The effects of grooves on wind characteristics of tall cylinder buildings

Yuan, Wei-bin,Yu, Nan-ting,Wang, Zhao Techno-Press 2018 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.26 No.2

For most full-scale tall buildings the Reynolds number of a flow field around a circular cylinder under strong wind is usually greater than $2{\times}10^7$, which is difficult to achieve in most wind tunnel tests. To explore the wind characteristics of tall cylindrical buildings with equidirectional grooves from subcritical to transcritical flow ($6.6{\times}10^4{\leq}Re{\leq}3.3{\times}10^5$ and $9.9{\times}10^6{\leq}Re{\leq}7.2{\times}10^7$), wind tunnel tests and full-scale large eddy simulations were carried out. The results showed that the rectangular-grooves narrow the wake width due to the downstream movement of the separation point and the deeper grooves cause smaller mean and fluctuating pressure while the peak pressure is little affected. Furthermore, the grooves lead to lower frequency of vortex shedding but the Strouhal number remains at the range from 0.15 to 0.35. The drag coefficient of the cylinders with grooves was found to be 2~3 times as large as that of smooth cylinders.

Deflection of Castellated Beams Subjected to Uniformly Distributed Transverse Loading

Wei-bin Yuan,Nan-ting Yu,Zhao-shui Bao,Li-ping Wu 한국강구조학회 2016 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.16 No.3

This paper presents an analytical solution for determining the deflection of castellated/cellular beams with hexagonal/circular web openings, subjected to a uniformly distributed transverse load. The solution is derived using the principle of minimum potential energy. To validate the derived analytical solution, three-dimensional linear finite element analysis is performed using four-node shell elements built-in ANSYS software. Good agreement between the finite element result and the present analytical solution is demonstrated.

Blind Source Separation of Instantaneous Mixture of Delayed Sources Using High-Order Taylor Approximation

Wei Zhao,Zhi-Gang Yuan,Yue-hong Shen,Yufan Cao,Yimin Wei,Pengcheng Xu,Wei Jian 한국전자통신연구원 2015 ETRI Journal Vol.37 No.4

This paper deals with the problem of blind source separation (BSS), where observed signals are a mixture of delayed sources. In reference to a previous work, when the delay time is small such that the first-order Taylor approximation holds, delayed observations are transformed into an instantaneous mixture of original sources and their derivatives, for which an extended second-order blind identification (SOBI) approach is used to recover sources. Inspired by the results of this previous work, we propose to generalize its first-order Taylor approximation to suit higher-order approximations in the case of a large delay time based on a similar version of its extended SOBI. Compared to SOBI and its extended version for a first-order Taylor approximation, our method is more efficient in terms of separation quality when the delay time is large. Simulation results verify the performance of our approach under different time delays and signal-to-noise ratio conditions, respectively.

Buckling Analysis of Steel H Column with Thermal Gradient Along the Flanges

Wei-bin Yuan,Pei-jun Ge,Yue-ting Shen,Shan-shan Cheng,Nan-ting Yu 한국강구조학회 2020 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.20 No.2

This paper presents an analytical study about the axial compression buckling of H-section columns with one side of the flanges exposed to fire. The fire-induced thermal gradient along the flanges is obtained by using simplified Fourier heat conduction equation. The pre-buckling stress and bowing effect due to the non-uniform temperature distribution through the cross-section is considered. The analysis is accomplished by using the Rayleigh–Ritz method. The analytical solution is validated by finite element analysis using ANSYS. Finally, the parametric study is performed for different sections including different values of length, thickness ratio and width-to-height ratio.

An Analytical Solution of Local–Global Interaction Buckling of Cold-Formed Steel Channel-Section Columns

Wei-bin Yuan,Yue-ting Shen,Nan-ting Yu,Zhao-shui Bao 한국강구조학회 2019 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.19 No.5

This paper presents an analytical approach to predict the critical load of global buckling with locally buckled channel-section columns under axial compressive loads. The eff ect of local deformation before global buckling is considered. The analysis is performed by using the Rayleigh–Ritz method. The analytical solution is validated by using the nonlinear fi nite element analysis method. Parametric study is also performed for diff erent sections including diff erent values of slenderness ratio, height-thickness ratio and width-height ratio. The comparison between the present approach and those taken from Chinese and American standards demonstrates that the present model provides a good approach for predicting the critical loads of steel columns involving local and global buckling interaction.

Wei Gu,Diansi Yu,Yuan Guan,Hui Wang,Tao Qin,Pingdong Sun,Yingxiong Hu,Jihui Wei,Hongjian Zheng 한국유전학회 2020 Genes & Genomics Vol.42 No.9

Background Waxy maize (Zea mays L. sinensis Kulesh) is a mutant of maize (Zea mays L.) with a mutation at Waxy1 (Wx1) gene locus. The seed of waxy maize has higher viscosity compared to regular maize. By now, we know little about the expression patterns of genes that involved in the seed development of waxy maize. Objective By analyzing the transcriptome data during waxy maize seed development, we attempt to dig out the genes that may infuence the seed development of waxy maize. Methods The seeds of waxy maize inbred line SWL01 from six phases after pollination were used to do RNA-seq. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the expression patterns of the expressed genes, to identify the genes involved in waxy maize seed development. Results A total of 24,546 genes including 1611 transcription factors (TFs) were detected during waxy maize seed development. Coexpression analysis of expressed genes revealed the dynamic processes of waxy maize seed development. Particularly, 2457 genes including 177 TFs were specially expressed in waxy maize seed, some of which mainly involved in the process of seed dormancy and maturation. In addition, 2681, 5686, 4491, 4386, 3669 and 4624 genes were identifed to be diferential expressed genes (DEGs) at six phases compared to regular maize B73, and 113 DEGs among them may be key genes that lead the diference of seed development between waxy and regular maizes in milk stage. Conclusion In summary, we elucidated the expression patterns of expressed genes during waxy maize seed development globally. A series of genes that associated with seed development were identifed in our research, which may provide an important resource for functional study of waxy maize seed development to help molecular assisted breeding.

Rock wool wastes as a supplementary cementitious material replacement in cement-based composites

Wei-Ting Lin,An Cheng,Ran Huang,Yuan-Chieh Wu,Ta-Yuan Han 사단법인 한국계산역학회 2013 Computers and Concrete, An International Journal Vol.11 No.2

The use of rock wool waste, an industrial by-product, in cement-based composites has positive effects on the environment because it reduces the problems associated rock wool disposal. The experiments in this study tested cement-based composites using various rock wool waste contents (10, 20, 30 and 40% by weight of cement) as a partial replacement for Portland cement in mortars. The pozzolanic strength activity test, flow test, compressive strength test, dry shrinkage test, absorption test, initial surface absorption test and scanning electron microscope observations were conducted to evaluate the properties of cement-based composites. Test results demonstrate that the pozzolanic strength activity index for rock wool waste specimens is 103% after 91 days. The inclusion of rock wool waste in cement-based composites decreases its dry shrinkage and initial surface absorption, and increases its compressive strength. These improved properties are the result of the dense structure achieved by the filling effect and pozzolanic reactions of the rock wool waste. The addition of 30% and 10% rock wool wastes to cement is the optimal amount based on the results of compressive strength and initial surface absorption for a w/cm of 0.35 and 0.55, respectively. Therefore, it is feasible to utilize rock wool waste as a partial replacement of cement in cement-based composites.

Numerical analysis of the dynamic behavior of a rotor-bearing-brush seal system with bristle interference

Yuan Wei,Shulin Liu 대한기계학회 2019 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.33 No.8

To minimize leakage and maintain the efficiency of turbomachinery, brush seal can be installed with zero clearance or interference as the flexibility. This leads to contact between the rotor and bristle pack, and may cause self-excited vibration, even instability. In this study, to establishment a mathematical model of the rotor system, a seal force model with bristle interference is proposed and the nonlinear oilfilm force is applied in view of short bearing assumption. The influences of main factors containing rotor rotational speed, installing interval, disc mass, and disk eccentricity on the nonlinear characteristics of the rotor-bearing-brush seal system are conducted by adopting bifurcation diagram, spectrum cascade, axis orbit, and Poincaré map. The results indicate that the vibration amplitude of the system with bristle interference is a bit larger than that without interference. The system stability is enhanced with smaller disk mass at a higher rotational speed. The proposed model could provide valuable reference for the design of a rotor-bearing-seal system.
