We reproduce multi-modal vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) and multi-modal rainwind-induced vibrations (RWIVs) of an inclined and yawed cable in wind tunnel tests. The flexible cable model has low mass and low damping. First, the cable model is kept dry and exposed to uniform airflow; it experiences first-, second-and third-mode VIVs with the increase of wind speed. The structural responses of VIVs are analysed and the frequency lock-in phenomenon is observed for different modes of VIVs of the flexible cable. In addition to VIVs of the dry cable, RWIVs are excited by guiding water rivulets on the cable surface from a water tube. The first-, second-and third-mode RWIVs of the flexible cable are observed and identified at a much higher range of incoming wind speeds than that of the VIVs. To further explore the origin of the multi-modal behaviours of RWIVs, the upper rivulet is guided and restricted to forming locally along the cable. Experimental results reveal that the higher-and multiple-mode RWIVs can be excited by a local rivulet, even under a lower wind speed. Finally, RWIVs are compared to VIVs to uncover their underlying similarities and relationships.
This paper reinforced jacking construction method, which used reinforced concrete sewer pipes to conduct the external pressure load test, and the cracking load and the failure load of reinforced concrete sewer pipes were tested, and its local and overall deformation under different load levels. At the same time, we conducted the nonlinear compute of reinforced concrete sewer pipes by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS, theoretical simulation and test results were contrasted analysis, and jacking construction method, which used reinforced concrete sewer pipes, was comprehened evaluation in construction quality, mechanical behavior and failure mode, which can provide theoretical basis for practical engineering application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
