Yao Cui,Fengzhi Wang,Hao Li,Satoshi Yamada 국제구조공학회 2019 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.32 No.4

Exposed column base connections are used in low- to mid-rise steel moment resisting frames. This paper is to investigate the effect of the base plate thickness on the exposed column base connection strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation. Five specimens with different base plate thickness were numerically modelled using ABAQUS software. The numerical model is able to reproduce the key characteristics of the experimental response. Based on the numerical analysis, the critical base plate thickness to identify the base plate and anchor rod yield mechanism is proposed. For the connection with base plate yield mechanism, the resisting moment is carried by the flexural bending of the base plate. Yield lines in the base plate on the tension side and compression side are illustrated, respectively. This type of connection exhibits a relatively large energy dissipation. For the connection with anchor rod yield mechanism, the moment is resisted through a combination of bearing stresses of concrete foundation on the compression side and tensile forces in the anchor rods on the tension side. This type of connection exhibits self-centering behavior and shows higher initial stiffness and bending strength. In addition, the methods to predict the moment resistance of the connection with different yield mechanisms are presented. And the evaluated moment resistances agree well with the values obtained from the FEM model.

Yao Cui,Xiaoyu Gao,Hongtao Liu,Satoshi Yamada 한국강구조학회 2018 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.18 No.4

Experimental study was conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of roof joint. Eight full-scale specimens were tested considering the eff ects of axial force, joint height, hole shape of base plate and edge distance of concrete on the failure mode and resistance capacity of roof joint. With the increase of axial force, the hysteretic curves were fuller. The mechanical model of roof joint change from bending to shear. With the increase of joint height, the ultimate strength of roof joint decreased. If the hole shape of base plate changed from circle to loose, the slip behavior of roof joint appeared and the ultimate strength of roof joint decreased. The damage of edge concrete may occur if the edge distance of concrete was not big enough.

Shear behavior of exposed column base connections

Yao Cui 국제구조공학회 2016 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.21 No.2

Column base connections are critical components in steel structures because they transfer axial forces, shear forces and moments to the foundation. Exposed column bases are quite commonly used in low- to mediumrise buildings. To investigate shear transfer in exposed column base plates, four large scale specimens were subjected to a combination of axial load (compression or tension) and lateral shear deformations. The main parameters examined experimentally include the number of anchor rod, arrangement of anchor rod, type of lateral loading, and axial force ratio. It is observed that the shear resisting mechanism of exposed column base changed as the axial force changed. When the axial force is in compression, the resisting mechanism is rotation type, and the shear force will be resisted by friction force between base plate and mortar layer. The specimens could sustain inelastic deformation with minimal strength deterioration up to column rotation angle of 3%. The moment resistance and energy dissipation will be increased as the number of anchor rods increased. Moreover, moment resistance could be further increased if the anchor rods were arranged in details. When the axial force is in tension, the resisting mechanism is slip type, and the shear force will be resisted by the anchor rods. And the shear resistance was reduced significantly when the axial force was changed from compression to tension. The test results indicated that the current design approach could estimate the moment resistance within reasonable acceptance, but overestimate the shear resistance of exposed column base.

Purpose: Transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS), as a non-invasive modality, has been clinically used as an alternative treatment for children with overactive bladder (OAB). We conducted a pooled analysis to explore the effect of TENS on OAB. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guideline was followed in this study. The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, as well as the reference lists of the retrieved studies, were used to find trials relevant for assessing the use of TENS to treat OAB. Results: Of the 246 records identified, 8 publications were analyzed in our study. Our analysis found that TENS resulted in a greater decrease of wet days/wk, daily voiding frequency, daily incontinence episodes, and daily number of voids than was observed in the control group. Furthermore, TENS-treated patients showed similar visual analogue scale (VAS) scores to patients in the control group, demonstrating that the application of TENS did not increase patients’ discomfort and pain. TENS had a relative advantage in the number of partial responses, but no clear differences were found in frequency of no response or a full response compared to the control group. In urodynamic testing, TENS led to obvious improvements in average voided volume and maximum voided volume in children with OAB. Conclusions: TENS had a remarkable effect on the improvement of urodynamic indexes and objective OAB symptoms without a significant increase in VAS scores for children with OAB.

최근 컴퓨터비젼 분야에서 이벤트 검출 및 인식이 활발히 연구되고 있으며, 도전적인 주제들 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 사무실 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 이벤트의 검출 및 인식을 위한 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 MHI(Motion History Image) 시퀀스(sequence)를 이응한 인간의 모션을 분석하며, 사람의 처형과 착용한 옷의 종류와 색상, 그리고 카메라로부터의 위치관계에 불변한 특성을 가진다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법들 중, 칼라 정보를 이용한 방법에 비해 조명의 변화에 민감하지 않은 장점이 있으며, 관심의 대상이 되는 객체의 외형과 같은 사전지식에 의존하는 방법에 비해 스케일에 민감하지 않은 장점이 있다. 에지검출 기술을 HMI 순서 영상 정보와 결합하여 사람 모션의 기하학적 특징을 추출한 후, 이벤트 인식의 기본정보로 활용한다. 제안된 방법은 단순한 이벤트 검출 프레임웍을 사용하기 때문에 검출하고자 하는 이벤트의 설명만을 첨가하는 것으로 확장이 가능하다. 또한, 제안된 방법은 컴퓨터비젼 기술에 기반한 많은 감시시스템 뿐 아니라 상황인식 기반의 이벤트 검출 시스템에 핵심기술이다. Event detection and recognition is an active and challenging topic recent in Computer Vision. This paper describes a new method for recognizing events caused by human motion from video sequences in an office environment. The proposed approach analyzes human motions using Motion History Image (MHI) sequences, and is invariant to body shapes. types or colors of clothes and positions of target objects. The proposed method has two advantages; one is thant the proposed method is less sensitive to illumination changes comparing with the method using color information of objects of interest, and the other is scale invariance comparing with the method using a prior knowledge like appearances or shapes of objects of interest. Combined with edge detection, geometrical characteristics of the human shape in the MHI sequences are considered as the features. An advantage of the proposed method is that the event detection framework is easy to extend by inserting the descriptions of events. In addition, the proposed method is the core technology for event detection systems based on context-aware computing as well as surveillance systems based on computer vision techniques.

When the large all-terrain crane operated under ultra-high hoisting height, the stability of boom system became the key factor of the lifting capacity. The installation of eccentric structure and super-lift device could help to improve the stability of boom system. In order to achieve the best effect of growth, it was important to study the relationship between eccentric structure and super-lift device. The eigenvalue buckling analysis and geometric nonlinear buckling analysis were carried out by ANSYS for the combined boom system of 500 t all-terrain crane with tower jib when lifting load, dead weight, offset load, wind load and lifting rope force were considered. And then the influence rule of the combined relationship between the strut length, opening angle, amplitude variation angle of the eccentric structure and the strut length, opening angle, amplitude variation angle of the super-lift device on the overall stability of combined boom system was analyzed to obtain the optimum parameter combination of eccentric structure and super-lift device, which provides reference for engineering practice.

The germination inhibitory effects of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium Linne) pulp were discussed. The germination inhibitory effects of pulp juice were decreased in a concentration de-pendent manner. When the pulp juice was diluted 0 (original juice), 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 times, the radicle lengths of the assay plant, Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis Linne), showed 0, 0.32, 0.72, 3.13, 4.83, 16.07, 16.73 and 23.50 mm, respectively (CK=25.98 mm) The pulp evidently inhibited the embryo growth in natural fruit. The longer was the duration that the pulp stayed around the seed, the longer was the time course needed for embryo getting free from the inhibitory effects of pulp. When the depulping was performed on the day 0, 15, 30 and 60 after harvest, the time courses needed for embryo extricating the residual inhibitory effects from pulp were 30, 75, 135 and 135 days, respectively. Moreov-er, if the pulp stayed around the seed with time, that would make the seed rotten ratio increase. When the pulp stayed around the seed for 0, 15, 30, 60 and 270 days, the seed rotten ratios were 5.47, 5.71, 19.05, 27.14 and 33.33%, respectively. Therefore, we concluded that the pulp could be included in the inhibitory components which made American ginseng seed get into dormancy.
