Riverbed Surface Settlement Patterns Induced by Pipe Jacking Construction in River-Crossing Sections by SHENG Song-tao, AN Zi-yue, ZHOU Hong-yun, LIU Jie

“…In engineering practice, it is necessary to balance the selection of pipe diameter (large diameters improve jacking efficiency but increase subsidence risk), optimize grouting pressure (to suppress subsidence and avoid excessive uplift), and improve the disturbance resistance of soft soil through reinforcement (such as pre-grouting). (2) This study is the first to construct a 3D fluid-solid interaction model for pipe jacking in the river-crossing section, combining the strength reduction method and parameter sensitivity analysis to provide a theoretical basis for similar projects. …”

Effects of Transmission Ratio on the Nonlinear Vibration Characteristics of a Gear-Driven High-Speed Centrifugal Pump by Anmin Zhou, Lulu Zhai, Zuchao Zhu, Jia Guo, Xinglin Zhang, Baoling Cui

“…Quite different from those under the other states, under this jump motion state, the 0.2fg component and 0.5fp component will appear in the vibration responses of both gears and become the most contributed two factors to the responses of the driven gear. (3) In the design process, the transmission ratio of a high-speed centrifugal pump with a simplified GRSB system should be specially designed to avoid the jump-point state and the maximum-amplitude-of-fm state to ensure the stability of the system as well as reduce the mechanical impacts and noises.…”
