The convexity about ultimate bearing hypersurfaces of structures

Chengxi GUO,Tingting GUO

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2016, Volume 10, Issue 4,   Pages 456-461 doi: 10.1007/s11709-016-0334-1

Abstract: The relationship between the convexity on the ultimate bearing surface of a structure and the second-order effects of loads is discussed. All of generalized non-overload forces acted on a structure forms a convex set when ignoring the second-order effects (coupling effects between the generalized forces). It is true also when the Hessian matrix composed of the second-order partial derivatives on the hypersurface about the ultimate bearing of the structure is negative definite. The outward convexity is kept when the surface is expressed by certain dimensionless parameters. A series of properties based on the convexity are pointed out. Some applications in the analysis of bearing capacity of structures were illustrated with examples. The study shows that an evaluation about the bearing capacity state of a complex structure can be made on the basis of several points on the surface of the ultimate bearing of the structure.

3D fracture modelling and limit state analysis of prestressed composite concrete pipes

Pengfei HE, Yang SHEN, Yun GU, Pangyong SHEN

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2019, Volume 13, Issue 1,   Pages 165-175 doi: 10.1007/s11709-018-0484-4

Abstract: In this manuscript, we study fracture of prestressed cylindrical concrete pipes. Such concrete pipes play a major role in tunneling and underground engineering. The structure is modelled fully in 3D using three-dimensional continuum elements for the concrete structure which beam elements are employed to model the reinforcement. This allows the method to capture important phenomena compared to a pure shell model of concrete. A continuous approach to fracture is chosen when concrete is subjected to compressive loading while a combined continuous-discrete fracture method is employed in tension. The model is validated through comparisons with experimental data.

Modeling limit force capacities of high force to volume lead extrusion dampers

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2021, Volume 15, Issue 3,   Pages 609-622 doi: 10.1007/s11709-021-0724-x

Abstract: Lead extrusion dampers are supplemental energy-dissipation devices that are used to mitigate seismic structural damage. Small volumetric sizes and high force capacities define high-force-to-volume (HF2V) devices, which can absorb significant response energy without sacrificial damage. However, the design of such devices for specific force capacities has proven difficult based on the complexities of their internal reaction mechanisms, leading to the adoption of empirical approaches. This study developed upper- and lower-bound force capacity estimates from analytical mechanics based on direct and indirect metal extrusion for guiding design. The derived equations are strictly functions of HF2V device geometric parameters, lead material properties, and extrusion mechanics. The upper-bound estimates from direct and indirect extrusion are denoted as (FUB,1, FUB,2) and (FUB,3, FUB,4), respectively, and the lower-bound estimates are denoted as (FLB, FLB,1) based on the combination of extrusion and friction forces. The proposed models were validated by comparing the predicted bounds to experimental force capacity data from 15 experimental HF2V device tests. The experimental device forces all lie above the lower-bound estimates (FLB, FLB,1) and below the upper-bound estimates (FUB,1, FUB,2, FUB,4). Overall, the (FLB, FUB,2) pair provides wider bounds and the (FLB,1, FUB,4/FUB,1) pair provides narrower bounds. The (FLB,1, FUB,1) pair has a mean lower-bound gap of 36%, meaning the lower bound was 74% of the actual device force on average. The mean upper-bound gap was 33%. The bulge area and cylinder diameter of HF2V devices are key parameters affecting device forces. These relatively tight bounds provide useful mechanics-based predictive design guides for ensuring that device forces are within the targeted design range after manufacturing.

Setting up a heart rate alarm limit to decrease oculocardiac reflex during strabismus surgery in children

ZHANG Kangkang, GU Enhua, LU Junjie

Frontiers of Medicine 2008, Volume 2, Issue 3,   Pages 295-297 doi: 10.1007/s11684-008-0056-4

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate a method which may decrease the incidence and severity of oculocardiac reflex (OCR) without drugs. One hundred and sixty children undergoing strabismus surgery were allocated to two groups using double-blind randomization. OCR was defined as a decrease of more than 10% from the baseline heart rate during operation. An alarm sounded and a lamp flashed as soon as OCR occurred in group I, and neither of the above happened in group II. OCR occurred (1.151 ± 0.858) times in group I and (2.287 ± 1.371) times in group II ( < 0.05). Heart rate decreased by (23 ± 19) bpm in group I and (35 ± 28) bpm in group II ( < 0.05). The duration of OCR in group I and group II was (4.36 ± 4.26)s and (7.62 ± 6.41)s, respectively ( < 0.05). The recovery time for group I and group II was (15.36 ± 13.28)s and (32.36 ± 19.57)s, respectively ( < 0.05). The numbers of times of interruption were 8 in group I (10%) and 26 in group II (32%) ( < 0.01). This method significantly decreased the incidence and severity of OCR during strabismus surgery in children.
