The test results on hourglass specimens of steel under repetitive sine loads provide graphs that indicate the stress range in terms of the number of cycles to failure and are known as S-N curves. Using this curve, it is determined that if the applied stress is less than a certain level, failure will not occur as the number of load cycles increases. The S-N curve can be affected by several factors such as yield stress, temperature, surface properties, and corrosion. In this research, the S-N curve has been investigated for two types of high-strength steels, S690 and S460, as well as two types of mild-strength steels, S235 and S355, at 25°C, and S355 with corrosion. The numbers of samples used for S235 and S460 steels were 45 each while S355 and S690 steels were 36 each and for S355 with corrosion was 15 with the high cycle fatigue curve obtained for them. To investigate the effect of plate thickness on the high cycle fatigue of the samples, four sets of 24-piece S235 steel samples, being 96 samples in total, were made of plates with different thicknesses of 8, 12, 15, and 20 mm and tested. Finally, a four-story three-span steel moment frame was designed, and under the Northridge earthquake record, the high cycle fatigue was investigated. It was observed that the high cycle fatigue was not effective for the mentioned structure under the Northridge earthquake record, but in the corroded structure, damage from high cycle fatigue occurs under this record.

This study aimed to examine the aseismic performance of the pile-raft systems with various connection forms. The related shaking table test and numerical simulation were performed for in-depth investigation. The acceleration response spectra on the top of the soil layer and raft were obtained and plotted for contrastive analysis based on the model test at a reduced scale of 1 : 30 and finite element numerical simulation. Accordingly, the working mechanisms of the pile-raft systems in conventional connections with the embedment of the compressible blocks and cushion layers under cyclic loading were explored. The results showed that the embedment of the cushion layer on the pile top could most significantly mobilize the potential of the foundation soil, effectively reduce the bending moment peak of the pile, and reduce the acceleration amplification effect on the top of the soil layer and raft. The embedment of the compressible block on the pile top most markedly reduced the bending moment peak of the pile and effectively mobilized the potential of the foundation soil, which was most favorable for lowering the amplification effect of acceleration on the top of the soil layer and raft.

The aim of this study is to investigate damage processes and fracture mechanisms in the rock surrounding a roadway under blasting-induced disturbance in a high-stress environment. A disturbance test involving blasting of the rock surrounding a roadway under different lateral pressure coefficients was conducted using high-precision acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. Based thereon, the spatiotemporal evolution and cluster characteristics of microcracks in the surrounding rock of the roadway under dynamic disturbance induced by explosive blasting were obtained, and stress transfer, adjustment, and redistribution in the rock mass were revealed. Moreover, a method for describing the progressive damage to the rock mass was established. The conclusions were as follows: the high-stress environment was conducive to microcrack initiation and propagation in the specimens, and the failure patterns of the surrounding rock of the roadway under different lateral pressure coefficients differed. The direction of crack propagation in the rock surrounding the roadway is opposite to that of the maximum principal stress applied to the rock mass. Blasting-induced disturbance intensifies crack initiation and accelerates damage accumulation and macrofracture formation in the rock mass. The macroscopic failure zone in a model is correlated with the ultimate distribution of apparent stress, and the apparent stress can reflect the adjustment of the stress field therein. The damage variable, characterized by the ratio of the number of AE events, can reveal the evolution of damage in the rock surrounding a roadway.

In order to study the effect of the freeze-thaw cycle on the integrity and dynamic mechanical performance of rubber concrete, the wave speed of rubber concrete specimens with 10% rubber volume was measured by a nonmetallic ultrasonic detector. The impact tests were also performed on rubber concrete specimens with different numbers of freeze-thaw cycles (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125) at different impact air pressures (0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 MPa) using a 74 mm diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device, peak stress, ultimate strain dynamic intensity enhancement factor (DIF), and energy absorption effect. The results show that with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles, the wave speed decreases, and the freeze-thaw action will damage the rubber concrete and reduce the longitudinal wave velocity. Under the same freeze-thaw cycles, with the rise of strain rate, the peak stress, limit strain, DIF, and absorbed energy increase, and there is an obvious strain rate effect; under the pressure of 0.6 MPa, the peak stress of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 freeze-thaw cycles decreases by 25.1%, 37.1%, 46%, 52.5%, and 54.8%. With the increase of the freeze-thaw cycles, the peak stress of the specimen decreases, and the decrease gradually decreases. After the number of cycles exceeds 100, the stress decrease of the specimen is no longer obvious, the limit strain increases, and the absorbed energy decreases. The freeze-thaw environment significantly reduces the strength and integrity of rubber concrete specimens.

Machining vibrations often occur when working with thin-walled workpieces. One effective method to mitigate these vibrations is by using a damper, which can enhance machining accuracy, surface finish, and tool life. However, traditional contact dampers have a drawback in that they require direct contact with the workpiece, leading to friction, wear, increased cutting forces, and reduced machining accuracy. In contrast, electromagnetic eddy current dampers are noncontact dampers that can effectively suppress machining vibrations without the need for physical contact. In this study, a method to suppress machining vibrations in thin-walled workpieces using electromagnetic eddy current dampers is proposed. By establishing a theoretical model for the electromagnetic damper, the damping force and equivalent damping of the damper are determined. Subsequently, the impact of electromagnetic dampers on frequency response functions and machining vibrations are investigated through hammer impact tests. The results indicate that increasing the surface damper voltage and reducing the air gap both enhance the equivalent damping of the electromagnetic eddy current damper. Moreover, cutting experiments are conducted to analyze the surface roughness of thin-walled workpieces with and without dampers. The results demonstrate that the eddy current damper can effectively increase the equivalent damping and provide the necessary damping force to suppress machining chatter. Overall, the proposed method utilizing electromagnetic eddy current dampers presents a promising solution for suppressing machining vibrations in thin-walled workpieces.

In wind turbine systems, bolted connections are frequently subjected to gravitational and centrifugal loads transmitted by the blades during operation. This can lead to the attenuation of bolt preloading, resulting in bolt loosening or uneven loading, which in turn affects the service life of the generator unit. Therefore, the study of bolt preloading variations is crucial. However, there are numerous factors influencing bolt preloading, and the existing techniques struggle to precisely assess bolt preloading. This paper proposed a bolt preloading evaluation technique based on the hammer modal method. Focusing on the 42CrMo4 bolted connection of a pitch bearing, a test platform for bolt preloading assessment is constructed. Hammer modal tests are conducted under various preloading forces. By combining finite element modal analysis, the correspondence between preloading changes and the bending frequencies and modes of the bolted connection is obtained. The research illustrated that with changes in bolt preloading, variations occur in coherence, phase, and natural frequencies of frequency response functions. The fundamental correlation between bolt preloading and the second-order bending frequency can be utilized to assess changes in preloading. Furthermore, the applicability of this method has been validated, offering a reference for evaluating bolt preloading.

Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a significant concern for vehicle users as it can negatively impact their health and comfort. As such, effective vibration isolation is critical in vehicle suspension design. The ability of a vehicle suspension to isolate vibrations depends primarily on the suspension design and the type of springs used. One type of spring that has proven advantageous for vibration isolation is the air spring. Air springs can vary frequencies and adjust their stiffness in response to different loading conditions, making them ideal for meeting both suspension load-carrying and occupants’ comfort requirements. Pneumatic (air) suspension has been in use in the automotive industry for several decades and has undergone significant advancements during this period. This paper presents a systematic review of pneumatic suspension since its inception. The review highlights different air spring modeling techniques, types of pneumatic suspension, and control methods. The study also discusses the functional flexibility of pneumatic suspension, its ability to offer a wide range of control options to drivers, and its broad application in almost all ranges of vehicles, including chassis, cabin, and seat suspension systems. In addition, this paper presents a summary of the pros and cons of pneumatic suspension and suggests future research directions. The advantages of pneumatic suspension include effective vibration isolation, improved ride comfort, and the ability to adjust suspension stiffness and ride height. On the other hand, the disadvantages include higher cost and complexity compared to other types of suspension. Overall, the findings of this review demonstrate that pneumatic suspension is a viable solution for vehicle suspension design, particularly in situations where vibration isolation and ride comfort are critical.

This study presents the design of an integrated floating breakwater-wind turbine device. The hydrodynamic performance was evaluated in a two-dimensional water tank under typical operating conditions to investigate its kinematic response and wave dissipation effect, while the original design was improved and optimized to enhance the overall performance of the integrated device. The improved integrated device had lower heave and sway motion amplitudes, better wave resistance, and better wave dissipation performance than the prototype. The improved integrated device can effectively reduce costs and optimize the allocation of resources by using a floating breakwater as a carrier for wind power generation and has broad application prospects.
