Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of seismic performance analysis, and in particular to a method, system, equipment, medium, and product for seismic performance analysis of self-resetting frame structures. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of prefabricated and high-performance concrete technologies, self-resetting frame structures, utilizing the synergistic effect of prestressed restraint and energy-dissipating components, can recover their original state after an earthquake, significantly reducing residual deformation, thus becoming an important direction in seismic design. Existing seismic analysis of reinforced concrete frames is mainly based on the finite element method (FEM). This method relies on the global stiffness matrix and iteratively solving equilibrium equations. However, when faced with complex discontinuous behaviors such as node opening and closing, nonlinear slippage of prestressed tendons, and buckling of angle steel, it often encounters problems such as computational instability, convergence difficulties, and energy imbalance.
[0003] Traditional finite element analysis methods require the establishment of complex nonlinear contact mechanisms and iterative processes, resulting in low computational efficiency and difficulty in accurately describing node opening and closing and angular recovery behavior. Existing vector mechanics research mostly focuses on general reinforced concrete components or structures, and current research has not yet combined this principle with self-setting frame systems, failing to form a unified dynamic solution and performance evaluation system. There is still a lack of systematic modeling, dynamic solution, and seismic performance evaluation methods for self-setting frame structures.
[0004] Furthermore, traditional analyses often require the introduction of artificial constraints, stiffness reconstruction, or complex contact algorithms to describe node opening, closing, and reset behaviors, which not only incurs high computational costs but also makes it difficult to maintain energy conservation in explicit integral systems. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a full-process dynamic analysis and performance evaluation scheme based on vector mechanics for self-resetting systems that combines theoretical simplification with computational efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0015] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0016] In one exemplary embodiment, this application provides a method for analyzing the seismic performance of a self-resetting frame structure. This method is executed by a computer device, specifically a terminal or server, or both. In this embodiment, the method is described using a server as an example. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 100: Obtain the self-resetting frame structure data. The self-resetting frame structure data includes geometric dimensions, material parameters, component types, loads, and boundary conditions.
[0017] Step 101: Based on the principles of vector mechanics and combined with the data of the self-resetting frame structure, establish the geometric and kinematic model of the self-resetting frame structure under a unified dynamic equilibrium system.
[0018] Step 102: Set up a compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism and a coupling mechanism based on the relative rotation angle of the nodes at the nodes of the geometric and kinematic model. Simulate the opening, closing, and self-resetting behavior of the nodes based on the compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism and the coupling mechanism based on the relative rotation angle of the nodes to obtain the nonlinear characteristics of the materials and components in the geometric and kinematic model. Among them, the resultant force expression of the nodes is established based on the force balance relationship of the nodes, and the internal force terms of the nodes are calculated by constitutive / restoring force / contact constraint corresponding to the nonlinear characteristics.
[0019] Step 103: Establish dynamic equations based on the nodal force balance equations.
[0020] Step 104: Obtain the nonlinear property library. The nonlinear property library stores material constitutive relations, restoring force models, and corresponding nonlinear characteristics.
[0021] Step 105: Based on the nonlinear characteristics of materials and components, call the corresponding material constitutive relations and restoring force models to achieve a unified solution of nonlinear response description and dynamic equations at the nodal level, and obtain dynamic response data.
[0022] Step 106: Based on dynamic response data, a multi-parameter seismic performance index system is established to achieve quantitative seismic performance analysis of the self-resetting frame structure.
[0023] By implementing steps 100-106 provided above, this application can efficiently solve the nonlinear seismic response of complex structures under the condition of energy conservation. It has the advantages of stable calculation, high accuracy and high efficiency, and can be widely used in the seismic response simulation and seismic performance evaluation of prefabricated prestressed self-resetting frame structures.
[0024] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, in order to achieve the mechanical continuity and geometric coordination of the overall structure and improve the accuracy and versatility of the model establishment, the implementation process of step 101 of this application can be described as follows: A geometric and kinematic model of the self-resetting frame structure is established under a unified vector dynamic equilibrium system. The beam, column, and node regions are discretized into multi-directional coupled component sub-units. Each unit maintains geometric compatibility and force vector transmission through dynamically updated local representations and global coordinate transformations, thereby achieving overall and local dynamic coordination. Based on this, in practical applications, the multi-directional coupled component sub-unit consists of a main unit describing the beam-column bending-shear interaction and a local coupled unit for node angular coordination. The main unit reflects the coupled deformation characteristics of the beam and column components under the combined action of bending and shear, while the local coupled unit is used to correct the node angular discontinuity, achieving coordination between node deformation and force. Through the parallel combination of these two types of sub-units, the true force path and mechanical response of the beam-column nodes in the self-resetting frame can be fully reflected.
[0025] During the modeling process, each element (i.e., the main element and locally coupled elements) defines axial, shear, and rotational degrees of freedom in its local coordinate system, and maintains geometric compatibility and force transmission consistency through a dynamically updated local-global coordinate transformation. The local-global coordinate transformation employs a rotation matrix description based on vector balance relationships, ensuring that the structure (i.e., the overall self-resetting reinforced concrete frame model obtained by discretizing multi-directional coupled components, i.e., the geometric and kinematic model) maintains geometric compatibility and force coordination between local elements and the overall model under conditions of large deformation, contact opening and closing, and material nonlinearity, thereby preserving the global and local dynamic coordination relationship. The dynamically updated local-global coordinate transformation refers to calculating the current direction vector of the element based on the latest node position at each time step and forming a dynamically updated rotation matrix. This matrix transforms the force vectors corresponding to the axial, shear, and rotational degrees of freedom in the element's local coordinate system to the global coordinate system. Through this dynamically updated mechanism, the elements maintain the correct force transmission direction and geometric coordination with the overall structure under large deformation conditions.
[0026] The local coordinate system of the main element has the origin at the starting node of the element, the local x-axis in the direction pointing to the ending node of the element, and the local y-axis in the direction perpendicular to the x-axis; the coordinate system of the locally coupled element has the origin at the main node, the local x-axis in the vector pointing to the slave node, and the local y-axis in the vector orthogonal to that direction.
[0027] Based on the above description, this application can automatically generate the node and element information of the structure according to the input geometric dimensions, material parameters, component types, and boundary conditions, and establish the corresponding dynamic equilibrium equations, providing a unified data interface for subsequent solutions and performance evaluation. Through this modeling mechanism, parametric modeling and modular information transfer of self-resetting frame structures can be realized, improving the accuracy and versatility of model establishment.
[0028] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, to ensure the continuity of the algorithm and the stability of the calculation, step 102 above can be described as follows: For the opening and closing characteristics and restoring force behavior of the self-resetting frame beam-column joint under seismic loading, a compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism is set at the joint. When the contact interface is under compression, a constraint reaction force is generated; when under tension, no reaction force is generated, which describes the opening and closing behavior of the joint. When the interface closes again, the compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism and the prestressed member work together to form a restoring force, realizing the self-resetting function of the joint. This compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism realizes the entire dynamic response of the joint from cracking to closure and then to restoration through the unidirectionality of the force direction.
[0029] In practical applications, the compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism can be composed of contact springs and constraint logic. When the node interface is under compression, the contact spring is activated and generates constraint reaction force. When the interface is under tension, the spring fails and releases the contact constraint, causing the node to separate. This unidirectional force characteristic can effectively describe the nonlinear contact behavior of the node as it transitions from a compressed state to an open state during seismic loading. When the node closes again, the constraint mechanism works in conjunction with the prestressed members. Through the combined action of the restoring tension of the prestressed tendons and the node constraint reaction force, a self-restoring force is formed, thereby achieving automatic recentering of the structure after unloading. This process does not require additional stiffness matrix reconstruction and directly participates in the solution of the vector dynamic equilibrium equations in the form of force vectors, ensuring the continuity of the algorithm and the stability of the calculation.
[0030] Furthermore, to accurately reflect the nonlinear behavior of nodes and components, the nonlinear characteristic library pre-stores constitutive relations and restoring force models for materials such as angle steel, concrete, and prestressed tendons, and provides corresponding nonlinear characteristics. During the calculation process, the corresponding models stored in the nonlinear characteristic library are automatically called based on the nonlinear characteristics of the materials and components of the self-resetting frame structure, realizing a unified solution for the nonlinear response description at the node level and the global dynamic equations. Based on this operation, constraint reactions are generated when the node contact surface is under compression, but no reaction force is generated when it is under tension, forming a unidirectional force mechanism. This ensures that the geometric and kinematic models can realistically reproduce the opening and closing characteristics and self-resetting effect of the self-resetting frame nodes, providing nonlinear boundary condition inputs for subsequent explicit integration solutions.
[0031] The nonlinear characteristics are obtained by determining whether the material or component has entered the nonlinear region based on the current strain state and the nodal opening amount. When the local strain exceeds the elastic limit or the nodal state meets the cracking condition, the nonlinear constitutive model of concrete, steel bar, angle steel energy dissipation section or prestressed tendon is automatically called from the nonlinear characteristic library, thereby realizing the update of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship.
[0032] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the implementation process of steps 103-105 can be described as follows: based on the principle of vector mechanics, a dynamic equation is established based on the nodal force balance equation, an explicit time integration method is used to promote the motion of the system, and energy conservation and numerical stability are achieved through the coordinated updating of kinetic energy and internal force work.
[0033] In practical applications, according to Newton's second law, each node satisfies the dynamic equilibrium relationship between force and acceleration, that is, the net force on a node is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration, thus forming a dynamic equilibrium system for the entire structure, yielding the following dynamic equations:
[0034] In the formula, MThe node mass matrix can be calculated from the component length, material density, and cross-sectional area based on the data obtained in step 100. For the nodal acceleration vector, and These are the external force and internal force vectors, respectively. The external force vector includes the equivalent nodal inertial force generated by the earthquake input, the upper load, and gravity, which are derived from the input ground motion and load information. The internal force vector is obtained from the element axial force, element shear force, nonlinear force caused by material constitutive properties, nodal opening and closing contact spring force, restoring force (prestress + closing constraint), etc., and is obtained based on the simulation process in step 102 above.
[0035] The above-mentioned dynamic equilibrium system is directly expressed using nodal force vectors, without relying on the overall stiffness matrix, and has the characteristics of flexible modeling and stable calculation.
[0036] In the specific solution process, the explicit time integration method shown in the following formula (2) is used to advance the dynamic equation over time.
[0037] In the formula, For t+ The nodal displacement vector at time t. Let be the nodal displacement vector at time t. Let be the nodal velocity vector at time t. Let be the nodal acceleration vector at time t. For time step.
[0038] Using nodal velocities and displacements as the main state variables, the acceleration, velocity, and displacement of the nodes are updated progressively at each time step according to the nodal force balance equations. During the integration process, a collaborative update mechanism of kinetic energy and internal work is used to achieve dynamic solution under energy balance conditions, enabling the system to maintain energy conservation and numerical stability during nonlinear loading and large deformation.
[0039] The collaborative update mechanism for kinetic energy and internal work refers to simultaneously calculating the changes in nodal kinetic energy and component internal work at each time step of the explicit integration. The nodal acceleration is then corrected using the energy conservation relationship between the two, satisfying approximate energy conservation and thus avoiding the stiffness reorganization and convergence difficulties encountered in traditional implicit iterative methods. This mechanism eliminates the need for global matrix inversion, significantly improving computational efficiency while maintaining the continuity of the solution process.
[0040] During time integration, the time step The system automatically adjusts based on stability conditions to meet the stability criteria of explicit integration. The explicit time integration method updates nodal velocities and displacements at each time step based on the nodal force balance, achieving stable energy transfer and approximate conservation through the coordination of kinetic energy and internal work. By controlling the time step size and energy balance error, stable solutions can be achieved in the strongly nonlinear and high-frequency response stages, ensuring the accuracy of the analysis results and energy conservation. After completing each integration step, the solution unit outputs dynamic data such as nodal displacements, velocities, accelerations, and component energy responses, providing a data foundation for subsequent performance index extraction and seismic performance assessment.
[0041] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, to improve the accuracy of the quantitative seismic performance assessment of self-setting frame structures, the implementation process of step 106 described above can be described as follows: using the response data such as nodal displacement, velocity, and energy response obtained in step 105 as input, a multi-parameter seismic performance index system is established to achieve a quantitative seismic performance assessment of the self-setting frame structure. The performance assessment includes statistically analyzing the dynamic response results of inter-story displacement and top-floor displacement to obtain the calculation and classification of performance indicators such as residual displacement rate, energy dissipation ratio, and coefficient of restitution, which are used to assess the structure's seismic recovery and energy dissipation capacity.
[0042] In practical applications, the multi-parameter seismic performance index system includes three core indices (i.e., performance indicators): residual displacement ratio, energy dissipation ratio, and coefficient of restitution. The residual displacement ratio characterizes the structure's ability to recover its original shape after an earthquake. The coefficient of restitution reflects the centering effect of self-centering components during the unloading phase. The energy dissipation ratio measures the system's energy dissipation efficiency during seismic energy input. Through comprehensive calculation of these performance indicators, the seismic performance of the structure can be fully reflected from both deformation recovery and energy dissipation perspectives.
[0043] The performance indicators are calculated based on the dynamic response data (i.e., time history response data) obtained above. The residual displacement ratio is obtained by the ratio of the maximum inter-story displacement during the entire seismic loading process to the residual displacement after unloading. The coefficient of restitution is determined based on the inverse relationship between residual deformation and maximum deformation. The energy dissipation ratio is calculated by the ratio of cumulative energy dissipation to seismic input energy. Based on this, this application can quickly extract key performance parameters based on the time history analysis results, realizing a direct mapping from dynamic response to performance evaluation. The seismic input energy refers to the work done by the input ground motion during structural analysis; its value is automatically calculated based on the time history of the input seismic acceleration, not manually set. This energy is obtained by calculating the cumulative work of the external force and displacement increment, and is used to evaluate the energy dissipation ratio.
[0044] During the assessment phase, a seismic performance grading standard was established based on the three core indicators mentioned above, classifying structural performance into four levels: Operational (OP), Habitable (IO), Life-Safe (LS), and Near Collapse (CP). Different levels correspond to different residual displacement rates, energy dissipation ratios, and coefficient of restitution threshold ranges, enabling multi-level performance identification of structures under different earthquake magnitudes. This grading system provides a quantitative basis for the performance-based design of self-setting frame structures under different seismic loads.
[0045] After calculating the performance indicators, hysteresis curves and energy dissipation curves can be generated. Based on these performance indicator results, the system automatically outputs the structure's performance level, indicator reports, and graphical visualizations, forming an intuitive seismic performance evaluation interface. This process achieves a seamless conversion from numerical analysis results to engineering judgment indicators, significantly improving the engineering applicability and intelligence level of seismic performance analysis for self-setting structures.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, to demonstrate that this application can accurately capture the hysteretic characteristics and residual deformation patterns of self-resetting frame structures under strong earthquakes, and that the numerical results are consistent with experimental observations, proving the correctness and engineering applicability of the solution provided in this application, a three-story, two-span self-resetting reinforced concrete frame structure (hereinafter referred to as the frame) is used as an example. The seismic performance analysis method for self-resetting frame structures proposed in this application is used for numerical simulation. The total height of the test structure is 2.73m, with each story having a height of 0.99m, 0.81m, and 0.81m, a span of 4.4m, frame beam cross-section dimensions of 80mm × 130mm, and column cross-section dimensions of 120mm × 120mm. The beam-column joints in the frame adopt a self-resetting connection form: two unbonded prestressed tendons are set within the joint, which, together with the yield section of the angle steel, constitute a recoverable energy-dissipating joint. Each floor of the frame is divided by the inflection point, consisting of two T-shaped joints and one cross-shaped joint. The concrete strength grade is C80, the steel reinforcement type is HRB400, and the yield stress of the prestressed tendons is 1860MPa.
[0047] During the modeling phase, the structure is discretized under a unified vector-based dynamic equilibrium system. Beams, columns, and node regions are divided into finite mass points, which are connected by multi-directional coupled component sub-units, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5In the attached diagram, 1 represents a beam member, 2 represents a column member, 3 represents a compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism, 4 represents a coupling mechanism based on the relative rotation angle of nodes, 5 represents prestressed tendons, 6 represents the force equilibrium point of the master node, and 7 represents the force equilibrium point of the slave node. Each element automatically adjusts its orientation at each time step through a dynamically updated local-global coordinate transformation, achieving geometric compatibility and force vector transfer between nodes. Five integration points are arranged along the axis of the beam and column members, and the cross-section is divided into 20 fiber zones, distinguishing between core and non-core concrete. A compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism is set in the node region to describe the opening and closing behavior, and a coupling mechanism based on the relative rotation angle of nodes is set to reflect the recovery and energy dissipation characteristics to simulate self-resetting behavior.
[0048] Simulations of nodes and frames were performed using quasi-static loading inputs and dynamic load inputs, respectively, as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Static loading was applied in stages at 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% of the inter-story drift angle. The results showed clear node opening and closing, minimal residual displacement, and a "flag-shaped" hysteresis curve, demonstrating significant self-resetting capability. The correlation coefficient of the hysteresis curve was 0.982 compared to the experimental results, with an error of ±5.18%~8.80%. For dynamic input, the Iwate seismic wave was selected as the external excitation signal, with a peak acceleration of 0.84g, a time duration of 25s, and an integration step size of 1×10⁻⁶. -4 During the explicit time integration process, the system directly updates velocity and displacement based on the nodal force equilibrium equations. After solving, the system outputs the top-floor displacement, inter-story drift angle, and nodal opening changes. Simulation results show that the top-floor displacement error is less than 4.0%, the inter-story drift angle error is less than 9%, and the opening rotation value is less than 0.2%. The top-floor displacement-base shear curve shows a large energy dissipation curve envelope, verifying the reliability of the proposed method in simulating nodal nonlinearity and overall dynamic response. Calculation results are as follows: Figures 6-8 As shown. Compared with traditional finite element iterative methods, the method provided in this application does not require matrix rearrangement or nonlinear iteration throughout the calculation process. The explicit integration process is stable and has good convergence, efficiently obtaining the dynamic response results of the structure. Comparison with experimental results verifies the accuracy and engineering applicability of the method in this application.

Figure 6 Part (c) is a schematic diagram of the displacement of the third layer. VFIFE indicates that this application is based on vector finite element method of vector mechanics, that is, it represents the calculation result obtained by using the method of this application.
[0049] In summary, this application can accurately capture the hysteretic characteristics and residual deformation patterns of self-resetting frame structures under strong earthquakes. The numerical results are consistent with experimental observations, proving the correctness and engineering applicability of the method provided in this application.
[0050] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a seismic performance analysis system for a self-resetting frame structure to implement the above-mentioned seismic performance analysis method for self-resetting frame structures. The solution provided by this system is similar to the solution described in the above method. Therefore, the specific limitations of one or more embodiments of the seismic performance analysis system for self-resetting frame structures provided below can be found in the limitations of the seismic performance analysis method for self-resetting frame structures described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0051] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a seismic performance analysis system for self-resetting frame structures is provided, comprising a storage unit and sequentially connected parameter input interfaces, modeling units, solution units, response analysis units, and visualization and evaluation units. The storage unit is connected to both the solution unit and the visualization and evaluation unit. The storage unit stores a nonlinear characteristic library. There are clear input-output relationships between the system units: the modeling unit outputs node and unit data; the solution unit executes an explicit time integration method based on vector dynamic equations, outputting displacement, velocity, and energy responses; the nonlinear characteristic library provides material constitutive and constraint parameters; the response analysis unit outputs hysteresis and energy dissipation curves and performance indices; and the visualization and evaluation unit generates performance levels and graphical results.
[0052] Specifically, the modeling unit performs the following operations: acquiring self-resetting frame structure data; and establishing a geometric and kinematic model of the self-resetting frame structure under a unified dynamic equilibrium system based on vector mechanics principles and the self-resetting frame structure data.
[0053] The operations performed by the solver include: setting up a compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism and a coupling mechanism based on the relative rotation angle of nodes at the nodes of the geometric and kinematic models; simulating node opening, closing, and self-resetting behavior based on the compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism and the coupling mechanism based on the relative rotation angle of nodes to obtain the nonlinear characteristics of materials and components in the geometric and kinematic models; establishing dynamic equations based on the nodal force equilibrium equations; and acquiring a nonlinear characteristic library. This library stores material constitutive relations and restoring force models, along with corresponding nonlinear characteristics. Based on the nonlinear characteristics of materials and components, the corresponding material constitutive relations and restoring force models are invoked to achieve a unified solution of the nonlinear response description and dynamic equations at the nodal level, obtaining dynamic response data.
[0054] The operation of the response analysis unit includes: determining performance indicators based on dynamic response data, and generating hysteresis curves and energy dissipation curves.
[0055] The operation of the visualization and evaluation unit includes: establishing a multi-parameter seismic performance index system, determining the seismic performance level of the self-setting frame structure based on the performance index, and graphically processing the performance index, hysteresis curve, energy dissipation curve, and seismic performance level to generate evaluation reports and visualization results.
[0056] As an optional implementation, modeling units, solution units, nonlinear characteristic libraries, response analysis units, and visualization and evaluation units can be integrated into any self-setting frame structure seismic performance analysis system to form a fully automated integrated architecture from data input and model building to solution analysis and performance evaluation. Based on this, the overall implementation process of the self-setting frame structure seismic performance analysis system provided in this application can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes: S1 Structural Discretization and Modeling: The structure is discretized under a unified vector-based dynamic equilibrium system, and each element achieves geometric compatibility through coordinate transformation updates. This step is performed by the modeling unit. Based on vector mechanics principles, this modeling unit establishes a geometric and kinematic model of the self-resetting frame structure under a unified dynamic equilibrium system. Beams, columns, and node regions are discretized into multi-directional coupled component sub-elements to achieve mechanical continuity and geometric coordination of the overall structure.
[0057] S2 Node Constraints and Nonlinear Description: A compression-tension asymmetric contact constraint mechanism and a coupling mechanism based on the relative rotation angle of nodes are established to simulate node opening, closing, and self-resetting behavior. This step is completed collaboratively by the solver element and the nonlinear characteristic library.
[0058] S3 Dynamic Equations and Explicit Time Integration: This step establishes the nodal force equilibrium equations and performs explicit integration to achieve energy conservation through the coordination of kinetic energy and internal force work. This process is executed by the solution unit. Based on vector mechanics principles, this unit establishes the structure's dynamic equations through the nodal force equilibrium equations. Specifically, the nodal force equilibrium equations are established based on vector dynamic equilibrium relationships. For each node, the principle of point mass dynamics is applied, projecting the internal forces of the component onto the node through the element direction vector, and combining this with external forces to form nodal dynamic equilibrium.
