Parametric Study on the Effects of Pile Inclination Angle on the Response of Batter Piles in Offshore Jacket Platforms

Offshore jacket-type platforms are attached to the seabed by long batter piles. In this paper, results from a finite element analysis, verified against experimental data, are used to study the effect of the pile＇s inclination angle, and its interaction with the geometrical properties of the pile and the geotechnical characteristics of the surrounding soil on the behavior of the inclined piles supporting the jacket platforms. Results show that the inclination angle is one of the main parameters affecting the behavior of an offshore pile. We investigated the effect of the inclination angle on the maximum von Mises stress, maximum von Mises elastic strain, maximum displacement vector sum, maximum displacement in the horizontal direction, and maximum displacement in the vertical direction. Results indicate that the pile＇s operationally optimal degree of inclination is approximately 5°. By exceeding this value, the instability in the surrounding soil under applied loads grows extensively in all the geotechnical properties considered. Cohesive soils tend to display poorer results compared to grained soils.

Analysis the First Arrival of P-Wave of Ina-TEWS and CTBT Stations to Support Earthquake Early Warning

The authors make the analysis of first arrivals of the P-wave from Ina-TEWS （Indonesian tsunami early warning system） and CTBT （comprehensive nuclear-test-band treaty） stations. These are used for earthquake early warning, magnitude determination and potential earthquake hazard mitigation based on seismogram acceleration. This research is focused on the study of energy duration of high frequency, and the maximum displacement of P-waves by observing broadband seismograms. The further analysis consists of deconvolution, integration or defferentiation, recursive filtering for data restitution, and applying a Butterworth filter of second order. The Butterworth filter uses high frequency 0.075 Hz to cut the effect of drift, and band-pass frequency 2-4 Hz for use in magnitude calculation. The authors choose potentially damaging earthquakes to be greater than Mw 〉 6.0. Based on the trigger on the three seconds the first arrival P-wave, the dominant period （Td） and amplitude displacement （Pd） was calculated by using data CISI （Indonesian CI Sompet） seismological station, Garut （west Java） and tested for data CTBT, LEM bang, Bandung （LEM station）. This research resulted determination of the P-wave arrival time accurately using integrated skewness and kurtosis. Performance data from the CTBT stations is very high. Signal to noise ratio 〉1,000 after passing through the filter. Such riset conducted to find out a rapid magnitude estimations from predominant frequency of displacement are： log Td = 0.2406 M- 1.3665 （R = 0.73） or M = 4.156 log Td ＋ 5.6797. Relationship of Pd, magnitude moment, Mw and hypocentre, R are log Pd = -4.684 ＋ 0.815 Mw - 1.36 log R. For relation of PGA （peak ground acceleration） and amplitude displacement are log PGA = 1.117 log Pd ＋ 0.728 （R = 0.91）. Furthermore, this formula can be used to support earthquake early warning in west of Java.

Seismic Performance of Dry-Friction Devices in Shear-Frame Buildings

In recent years the application of friction-based passive energy dissipation devices have been proven very effective in reducing structural response to earthquake excitations and also implemented for a large number of buildings. Their design heavily relies on numerical simulations to model the influence of the energy dissipation devices. The modeling of friction forces must be accurate for realistic simulation of the influence of these devices. In state-of-the-practice, the hysteretic behavior of friction devices has been typically modeled with Coulomb friction having a constant coefficient of friction. However, the basic laws for typical sliding materials and experimental investigations show non-linear relationship between friction and sliding velocity, which includes stiction and Stribeck effect. The influence of stiction and Stribeck effect may be significant and can not be ignored in simulating the dynamic responses of structures with friction-based energy dissipation devices. In this paper the optimal performance of dry friction device in shear-frame buildings when subjected to earthquake ground motions has been investigated. The focus of this paper is on the optimal minimization of response of the shear-frame building. Since buildings with friction devices behave in a highly nonlinear manner, nonlinear response-history analysis considering comprehensive sliding friction models has been carried out. The performance has also been evaluated using the various response measures： the maximum absolute acceleration, the maximum base shear, and the maximum inter-story drift. Different performance indices have been used to quantify the influence of the device properties.

Analysis of nonlinear dynamic character in the surrounding rock system for deep buried underground engineering

Combining the field monitoring results of a deep-buried tunnel in Chongqing,the dynamic characteristics of the surrounding rock system under high in situ stress wasanalyzed by phase space reconstruction, calculating correlation dimension, Kolmogoroventropy and largest Lyapunov exponents.Both the Kolmogorov entropy and largestLyapunov exponents show that the surrounding rock system is a chaotic one.Based onthis, a local model was applied to predict surrounding rock displacement, and a nonlineardynamic model was derived to forecast the interaction of the surrounding rock and supportstructure.The local method was found to have an extremely small total error.Also, thenonlinear dynamic model forecasting curves agree with the monitoring ones very well.It isproved that the nonlinear dynamic characteristic study is very important in analyzing rockstability and predicting the evolution of rock systems.

The Dynamics and Evolution of Poles and Rogue Waves for Nonlinear Schrdinger Equations

Rogue waves are unexpectedly large deviations from equilibrium or otherwise calm positions in physical systems, e.g. hydrodynamic waves and optical beam intensities. The profiles and points of maximum displacements of these rogue waves are correlated with the movement of poles of the exact solutions extended to the complex plane through analytic continuation. Such links are shown to be surprisingly precise for the first order rogue wave of the nonlinear Schr¨odinger(NLS) and the derivative NLS equations. A computational study on the second order rogue waves of the NLS equation also displays remarkable agreements.
