Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of structural dynamics, specifically relating to a method for calculating the natural frequency and damping ratio of a system coupled with a human body and a structure. Background Technology

[0002] Previous studies have largely investigated the impact of crowds on the dynamic characteristics and vibration response of structures by establishing motion equations for coupled crowd-structure systems. However, this method is difficult to apply to practical engineering design due to the complexity of the equations, requiring the calculation of complex eigenvalues ​​of matrices to obtain the natural frequencies and damping ratios of the coupled system, or the use of time history analysis to solve high-degree-of-freedom motion equations. Regarding the influence of crowds on structural dynamic characteristics, while related studies have qualitatively indicated that the presence of crowds alters the dynamic characteristics of structures (e.g., increasing the damping ratio, decreasing or increasing the natural frequency), quantitative studies are lacking to describe the impact. This makes it impossible to directly obtain the damping ratio and natural frequency of a coupled system composed of a specific crowd and a specific structure, and thus, to provide key design parameters for the structure.

[0003] For example, in the patent application CN20181172441.4 entitled "A Method for Structural Vibration Response Analysis Based on Random Crowd Walking Model", both the patent and this patent treat pedestrians as a spring-mass-damper system to establish the motion equations of the coupled system and use matrix form to describe the interaction between the structure and the crowd. However, this patent predicts the vibration response of the structure under random crowd walking by dynamically simulating the pedestrian movement process and using time history analysis to iteratively solve the equations of the high-degree-of-freedom coupled system. Its calculation process is complex and computationally intensive, making it difficult to directly apply to the design of human-induced structural vibration.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for calculating the natural frequency and damping ratio of a crowd-structure coupled system, which is used to solve the problem that the existing technology has high computational complexity and is difficult to apply directly to engineering design. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above issues, this invention proposes a method for calculating the natural frequency and damping ratio of a pedestrian-structure coupled system. Each pedestrian on the structure is considered an individual spring-mass-damper system, and the structure is viewed as a multi-degree-of-freedom system. The motion equations and frequency response functions of the pedestrian-structure coupled system are derived, and the dynamic characteristics of the coupled system are simulated and parameterized. Finally, closed-form expressions for the natural frequency and damping ratio of the coupled system are proposed.

[0006] A method for calculating the natural frequency and damping ratio of a crowd-structure coupled system, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: Discretize the structure using the lumped mass method and consider only the vertical degree of freedom of the structure. Treat each pedestrian on the structure as a separate spring-mass-damper system, and use the center of mass of each pedestrian as the dynamic degree of freedom to construct a coupled system model of the pedestrian crowd-structure.

[0008] S2: Based on the definition of the influence coefficient method, the stiffness matrix, damping matrix and mass matrix of the coupled system model are derived respectively, and the motion equation of the pedestrian crowd-structure coupled system is expressed based on this.

[0009] According to the modal decomposition method, the displacements of the structure are expanded through its natural modes, and the matrix in the equation of motion is then derived accordingly. Transpose the matrix by left-multiplying the structure matrix;

[0010] The contact force between the pedestrian and the structure and the displacement of the crowd are decomposed, and the walking load is normalized by body weight. The decomposed equations are substituted into the equations of motion to further solve for the overall equations of motion of the coupled system model.

[0011] S3: The state-space method is used to transform the overall motion equations to obtain the frequency response function matrices corresponding to the input and output. The first row of the frequency response function matrix represents the frequency response function of the structural acceleration response. For general lightweight simply supported structures, the dynamic characteristics of the crowd-structure coupled system can be directly obtained from the frequency response function matrix. The natural frequencies of the coupled system model are then obtained. With damping ratio ;

[0012] S4: Fully traverse important variables such as structural mass, structural damping, structural stiffness, population size, population mass, human body damping, and human body stiffness;

[0013] For natural frequency Damping ratio Monte Carlo simulations were performed for each working condition to obtain the mean curves of the natural frequency and damping ratio changes from the Monte Carlo simulations. Based on these curves, the natural frequency and damping ratio were calculated separately to obtain their closed-form expressions.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0015] (1) Traditional methods require establishing high-order coupled motion equations and solving complex domain eigenvalue problems. The computational complexity increases exponentially with the increase of degrees of freedom. However, this invention transforms the natural frequency and damping ratio of the coupled system into closed expressions that depend only on key dimensionless variables such as mass ratio and normalized frequency through parametric modeling and Monte Carlo simulation. This simplifies the calculation process into explicit algebraic operations, eliminating the need for iterative solving of matrix eigenvalues, making the calculation more convenient.

[0016] (2) The closed expression proposed in this invention characterizes the frequency shift effect in the form of a piecewise function and describes the damping ratio gain in a linear relationship. Engineers can directly input the structural fundamental frequency, the proportion of mass of the population, and the statistical characteristic values ​​of human dynamic parameters to quickly obtain the dynamic characteristics of the coupled system.

It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, and not all of them.

[0030] Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for calculating the natural frequency and damping ratio of a crowd-structure coupled system is implemented in the following steps:

[0031] S1: The structure is discretized using the lumped mass method, and only the vertical degrees of freedom are considered. Each pedestrian on the structure is treated as a separate spring-mass-damper system, with the center of mass of each pedestrian as the dynamic degree of freedom.

Multiply the transpose of the structural matrix by left-hand side. Decompose the contact forces between the pedestrian and the structure, as well as the displacements of the crowd, and normalize the pedestrian load to body weight. Substitute the decomposed equations into the equations of motion to further solve for the equations of motion of the crowd-structure coupled system. Specifically, the equations of motion are expressed as:

This is a positioning matrix used to determine the location of pedestrians on a structure. Unlike fixed-point loads such as jumping loads, pedestrian loads have both temporal and spatial characteristics. The pedestrian position matrix... The location will change over time, and its position can be calculated by walking speed (see equation (5)). If the pedestrian group can form a stable pedestrian flow, it can be assumed that the pedestrian's position in the structure remains unchanged, and the positioning matrix will be used. It can be considered a constant. and These are represented as displacement vectors for the structure and the crowd, respectively.

[0052] In the formula, x self (t) represents the force exerted on the structure by the up-and-down movement of the human body, x inter (t) represents the force exerted by a pedestrian walking on a flexible structure due to structural vibrations and the fact that both the human body and the structure have mass, stiffness, and damping. and Related to structural vibration, and It is unrelated to structural vibration.

[0053] Will When acting on a rigid structural surface, the self-driving term of the crowd is solved using Newton's second law, yielding:

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] Assuming that the crowd will not change their walking pattern due to minor vibrations in the structure, the self-driving force of each pedestrian is equal to the ground reaction force generated when they move on a rigid surface:

[0057]

[0058] To eliminate differences caused by pedestrian weight, the load is normalized to the weight:

It also considers the coupled natural frequencies. and coupling damping ratio Monte Carlo simulations were performed for each operating condition to obtain the mean curves of the changes in the natural frequency and damping ratio of the coupled system. Based on these curves, the coupled natural frequency and coupled damping ratio were calculated separately, yielding their closed-form expressions. Specifically, the modal damping ratio of the structure... The natural frequency of the empty structure is calculated in increments of 0.01 to 0.04. Taking a frequency variation of 1~10 Hz with an interval of 0.01, the first-order mode shape can be taken as a half-sine type. Among them, the damping of the structure and stiffness It can be calculated using the following formula:

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] The relationship between changes in population size, population quality, and structural quality is transformed into a quality ratio. Changes, take The variation range is 0.01~0.30, with intervals of 0.01. Human body natural frequency. It follows a normal distribution N(3.25, 0.32). 2 [Hz]; The human body damping ratio follows a normal distribution N(0.30, 0.352) [-]. Damping and stiffness The calculation is consistent with equations (26) and (27).

[0082] To better study the relationship between the parameters, the following variables are introduced:

[0085]

[0086] In the formula, This represents the frequency change value. This represents the change in damping ratio. The ratio of the natural frequency of an empty structure to the mean natural frequency of the human body (hereinafter referred to as the normalized frequency).

[0087] Substituting the parameters mentioned above into equations (24) and (25), and considering that the crowd is evenly distributed on the pedestrian bridge, the coupling frequency is adjusted for each working condition. and coupling damping ratio Perform simulations, such as Figure 4 As shown, different mass ratios and empty structure fundamental frequency The trend of natural frequency variation in the lower coupled system.

[0088] The average value of the data under the four damping ratio conditions was used to calculate... The expression. The value in There are noticeable changes in the vicinity, so a piecewise function approach is used for calculation. Based on... The trend of the curve, such as Figure 5 As shown, the curve is divided into three parts at its minimum and maximum values. The calculation process consists of three steps:

[0089] The first step, due to different mass ratios Below The normalized frequencies corresponding to the minimum and maximum values Non-fixed values, the minimum value corresponding to and the maximum value corresponding The relationship between the mass ratio and the graph is plotted as follows: Figure 6 As shown, linear functions are used for calculation respectively:

[0090]

[0091]

[0092] The second step is to determine the maximum and minimum values ​​corresponding to different mass ratios. Plot the minimum and maximum values ​​corresponding to different mass ratios on a graph, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, for the minimum value The maximum value is calculated using a linear function. Calculations are performed using power functions:

[0095] The third step is to represent the curve segments of Part I and Part III using exponential functions, namely:

[0096]

[0097] In the formula, The decay exponent for the descending segment of the curve is calculated as follows: , Part II can be approximated as a straight line segment, and can be calculated by interpolation from the minimum and maximum values.

[0098] like Figure 8 The figure shows different mass ratios. and empty structure fundamental frequency The trend of damping ratio variation in the coupled system. The average value of data under four damping ratio conditions is used to calculate... The expression for the change in coupling damping ratio and the change in normalized frequency is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, The relationship between the maximum value and the mass ratio is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it changes approximately linearly. Combining this with the frequency response function formula, the following formula is used to calculate the change in damping ratio:

[0099]

[0100] In the formula, , , , The parameters were calculated with values ​​of 0.01, -0.494, 0.081, and 0.005, respectively, and a closed-form expression for the damping ratio of the coupled system was finally obtained.

[0101] Example 2: This invention patent employs a structural acceleration response spectrum model that considers the coupling effect between crowds and structures. By comparing the measured values ​​of the structural response with the predicted values ​​calculated using a closed-form expression based on pedestrian walking data from a steel pedestrian bridge at a civil engineering laboratory of a university in Denmark, the applicability and accuracy of the closed-form expression for the natural frequency and damping ratio of the crowd-structure coupled system proposed in this paper are verified.

[0102] In this embodiment, the pedestrian bridge has a span of 15 m and a width of 1.84 m. The main beams are made of two UNP350 channel steels, and the secondary beams are made of UNP200 channel steels. The main and secondary beams are connected by angle steel and bolts. To adjust the structural modal mass and make its fundamental frequency close to the walking frequency range of pedestrians, counterweight lead blocks are added to the secondary beams. The structural modal parameters are obtained by using a vibrator to excite the structure with a sinusoidal wave in the open span. The mode shape analysis results show that the fundamental frequency of the structure is 1.78 Hz, the first mode shape is half-sine, and the damping ratio can be determined to be 0.69% based on the free decay curve. The static load test at mid-span measured the stiffness of the structure under concentrated force to be approximately 507940 N / m, according to the formula... The calculated modal mass of the structure is 4060 kg.

[0103] In this embodiment, 12 participants were involved, with their average weight taken as W=700 N according to specifications. Since the first mode shape of the structure is approximately sinusoidal, the modal mass of the human body can be taken as half the total mass of the group. Under weak constraints, the mass ratio of the group to the structure is... Under weak constraints, the mass ratio of the crowd to the structure is such that the test subject walks on the bridge following the frequency of a metronome, proceeding in a straight line along one side, turning around at the bridgehead and returning along the other side, thus forming a stable density of crowd flow, such as... Figure 12 As shown. The metronome-guided step frequency conditions include six conditions: 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, and 120 bpm (60 bpm = 1 Hz). Each condition is repeated twice. The collected displacement data is differentiated twice to obtain the corresponding acceleration data, as shown. Figure 11 The figure shows the measured acceleration time history at the mid-span under the conditions of 96 and 108 bpm.

[0104] Since this structure is a lightweight pedestrian bridge, it is significantly affected by the coupling effect between the pedestrian and the structure. Therefore, the dynamic characteristics of the structure are calculated using closed-form expressions for the coupled system frequency and damping ratio. The calculation yields the frequency of the coupled system under weak constraints. Damping ratio is Normalized frequency The predicted structural response was obtained by using a structural acceleration response spectrum model that considers the crowd-structure coupling effect. Simultaneously, the structural response under weakly constrained conditions without considering the crowd-structure coupling effect was also calculated and compared with the measured maximum structural response. The results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown in the figure, it can be concluded that the predicted structural acceleration response calculated using the closed-form expression proposed in this patent, considering the crowd-structure coupling effect, is very close to the measured maximum acceleration value. Ignoring the influence of the coupling effect would lead to an overestimation of the predicted value. By comparing and analyzing the measured and predicted values ​​of the structural response, it can be concluded that the closed-form expression for the dynamic characteristics of the coupled system proposed in this patent can be well used for predicting human-induced structural vibration response.
