Introduction Functional graded materials (FGMs) have been increasingly used in modern engineering structures.
FGMs possess such advantages over common homogeneous materials and traditional composites and therefore FGMs have become attractive for potential applications as structural and functional elements in aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering as well as many other engineering.

Introduction The need to provided mechanical connections from one side only started in a number of engineering fields.
Typical endplate connection to a hollow section [2] For years, fatigue has been a significant and difficult problem for engineers, particularly for those who design structures such as aircraft, bridges, pressure vessel, and cranes [3].

Introduction Since portland cement was invented in 1824, Concrete is widely used in civil construction, water traffic, etc.
So, further study of concrete strength convenient and accurate detection method is important to speed up the construction progress, improving engineering quality and reducing cost and building materials consumption through the rapid determination of its a several physical and mechanical index[2,3].
So, this method is favor by the engineering and technical personnel and quality testing department about concrete construction or controlling.
In engineering practice, the rebounding and ultrasonic synthesis method should be first selection to obviously improve the detection precision.

(1)Input of seismic waves of commonly used engineering approximate analysis method: Currently uniform excitation is used for seismic input by commonly used and the current structural engineering seismic code, and it is generally used for linear structural analysis,and the seismic period usually less than 5s, so basically the uniform excitation seismic input only applies to seismic response analysis which has small temporal and spatial relatively, For long-span structures, there is time and space variation in the earthquake input and the nonlinear effects of structural response can not be ignored , in recent years in large-span piers, bridges and other structures the spectrum method is used more less amone the precise seismic response analysis methods
