ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IMPACT-UNBALANCED SUSPENDED ROTOR SYSTEM by LIU JunJie, ZHANG LingYun, MA ShaoHui, LAN HaiPeng, ZHANG YouQiang

“…Established an impact-unbalanced suspended rotor system mechanics models, and the dimensionless motion equation of system is deduced, using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method for the numerical calculation of this model, the integrated use of bifurcation diagram, orbit diagram, Poincare section diagram, the axis displacement time history diagram, maximum moment diagram and duty ratio diagram study the dynamic behavior of the system, identify the impact of the rotor, the maximum torque and impact by the proportion of time, and analyzed the speed ratio and the change of the stiffness coefficient of the influence of the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system.The analysis results show that the system presents chaotic motion in a certain parameter domain at the medium velocity stage, while the system tends to stable periodic motion in other parameter domains.With the increase of the stiffness coefficient, the chaotic motion region and the maximum moment of the system increase, and the stability of the system decreases.…”

Experimental Analysis of Static and Dynamic Performance for Continuous Warren Truss Steel Railway Bridge in Heavy Haul Railway by Yiqiang Li, Xianlong Luo, Yeming Li

“…The research results show that after nearly 30 years of operation, the steel structure bridge has local damage, but the bearing capacity still meets the requirements of heavy-duty traffic. At this stage, the corrosion of the steel structure and the damage of the bearing should be repaired in time to prevent the damage from expanding.…”
