上海博物馆明清家具接榫修复及其力学原理

榫卯结构是中国古代木构家具的核心。由于古木家具的材料易朽烂和吸湿膨胀等缺陷,且节点几何形式多样,使节点处于复杂的应力状态,导致榫卯容易拔出或断损。针对此类问题,首先在对上海博物馆收藏的明清家具展开调查研究的基础上,分析了馆藏古木家具的破坏形式,并提出了以接榫为主的修复方案;其次利用连续介质力学的理论分析、数值模拟和性能试验,阐述了接榫修复的力学机理,验证了原有修复方案的科学性与正确性;最后,依据力学模型对馆内已有的修复方案进行了优化。

常见丙烯酸酯乳液加固脆弱考古出土漆膜的实验室研究

以常用的丙烯酸酯乳液AC33、B60A、MC76、SF016作为脆弱考古出土漆膜的加固剂,利用静态热机械分析仪微损、精确的特点,对加固前后漆膜的弯曲强度进行测试。根据漆膜应力应变的提升程度,对4种加固剂的保护效果进行量化评价。结合扫描电镜观察漆膜表面和剖面加固前后的孔洞、裂隙填充情况以及加固剂成膜状态,揭示其加固特点。结果发现,加固后漆膜的应力提高了56%～3 511%,应变提高了103%～3 876%,其中质量分数为20%的AC33增强效果最好,20%的B60A增韧效果最好,MC76和SF016加固效果相对较差。20%是4种加固剂的最佳使用质量浓度,此时漆膜孔洞和裂隙被完全填充,加固剂在漆膜表面形成连续的薄膜且不过量堆积。本研究将静态热机械分析仪用于极端脆弱考古出土漆膜的残余力学强度测试和加固剂保护效果的量化评估,探讨4种典型丙烯酸酯乳液对漆膜机械强度提升的规律特征,获得了较好的结果,将为考古出土糟朽漆器保护修复遴选加固剂提供科学参考。

A proxy of potters’ throwing skill: ceramic vessels considered in terms of mechanical stress

This study is aimed at evaluating potters’ skills according to the mechanical characteristics of the vessels they produced. It focuses on wheel thrown vessels. In a first stage, considering that the difficulty of throwing ceramic vessels is to a significant extent determined by the risk of collapse of the thrown structure, we applied the method of finite element modelling to derive an index of mechanical stresses operating within a vessel. Validated via compression tests, the so-called Von Mises stress index was employed as a global index of mechanical difficulty. Because this index allows comparisons between vessels of different form, mass, and clay properties, it provides a more powerful tool than existing techno-morphological taxonomies. In a second stage, in order to relate the Von Mises stress index to throwing difficulty, we analysed the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of vessels thrown by eleven expert potters invited to reproduce four different model forms with two different masses of clay. The results demonstrated that reproductions revealed subtle but systematic deviations from the model forms that allowed a decrease in the mechanical difficulty. More difficult forms showed larger degrees of mechanical optimisation. These results, in combination with a new analysis of data from Roux’s (1990) study with potters of different skill levels, indicate that skill resides, at least to a certain extent, in the capacity to marshal the operative mechanical constraints. In other words, the latter, measured by the Von Mises index, provides a useful signature of a potter’s skills.     

A Comparative Study on the Compressive Strength of Bricks from Different Historical Periods

The aim of this article is to present the results of compressive strength tests for bricks from different historical periods. The studies were conducted on hand-molded and mechanically formed bricks. The bricks that were used for the studies came from historical structures from the center of the royal city of Crakow. Compressive strength was determined on rectangular prisms and on cylinders cut out from bricks in various directions—anisotropy and shape effects were then analyzed.

?The basic aim of the conducted studies was to estimate the possibility of carrying out the strength tests on relatively small samples and re-calculating these results on normalized brick strength determined according to EN772–1. Based on the tests results, a range of correlation coefficient values for cylinder samples with diameters of 30 mm and 50 mm was given. It was indicated that for the tested historical bricks characterized by significant material non-homogeneity within the element and sensitivity to damages while cutting out the samples, correlation coefficients are higher than for bricks used contemporarily.

?The results of these studies are presented alongside the findings from existing studies on the compressive strength of bricks.     

Material Characterization and Micro-Modeling of a Historic Brick Masonry Pillar

A masonry pillar composed of solid clay bricks, cement mortar and infill is extracted from a historical structure and tested in concentric compression. It is subjected to cyclic and monotonic loads up to compressive failure.

In parallel, samples are extracted from the pillar and are subjected to destructive tests. Non-destructive tests are performed on the pillar, as well. The properties of the constituent materials are critically examined and their role in the maximum load reached and the failure mode obtained are discussed.

Finally, a finite element micro-model of the pillar is used for the simulation of the pillar test. The influence of the existing damage on the pillar is investigated using the model, resulting in a fair approximation of the global Young’s modulus, maximum load and the failure mode.

Highlights

●?A brick masonry pillar extracted from a historical building is tested in compression.

●?Material samples extracted from the pillar are characterized by mechanical tests.

●?A finite element micro-model of the pillar is used for the simulation of the compressive test.

●?The effect of damage on the compressive strength of the pillar is numerically investigated.

Ductility-Equivalent Viscous Damping Relationships for Beam-to-Column Partial-Strength Steel Joints

This paper seeks to contribute to the development and improvement of displacement-based design procedures, proposing improved ductility-equivalent viscous damping relationships for steel moment-resisting framed structures with dissipative beam-to-column partial-strength joints. These relationships can be used directly in procedures like the Direct Displacement-Based Seismic Design (DDBD) that uses effective stiffness, ductility-equivalent viscous damping relationships, and period-displacement relationships in a performance-based design approach. To this end, a finite element model of a steel beam-to-column sub-assemblage, characterized by an extended end-plate, is developed in ABAQUS. The model, which is validated against monotonic and cyclic experimental data obtained in previous research, is employed to carry out non-linear time-history (NLTH) analyses, using real records scaled to target several levels of ductility demand. A procedure is then proposed and applied to determine the ductility-equivalent viscous damping relationships of the sub-assemblages. The equivalent linearization technique is applied to the non-linear responses obtained in the NLTH analyses, using an elastic single degree of freedom structure and the elastic displacement spectra. The influence of joints mechanisms and of the dynamic characteristics of the structure in the equivalent viscous damping is investigated, and an expression for ductility-equivalent viscous damping is proposed. The proposed expression represents a clear improvement in relation to the existing expressions available in literature.     

A CAPACITY PREDICTION PROCEDURE FOR CONCRETE-FILLED STEEL COLUMNS

A seismic design procedure for partially concrete-filled box-shaped steel columns is presented in this paper. To determine the ultimate state of such columns, concrete and steel segments are modelled using beam-column elements and a pushover analysis procedure is adopted. This is done by means of a new failure criterion based on the average strain of concrete and steel at critical regions. The proposed procedure is applicable to columns having thin- and thick-walled sections, which are longitudinally stiffened or not. An uniaxial constitutive relation recently developed is employed for concrete filled in the thick-walled unstiffened section columns. Modifications are introduced to this model for other types of columns. Subsequently, the strength and ductility predictions obtained using the present and previous procedures are compared with the corresponding experimental results. Comparisons show that the present procedure yields better predictions. It is revealed that the inclusion of the confinement effects and softening behaviour of concrete is important in the present kind of prediction procedures. Furthermore, an extensive parametric study is carried out to examine the effects of procedures and geometrical and material properties on capacity predictions.
