Using a two-dimensional (2D) metal sheet to design structures exhibiting different dynamic properties can show prolonged promising for actual engineering. In this study, a Miura tube is first designed and fabricated by using a five-step strategy. The structure is constructed by carefully stacking two identical brass Miura sheets into one tube. A finite element (FE) model with high-fidelity has been developed to predict the natural frequencies (NFs) of the Miura tube and simulation results have been compared with the data from experiments. The dynamic responses of the Miura tube are then numerically investigated by using the verified FE model. Finally, a multi-objective optimization strategy is developed to optimize the Miura tube in order to maximize the fundamental frequency and minimize the dynamic displacement simultaneously. Results show that the dynamic properties of the Miura tube, made from one same metal sheet, can be significantly altered in a wide range by simply changing its geometric parameters. Moreover, the proposed structure can be easily fabricated from a single thin sheet made of one material and simultaneously owns better mechanical properties than the Miura sheet.

Tongfei Sun, Ye Liu, Kaoshan Dai, Alfredo Camara, Yujie Lu, Lijie Wang

Summary: This paper presents a series of experimental and numerical studies on the performance of a novel double-stage coupling damper (DSCD). The effects of damper configuration, friction-yield ratio (Rfy), and loading protocol on the hysteresis performance of the DSCD are investigated. The test results demonstrate that the arrangement of ribs in the DSCD increases its energy dissipation capacity. Numerical analysis reveals that the length of the friction mechanism and the clearance between the yield segment and the restraining system affect the energy dissipation and stability of the damper.

Study on structural response of water-back plate under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads generated by cylindrical charge in deep-water environment

Teng Ma, Jinxiang Wang, Liangtao Liu, Heng Li, Kui Tang, Yangchen Gu, Yifan Zhang

Summary: The structural response of water-back plate under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads at water depths of 1-300 m was numerically investigated using an arbitrary Lagrange-Euler method. The accuracy of the numerical model was validated by comparing with experimental and theoretical results. The influences of water depth and length-to-diameter ratio of the charge on the combined damage effect were analyzed. The results show that as water depth increases, the plastic deformation energy of the water-back plate decreases, and the permanent deformation mode changes from convex to concave. When the charge has a large length-to-diameter ratio, the plastic deformation energy of the radial plate is higher than that of the axial plate, and the difference decreases with increasing water depth. Increasing the length-to-diameter ratio enhances the combined damage effect in the radial direction in deep-water environments.

Experimental and numerical investigation on cold-formed steel zed section beams with complex edge stiffeners

Qiu-Yun Li, Ben Young

Summary: This paper investigates the flexural performance of CFS zed section members bent about the neutral axis parallel to the flanges through experimental and numerical analysis. The results show that the current direct strength method generally provides conservative predictions for the flexural strength of unstiffened zed section members, but slightly unconservative design for edge-stiffened zed section beams. The nominal flexural strengths of zed section members with edge stiffeners were found to be underestimated by 17% to 21% on average. Modified DSM formulae are recommended for the design of CFS zed section beams.

Experimental study on Q355 steel T-stubs connected through high-strength ring groove rivets

Fei Gao, Zongyi Wang, Rui Zhu, Zhenming Chen, Quanxi Ye, Yaqi Duan, Yunlong Jia, Qin Zhang

Summary: This research investigates the mechanical properties of high-strength ring groove rivet assemblies and the load resistances of riveted T-stubs. Experimental tests reveal that Grade 10.9 rivets have higher yield strength and strain, and lower ultimate strain, making them suitable for high-strength ring groove rivet connections. Increasing the rivet diameter benefits the T-stubs, while increasing the flange thickness is not always advantageous. The Eurocode 3 method is not suitable for T-stubs connected through ring groove rivets, while the Demonceau method is conservative.
