In this paper, serviceability control technology and its design theory are studied. First, a novel tuned mass damper (TMD) with controllable stiffness is developed. Second, methods for modeling human-induced loads are proposed, including standing up, walking, jumping and running, and an analysis method for long-span floor response is proposed based on a finite element model. Third, a design method for long-span floors installed with a multiple TMD (MTMD) system considering human comfort is introduced, largely based on a study of existing literature. Finally, a design, analysis and field test is conducted using several large scale buildings in China including the Beijing Olympic Park National Conference Center, Changsha New Railway Station and the Xi'an Northern Railway Station. The analytical and field test results show that the MTMD system designed using the proposed method is capable of effectively mitigating the vertical vibration of long-span floor structures. The study presented in this paper provides an important reference for the analysis of vibration serviceability of similar long-span floors and design of control system for these structures.展开更多

The effects of thermal loading on the pipe stability and local bifurcations have rarely been studied. The stability and the local bifurcations of the lateral parametric resonance of the pipe induced by the pulsating fluid velocity and the thermal loading are studied. A mathematical model for a simply supported pipe is developed according to the Hamilton principle. Two partial differential equations describing the lateral and longitudinal vibration are obtained. The singularity theory is utilized to anMyze the stability and the bifurcation of the system solutions. The transition sets and the bifurcation diagrams are obtained both in the unfolding parameter space and the physical parameter space, which can reveal the relationship between the thermal field parameter and the dynamic behaviors of the pipe. The frequency response and the relationship between the critical thermal rate and the pulsating fluid velocity are obtained. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of the single-mode expansion of the solution and the stability and local bifurcation analyses. It also confirms the existence of the chaos. The presented work can provide valuable information for the design of the pipeline and the controllers to prevent the structural instability.展开更多

A mathematical model for a simply supported pipe is developed according to Hamilton principle. The Galerkin method is adopted to discretize the partial differential equations to the ordinary differential equations. The method of multiple scales and the singularity theory are utilized to analyze the stability and bifurcation of the trivial and non-trivial solutions. The transition sets and bifurcation diagrams are obtained both in the unfolding parameter space and physical parameter space, which can reveal the relationship between the thermal field parameter and the dynamic behaviors of the pipe. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of the single-mode expansion of the solution and verify the stability and local bifurcation analyses. The critical thermal rates are obtained both by the numerical simulation and the local bifurcation analysis. The natural frequency of lateral vibration decreases as the mean fluid velocity or the thermal rate increases according to the numerical results. The present work can provide valuable information for the design of the pipeline and controllers to prevent structural instability.展开更多
