OBJETIVO: Utilizar os dados clínicos e espirométricos para distinguir entre os padrões restritivo e inespecífico dos resultados dos testes de função pulmonar em pacientes com CVF reduzida e relação VEF1/CVF normal ou elevada. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados resultados de testes de função pulmonar de 211 pacientes adultos submetidos à espirometria e a medidas de volumes pulmonares. O diagnóstico clínico na solicitação do exame e diversos dados funcionais foram utilizados para diferenciar pacientes com o padrão restritivo "verdadeiro" (CPT reduzida) daqueles com o padrão inespecífico (CPT normal). RESULTADOS: Na amostra estudada, a CPT estava reduzida em 144 casos e estava dentro da faixa normal em 67. As causas mais comuns do padrão inespecífico foram doenças pulmonares obstrutivas, insuficiência cardíaca congestiva, obesidade, bronquiolite, doenças intersticiais e doenças neuromusculares. Em pacientes com hipótese diagnóstica de fibrose pulmonar, doenças pleurais ou doenças da parede torácica, o valor preditivo positivo (VPP) para restrição foi > 90%. Em homens, a CVF < 60% do previsto teve um VPP para restrição de 98,8%. Em mulheres, o padrão restritivo foi encontrado em 84,4% daquelas com CVF < 50% do previsto. Uma diferença entre VEF1% e CVF% > 0% teve um VPP para restrição de 89,5%. Após regressão logística, uma escala de pontos foi desenvolvida para predizer o padrão restritivo. CONCLUSÕES: O padrão restritivo pode ser identificado com segurança em diversos casos com VEF1 e CVF reduzidos e relação VEF1/CVF normal usando-se um algoritmo que leva em conta o diagnóstico clínico e alguns achados espirométricos.

OBJETIVO: Estudar os padrões clínicos, radiológicos e histopatológicos da biópsia transbrônquica (BTB) utilizados para a confirmação diagnóstica em pacientes com suspeita clinica de doença pulmonar intersticial (DPI) atendidos em um hospital universitário de nível terciário. MÉTODOS: Os prontuários, laudos radiológicos e de biópsias transbrônquicas de todos os pacientes com suspeita de DPI submetidos a BTB entre janeiro de 1999 e dezembro de 2006 no Hospital das Clínicas de Botucatu, localizado na cidade de Botucatu (SP), foram revisados. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos no estudo 56 pacientes. Desses, 11 (19,6%) apresentaram o diagnóstico definitivo de fibrose pulmonar idiopática (FPI), que foi significativamente maior nos casos nos quais DPI era uma possibilidade diagnóstica em comparação com aqueles nos quais DPI era a principal suspeita (p = 0,011), demonstrando a contribuição da BTB para a definição diagnóstica dessas doenças. O exame histopatológico dessas biópsias revelou que 27,3% dos pacientes com FPI apresentavam o padrão de pneumonia organizante, o que pode sugerir doença mais avançada. O padrão histológico indeterminado foi o mais frequente, refletindo a característica periférica da FPI. Entretanto, o padrão fibrose apresentou alta especificidade e alto valor preditivo negativo. Para os padrões sugestivos de FPI em TC, a curva ROC indicou que a melhor relação entre sensibilidade e especificidade ocorreu com a presença de cinco alterações radiológicas, sendo o aspecto de favo de mel fortemente sugestivo de FPI (p = 0,01). CONCLUSÕES: Nas DPIs, a TC de tórax deve ser sempre realizada e a BTB usada em situações individualizadas, conforme a suspeita e distribuição das lesões.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) de pacientes com fibrose cística (FC) acompanhados em um centro universitário de referência em atendimento a FC. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com a aplicação do Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire (CFQ) e escore de Shwachman em pacientes com FC entre abril de 2008 e junho de 2009. RESULTADOS: Participaram 75 pacientes, com média de idade de 12,5 ± 5,1 anos (variação: 6,1-26,4 anos). Os pacientes foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com a idade: grupo I (< 12 anos), II (12-14 anos) e III (> 14 anos). As pontuações mais altas e mais baixas no CFQ foram para o domínio alimentação do grupo III (89,3 ± 16,2) e para o domínio social no grupo II (59,5 ± 22,3), respectivamente. Houve uma diferença significativa no domínio tratamento entre os grupos III e I (p = 0,001). Pacientes com escore de Shwachman < 70 apresentaram diferenças significativas em relação aos domínios social (grupo I; p = 0,045), respiratório (grupo II; p = 0,053) e digestivo (p = 0,042) quando comparados aqueles com escores > 70. No grupo III, não se observou associação entre gravidade e QV. Nos grupos I e II, não se observou diferenças entre os pacientes com VEF1 < 80% do previsto e os demais pacientes em todos os domínios do CFQ. Entretanto, no grupo III, as médias dos pacientes com VEF1 < 80% do previsto foram significativamente menores nos domínios físico (p = 0,012), imagem corporal (p = 0,031), respiratório (p = 0,023), emocional (p = 0,041) e papel social (p = 0,024). CONCLUSÕES: A avaliação da QV em pacientes com FC é importante, pois contribui para uma melhor aderência ao tratamento.

OBJETIVO: Descrever e comparar os valores de PImáx e de PEmáx em primigestas e nuligestas na faixa etária de 20-29 anos pareadas por idade. MÉTODOS: Foram estudadas 120 primigestas de baixo risco obstétrico, da 5ª a 40ª semana gestacional, e 40 nuligestas, eutróficas, não praticantes de atividade física, provenientes da região metropolitana do Recife (PE). Os valores de PImáx e PEmáx foram obtidos, respectivamente, a partir do VR e da CPT através de um manovacuômetro digital. A comparação entre os grupos foi feita pelo teste t de Student, e a relação dos fatores grupo e idade cronológica sobre as pressões foi avaliada através de regressão linear múltipla. RESULTADOS: No grupo de primigestas e nuligestas, a média de PImáx foi de, respectivamente, 88,5 ± 16,52 cmH2O e 94,22 ± 22,63 cmH2O (p = 0,08), enquanto a média de PEmáx foi de 99.76 ± 18,19 cmH2O e 98,67 ± 20,78 cmH2O (p = 0,75). Não houve correlação entre a idade gestacional e PImáx (r = -0,06; p = 0,49) ou PEmáx (r = -0,11; p = 0,22). A relação entre idade cronológica e PImáx/PEmáx não diferiu entre primigestas e nuligestas (coeficiente angular = 0,028 e 0,453, respectivamente). CONCLUSÕES: As pressões respiratórias de mulheres primigestas mantiveram-se estáveis durante o ciclo gestacional e não diferem significativamente dos valores das nuligestas na faixa etária de 20-29 anos.

Background

The impact of prolonging temozolomide (TMZ) maintenance beyond six cycles in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) remains a topic of discussion. We investigated the effects of prolonged TMZ maintenance on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Patients and Methods

In this retrospective single-center cohort study, we included patients with GBM who were treated with radiation therapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ. For analysis, patients were considered who either completed six TMZ maintenance cycles (group B), continued with TMZ therapy beyond six cycles (group C), or stopped TMZ maintenance therapy within the first six cycles (group A). Patients with progression during the first six TMZ maintenance cycles were excluded.

Results

Clinical data from 107 patients were included for Kaplan-Meier analyses and 102 for Cox regressions. Median PFS times were 8.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.1–12.4) in group A, 13.7 months (95% CI 10.6–17.5) in group B, and 20.9 months (95% CI 15.2–43.5) in group C. At first progression, response rates of TMZ/lomustine rechallenge were 47% in group B and 13% in group C. Median OS times were 12.7 months (95% CI 10.3–16.8) in group A, 25.2 months (95% CI 17.7–55.5) in group B, and 28.6 months (95% CI 24.4–open) in group C. Nevertheless, multivariate Cox regression for patients in group C compared with group B that accounted for imbalances of other risk factors showed no different relative risk (RR) for OS (RR 0.77, p = .46).

Conclusion

Our data do not support a general extension of TMZ maintenance therapy beyond six cycles.

This report details the successful use of bilateral lung transplantation for the management of severe postoperative bleomycin-associated lung injury. This case highlights that the extremely favorable prognosis of advanced testicular germ cell tumors after systemic chemotherapy (>90% cure rate) should not preclude lung transplant consideration in all cases, despite current guidance that considers an advanced malignancy to be a contraindication for lung transplant listing.

Fibre addition and Portland cement treatment are used to amend the adverse characteristics of some fine-grained soils and to enhance their mechanical properties. The present study proposes a single power function that quantifies the effects of the amount of cement and porosity on the unconfined compressive (qu) and split tensile (qt) strength of fibre-reinforced fine-grained soil-cement mixtures. The practical value of the equation is that only one unconfined compression (or split tensile) test of a specimen moulded with a specific fibre type, fibre amount, specific cement amount, porosity, and cured for a given time period is required to estimate the strength of the fibre-cement soil mixture. The equation can be used for a wide range of porosities and cement contents, and for other fibre-reinforced fine-grained soils treated with cement.

Decisões judiciais em matéria de saúde: as conexões entre o Direito e a Moral
Authors: Zebulum José Carlos
Published: March 2017

A partir da transferência, cada vez mais intensa, da atribuição de decidir questões importantes na área da saúde, para o Judiciário, justifica-se o interesse em investigar, identificar e compreender os principais conflitos morais experimentados por magistrados no cotidiano de sua jurisdição de saúde, buscando compreender as razões desses conflitos e o modo pelo qual têm sido deliberadas questões de saúde em face dos entes públicos. Uma vez que nestas situações, os juízes, de uma forma geral, dispõem de certa margem de liberdade na escolha dos padrões - políticas, princípios (jurídicos ou morais) ou regras – que devem utilizar, em alguns casos, para chegar a uma decisão que considerem adequada, avulta-se a questão do chamado poder discricionário do juiz. Mas até onde vai a discricionariedade dos juízes? Será que podem decidir livremente, de acordo com as regras jurídicas, princípios jurídicos, política, ou mesmo de acordo com suas convicções morais, a seu único e exclusivo talante? Este estudo busca trazer respostas para estas questões a partir da teoria de Ronald Dworkin, no contexto de suas divergências com Herbert L. A. Hart e Richard Posner, mais especificamente no que diz respeito às conexões entre a moral e o direito. Ao final, desenvolvemos uma técnica a fim de identificar conflitos morais experimentados pelos magistrados que aplicamos em casos concretos de demandas de saúde.
Juizados Especiais: uma solução para a questão da saúde?
Authors: Zebulum José Carlos
Published: March 2017

Como resultado de políticas públicas ineficientes ou até mesmo inexistentes no âmbito da saúde, e uma crescente demanda dirigida ao Poder Judiciário por prestações de desta natureza, é fato que a situação atual do acesso à saúde no Brasil é fortemente condicionada ao acesso à justiça. Isto coloca um desafio para o Poder Judiciário no enfrentamento das dificuldades que envolvem a tutela do direito fundamental à saúde. Se a implantação dos juizados especiais se apresenta como solução encontrada para facilitar e viabilizar o acesso à justiça, torna-se necessário investigar se a simplificação e racionalização de procedimentos adotados nesta esfera do Judiciário concorre, efetivamente, para ampliar e facilitar o acesso à saúde.

The Performance of the Austin Indie Scene in Slacker: From the Body of a Scene to the Body of a Generation
Authors: Soldani Maria Teresa
Published: March 2017

Abstract | Slacker (1991) by Richard Linklater is considered a milestone in American independent cinema (King). The film is entirely shot on location in Austin, Texas, mainly in the area of the Drag. Its 24-hour narration of city life has specific features: a script conceived as a “Roadmap,” with no main characters or turning points; members of the scene and film crew as non-professional actors; and local Austin music. This article explores Slacker’s unique representation of the local indie scene and how its collective performance became emblematic of a generational phenomenon, thus shifting the culture discourse’s emphasis from space (Austin) to time (Generation X).Résumé | Slacker (1991) de Richard Linklater est considéré comme un jalon d’une importance clé dans le cinéma indépendant américain (King, 2005). Le film en entier a été tourné à Austin au Texas, principalement dans le voisinage de la Drag. La narration de 24 heures de la vie urbaine possède des caractéristiques particulières : un scénario conçu comme une « feuille de route », sans personnages principaux ou moments charnières; des membres de l’équipe de mise en scène et de tournage comme acteurs non professionnels; de la musique d’Austin. Cet article explore la représentation unique de Slacker de la scène indépendante locale et de quelle façon sa performance collective est devenue emblématique d’un phénomène générationnel, en mettant l’accent non plus sur l’espace (Austin), mais sur le temps (Génération X).

This study presents a joint analysis of the information from 195 field infiltration experiments, using double ring devices. The experiments were carried out in 20 contrasting types of land use, distributed across three geographic contexts (coast of NE Catalonia, low mountains in the central Ebro Valley and mid-height mountains from the southern range of the Central Pyrenees). The objective of this research was to determine the most important factors explaining infiltration variability: land use, type of vegetation cover, soil and bedrock characteristics, soil moisture and altitude. Data analysis was performed by comparing variables using statistical methods: bivariate lineal correlation, ANOVA and Bonferroni multiple comparison tests. Results show that infiltration variability is the most important factor and mainly linked to land use, followed by vegetation type. In contrast, soil moisture did not show any relation with infiltration. The interpretation of these results suggests that the characteristics of the study areas are more decisive than temporal variations of soil water content, although humidity can influence land use to a greater or lesser degree. The validity of the results obtained in this study is supported by the wide range of land use and land cover analysed, located in areas with different geographical and geological characteristics.

Published: March 2017

The research output from most of the teaching medical institutions of our country is dismal. Medical students and faculties can routinely contribute to the research publication by developing proper instinct and attitude. Research ideas are generated from interesting observations that one comes across during day to day clinical practice. Every research question should be assessed by FINER criteria. Methodical search of existing literature is extremely important. Research hypothesis should be written in PICOT format. Knowledge of biostatistics and collaboration with basic sciences and paraclinical specialties are keys to scientifically correct clinical research protocol development.

Published: March 2017

BACKGROUND: Indiscriminate use of intra-operative fluoroscopy can incur harm both to the patient as well as the surgeons. Orthopedic surgeons seldom do in skin marking prior to cleaning and draping of the operative site. This study aims to study the feasibility and utility of pre-operative skin marking with henna in conjunction with marker radiograph.

METHODS: Out of 54 patients undergoing spine surgery, vertebral level localization was done by fluoroscopy in 26 patients. In the rest of the 28 patients, preoperative marker radiograph with steel wires was taken in conjunction with henna line markings on the skin. These were correlated for vertebral level localization. Difference in time taken for vertebral localization by these two methods, and the difference in the number of fluoroscopic images required was observed and recorded.

RESULTS: Approximately 4 minutes were needed for level localization via fluoroscopic technique, whereas the henna marking technique did this in approximately 30 seconds. No adverse effects of henna application were observed during the study.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of preoperative skin marking with henna along with the appropriate marker radiograph can reduce the surgical time and radiation exposure without increasing the chances of a wrong level surgery in the spine.

Published: March 2017

Background: Herpes genitalis, has assumed greater importance, being the most common genital ulcer disease nowadays. Hence we aimed to study and analyse the epidemiology of herpes genitalis among STI clinic attendees of our institution during the three year study period.

Methods: Previous case records of those who attended the STI clinic of our tertiary care institution with herpes genitalis from 2009 January to 2011 December were reviewed, data collected and studied.

Results: 87 of the 530 patients (16.4%) who attended our STI clinic during the three year study period were diagnosed to have herpes genitalis. Females (57) outnumbered males (30) and majority of the affected belonged to the 20-39 age group (58/87, 66.7%). The common clinical types noted were primary herpes genitalis in females (38/57, 66.7%) and recurrent herpes genitalis (15/30, 50%) in males.

Conclusions: The facts that all female patients except one were married, only 7.7 % of female patients had either EMC or PMC and many had developed symptoms within one year of their marriage, indicated that marital contact is the commonest cause of herpes genitalis in females in this locality. Significant percentage of primary herpes occurring in pregnant females points to the necessity of pre-marital counselling regarding various STIs and their respective modes of transmission. The study also indicated that males tend to get recurrences for a more prolonged period (2 months to 30 years) , compared to females ( 2 months to 5 years).

Authors: Nascimento Luciano Feitosa , Lima Andréa Silva , Pereira Kelven Félix
Published: March 2017

O processo de ensino-aprendizagem da disciplina de Física, diante do desinteresse apresentado pelos alunos, torna-se um forte desafio para os professores da área. Uma das causas desse desinteresse é o fato das aulas serem, na maioria das escolas, totalmente teóricas fazendo com que os alunos atuem como sujeitos passivos, não podendo correlacionar as teorias vistas em sala de aula com a prática, deixando desta forma as aulas extremamente enfadonhas, que servem apenas de depósito de equações que não tem nenhuma conexão com o dia-a-dia do aluno. Um importante fator que contribui para isso é a falta de laboratórios de ciências nas escolas, o que quando existem, não dispõem de itens experimentais que abranjam todos os ramos da física. Este presente artigo tem como finalidade apresentar atividades experimentais desenvolvidas com a principal ideia de disponibilizando um kit com experimentos para a amenizar a carência destes materiais, principalmente nas escolas públicas. Onde foram realizadas não apenas apresentações para os alunos, mas também apresentação ao professor como utilizar estes experimentos durante o ano letivo

A Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) é considerada um problema de saúde pública cujas causas são múltiplas. Mudanças no estilo de vida, alimentação saudável e prática de exercício físico são mecanismos de prevenção e controle desta patologia. O exercício físico é responsável pela diminuição dos níveis pressóricos e contribui para a melhoria na qualidade de vida dos portadores de hipertensão. Este trabalho é um relato de experiência das atividades desenvolvidas no projeto intitulado Hipertensão e Exercício Físico, realizado na Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) do Bairro Bodocongó em Campina Grande-PB. O projeto objetivava conscientizar a comunidade e os portadores de HAS atendidos pela USF, sobre a importância do exercício físico no controle e tratamento da doença. Foram realizadas investigações diagnósticas para verificar a prevalência da hipertensão e análise dos fatores de risco e sua relação com a doença, grupos de discussão e palestras informativas sobre temas relacionados à hipertensão e sobre a importância do exercício físico. Além disso,  foram verificados peso, altura, circunferência do quadril e Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). O projeto possibilitou conscientizar os hipertensos e a comunidade em geral, que a incorporação de hábitos saudáveis e prática de atividades físicas era um dos meios de controlar e tratar a hipertensão.

O metabólito 20-hidroxiequidisona é responsável por iniciar mudanças nos exoesqueletos de insetos. Esta molécula é também associada com suplementação alimentar e pode ser usada como indutora em pesquisas com transgênicos. Por isso o entendimento do processo bioquímico associado com a interação enzima/molécula é essencial para entender os fenômenos biológicos nos quais a 20-hidroxiequidisona está envolvida. Por essa razão a modelagem molecular é muito importante para o entender quais interações ou ligações são mais importantes para descrever o ancoramento molecular da enzima/molécula. Neste trabalho foram realizados cálculos de otimização de geometria usando a mecânica molecular para a proteína inteira e mecânica molecular/quântica (QM/MM) baseado na aproximação ONIOM. Os resultados destes cálculos foram comparados com os dados experimentais de ligação de hidrogênio provenientes da técnica de difração de raio x. Os cálculos mostram que a combinação ONIOM (B3LYP/UFF) possui maior acurácia que aqueles provenientes unicamente do campo de força Charm para a descrição de ligações de hidrogênio no sítio catalítico.

Tribocorrosion in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Dundon John M. , Ramkumar Prem N. , Lajam Claudette
Published: March 2017

➢ Tribocorrosion, the degradative process between metallic modular junctions, is more commonly seen with larger prosthetic femoral heads, longer neck lengths, and higher-offset stems.

➢ The use of recalled modular femoral stems should raise suspicion for tribocorrosion in patients with hip pain.

➢ Fretting corrosion is the predominant source of failure at modular junctions.

➢ The literature is unclear regarding the clinical utility of measuring serum levels of cobalt and chromium.

➢ Reconstructive surgical procedures can be difficult as local pseudotumors can lead to destruction of the abductor musculature.

Structured each means of realization of affirmative meaning into a proper niche. The research confirmed that nouns, verbs, adverbs belong to the nuclear identifications of the affirmation category. Sub-nuclear identifications of the affirmation category include word-sentences represented as particles, modal verbs, exclamations and estimation lexemes. As for intermediate means of affirmation representation one may attribute the expression likes ‘I know’ or syntactically segmented structures. Peripheral verbalizers of affirmative meaning cover comparisons and phraseological structures. The outmost peripheral niche is formed by elliptical incentive structures, repetitions and combinations of several particles and adverbs. Established, that an affirmation within colloquial style is connected with stating the fact, agreement with the previous fact, approval of the decision, confidence as to the previous message, approval of information truthfulness.

Published: March 2017

Considering the tilt of the seal ring, the transient vibration response analysis model of the non-contact mechanical seal is presented. The model is consisted of the transient Reynolds equation, the equation of motion and the equation for solving the high order nonlinear dynamic coefficients of seal. The relative error of the high order nonlinear film force to the linear film force is also obtained. With Euler method, the characteristic parameters of the transient vibration response are obtained, which include the axial vibration displacements and the angle-swing of the static ring. The 14 nonlinear force and 14 nonlinear overturning moment dynamic coefficients for the non-contact mechanical seal are calculated. The results show that the influence of the damping effects of the sealed fluid between the seal gap on the axial vibration displacements and the angle-swing is linear. The film thickness distribution changes with the axial vibration of seal, which will lead to static ring swing, and the swing also can cause the axial vibration of the seal. With the increase of the nonlinear order, the relative error of the nonlinear film force decreases. All of the nonlinear film forces, the non-linear stiffness coefficient and damping coefficient decrease with the seal film thickness increases.

Local damage on concrete slab subjected to a contact explosion includes explosive cratering on the front face and spalling or perforating on the back face. It is a subject that has been studied by many investigators for many years for many purposes. However, computational methods on explosive spallation or perforation are rare while they are significant for the design of warhead, the protective structure and engineering blasting. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of material was described by rigid-plastic model, and the material resistance of concrete slab subjected to contact explosions was derived by utilizing limit equilibrium theory. Combined with the initial and boundary conditions, the formulae of the threshold thickness have been derived, which can predict the categories of local damage on concrete slab under contact explosion loads. Besides, a non-dimensional impact factor was derived, which reflects the integrated nature of explosive sources and material resistance. Finally, analysis study of the results of numerical simulation and the derived equations proved the rationality of the proposed calculation methods.

Published: March 2017

This study analyzes the necessity, development, and principles of aero-engine electrostatic monitoring technology. An electrostatic sensor with specific size is assembled in the exhaust nozzle of an RB-211 turbofan engine located near the low-pressure turbine outlet, a stress checking procedure for safety is conducted. Two test program cycles are included in the whole experimental process. Electrostatic signal processing flow is presented, and feature parameters used for analysis are root-mean-square (RMS), activity level (AL), negative event rate (NER), positive event rate (PER), kurtosis, impulse factor, and absolute mean value. Thrust is used to parameterize the working conditions of the turbofan engine. Moreover, data fitting is conducted to determine the relations between feature and performance parameters. Accordingly, lubrication oil leakage fault and fuel-rich combustion condition are detected in two test run cycles, which result in the appearance of abnormal signals. The AL, RMS, and absolute mean values exhibit similar trends with the change in thrust. A positive linear correlation is also observed between the AL and the thrust in the varying thrust test period. The method of blade-casing rubbing fault recognition is discussed. Experiment results show that the electrostatic sensor is very sensitive to large-sized charged particles in the exhaust emissions.
Effect of using linear multiple tuned mass dampers on concrete structures with hysteresis behavior
Authors: Shooshtari Mohammad , Mortezaie Hamid
Published: March 2017

In this research, performance multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) with consideration of the hysteresis behavior and cracking effect of concrete structures under near field earthquake records with high intensity are carefully investigated. Inelastic analysis was performed by employing Takeda hysteresis model, on mathematical model in a state-space form using a program written in Matlab. In the first step, optimum parameter of TMD for single story frame equipped by spectrum TMD is obtained. In the second step, the best place of MTMDs for ten-story frame from two aspects, plastic energy dissipation and maximum lateral displacement, has been studied. And in the last step, the effect of building height in performance of MTMDs is investigated by analysis of a twenty-story resistance frame. Results show that entering the structure into the field of nonlinear behavior and increasing structure height, TMD does not affect the linear behavior of structure. On the other hand, by using the TMD better energy distribution is formed in structure and maximum energy of plastic hinges is reduced. To achieve the best place TMD should multiple target criteria parameters and all potential placement of MTMD simultaneously applied.

Authors: Tan Luyang , Li Lin , Gu Song , Wang Dong
Published: March 2017

We applied multi-objective topology optimization to reduce vibration of the primary supporting structure of video satellites in the frequency domain. The optimal structure is obtained by the multi-objective topology optimization with stiffness and random vibration response as the targets. This is compared with the optimal structure obtained by single-objective topology optimization with stiffness as the target. The dynamic analysis results show that the root mean square values in all three spatial directions of the optimal structure by the multi-objective optimization are smaller than that of the single-objective optimization. The maximal declining value reaches 2.94 g, and the maximal declining degree is 30.6 %. The maximal declining response value on the top of the cylinder reaches 3.87 g with a degree of 33.0 %. The results demonstrate that the multi-objective optimization method significantly improves the vibration response of the base plate, which therefore suppressed the vibration of the satellite. An acceptance condition experiment is performed for the satellite with the optimal base plate from the multi-objective optimization. The dynamic analysis results match well with the experimental data, and verify the applicability of the multi-objective optimization.

Vibration analysis of a cylinder with slight diameter and thickness variations

Published: March 2017

The cross section of circular cylinder in their dynamic model is always considered as a perfect circle, which means radii at every point on the circle are the same. In real engineering structure, there are slight fluctuations in shape of the circular cylinder which is different from those in ideal model. Meanwhile, effects of structural fluctuations on its dynamic characteristic are rarely analyzed before. To study problem mentioned above, the geometric shape of a typical, apparently symmetrical cylinder is examined experimentally to demonstrate that a small variation in diameter and thickness indeed exists in practice firstly. Because fluctuations in diameter and thickness of the cylinder are related to each other, we need to separate effects of a slight variation in its diameter and thickness on structural dynamic characteristics to search the key factor of influence. Then, two simplified modes, which are modeled by finite element method, are used to study the effects of diameter or thickness variation alone on the natural frequencies and modal shapes of the free cylinder. It is revealed that the diameter variation described by the simplified model captures the key influencing elements which affect the modal characteristics of the free cylinder. Finally, a free cylinder with both variations is analyzed numerically and the results are verified experimentally. This work illustrates that significant discrepancies inevitably exist between the measured results of an actual free cylinder and an assumed symmetrical model even if there is only a very slight variation in its geometric shape.
Free vibration study of v-shape and rectangular shape double-sided cracks in a cantilever beam

Published: March 2017

The vibration response of a structural member changes due to the presence of crack because crack introduced local flexibility in it. Depending upon the vibration amplitude the crack may be of open or close type. Crack gives catastrophic failure to the structure hence it is very crucial to understand the dynamic of the structure. In the inverse problem, vibrating properties like natural frequency, resonance amplitude can be used as a basic criterion in crack detection or in design of structures. Previously, a mathematical model was developed by W. M. Ostachowicz and M. Krawczuk for the cantilever beam which has two open double-sided v-shape cracks. This model is used to find the natural frequency and characteristics roots in bending mode. The aim of this study is to prove whether the developed mathematical model can be used for rectangular shape cracks because in various applications existence of v shape and rectangular shape cracks are very general. For this reason, results of v-shape cracked cases are used as a reference model. Modal analysis is done by using ANSYS software to get the pure bending natural frequencies of the various cracked cases. Then the same mathematical model is used for rectangular shape cracked cases to calculate the characteristics roots. The value of characteristics roots obtained for a v-shape crack by W. M. Ostachowicz and M. Krawczuk and a rectangular shape crack cases studied are in good agreement. Hence it proves the flexibility of the model developed with v-shape cracks. In addition to this, the effect of two double-sided cracks on the characteristics roots is studied for all the cracked cases given in the reference model. It is found that as crack depth increases at any unique location then natural frequency decreases. At last location even though crack depth increases value of natural frequency almost remains constant.
