The oscillator is forced by a periodic discontinuous waveform and a viscous element is taken into account. The presented method avoids completely the Fourier series calculations of the input and output oscillator waveforms. In the proposed method, the steady-state response of fractionally damped oscillator is formulated directly in the time domain as a superposition of the zero-input and forced responses for each continuous piecewise segments of the forcing waveform, separately. The whole periodic response is reached by taking into account the continuity and periodicity conditions at instants of discontinuities of the excitation and then using the concatenation procedure for all segments. The method can be applied efficiently to discontinuous and continuous non-harmonic excitations equally well. Solutions are exact and there is no need to apply any of the widely up-to-date used frequency approaches. The Fourier series is completely cut out of the oscillator analysis.展开更多

The method reproduces the kinematic and inertial responses, using translational and rotational distributed Winkler springs and dashpots to simulate the soil-caisson interaction. Closed-form solutions are given in the frequency domain for vertical harmonic S-wave excitation. Comparison with results from finite element (FE) analysis and other available solutions demonstrates the reliability of the model. Results from parametric studies are given for the kinematic and inertial responses. The modification of the fundamental period and damping ratio of the bridge due to soil-structure interaction is graphically illustrated.展开更多

Using the equations of light and heat coefficient,light and heat index,latitude and temperature index,active accumulated temperature,effective accumulated temperature,aridity index,and arid-wet index,the red cartridge kiwifruit zoning index of Guizhou was analyzed and studied. The results showed that the zoning index system for the climatic characteristics of Guizhou mountainous area must be established in order to realize the variety regionalization of red cartridge kiwifruit in Guizhou mountainous area,and ten climatic factors were taken as climatic zoning indexes of red cartridge kiwifruit planting,including active accumulated temperature,effective accumulated temperature,annual average temperature,average temperature of July,light and heat coefficient,light and heat index,latitude and temperature index,frost free period,aridity index and arid-wet index. These indicators were giving a comprehensive evaluation for climate suitability conditions of red cartridge kiwifruit planting,and providing the scientific and reasonable basis for the promotion planting of red cartridge kiwifruit in mountain area of Guizhou.展开更多

In this paper, fundamental characteristics of reduction system for seismic response using this device were investigated by excitation experiment using artificial seismic waves. The peak acceleration amplitude on this system has decreased to about 50-90% over the input waves. Although a spectral peak around the frequency of 0.5Hz that is the natural period of this system was identified, the value of a spectral peak was decreased using bearings with the high friction force. This device is useful for reduction of seismic response.展开更多

The loads of wave and current exerted on the single-column will be greatly reduced, therefore the cost of the structure will be decreased. The advantages of the single-column structure compared with ordinary jacket structure are explained. A dynamic analysis of this type of structure is made and some problems related to dynamic analysis are solved. In order to check the reliability of computation theory and programme, model tests have been carried out. However, as space is limited, the conclusion of tests will be introduced in another paper. Therefore, this type of structure is applicable for proctical engineering.展开更多
