For steel box girder of cable-stayed bridge, which using incremental launching method, during the launching process, structural system and boundary conditions were changing, structure mechanical behaviors were complex. It was necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis on internal force and deformation of the whole structure during the launching process. Took a cable-stayed bridge with single tower, double cable planes and steel box girder in China as an example; finite element software MIDAS Civil 2010 was used to establish a model for steel box girder, simulation analysis of the entire incremental launching process was carried out. Variation rules and envelopes of the internal force, stress, deformation and support reaction were obtained. The result showed that: the maximum value of positive bending moment after launching complete was 60% of the maximum value of positive bending moment during the launching process. The maximum value of negative bending moment after launching complete was 78% of the maximum value of negative bending moment during the launching process.
Taking Wei River Bridge with span combination of 69m+7×90m for example, the method of determining the steel-concrete joint section for variable cross-section steel-concrete hybrid continuous box girder bridge were investigated by finite element and parameter sensitivity analysis. The results show that it was an effective method for hybrid girder highway beam bridge from the view of mechanical property that the bending moment under dead load combination was employed as the main parameters, considering the negative bending moment in the pier top and the amplitude of bending moment in the joint section under live load. But based on reasonable structure stress conditions, the length of steel box girder that the host material of the bridge was concrete could determined by economy principle.
There are always greater differences in ambient temperature when the gear is processed and measured, the temperature difference can cause the change of the tooth profile, and it leads to a result that the measurement data can not truly reflect gear processing accuracy. In order to reduce the influence of temperature on the accuracy of the gear measurement, we analyze the influence of temperature on the gear profile based on ANSYS software. The generalized least squares method (GLS) is used to fit data that is calculated from FEM, and a new involute gear formula is attained. The formula is characterized with temperature-corrected, and its accuracy meets the requirements of gear measurement.
