The purpose of this study is to develop automated structural design and analysis aided-program of aluminum extrusion carbody structures for railway vehicle. This developed program is called "AUTO-RAP" and could perform simultaneously structural design and verification for railway carbody structures made of aluminum extrusion independent of expertise and experience of design engineers. Design engineers are able to conduct the knowledge-based design by providing database of existing aluminum extrusion or user-defined function. The design verification is automatically programmed to evaluate its structural integrity according to Korean Railway Safety Law or Urban Transit Safety Law. In addition, this program could automatically generate an executable file of various commercial finite element programs such as ANSYS and ABAQUS and CAD files such as .stp and .iges by GUI environment applications using MFC(Microsoft Foundation Classes). In conclusion, it is expected to contribute to reduce product design cost and time of carbody structures aluminum extrusions in railway industry.

In the study, the effects of damping devices on damping ratio increase and wind-load reduction were investigated based on the computational platform, which is one of the parametric modeling methods. The computational platform helps the designers or engineers to evaluate the efficacy of the numerous alternative structural systems for irregular Super-Tall building, which is crucial in determining the capacity and the number of the supplemental damping devices for adding the required damping ratios to the building. The inherent damping ratio was estimated based on the related domestic and foreign researches conducted by using real wind-load records. Two types of damping devices were considered: One is inter-story installation type passive control devices and the other is mass type active control devices. The supplemental damping ratio due to the damping devices was calculated by means of equivalent static analysis using an equation suggested by FEMA. The optimal design of the damping devices was conducted by using the computational platform. The structural element quantity reduction effect resulting from the installation of the damping devices could be simply assessed by proposing a wind-load reduction factor, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by a numerical example of a 455m high-rise building. The comparison between roof displacement and the story shear forces by the nonlinear time history analysis and the proposed method indicated that the proposed method could simply but approximately estimate the effects of the supplemental damping devices on the roof displacement and the member force reduction.

미진동 제어라는 분야에 대한 연구는 반도체 산업이 초고도화 및 초정밀화가 진전되고 있는 최근에 들어와 학계보다는 전문 반도체와 TFT-LCD의 미진동제어 관련 엔지니어 그룹과 정밀 장비 제작사를 중심으로 이루어져왔다. 고집적 생산 제품을 가공 및 검사하기 위해서는 가공 선폭 이상의 분해 성능을 가진 고정밀도의 생산 및 검사 장비가 필요하다. 이런 고정밀도 생산 및 검사장비는 내외부로부터 입력되는 진동에 민감한 영향을 받는다. 초기 반도체 산업을 주도한 미국을 중심으로 일부 학자와 반도체 진동 제어를 수행하는 전문연구소에서 작성한 BBN-Criteria는 정밀장비의 용도나 분해능 별로 정리된 진동허용규제치를 지침서로 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 장비의 엄밀한 주파수 특성 및 정밀도 측면에서 불확실한 영역부분을 가지고 있기 때문에 미소한 진동을 제어하는 구조 설계자 관점에서는 불충분한 자료이다. 그리고 주파수 분해능을 가진 진동허용규제치를 제시하는 것이 바람직하지만 대부분의 제작사에서는 그렇지 못하고 있다. 그런 이유에는 장비 개개의 진동허용규제치가 다른 고가의 장비 전량에 대하여 시험을 수행해야 하는 점, 가진(加振)특성, 중량, 크기 등의 진동실험 자체에 어려움 때문이다. 또한 진동실험시 가진주파수의 분해능의 결려에 따른 장비의 동적 특성이 고려되지 않은 불확실한 영역 부분을 포함한 진동허용규제치를 제시함으로서 불확실한 영역부분의 진동 하한치를 진동허용규제치의 상한치로 결정하는 문제로 인하여 진동허용규제치가 더욱 가혹하게 제시되어 건물 구조 설계와 방진의 어려움을 가중시킬 여지가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 어려움 등을 회피하는 방법으로 주파수응답함수(Frequency Response Function, FRF)를 이용하여 정밀장비의 진동허용규제치를 결정하는 간편하면서도 더욱 정밀한 새로운 방법을 모색하였다.

전하 트랩형 비휘발성 메모리는 10년 이상의 데이터 보존 능력과 빠른 쓰기/지우기 속도가 요구 된다. 그러나 두 가지 특성은 터널 산화막의 두께에 따라 서로 trade off 관계를 갖는다. 즉, 두 가지 특성을 모두 만족 시키면서 scaling down 하기는 매우 힘들다. 이것의 해결책으로 적층된 유전막을 터널 산화막으로 사용하여 쓰기/지우기 속도와 데이터 보존 특성을 만족하는 Tunnel Barrier engineered Memory (TBM)이 있다. TBM은 가운데 장벽은 높고 기판과 전극쪽의 장벽이 낮은 crested barrier type이 있으며, 이와 반대로 가운데 장벽은 낮고 기판과 전극쪽의 장벽이 높은 VARIOT barrier type이 있다. 일반적으로 유전율과 밴드갭(band gap)의 관계는 유전율이 클수록 밴드갭이 작은 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 관계로 인해 일반적으로 crested type의 터널산화막층은 high-k/low-k/high-k의 물질로 적층되며, VARIOT type은 low-k/high-k/low-k의 물질로 적층된다. 이 형태는 밴드갭이 다른 물질을 적층했을 때 전계에 따라 터널 장벽의 변화가 민감하여 전자의 장벽 투과율이 매우 빠르게 변화하는 특징을 갖는다. 결국 전계에 민감도 향상으로 쓰기/지우기 속도가 향상되며 적층된 유전막의 물리적 두께의 증가로 인해 데이터 보존 특성 또한 향상되는 장점을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 TBM과 다른 형태의 staggered tunnel barrier를 제안한다. staggered tunnel barrier는 heterostructure의 에너지 밴드 구조 중 하나로 밴드 line up은 두 밴드들이 같은 방향으로 shift된 형태이다. 즉, 가전자대 에너지 장벽의 minimum이 한 쪽에 생기면 전도대 에너지 장벽의 maximum은 반대쪽에 생기는 형태를 갖는다. 이러한 밴드구조를 갖는 물질을 터널 산화막층으로 하게 되면 쓰기/지우기 속도를 증가시킬 수 있으며, 데이터 보존 능력 모두 만족할 수 있어 TBM의 터널 산화막으로의 사용이 기대된다. 본 연구에서 제작한 staggered TBM소자의 터널 산화막으로는 Si3N4/HfAlO (3/3 nm)을 사용하여 I-V(current-voltage), Retention, Endurance를 측정하여 메모리 소자로서의 특성을 분석하였으며, 제 1 터널 산화막(Si3N4)의 두께를 wet etching 시간 (0, 10, 20 sec)에 따른 메모리 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

DMAIC is the most familiar problem-solving methodology to battery manufacturing-related engineers, but continuous problems such as task delay, insufficient performance, and partial optimization are occurring due to indiscriminate application to various tasks of battery production system developers. In order to secure an "optimized model for DMAIC methodology" that can effectively respond to battery production system developers' tasks, a three-stage research model was used to derive the required characteristics of the production system developer task methodology, analyze the suitability of DMAIC, and conduct optimization modeling by supplementing the shortcomings. It was confirmed that the DMAIC methodology can be more suitable by applying the "system structural seven-step methodology", which is the result of this study, to developer tasks. It is expected that it will be applied to various industrial fields in the future by making it easier to learn and allowing differentiated operations according to the characteristics of various industries.

Steel hollow section members have been widely used as a major material in the construction market due largely to their efficiency, their aesthetic appeal and to the technical development. But it is true that the commercial Program for dealing with a joint problem using hollow section members is not firmly established due to its uncertain and variable design parameters. The qualitative analysis program developed by using computer is introduced in this study. The results of that analysis are shown in the two-dimensional space in variable ranges and diagrams, so it would be useful to whom have not many experiences and knowledges. It is represented that the differences between Canadian code and the Korean standard for the connections of hollow section members. And It is verified that the software is applicable to the Preliminary design in steel tubular structures.

In the present study, tests for U-type steel box girder are performed to observe the effects of W-type and X-type of top lateral bracings on the bending behavior of the U-type steel box girder system. Another objective of the present study is to investigate the adequacy of the currently available design formula. For the structural tests, the test specimen with two third scale of the system constructed in the field was used. In this test, several different spacings are used for the top lateral bracings. The stresses measured from the bending tests are compared with those by the formula proposed by Helwig. An adequate type and the required number of panel for diagonal bracing was obtained.

The design practice of the lateral resisting system has been traditionally dependent on the experience and know-how of a structural engineer. And the method to reflect the evaluation results of building's capacity on design process doesn't exist. The proposal of a rational design of the lateral load resisting system is based on the available full capacity $(R_{ac})$ of a building and the minimum required capacity $(R_{code})$ suggested in the code. This study suggests thai nonlinear static analysis, which is the estimation of the lateral capacity with the pushover analysis, be included in the existing design procedure of the structure. After finishing the basic structural design, the lateral resisting capacity ol a building is estimated. At the phase of nonlinear static analysis, pushover analysis is peformed to define the fully yielded baseshear $(V_Y)$. When the design wind baseshear $(V_{wind})$ is bigger than the design seismic baseshear $(V_D)$, the value is checked to determine whether or not it is smaller than the $V_Y$. After confirming that it is smaller, the $R_{ac}$ of the structure is computed. If the $V_D$ is bigger at first, only the $R_{ac}$ is computed. When the value of the estimation shows remarkable differences with the $R_{code}$, repetition of the design modification is needed for those approximate to the $R_{code}$. Application of the proposed design procedure to 2-D steel braced RC buildings has proven to be efficient.

Since the seriousness of environmental pollution came to the fore recently, various efforts have been made globally for the reduction of the environmental load. In particular, in the field of construction, an industry responsible for a considerable amount of pollution, studies have been actively conducted to reduce $CO_2$ emissions and energy consumption. However, most conventional research about pollution as it relates to construction is focused on the maintenance stages where $CO_2$ emissions are the greatest. Research related to the design stage is in its infancy, as it has only been conducted thus far on steel buildings and RC buildings. In fact, in order to achieve environmentally friendly construction considering the Life Cycle Assessment(LCA), the building design should be derived to reduce the $CO_2$ emissions from the early building design stage, and structural engineers should be able to suggest a design plan considering its environmental friendliness. In this study, optimal structural design method for steel reinforced concrete(SRC) columns considering $CO_2$ emissions is presented. The trends of $CO_2$ emissions in SRC columns according to the variations of steel shapes, concrete strengths and loads are investigated.
