Topology optimization problem requires numerous repeated evaluations of objective function and design sensitivity for elements within design domain with various density distributions. The recently proposed two-level condensation scheme(TLCS) is very promising for the construction of reduced system and for an accurate and efficient analysis concerned about eigenvalue and dynamic problems. We used the two-level dynamic condensation scheme for the analysis and sensitivity computation part in the structural topology optimization problem. The results of the topology optimization for the reduced system show the TLCS provides high accuracy and computation efficiency compared to the full scale system within engineering accuracy.

In this study, the reduced system for the dynamic analysis is proposed and the selection criterion of the primary degrees of freedom is presented considering the relation between natural frequency and external loading frequency. A well-constructed reduced system can assure the accurate representation of the dynamic behavior under arbitrary dynamic loads. For selecting the primary degrees of freedom of the reduced system, we employ the robust two-level condensation scheme of which the reliability has been proven through previous study. In the numerical examples, the reliability of the dynamic analysis based on the reduced system is demonstrated through comparing with those of global system.

본 논문에서는 다양한 음향 가진에 따른 음향 응답을 유한 요소법을 통하여 효과적으로 계산하기 위한 새로운 모델 축소법을 제안한다. 일반적인 유한 요소법을 통한 기계구조물의 응답을 구하기 위해서는 음향 방정식의 강성 및 행렬을 구한 뒤 이들의 조합을 통한 동적 강성행렬을 구한 뒤 역행렬을 구하여 다양한 주파수 응답을 구하게 된다. 현재 컴퓨터 하드웨어의 발전과 소프트 웨어의 발전에 의하여 더 많은 유한 요소를 사용할 수 있게 되었고 이로 인하여 더욱 정확하고 넓은 대역의 음향 응답을 구할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나, 아직까지도 아주 복잡한 구조물의 음향 응답을 구하기 위하여 유한 요소를 무한정으로 증가할 수 없는 경우가 많다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 일반적으로 모델 축소법(Model order reduction) 기법을 사용한다. 이 모델 축소법은 기본적으로 전체 행렬을 아주 작지만 효율적인 작은 행렬로 바꾸어 응답을 예측하는 기법으로 mode superposition method, ritz vector method, quasi-static ritz vector method등이 있다. 기존의 모델 축소법은 기본적으로 질량 및 강성행렬이 가진 주파수에 영향을 받지 않는 행렬이라 가정한다. 그렇기 때문에 경계조건이나 다공성 재료를 모델링할 경우 가진 주파수에 영향을 받는 강성행렬과 질량행렬이 만들어지게 되어 기존의 모델 축소법은 효과적이지 못하게 된다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 이 논문에서는 Quasi-static ritz vector method의 기본적인 개념을 확장하여 여러 개의 중심 주파수(Center frequency)에서 기저를 계산하고 이를 동시에 이용하는 Multi-frequency quasi-static ritz vector method를 제안한다.

This study aims to detect and to reduce the multipath errors which are main errors source in high precious surveying such as GPS-aided aerial triangulation and Car Navigation. which reference receivers being fixed, when kinematic receivers move continuously, multipath is performed using smoothed code measurement and pure code measurement in the network. Through this methods, 3D RMS errors are reduced into about 30% in the single differential code solution to the kinematic receiver. This is based on the fact that the network adjustment are performed at multiple reference receivers, but positioning is carried out by the single differential methods between a reference receiver and a kinematic receiver. So it was supposed that this methods reduced the correlation errors including the atmospheric errors using the nearest receivers and can be mixed with another methods.

This work presents an iterated improved reduced system (IIRS) procedure combined with sub-structuring scheme for large structures. Iterated IRS methods are usually more efficient than others because the dynamic condensation matrix is updated repeatedly until the desired convergent values are obtained. However, using these methods simply for large structures causes expensive computational cost and even makes analyses intractable because of the limited computer storage. Therefore, the application of sub-structuring scheme is necessary. Because the large structures are subdivided into several (or more) sub-domains, the construction of dynamic condensation matrix does not require much computation cost in every iteration. This makes the present method much more efficient to compute the eigenpairs both in lower and intermediate modes. In Part I, iterated IRS method combined with sub-structuring scheme for undamped structures is presented. The validation of the proposed method and the evaluation of computational efficiency are demonstrated through the numerical examples.

An iterated improved reduced system (IIRS) procedure combined with sub-structuring scheme for nonclassically damped structural systems is presented. For dynamic analysis of such systems, complex eigenproperties are required to incorporate properly the nonclassical damping effect. In complex structural systems, the equations of motion are written in the state space from. Thus, the number of degrees of freedom of the new equations of motion and the size of the associated eigenvalue problem required to obtain the complex eigenvalues and eigenvectors are doubled. Iterated IRS method is an efficient reduction technique because the eigenproperties obtained in each iteration step improve the condensation matrix in the next iteration step. However, although this reduction technique reduces the size of problem drastically, it is not efficient to apply this technique to a single domain finite element model with degrees of freedom over several thousands. Therefore, for a practical application of the reduction method, accompanying sub-structuring scheme is necessary. In the present study, iterated IRS method combined with sub-structuring scheme for nonclssically damped structures is developed. Numerical examples demonstrate the convergence and the efficiency of a newly developed scheme.

Using isogeometric analysis(IGA) gives more accurate results for higher order mode in eigenvalue problem than using the finite element method(FEM). This is because the FEM has $C^0$ continuity between elements, whereas IGA guarantee $C^{P-1}$ between elements for p-th order basis functions. In this paper, a mode based reduced model is constructed by using IGA and dynamic behavior analysis is performed using this advantage. Craig-Bampton(CB) method is applied to construct the reduced model. Several numerical examples were performed to compare the eigenvalue analysis results for various order of element basis function by applying the IGA and FEM to simple rod analysis. We have confirmed that numerical error increases in the higher order mode as the continuity between elements decreases in the IGA by allowing internal knots multiplicity. The accuracy of the solution can be improved by using the IGA with high inter-element continuity when high-frequency external force acts on the reduced model for dynamic behavior analysis.

This study proposes a new two-level condensation scheme for the construction of a reduced system. In the first step, the candidate area is selected for the construction of the reduced system by energy estimation in element-level. In the second step, primary degrees of freedom are selected by sequential elimination from the candidate degrees of freedom linked to the selected elements. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed method saves the computational cost effectively and provides a reduced system which predicts the eigenvalues accurately. Moreover, the well-constructed reduced system can present the reliable behavior of the structure under arbitrary dynamic loads comparing to that of global system. Time integration in a reduced system can save the computing time remarkably. Through a few numerical examples, the efficiency and reliability of the proposed scheme are verified.

Considering dynamic behaviors according to initial tension forces, geometric nonlinearity and the effect of higher eigen modes to participate in dynamic behaviors increase as initial tension forces decrease, and from phase portrait we can realize that period attractors are produced in many area with complexity. If initial tension forxes increase, difference between linear and nonlinear solutions will decrease and the first eigen mode dominate the dynamic behaviors and observing phase portrait, period attractors appear in certain area regularly. These results may offer meaningful informations to nonlinear dynamic analysis using modal reduction methods such as Lanczos modal analysis. And actually nonlinear dynamic analysis needs very large computational efforts. So, if we determine the number of eigen modes to take part in modal analysis corresponding to initial tension forces we will get more accurate data close to exact nonlinear dynamic solutions.
