본 논문에서는 강사장교의 극한강도 및 파괴모드를 간략하게 예측할 수 있는 간단하고 빠른 해석법을 제안하였다. 기존의 비탄성 고유치해석의 기본 개념을 바탕으로 기둥 요소에 대한 수렴 기준을 보였고, 사장교 구조 시스템의 거더 및 주탑 요소에서 보-기둥 거동을 고려하기 위한 새로운 수렴 기준을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법의 타당성 검증을 위하여 중앙경간 길이와 거더의 높이를 변화시킨 강사장교 모델에 대하여 제안된 비탄성 고유치 해석과 비선형 탄소성 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 해석 결과, 제안된 수렴 기준을 적용한 비탄성 고유치 해석은 기존에 기둥의 수렴기준을 적용했던 방법에 비하여 강사장교의 극한강도를 보다 정확히 예측할 수 있었다. 또한, 제안된 방법은 강사장교의 파괴모드 역시 근사하게 모사 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 유도탄 비행시험시에 연소관의 스커트와 날개 장착용 브라켓에 작용하는 공력하중과 연소관에 내압이 동시에 작용하는 추진기관에 대하여 구조 해석하였다. 추진기관의 스커트부 및 브라켓부의 공력하중은 3차원적으로 작용하기 때문에 대칭성을 이용한 $180^{\circ}C$3차원 구조 해석을 수행하여 비행시험, 수압시험, 지상시험 모드에 대하여 응력 수준을 비교하였다. 해석 결과 3가지 모드의 최대 등가응력은 거의 같으며, 비행시험시 공력하중이 앞마개부에 미치는 영향은 최대 등 가응력의 6%이내로 상당히 작았다. 수압시험 모드와 지상시험 모드의 실험치와 해석치를 비교한 결과 정확한 해석을 위해서는 점화기를 모델링과 점화기와 연소관, 브라켓과 연소관에 접촉요소의 적용, 3차원 비선형 해석등 보다 상세한 해석이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) basing on the concept of performance based seismic design have become one of the promising procedures for seismic evaluation of buildings. Although it needs much less computational cost compared to nonlinear time history analysis (NTHA), its usages are limited to simple structures by its inherent restriction to structures wherein the fundamental mode dominates the response. Several new nonlinear static procedures (Modal Pushover Analysis; MPA and Improved Modal Pushover Analysis; IMPA) which can consider higher modes effect were introduced. Nonetheless, its applicability for complex structures such as cable-stayed bridge has not studied yet. This paper focuses on applicability of nonlinear static procedures for the seismic analysis of cable-stayed bridges. Moreover, reliability indexes which can predict analysis procedure's accuracy are introduced.

This study is focused on the investigation of the modal characteristics of the preliminary models of science technology satellite-3 (STSAT-3). Prior to the final decision of the composite structure model, several candidate structure models have been developed so as to find the most qualified structures with respect to the satellite structure systems' requirements and then utilize the information achieved to a real design. The main structure is composed of fiber reinforced composite faced honeycomb sandwich panel whose modal characteristics are found and compared to each other by means of finite element numerical analyses. Results from the current study demonstrate that a rectangular box shape having supporting inner panel shows relatively higher fundamental mode frequencies than octagonal box shape and etc., and regardless of the structure model shape tested herein, the fundamental mode turns out lateral bending mode.

In the health monitoring of civil engineering structures, the optimal sensor placement has a major influence on the quality of the results. This paper considers the problem of locating sensors with the aim of maximizing the data information so that structural parameters or damage of structures can be assessed. An proposed technique using a genetic algorithm is introduced to find the optimal placement of sensors. The sensitivity on modal vectors by structural parameters and the orthogonality of modal vectors have been taken as the fitness function of the genetic algorithm. A simple tower structure is used for example analyses to investigate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed approach. The example analyses show the way how the modal sensitivity and the modal orthogonality in the fitness function have influence on the optimal sensor placement. It is shown that the present method using the proposed fitness function can provide the reliable results.

In this paper, a simple but effective analysis procedure to estimate seismic capacities of multi-span continuous bridge structures is proposed on the basis of modal pushover analysis considering all the dynamic modes of structure. Unlike previous studies, the proposed method eliminates the coupling effects induced from the direct application of modal decomposition by introducing an identical stiffness ratio and an approximate elastic deformed shape. Moreover, in addition to these two introductions, the use of an appropriate distributed load {P} makes it possible to predict the dynamic responses for all kinds of bridge structures through a simpler analysis procedure. Finally, in order to establish the validity and applicability of the proposed method, correlation studies between rigorous nonlinear time history analysis and the proposed method are conducted for multi-span continuous bridges.

Welding is a well-developed, widely used process for permanently joining metal components. However, the mechanical reliability of welded parts still offers room for improvement. A weld region consists of a fusion zone, a partially melted zone, and a heat-affected zone, and each zone has different material properties. In addition, the geometrical shape of a weld bead or fillet influences the mechanical reliability. A precise structural analysis must consider how a local welded region influences the mechanical behavior of the entire structure. This study focuses on an effective modeling scheme for the weld region. It relies on experimental and numerical methods to determine the proper correlation based on experimental results and to propose a modeling scheme for welded parts.

Cable dome structures are composed of cables-masts and the cables should be in pre-tension since a structure without pre-tension is not stable. Under the pretension, self equilibrium stress state is the main characteristic of a cable dome structure. In this paper, a new method based on the basic principle of closed force polygon for equilibrium system is proposed for the determination of self-equilibrium mode of cable dome structure. The proposed method which is called geometric method has the unique characteristic of visualization of the force mode needed for maintenance of self-equilibrium. The basic theory for a self equilibrium of structure is that the summation of forces at each joint without any external load should be zero. The simplicity of the method which involves only drawing close polygon with the aid of suitable CAD software has been illustrated by means of a example. The results compared with mechanical calculation and existed method and shows good agreement.

The finite element method(FEM) has been commonly used for structural dynamic analysis. However, the direct global application of FEM to large complex structures such as ships and offshore structures requires considerable computational efforts, and remarkably more in structural dynamic optimization problems. Adoption of the component-mode synthesis method is an efficient means to overcome the above difficulty. Among three classes of the component-mode synthesis method, the free-interface mode method is recognized to have the advantages of better computational efficiency and easier implementation of substructures' experimental results, but the disadvantage of lower accuracy in analytical results. In this paper, an advanced method to improve the accuracy in the application of the free-interface mode method for the vibration analysis of large complex structures is presented. In order to compensate the truncation effect of the higher modes of substructures in the synthesis process, both residual inertia and stiffness effects are taken into account and a frequency shifting technique is introduced in the formulation of the residual compliance of substructures. The introduction of the frequency shrift ins not only excludes cumbersome manipulation of singular matrices for semi-definite substructural systems but gives more accurate results around the specified shifting frequency. Numerical examples of typical structural models including a ship-like two dimensional finite element model show that the analysis results based on the presented method are well competitive in accuracy with those obtained by the direst global FEM analysis for the frequencies which are lower than the highest one employed in the synthesis with remarkably higher computational efficiency and that the presented method is more efficient and accurate than the fixed-interface mode method.

본 논문에서는 대역통과 필터특성을 위해 통과대역의 상단과 하단의 저지대역에서 감쇄극을 갖는 두 종류의 새로운 마이크로스트립 구조를 제안한다. 이 구조는 TEM모드의 유전체 공진기를 마이크로스트립선로에 용량성 또는 유도성의 병렬 포스트와 연결하여 구성된다. 제안한 구조에 대한 등가회로를 추출하였다. 이 구조의 S-파라미터를 실험과 등가회로 시뮬레이션으로 구하였고, 그리고 유도성포스트의 경우는 3D-FDTD 계산을 추가하여 서로를 비교하였는데 등가회로 모델이 이들 결과와 매우 잘 일치하였다.
