In this paper, the nonlinear, nonplanar, complicated dynamics of the small sag, iced cable subjected to side wind and movement of one support is investigated. Based on theories of analytical mechanics, elastic mechanics and aerodynamics, the nonlinear partial differential equations with three-degree-of-freedom are established. Then, the dimensionless method and the Galerkin's method are applied to discretize the governing partial equations of a three-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system. And then, the method of multiple scales is used to obtain the averaged equations of the iced cable system in the case of primary resonance and 2:1 internal resonances. Finally, numerical simulation is employed to find the nonlinear dynamic responses of the iced cable system. It is found there exist the periodic motion, multi-period motion, quasi-periodic and chaotic motions for the iced cable under certain conditions.

Based on a rotor model, the coupled torsional-axial vibration is analyzed. Calculation results show that the prestress and the rotational centrifugal load may influence the torsional vibration frequency of a rotor. The torsional vibration frequency will increase when the prestress is increased. The axial vibration frequency is not influenced because the direction of the prestress is perpendicular to the axis. The coupled torsional-axial vibration may take place when the torsional vibration frequency is increased due to the prestress.

Anti-slide pile is a major landslide prevention measure. This paper analyzes the transition process of force between soil and anti-slide pile based on force equilibrium. According to the relationship of acting force and reacting force between soil and anti-slide pile, the stress distribution in the soil behind anti-slide pile is obtained. From the stress isograms, it is shown that the mechanism of soil arc between anti-slide pile and soil is the result of the stress state from imbalance to balance in soil.

To study the complex flow characteristics of polymer solution in reservoir porosity, experiments were carried out for the flow of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) solution in tubes of 10$\sim$350$\mu$m in diameter. The results show that under the experimental conditions specified in this paper, the flow laws of HAPM solution significantly deviate from those of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics in conventional scales. When the diameter of tubes is small, its average cross-section flow velocity is higher than the conventional result. The smaller the tube diameter, the greater the deviation will be.

A 3D irregular deformable discrete element model is developed to model the brittle failure process of rock materials. Under the external loadings, continuous blocks near the failure limits are cut into several smaller blocks, and connect-type springs are assigned on the interface between these blocks. Under the tension-shear failure criterion, the connect-type springs are broken into the contact-type springs. As a result, a continuous-discontinuous modeling of brittle failure of rock materials is implemented. Dynamic relaxation technique is applied to obtain solutions without assembling the global matrix. The model is validated by typical examples.

This paper proposes a method for quantitative testing of plastic deformation and damage in steel members during the process of loading. The Diffuse-Reflectance Method was used to obtain varied images of surface roughness of steel specimen during the process of stretching. With a further treatment of these images, the average gray value variations can be obtained to reflect the steel specimen surface roughness, which will help us to find out the sensitive parameter relevant to plastic deformation and damage status in the steel member under loading. The results show that, based on Diffuse-Reflectance Method and image processing, the average gray value variations of steel specimen's surface roughness during the loading process could be used to detect the start of plastic deformation and to describe the damage degree quantitatively in the late stage of plastic deformation of metal components or structures.

The carangiform propulsion has been paid much attention in recent years. In nature, the fish may have many kinds of tail shape, but only a few body shapes. This paper studies the influence of the body shape on the carangiform propulsion. Two body models are used in numerical simulation: model A, the fish normal body shape; model B, the submarine shape. The tail takes a crescent shape. The strouhal number ($St$) is chosen as the main parameter, and the combined translational-rotational oscillations are taken as the motion of tail. The hydrodynamical force is calculated by the software FLUENT. The results show that the body shape does affect the carangiform propulsion, the fish body shape is beneficial to cruising as a result of the nature evolutional selection.

Steel ejector tube is widely used in aviation and chemical industries as an exhaust apparatus in product experiments. However, the internal high-speed airflow can result in a large number of longitudinal cracks around the cylinder. It is related with vibration modes and frequencies, as well as the stress level of the ejector tube. In this work, the petal breathing vibration mode and frequency corresponding to the longitudinal cracks in a large ejector tube structure are studied using FE analysis. With dynamic stress analysis, the frequency which leads to damage of ejector tube is found mainly in the low frequency band of 200$\sim$300\,Hz. A typical breathing vibration mode and frequency were obtained through experiments, which shows that the numerical modeling and analysis are reasonable.

To improve the capability of energy absorption, a new type of polyurethane foams is designed and produced; the process of the blast wave propagating into this material is investigated. The main design principle of the material is as follows: by adding a certain amount of metallic particles with diameter of about 10\,$\mu$m into polyurethane foams, the heat absorption capacity of the material is enhanced so that its capacity for resisting blast is improved. The pressures of blast wave propagating into polyurethane foams with or without metallic particles, and with different amounts of metallic particles, are measured by using piezoelectric pressure transducers, respectively. The results show that the polyurethane foams with metallic particles have a better performance in resisting blast wave than those without metallic particles.

The mixed time integration parallel algorithm for structural nonlinear dynamic analysis is proposed, which combines the implicit and explicit time integration techniques. The parallel algorithm with mixed time integration technique is implemented with domain decomposition. Concurrency is introduced into this algorithm by integrating interface nodes with the explicit time integration technique and solving local subdomains with an implicit algorithm. A flexible parallel data structure is designed to implement the parallel mixed time integration algorithm. A computer program is developed with messaging interface as the software development environment. Numerical example is implemented to validate the performance of the parallel algorithm. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is better in performance than the implicit algorithm.

In this paper, Monte-Carlo method is used for the reliability analysis of elastic plane problems, in which the spline fictitious boundary element method (SFBEM) is used as the sample experiment approach due to its high accuracy and efficiency. In order to further improve the calculation, Taylor expansion and Neumann expansion techniques are adopted to avoid generating influence matrices and their inverses during the repeated calculations of a large number of sample analyses, and the calculation time of a single sample analysis is considerably reduced. In addition, an important sampling method is also used to reduce the sampling numbers while the same accuracy is maintained. Numerical results show that the proposed method, the Taylor-Neumann expansion important sampling Monte-Carlo SFBEM, can achieve a good accuracy and a relatively high efficiency for the reliability analysis.
