The application relates to a dynamic visualization method and device for earthquake disasters. The method comprises: acquiring initial point cloud data of buildings and scenes in a target area; acquiring shake displacement data varying with time of the buildings by simulating an earthquake excitation on the buildings and the scenes; performing voxel downsampling and point cloud segmentation and extraction on the initial point cloud data to determine a ground point cloud and a point cloud of each building; updating in real time coordinates of each point of the point cloud of each building according to the shake displacement data; and rendering in real time the ground point cloud and the coordinates of each point of the point cloud of each building to generate a dynamic visual image for displaying.

Dynamic visualization method and device for earthquake disasters

Disclosed is a self-centering viscous damper with pre-pressed ring springs. The self-centering viscous damper with pre-pressed ring springs comprises a first inner cylinder, a second inner cylinder, a third inner cylinder, an outer cylinder, a first end cover, a second end cover, a piston, a piston rod, a ring spring, a first connector, a second connector, a first linking nut, a second linking nut, a first outer cover, a second outer cover, a first end and a second end. Due to the interaction between the inner and outer cylinders, the ring springs are further pressed whether a damper is tensioned or pressed. The ring springs have been applied with pre-pressure which overcomes a frictional force and a restoring force when the ring springs are in an initial equilibrium position.

A self-centering cable includes a restoring and energy-dissipation unit and a cable reinforcement connected to the restoring and energy-dissipation unit by a connecting unit. The restoring and energy-dissipation unit includes an outer trough, an axial tube provided in an opening at the upper end of the outer trough, two inverted U-shaped mild steel members provided side by side and fixedly mounted in the outer trough, an axial pallet sandwiched between and fixedly connected to the two inverted U-shaped mild steel members, and a disc spring set provided in the outer trough and sleeved onto the axial tube. The cable reinforcement includes a tensile reinforcement penetrating into a reinforcement bottom connector and a reinforcement top connector. The reinforcement bottom connector is connected to the axial tube, the top end connector, connected to the reinforcement top connector, and a bottom end connector are connected to a structure to be reinforced.
