Dynamic Analysis of Dry-jointed Structure—Case Study on Yingxian Wood Pagoda of China [PDF]
, 2017 常见的干架结构包括传统的干砌或弱浆砌砖石结构、中国古建筑木结构等空间多体干连接组合结构体系。该类结构由多个块体构件按照一定规则简支叠置，构件间不采用粘结材料形成拉结，借助自重及摩擦力抵抗侧向力。目前对干架结构的研究较少，且已有的对干架结构的数值模拟研究多基于连续杆系结构思想，与实际差异较大。本文从干架结构的特点出发，采用多体动力学及离散单元法对简单的块体干架结构进行分析，进而对中国古代建造的干架结构的典型——应县木塔进行探索。 运用理论力学方法及UDEC离散元软件建模分析，得出了在平面干连接接触 ...
