Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building vibration / vibration control technology, and in particular to a non-uniform excitation input method for numerical simulation analysis of building structure vibration and vibration dual control. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the methods commonly used for numerical simulation analysis of base acceleration input in building structure vibration control generally include uniform excitation input and the traditional large mass method. However, these methods have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1) Simplified Errors of Uniform Excitation: Traditional uniform excitation methods use the maximum measurement point acceleration as the uniform input to the base. However, the actual propagation of vibration waves is affected by traveling wave effects, local site effects, and coherence losses. In particular, artificially induced vibrations, which are mainly of medium and high frequency, attenuate significantly in the soil, resulting in time differences, amplitude attenuation, and spectral differences in vibrations at adjacent supports. The uniform excitation assumption completely ignores these factors, which will significantly underestimate or overestimate the internal force response of key components.

[0004] 2) Crude interpolation methods: During the propagation of seismic waves or vibration waves, the amplitude attenuation and phase delay of different frequency components are caused by soil damping, scattering, and inelastic deformation. Traditional interpolation techniques are mostly based on linear or polynomial fitting, which do not consider the frequency attenuation characteristics of the soil, resulting in distortion of high-frequency vibration components.

[0005] 3) Limitations of the traditional large mass method. During acceleration input, the traditional large mass method suffers from numerical instability due to the increased number of degrees of freedom, resulting in continuously increasing displacement drift and affecting the reliability of long-duration seismic response and long-term vibration response analysis.

[0006] Therefore, new technological approaches are needed to at least partially overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

However, those skilled in the art will readily understand that the descriptions in the embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and should not, and will not, limit the scope of the invention.

[0059] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the non-uniform excitation input method for dual-control numerical simulation analysis of building structure vibration according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the method of the embodiment includes:

[0060] 1. Time history interpolation method for column base acceleration considering soil spectral attenuation and structural effects.

[0061] 1) Acceleration test at critical nodes

These measuring points should correspond as closely as possible to the locations of pile foundations or structural columns, forming a control network covering the structural foundation. The spacing D between the measuring points should satisfy the spatial sampling theorem: D≤Vs / (2fs), where Vs is the minimum shear wave velocity, and f... s To analyze the highest frequency (≥50Hz), time history data can be simultaneously acquired using three-dimensional (X, Y, and vertical) accelerometers.

[0063] 2) Frequency domain attenuation calculation

[0064] The measured acceleration time history was windowed using a Hanning window to suppress spectral leakage, followed by an FFT windowed transform. Four spectral lines (k1, k2, k3, k4) near the peak of the FFT spectrum were extracted (k2=k1+1, k3=k2+1, k4=k3+1), and the interpolation variables β and α were calculated.

[0100] Compared to existing technologies, the structural features and benefits of this invention are:

[0101] 1) A time-history interpolation method for column base acceleration considering soil spectral attenuation and structural construction effects. Human-induced vibrations, primarily of medium to high frequencies, such as those from urban road surfaces, rail transit operations, and fans and pumps, exhibit significant attenuation in the soil, leading to time differences, amplitude attenuation, and spectral variations at adjacent supports. This time-history interpolation method for column base acceleration, considering soil spectral attenuation and structural construction effects, fully accounts for the frequency attenuation characteristics of vibration waves in the soil and the additional impact of soil-structure interaction and structural weight-related changes in site stiffness on the base acceleration after structural construction. Compared to traditional interpolation methods, this method can more accurately simulate the acceleration time histories at different column bases, improving the accuracy of structural response simulation.

[0102] 2) Stiffness-adjustable spring-damping system constrained large mass method. Based on the traditional large mass method, an adjustable stiffness spring element (stiffness coefficient Ks≤10) is added. -6 K struct (damping coefficient), forming a "mass-spring" coupled system, which will significantly reduce displacement drift while retaining the computational efficiency advantage of the large mass method.

[0103] 3) Collaborative control based on real-time error feedback. A displacement error threshold control system is established. When the nodal displacement exceeds the allowable range, the stiffness coefficient Ks is automatically dynamically adjusted to ensure computational stability. Furthermore, this method supports three-dimensional six-degree-of-freedom vibration input, and can simultaneously simulate the coupling effect of seismic wave spatial variability and fault slippage, as well as three-dimensional man-made vibrations from railway tracks, ground transportation, and equipment such as fans and pumps.

[0104] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. The basic idea of ​​the present invention lies in the above basic scheme. For those skilled in the art, designing various modified models, formulas, and parameters based on the teachings of the present invention does not require creative effort. Changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
