In order to perform the spatial buckling and static analysis of the nonsymmetric thin-walled beam-column element, improved exact static stiffness matrices were evaluated using equilibrium equation and force-deformation relationships. This numerical technique was obtained using a generalized linear eigenvalue problem, by introducing 14 displacement parameters and system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices. Unlike the evaluation of dynamic stiffness matrices, some zero eigenvalues were included. Thus, displacement parameters related to these zero eigenvalues were assumed as polynomials, with their exact distributions determined using the identity condition. The exact displacement functions corresponding to three loadingcases for initial stress-resultants were then derived, by consistently combining zero and nonzero eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors. Finally, exact static stiffness matrices were determined by applying member force-displacement relationships to these displacement functions. The buckling loads and displacement of thin-walled beam were evaluated and compared with analytic solutions and results using ABAQUS' shell element or straight beam element.

In this study, we studied how to perform the structural analysis which need a large-capacity flash memory with the computer program when the flash memory storage of a personal computer has no enough room for the analysis of structure. As one of the solutions of this problem, the blocking method of stiffness matrix, which is a method that stiffness matrix is divided by a few blocks and each block is sequentially used for the calculation of matrix decomposition, is proposed and an algorithm available in computer program is derived on the method. Finally, A structural analysis program (sNs) based on this study is developed and the correctness and efficiency of the algorithm is founded through some examples which are fundamental in structural analysis.

An identification method of the structural damping matrix for a steel bar by the genetic algorithm is proposed. Supposing the damping matrix were in proportion to the stiffness matrix, the proportional factors can be identified from the curve fitting of the experimental frequency response function(FRF) by the genetic algorithm. Applying the identified damping matrix to FEM of a beam model, the values of the objective function could be reduced to about 1/60 in comparison with conventional FEM model without damping. The damping matrices of some sub-structures which have large damping partly could be identified by the algorithm, and they could be used as some parts of the FEM model for a whole structure.

Even though there are many analysis methods of circular tanks on elastic foundation, the finite element method is widely used for that purpose. But the finite element method requires a number of memory spaces, computation time to solve large stiffness equations. In this study many the simplified methods(Analogy of Beam on Elastic Foundation, Foundation Stiffness Matrix, Finite Element Method and Transfer Matrix Method) are applied to analyze a circular tank on elastic foundation. By the given analysis methods, BEF analogy and foundation matrix method, the circular tank was transformed into the skeletonized frame structure. The frame structure was divided into several finite elements. The stiffness matrix of a finite element is related with the transfer matrix of the element. Thus, the transfer matrix of each finite element utilized the transfer matrix method to simplify the analysis of the tank. There were no significant difference in the results of two methods, the finite element method and the transfer matrix method. The transfer method applied to a circular tank on elastic foundation resulted in four simultaneous equations to solve completely.

본 연구에서는 기설구조물에 대한 손상도 추정기법과 내진능력평가 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 구조물의 손상도를 추정하는 방법으로는 소수의 계측 데이터를 이용한 모드섭동법(inverse modal perturbation)을 이용하였다. 구조물의 손상은 강성행렬의 감소로 표현하여, 각 요소행렬에 대한 손상을 손상지수를 사용하여 나타내었다. 구조적 손상과 이에 기인한 고유진동 특성의 변화량과의 관계를 섭동방정식으로부터 구한 후, 이로부터 손상지수와 고유진동 특성의 변화량과의 관계를 유동하였다. 따라서 손상 전과 후에서 구조물의 고유진동수와 모드형상을 측정하여 섭동식의 해를 구함으로써 구조물의 강성행렬의 감소로 나타나는 구조물의 손상도를 추정하게 된다. 손상도 추정에 의해 평가된 강성의 변화량에 기인한 손상 후의 기설구조물의 지진응답, 내진능력과 지진손상도의 평가를 손상전과 비교하였다. 내진능력은 구조부재에서 회전연성도 능력의 경험식을 이용하여 평가하였고, 지진손상도의 평가는 가장 많이 사용되는 방법인 Park & Ang 방법을 사용하였다. 예제해석은 다른 지진하중을 받는 2층과 8층의 예제구조물에 대해서 수행하였다.

This study is to develop nonlinear analysis algorithm for transfer matrix method, which can be applied to continuous beam analysis. Gauss-Lobatto integral rule is adopted and the transfer matrix is derived from stiffness matrix. In the transfer matrix method, the system equation has a constant number of unknowns regardless of number of D.O.F. Therefore, the transfer matrix method has computational efficiencies not only in linear elastic analysis but also in nonlinear analysis. To verify the developed method, the analysis results of several examples are compared with commercial code in moment-curvature, moment-displacement and load-displacement relation.

A modified Lanczos method combined with a substructure analysis technique was used for calculating natural frequencies and mode shapes of large structural systems. The method does not require generation and storage of stiffness and mass matrices of the entire structure. It only uses the stiffness and mass matrices of each substucture. No approximating assumptions are required other than the usual assumption of linear elastic system modelled by finite elements. Thus, natural frequencies and mode shapes for the finite element model employed are the same as those with or without the suhstructuring algorithm. To check the efficiency of the proposed method, first ten natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes of an open truss helicopter tail-boom structure are calculated by using it.

Stiffness estimation of a shear building due to local damages is usually achieved though structural analysis based on the assumed material properties and idealized numerical modeling of structure. Conventional numerical modeling, however, frequently causes an inevitable error in the structural response and this makes it difficult to exactly predict the damage state in structure. To solve this problem, this paper introduces a damage detection technique for shear building using genetic algorithm. The introduced algorithm evaluates the damage in structure using a flexibility matrix since the flexibility matrix can exactly be obtained from the field test in spite of using a few lower dynamic modes of structure. The introduced algorithm is expected to be more effectively used in damage detection of structures rather than conventional method using the stiffness matrix. Moreover, even in cases when an accurate measurement of structural stiffness cannot be expected, the proposed technique makes it possible to estimate the absolute change in stiffness of the structure on the basis of genetic algorithm. The validity of the proposed technique is demonstrated though numerical analysis using OPENSEES.

In this paper, the stiffness and damping matrix are experimentally constructed using the structural modal information on frequencies, damping ratio and modal vectors, which are obtained by shaking table tests. Free vibration, harmonic and white noise vibration tests are performed. The acceleration of the shaking table was used as the input signal, and the corresponding accelerations of each floor were measured as output signals. The characteristics and limitations of modal information from each test are compared. The results of this study would be a basic resource of the analytical and experimental studies on the system identification of structures.
