A Tuned Mass Damper with Nonlinear Magnetic Force for Vibration Suppression with Wide Frequency Range of Offshore Platform under Earthquake Loads by Qiong Wu, Wei Zhao, Weiguo Zhu, Rencheng Zheng, Xilu Zhao

“…Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are applied to ensure the safety and stability of offshore platforms; however, linear dampers are effective for a single resonance frequency, providing vibration suppression only within a narrow frequency band. Therefore, this paper proposed a magnetic TMD with two pairs of permanent magnets on both sides of the structures, which can generate a nonlinearly repulsive force, making the magnetic TMD reliable and robust in damping the oscillations of structures with wide frequency range under seismic excitations. …”

Photoelectrocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants in Aqueous Solution Using a Pt-TiO2 Film by Chun He, Mudar Abou Asi, Ya Xiong, Dong Shu, Xiangzhong Li

“…The enhancement is attributed to the action of Pt deposits on the TiO2 surface, which play a key role by attracting conduction band photoelectrons. In the PEC process, the anodic bias externally applied on the illuminated Pt-TiO2 films can further drive away the accumulated photoelectrons from the metal deposits and promote a process of interfacial charge transfer.…”

FATIGUE DAMAGE ANALYSIS OF VIBRATING SCREEN UPPER BEAM BASED ON STRAIN MODAL ANALYSIS by ZHANG ZeRong, FAN ZhiMin, WANG YongYan, YANG FuQin, XU Jun

“…The results show that the modal frequencies and the displacement mode shapes have no obvious mutation between intact and damaged upper beam,but the strain mode shapes have mutation peaks at the location of the fatigue damage crack,furthermore,the bending strain mode is more sensitive to fatigue damage crack than the twisting strain mode.Thus a fatigue damage indicator is defined by using the strain modal variable ratio between the intact and damaged upper beam,the fatigue crack size is determined by damaged degree of the upper beam,then the residual life of fatigue crack propagation of the upper beam is calculated by the Paris formula of integral form. …”
