Three 1/10 scale testing models were designed with characteristics as follows： Model 1 possesses overall uniform stiffness and is expected to collapse in the strength failure mode as some members become plastic; Model 2 possesses six man-made weak parts located on six radial main rib zones and is expected to collapse in the dynamic in- stability mode with all members still in the elastic stage; Model 3 strengthens the six weak zones of Model 2, and therefore, its stiffness is uniform. Model 3 is proposed to collapse in the strength failure mode when the members are still in the elastic stage By increasing the peak ground accelerations of seismic waves gradually, the shaking table tests were carried out until all three models collapsed （or locally collapsed）. On the basis of form vulnerability theory, topological hierarchy models of the test models were established through a clustering process, and various failure scenarios, including overall collapse scenarios and partial collapse scenarios, were identified by unzipping corresponding hierarchical models. By comparison of the failure scenarios based on theoretical analysis and experiments, it was found that vulnerability theory could effectively reflect the weak- ness zones in topological relations of the structures from the perspective of internal causes. The intemal mechanisms of the distinct failure characteristics of reticulated shells subjected to seismic excitations were also revealed in this process. The well-formedness of structural clusters, Q, is closely related to the collapse modes, i.e., uniform changes of Q indicate a uniform distribution of overall structural stiffness, which indicates that strength failure is likely to happen; conversely, non-uniform changes of Q indicate that weak zones exist in the structure, and dynamic instability is likely to occur.展开更多

The shell side flow-induced vibration of the conical spiral tube bundle is experimentally investigated in this paper. The experi- ment table was built and the operational modes, the vibration parameters of the tube bundle were analyzed. The results show that, the operational mode frequencies of the conical spiral tube are decreased as the shell-side fluid flow velocity increases, especially for the first order frequency. Within the parameter range of this experiment, the real working frequency of the conical spiral tube is between the 1 st and the 2nd operational modes, and the free end vibration amplitude of the tube bundle increases greatly when the shell side fluid flow velocity exceeds a critical value.展开更多

An intrinsic mode characteristic extraction method in underwater cylindrical shell acoustic radiation was studied in this paper based on the mechanism of shell vibration to gain the information about its dimension instead of accurate inversion processing. The underwater cylindrical shell vibration and acoustic radiation were first analyzed using mode decomposition to solve the wave equation. The characteristic of acoustic radiation was studied with different cylindrical shell lengths, radii, thickness, excitation points and fine structures. Simulation results show that the intrinsic mode in acoustic radiation spectrum correlates closely with the geometry dimensions of cylindrical shells. Through multifaceted analysis, the strongest intrinsic mode characteristic extracted from underwater shell acoustic radiated signal was most likely relevant to the radiated source radius. Then, partial information about unknown source dimension could be gained from intrinsic mode characteristic in passive sonar applications for underwater target classification. Experimental data processing results verified the effectiveness of the method in this paper.展开更多
