Steel box girders are popular to the Practicing engineers for the its large Pure torsional constant. But closed box girders at-e susceptible to the eccentric loading due to the distortion of the cross section. Distorton of the box girder develops the warping normal stress and transverse flexural stress in the cross section and their magnitudes can be large unless internal diaphragms are installed sufficiently. In this study, stiffness matrix and equivalent nodal force vector are formulated on the basis of displacement method. Shape functions are directly derived from the homogeneous solution of the governing differential equation of the distortion. New finite element formulations were coded into a computer program. Several numerical examples were presented to show the validity of developed program.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the distortion of curved steel box girders. For the distortional analysis of steel box girders, two approaches are presented. One is the development of approximate formulas obtained by applying Ritz method. The other is the formulation of stiffness matrix which is derived from the exact solution of the differential equation for distortion. Distortional analysis is carried out by utilizing 3-dimensional elements of a structural analysis computer program (SAP2000). The present analysis focuses on the distortional stress and the effects of the diaphragm. The results of several example cases are compared with those by the Nakai, Sakai, Heins, and Oleinik's theory and get the effect of diaphragm spacing on the distortional warping stress of the curved steel box girder.

본 연구에서는 전기자동차에 사용되는 전자식 차동 시스템의 신경망 모델을 제안한다. 차량이 곡선도로를 따라 주행할 경우 내측 바퀴와 외측 바퀴의 회전속도가 서로 달라야 진동이나 뒤틀림 없이 완만한 선회 주행을 할 수 있다. 전기자동차는 그 구조적 특성상 각각의 바퀴가 독립된 구동원을 갖는다. 이 때문에 일반 엔진 차량의 기어식 차동장치를 대신할 전자식 차동장치가 요구된다. 이러한 차동장치는 차량의 구조뿐만 아니라 차량의 주요 파라미터인 조향각 및 속도에 따라서 비선형적인 관계를 가지고 있어서 해석하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 이와 같은 비선형적인 관계 모델을 학습 능력을 가진 신경망에 의하여 모델링 함으로써 제어에 적용할 수 있다. 이를 실현하기 위해 제작한 전기자동차로 곡선도로를 주행하여 다양한 곡률과 주행속도에 따른 내측 외측 바퀴의 회전속도 데이터를 획득하고, 데이터의 비선형 특성을 고려한 차동 속도 제어기의 구조를 설계한다. 이 제어기에 적합한 모델은 신경망을 이용하여 실측 데이터를 학습시킴으로써 차동기능을 수행할 수 있는 제어기를 구현한다.

The multihole blanking of thin sheet metal using progressive die set is an important process on production of precision electronic machine parts such as IC leadframe. In this paper, in order to investigate the influence of blanking order on the final lead profile and deformed configuration, simulation technique for progressive blanking process is proposed and analyzed by LS-DYNA. The results of FE-simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results. Consequently, from the results of FE-analysis based on the procedure proposed in this paper, it is possible to predict the deformation of lead and to manufacture high precision leadframes in progressive blanking process and these results might be used as a guideline to develop layout design system in multihole blanking process.

This paper presents a matrix analysis to get the torsional behavior of core structures with torsional reinforcements. Based on simplified assumptions, formulae for the forces and displacements of cote structures subjected to three typical load cases, i.e. uniformly distributed torque, triangularly distributed torque and a concentrated torque at the top of the structure, are derived analytically. The behavior of the cote according to the variation of reinforcement locations is investigated to estimate the optimum locations of reinforcements to minimize the core rotations and bimoments. The results by the program MIDAS-GEN have shown that this analysis can give quite satisfactory results for structural models with torsional reinforcements. Although three dimensional analysis by computer has come within reach as a normal structural design procedure, its use as an optimization tool may not be desirable in view of the expense and time required. Formulae that we presented here can be used to estimate the torsional rotations and forces of practical cote structures at the preliminary design stages.

When curing the composite, the fibers have little thermal deformation, but the resin changes its properties with time and temperature, which leads to residual stress in the product. Residual stress is caused by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fibers and resin during the curing process and the chemical shrinkage of the resin. This difference causes thermal deformation such as spring-in and warpage. Thermal deformation of composite structure is important issue on quality of product, and it should be considered in manufacturing process. In this study, a subroutine was developed to predict thermal deformation by applying 3-D viscoelastic model. The finite element analysis was verified by comparing the results of the plate analysis of the 2-D viscoelastic model. Spring-in of L-shaped structure was predicted and analyzed by applying the 3-D viscoelastic model.

This study used numerical modeling to investigate the stability of railway roadbed in areas with various underground cavities and rock conditions associated with mining activities. It compared combined loads from both passenger and freight trains with loads from only passenger trains. Stability was assessed with reference to the Korean government standards for railway subsidence allowance and railway warping repair. Sufficient stability regarding the railway subsidence allowance standard was not achieved when cavities were at depths of <5 m. The criteria for requiring railway warping repair were met when cavities were at depths of <15 m, depending on the rock fracture condition. This study provides the first report on systematic analysis land subsidence related to cavity size and rock fracture conditions associated with mining activities. We expect that this study could serve as an important reference for railway construction in mining areas.

A parametric study for varying the radii of curvature is performed with a curved tub girder bridge having three continuous spans. The bracing forces of top lateral bracings from the results of numerical equations are compared to those of 3-dimensional finite element analyses. New modifying factors applicable in computing the nominal member forces of top lateral bracings were suggested. The numerical equations were derived based on one girder system, and it is shown that the numerical equations exhibit some errors compared with 3D FEA results. The main reason for this phenomenon lies on the number of girders. The twin girder system has an external cross-beam between inner and outer girder. It also has larger lateral stiffness than the single girder system. Finally, the distributions by the torsion, bending, distortion, and lateral loading of the top lateral bracing forces were presented in this paper.

Cold-Formed C-section and Lipped C-section are commonly used as structural members of steel houses in Korea. Both are made of SGC41 steel. However, special Cold-Formed Sections with unique cross sectional shape have been developed and widely used in advanced countries. This research focused on the newly developed thin-walled Cold-Formed Sections which possess not only high strength and stiffness but also other advantages in construction. A series of compression tests was conducted to investigate the structural behavior of a compression member, including its load carrying capacity. Test results were compared with analytical study results.

The back-to-back and box-shaped headers used in light gauge steel structures have some disadvantages, i.e., construction efficiency and cost competitiveness. As such, cold-formed steel L-shaped headers have been developed and are used actively in advanced nations. However, this system has not been used in Korea because of inadequate investigation and adaptation efforts and lack of application example. Thus, this research evaluated the structural performance of L-header using buckling analyses and bending tests. Test results were compared using the AISI design criteria. Test results showed that local buckling and distortional buckling governed buckling behavior in gravity loads and uplift loads, respectively. These results were consistent with the calculated nomial strengths using the AISI design criteria.
