The behavior of FPB was analyzed based on the stress characteristics of the slider of FPB. Then,a novel simplified FPB model with a single pendulum and a nonlinear spring was established. The mechanical behavior of the simplified model was analyzed and it conformed well to the basic requirements of FPB. Furthermore,shaking table tests of a concrete slab block structure isolated by four FPBs were carried out, followed by finite element simulations of the test using the proposed simplified model.Three waves and eleven loading scenarios were selected in the test. The results show that the overall trend of the relative displacement time-history curves,the horizontal acceleration time-history curves and the vertical acceleration time-history curves from the numerical simulation match in a good manner with those obtained from the tests. Specifically,it is found that the difference of the peak value within these curves between the simulation and test results is less than 15%,which means that the proposed simplified model can be used to simulate the FPB behaviors under dynamic loadings with acceptable accuracy for engineering purposes.展开更多

A simplified model of body-in-prime(BIP) can solve this difficulty by reducing the number of design variables. In this study, to achieve lighter weight and higher stiffness, the simplified model of BIP was developed and combined with an optimization procedure;consequently, optimal designs of automotive body B-pillar were produced. B-pillar was divided into four quarters and each quarter was modelled by one simplified beam. In the optimization procedure, depth, width, and thickness of the simplified beams were considered as the design variables.Weight, bending and torsional stiffness were also considered as objective functions. The optimization procedure is composed of six stages: designing the experiments, calculating grey relational grade, calculating signal-to noise ratio,finding an optimum design using Taguchi grey relational analysis, performing sensitivity analysis using analysis of variance(ANOVA) and performing non-dominated sorting and multi-criteria decision making. The results show that the width of lower B-pillar has the highest effect(about 55%) and the obtained optimum design point could reduce the weight of B-pillar by about 40% without reducing the BIP stiffness by more than 1.47%.展开更多

The generalized strip element is introduced and then the generalized stiffness matrices for beam and column line are derived by using the displacement functions that describe the nodal displacements and displacement transforms. Furthermore, the formulas for the generalized stiffness matrix of generalized strip element and load arrays corresponding to the displacement parameters were developed. It is shown through a series of numerical computation that the nodal angular displacements at the same floor in a generalized strip element are approximately identical. A comparison of the finite element method and the finite strip method shows that the simplified approach not only is accurate, but also reduces the number of basic unknown quantities.展开更多

In this approach, aryl/alkyl isocyanates react with o-phenylenediamine, o-aminophenol, o-aminothiophenol, catechols and anilines ortho-substituted by CH2NH2 and CONH2 to form, respectively, the corresponding benzimidazolones, benzoxazolones, benzothiazolones, benzodioxolones, 3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one, and quinazolinediones. These results represent the first example of lanthanide-catalyzed carbonylation. This methodology is also applicable for the preparation of various benzannulated 1,3-diheteroatom cyclic thioketones starting from aryl/alkyl isothiocyanates or CS2 in good to excellent yields. Based on the results of experiments performed using an o-aminobenzamido dianion lanthanide complex, a general mechanism, involving the tandem reaction of two lanthanide-ligand bonds with one heterocumulene molecule, is proposed as well.展开更多
