In the seismic designing of bridges, the pile foundation of bridge piers generally have been modeled to have a fixed end for its convenience and conservative designing. The fixed-end assumption, however, produces very conservative results in terms of the pier forces. Therefore, many other design methods are evolved to consider the flexibility of the pile foundation. In this study, the response spectrum analysis was performed for a bridge pier having a pile foundation. The shear force, moment, and displacement, which occurred at the pier column under an earthquake loading, were compared to analyze the effects of the modeling method, soil condition and the input earthquake response spectrum. In most cases, the fixed-end model gives larger design forces than flexible foundation models. However, when a long period earthquake is applied to the bridge pier on a soft clay foundation, it is found that the flexible foundation models give larger design forces than the fixed-end model. In the end, the reliability of several flexible foundation models was verified by comparing their results with those of a numerical analysis that considers the soil-structure interaction phenomenon in a rigorous manner.

Flexible pavement responses to vehicular loading, such as critical stresses and strains, in each pavement layer, could be predicted by the multilayered elastic analysis. However, multilayered elastic theory suffers from major drawbacks including spatial dimension of a numerical model, material properties considered in the analysis, boundary conditions, and ill-presentation of tire-pavement contact shape and stresses. To overcome these shortcomings, three-dimensional finite element (3D FE) models are developed and numerical analyses are conducted to calculate pavement responses to moving load in this study. This paper introduces a methodology for an effective 3D FE to simulate flexible pavement structure. It also discusses the mesh development and boundary condition analysis. Sensitivity analyses of flexible pavement response to loading are conducted. The infinite boundary conditions and time-dependent history of calculated pavement responses are considered in the analysis. This study found that the outcome of 3D FE implicit dynamic analysis of flexible pavement that utilizes appropriate boundary conditions, continuous moving load, viscoelastic hot-mix asphalt model is comparable to field measurements.

We developed a computational method on coupled dynamics of tracked vehicle on seafloor and long flexible pipe. The tracked vehicle is modeled as rigid-body vehicle, and the linked flexible pipe is discretized according to a lumped-parameter model. The equations of motion of the rigid-body vehicle on the soft seafloor are combined with the governing equations of flexible pipe dynamics. Four Euler parameters method is used to express the orientations of the vehicle and the flexible pipe. In order to solve the nonlinear coupled dynamics of vehicle and flexible pipe an incremental-iterative formulation is implemented. For the time-domain integration $Newmark-\beta$ method is adopted. The total Jacobean matrix has been derived based on the incremental-iterative formulation. The interactions between the dynamics of flexible pipe and the mobility of the tracked vehicle on soft seafloor are investigated through numerical simulations in time domain.

많은 공학자들은 기계 재료의 종류 및 형태에 따른 정적, 동적 특성 연구를 수행해 왔다. 특히 산업적으로 그 활용도가 높은 평판 재료에 대한 진동 특성 연구는 많이 이루어졌다. 최근에는 진동 특성을 해석하는 방법도 부분구조합성법, 감도해석법 등의 방법으로 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 한편 평판의 진동이 공기와 같은 매질로 상호 작용을 하며, 막힘이 없는 공간으로 음향을 방사하는 현상에 대한 연구도 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 평판 재료를 사용하여 기계 구조물을 제작하는 경우 많은 경우에 구조물간 결합에 의해 폐공간이 형성되고 이러한 폐공간에 의해 평판의 진동이 구조-음향 연성 현상이 발생되고, 이에 따라 평판의 진동 특성도 달라지게 된다. 이러한 구조-음향 연성에 대한 연구는 1978년 Wayne B.McDonald와 C.Kearney Barton, 1979년 R.Vaicatis에 의해 폐공간 내로의 음향 전달 현상을 연구하며 이루어졌다. 최근에 연구 동향은 이장명의 FEM과 BEM을 이용한 폐공간 내로의 음향 전달 현상을 연구하였고, V.B.Bokil에 의해 구조-음향 연성된 평판의 모드 해석 방법이 연구되었다. 한편 V.Martin에 의해 능동 소음 제어의 모델링을 좀더 정확히 하기 위해 구조 연성계를 고려한 연구도 수행되었다. 연구 결과 구조-음향 연성에 의한 평판의 고유진동수 변화를 구하였고 이 때에 경계조건을 만족하는 직교다항식을 이용한 Rayleigh-Ritz 방법을 이용하였다. 또한 이러한 해석은 실험과도 매우 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

To evaluate the performance of safety apparatus without the full scale crash test, the computer simulation is inevitable. But, to improve the accuracy of computer simulation, it is important to reasonably determine the input parameters in which the interaction of vehicle-guardrail-soil should be accounted for. This study is focused on how to enhance the reliance of the dynamic performance of guardrail obtained by computer simulation. Analyses were done on the sensitivity of output variables to the change of input parameters by using BARRIER VII of which the usefulness was proved on the barrier-vehicle impact analysis. Through the analyses important input parameters, which give sensitive effects to output of computer simulation, are found out, and methods to determine such parameters are suggested to improve the accuracy of simulation.

The response of single story buildings and other case studies were investigated to observe trends and develop a better understanding of the impact of some design parameters on the seismic response of Concentrically Braced Frames (CBF). While many parameters are known to influence the behavior of braced frames, the focus of this study was mostly on quantifying energy dissipation in compression and its effectiveness on seismic performance. Based on dynamic analyses of single story braced frame and case studies, a bracing member designed with bigger R and larger KL/r was found to result in lower normalized cumulative energy ratio in both cases.

The cylindrical Upper Guide Structure assembly of the reactor intervals wish the Core Support Barrel and the Inner Barrel Assembly is subjected to flow induced loads horizontally which include random pressure fluctuation due to turbulent flow and pump pulsation pressures. The purpose of this papers is to perform random vibration and harmonic response analyses fort flow induced loads. The dynamic response characteristics due to random turbulence and pump pulsation loads were evaluated using the lumped mass beam model. Especially the model considered the annulus effects due to water gaps existing between cylindrical structures such as the Upper Guide Structure Barrel, the Core Support Barrel, and the Inner Barrel Assembly. The effect of the Inner Barrel Assembly inside the Upper Guide Structure assembly was studied. The peak dynamic responses lot each loading condition due to the addition of IBA were affected by the natural frequencies of the structures. Therefore the peak dynamic responses of the structures should be conservatively obtained from evaluation of dynamic analysis for various loading conditions.

Of srategic importance nowdays is the development of high performance spacecraft bus. In this study, optimization for spacecraft structure is performed under the framework of coupled load analysis which is a branch of component mode synthesis with constrained mode and modal transient analysis. unlike the traditional method which uses the quasi-static table supplied by launch vehicle contractor, the present method adots the load results of previous coupled load analysis. It if shown that the proposed method can serve as a effective tool for the optimization spacecraft structure in the early stage of design and weight reduction by numerical example.
