An improved method for evaluating effective buckling length of semi-rigid frame with inelastic behavior is newly proposed. Also, generalized exact tangential stiffness matrix with rotationally semi-rigid connections is adopted in previous studies. Therefore, the system buckling load of structure with inelastic behaviors can be exactly obtained by only one element per one straight member for inelastic problems. And the linearized elastic stiffness matrix and the geometric stiffness matrix of semi-rigid frame are utilized by taking into account 4th terms of taylor series from the exact tangent stiffness matrix. On the other hands, two inelastic analysis programs(M1, M2) are newly formulated. Where, M1 based on exact tangent stiffness matrix is programmed by iterative determinant search method and M2 is using linear algorithm with elastic and geometric matrices. Finally, in order to verify this present theory, various numerical examples are introduced and the effective buckling length of semi-rigid frames with inelastic materials are investigated.

Resisting strength of ring-stiffened cylindrical steel shell under uniform external pressure was evaluated by geometrically and materially nonlinear finite element method. The effects of shape and amplitude of geometric initial imperfection, radius to thickness ratio, and spacing of ring stiffeners on the resisting strength of ring-stiffened shell were analyzed. The resisting strength of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells made of SM490 obtained by FEA were compared with design strengths specified in Eurocode 3 and DNV-RP-C202. The shell buckling modes obtained from a linear elastic bifurcation FE analysis were introduced in the nonlinear FE analysis as initial geometric imperfections. The radius to thickness ratios of cylindrical shell in the range of 250 to 500 were considered.

본 논문에서는 자동차 배기계를 구성하고 있는 Flexible Tube의 형상에 따른 응력 해석 결과를 이용하여 피로 해석을 하였다. 아울러 Flexible Tube의 변위량이 크게 발생하는 것을 고려하여 기하학적 비선형 해석을 실시하였으며 Flexible Tube의 변형량은 끝단에서 6mm의 변위가 발생하도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) Tube의 반경이 증가하면 피로한계 응력반복수는 선형적으로 감소한다. (2) 본 연구에서 사용된 tube중 주름의 반경이 1.7mm일때 피로 수명이 가장 긴 것을 알 수 있다.

Two-element plate concept is incorporated into the buckling problem in order to simplify the nonlinear distribution of stress through the thickness of plate. Finite element formulations and programs based upon the Reissner functional and the modified Reissner functional using two-element plate concept are developed for buckling analysis of plates under axial compression. The two programs have been applied to obtain the linear elastic buckling behavior of axially compressed flat plates. Excellent agreement of linear elastic-solution results with exact or approximate solutions of other authors for the same boundary conditions proves the validity of the finite element method using two-element plate theory.

To study the large displacement and large rotation problems, geometrically nonlinear formulation of eccentric degenerated beam element has been developed, where the restrictions of infinitesimal rotation increments are removed and the incremental equations are derived using the Taylor series expansion of the displacement function at time t+dt. The geometrically nonlinear analyses are carried out for the cases of cantilever, square frame, shallow arch and 45-degree bend beam and all of them are compared with each of the other results published. The element developed in the present research can be efficiently utilized for analysis of the nonlinear behaviours of structures when displacements and rotations are large.

In this study, a method of nonlinear dynamic analysis of suspension bridges subjected to random wind loads is pre.sented. The nonlinearity considered is the one due to the interaction between the motion of the bridge girder and the tertsion variation of the main cables. The equation of motion is formulated using a continuum approach. The coupling between the vertical and torsional motions are included in the analysis. The equation of motion is solved by using the mode superposition method. The analysis is carried out in the frequency domain utilizing the stochastic linearization technique on to the modal equations. In the linearization procedure, the nonlinear terms are approximated as linear ones with constant terms. The verification of the method has been performed on a case with four modal degrees of freedom. Example analyses are carried out on two suspension bridges for various wind speeds and wind force parameters. Numerical results indicate that, by including the nonlinearity into the analysis, the dynamic responses of the bridges, particularly in the vertical direction, change considerably.

This paper studied HART II in descending flight using rotorcraft analysis code based on geometrically exact beam (GEB) model. The present GEB model expressed by a mixed variational formulation could capture the geometrically nonlinear behavior of the blade without arbitrary assumptions. In previous results, correlation of airloads with structural moments for HART II was not as good as blade deflections. However, in present results, predictions of airloads and structural loads are fairly correlated with measured data.

The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis method by using the finite element method which can exactly analyze load-deflection relationships, crack propagations. and stresses and strains of reinforcements, tendons, and concrete in behaviors of elastic. inelastic and ultimate ranges of reinforced and prestressed concrete slabs under monotonically increasing loads. For t h i s purpose, the m a t e r i a l and geometric nonlinearities are taken into account in this study. The total Lagrangian formulation based upon the simplified Von Karman strain expressions is used to take into account the geometric nonlinearities of the structure. The material nonlinearities are taken into account by comprising the tension, compression. and shear models of cracked concrete and models for reinforcements and tendons in the concrete : and also a so-called smeared crack model is incorporated. The reinforcements and t,endons are assumed to be in a uniaxial stress state and are modelled as smeared layers of equivalent thickness. For the verification of application and validity of the method proposed in this paper, several numerical examples are analyzcd and compared with experimental results. As a result, this method can successfully predict the nonlinear and inelastic behaviors throughout the fracture of reinforced and prestressed concrete slabs.

In this paper, the effects of uncertain material constant on the nonlinear behavior of steel frames with semi-rigid joints are examined. As to the probabilistic model, a normal distribution is assumed to simulate the uncertain elastic modulus of steel material. A nonlinear structural analysis program, which can consider both semi-rigidity in joints of the steel frames and uncertainty in the material constant, is developed. Including the geometric, material and connection nonlinearites which are the parameters of nonlinear behavior of steel frames, probabilistic analysis is conducted based on the Monte-Carlo simulation. In the probabilistic analyses, we consider the three different cases for random variables. The deterministic analysis results are shown to be in good agreement with those of the previous research results in the literature. As to the probabilistic analyses, it is observed that the coefficient of variation(COV) of displacements increases as the loading increases, and that the values of COV are dependent on the structural features of the frames.
