat release. The monitoring results demonstrate the potential of distributed optical fibre sensing techniques as a powerful tool in real-time construction monitoring, and also provide an important insight into the design, construction and maintenance of large hydraulic structures.

Calculus of the Railway Vertical Stiffness Depending on the Base Plate Stiffness and the Ballast for High Speed Railways

The study aims to determine a mathematical formula that correlates the vertical stiffness of the principal elements of a high speed railway. To do this, beginning on the traditional formulations, a new mathematical model has been proposed, and has been verified and confirmed with the real information of high speed railways. Finally, there has been obtained a simple expression that correlates simply the vertical stiffness of the railway with the vertical stiffness of the elements that compound it, essentially with the base plate and the ballast system set. On the other hand, also the accuracy of the model has been verified to select the stiffness of the base plate and the ballast system depending on one of this stiffness and the total vertical stiffness that it is wanted. With this simplified formula, it is possible to optimize the vertical stiffness of the railway to obtain the best behavior in each zone and to reduce the final cost of the use of the via, taking in consideration the energy needed to move the trains, the maintenance cost, the useful life, etc.. The process to optimize the railway stiffness in each point depends on the vertical stiffness of the ballast and the sub-ballast, and it is possible to use different plate bases with different stiffness to obtain the optimal stiffness that has been previously obtained with a cost and maintenance analysis.

Slide stability of hydraulic structures on subbed soil

The study on slide stability of hydraulic structures on subbed soil was made. Using the slide test results of dragged concreting base plates on subbed soil pits, the decreased value of bearing capacity on slide after re- bound and repression influence of subbed soil was determined, and the envelope of ultimate slide shear resistance was also quantitatively determined. Due to the lack of similar mechanisms of slide stability on subbed soil and base plate of hydraulic structures, different safety coefficients for the slide stability were adopted. It was suggested to use the maximum compressive stress O＇m~ of eccentric load to predict structure displacement, slide and creepy slippage of subbed soil, to determine the sliding creepy contour and limit the maximum load on subbed soil. Two hydraulic structures that had been put into operation were reviewed by this method, and the results accorded with the real conditions.

MEMS gyroscopes are widely used in the underwater vehicles owing to their excellent performance and affordable costs.However,the temperature sensitivity of the sensor seriously affects measurement accuracy.Therefore,it is significantly to accurately identify the temperature compensation model in this paper,the calibration parameters were first extracted by using the fast calibration algorithm based on the Persistent Excitation Signal Criterion,and then,MEMS gyro temperature compensation model was established by utilizing the thin plate spline interpolation method,and the corresponding identification results were compared with the results from the polynomial fitting method.The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been validated through the comparative experiment.

Study on the influence of base plate deformation on long undulators

Background Nineteen undulators of various types are being fabricated for high-energy photon source(HEPS).In order to ensure the optical performance of the undulators,the girder deformation is usually carefully optimized during the structural design stage.Purpose Optimization of magnet girder deformation is one of the key points to ensure undulator magneticfield performance.To reduce magnet girder deformation,base plate,feet and strong back should be designed carefully.In the HEPS undulator design and manufacturing stage,it is found that under special circumstances,such as after the height of the feet is adjusted,or after the undulator is lifted to other place,the base plate and girder may deform more than expected.Methods Therefore based on ANSYS simulation and experimental test results,the factors causing the deformation of the girders are carefully analyzed.Base plate and feet were optimized for different types of undulators to avoid girder deformation.Related simulation and laser tracker measurement were performed tofind out the reason in this paper.Results and conclusion Results show that the base plate of C-frame undulators will collapse and deform under the action of magnetic force.Asymmetric sagged base plate is the main reason of girder deformation.Increasing the thickness of the base plate and increasing the number of feet can both reduce that deformation.Optimization of magnet girder deformation is one of the key points to ensure undulator magneticfield performance.To reduce magnet girder deformation,base plate,feet and strong back should be designed carefully.
