An optimization method is proposed for preform and billet shape designs in the forging process by using the Equivalent Static Loads (ESLs). The preform shape is an important factor in the forging process because the quality of the final forging is significantly influenced by it. The ESLSO is used to determine the shape of the preform. In the ESLSO, nonlinear dynamic loads are transformed to the ESLs and linear response optimization is performed using the ESLs. The design is updated in linear response optimization and nonlinear analysis is performed with the updated design. The examples in this paper show that optimization using the ESLs is useful and the design results are satisfactory. Consequently, the optimal preform and billet shapes which produce the desired final shape have been obtained. Nonlinear analysis and linear response optimization of the forging process are performed using the commercial software LS-DYNA and NASTRAN, respectively.

관로의 수리학적 홍수추적은 정확성을 기할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 2차원 해석을 할 경우 광범위한 관망의 개별적인 계산이 요구되어 계산시간이나 수월성 측면에서 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2차원 관망을 1차원으로 전환시키는 방법인 등가하천 개념을 도입하여 도시유역의 유출량 산정에 있어서 여러 지선들을 개별적으로 모의하지 않으면서도 실제 존재하는 지선들의 효과를 고려할 수 있는 방법을 개발하고자 하였다. 등가하천 개념의 관망 적용을 통해 등가관로의 수리기하조건을 유도하였으며 이를 이용하여 관망 간략화 홍수추적을 수행하였다. 등가관로 홍수 추적을 위해 Saint-Venant 방정식에서 유도된 비선형 확산파 방정식이 사용되었으며 이의 수치모의를 위해 양해법을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 등가하천 개념 적용을 통해 결정된 군자배수구역의 등가관로 수리매개변수인 파속 및 확산계수를 이용하여 확산파 방정식에 의해 홍수추적을 실시하였고, 그 결과를 SWMM에 의한 2차원 관망 해석결과와 비교하였다. 검토결과 등가관로를 통한 홍수추적결과가 실제 관망분포를 그대로 고려했을 경우를 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타나 등가하천개념의 도시유역 적용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this paper is to present a design procedure of a friction damper for controlling elastic and inelastic responses of building structures under earthquake excitation. The equivalent damping and period increased by the friction damper are estimated using ATC-40 and ATC-55 procedures which provide equivalent linear system for bilinear one, and then a design formula to achieve target performance response level by the friction damper is presented. It is identified that there exists error between the responses obtained by this formula and by performing nonlinear analysis and the features of the error vary according to the hardening ratio, yield strength ratio, and structural period. Equations for compensating the error are proposed based on the least square method, and the results from numerical analysis indicate that the error is significantly reduced. The proposed formula can be used without much error for designing a friction damper for retrofitting a structure showing elastic or inelastic behavior.

A newly derived O$_2$ Saturation Model which can be adapted to the design and study of Artificial Lung and Blood Gas Calculator etc. is introduced on the basis of Electrical Equivalent Circuits. The presented 4 stage and 2 stage RC circuits have good correlatons with actual chemical reactions of Hemoglobin and Oxygen. However, from results of computer simulations, 2 stage equivalent model is more accurate than 4 stage and conventional O$_2$ saturation models.

리튬 인산철(LFP, $LiFePo_4$) 배터리의 경우 다른 종류의 배터리에 비해 내부 파라미터가 비선형적인 단점이 있다. 일반적인 배터리 등가회로 모델을 적용 시, 비선형성으로 인해 추정 성능이 감소한다. 배터리 등가회로 모델을 기반인 확장 칼만 필터(EKF, Extended Kalman Filter)를 통해 SOC (State of Charge) 추정 시 추정성능이 감소할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 LFP 배터리의 SOC 추정 성능 향상을 위해 실시간 파라미터 관측기를 통한 배터리 등가회로 모델을 기반으로 EKF의 내부 파라미터를 분석하고 이에 따른 차등 모델을 제안한다.

In equivalent static nonlinear analysis and in energy-based design, the structures are generally transformed into an equivalent SDOF system. In this study the seismic energy demands in multi story structures, such as three-, eight-, and twenty-story steel moment-resisting frames(MRF), buckling restrained braced frames(BRBF) and a damage tolerant braced frame(DTBF), are compared with those of equivalent single degree of freedom(ESDOF) systems. Sixty earthquake ground motions recorded In different soil conditions, which are soft rock, soft soil, and neat fault, were used to compute the input and hysteretic energy demands in model structures. In case the modal mass coefficient is less than 0.8, the effects of higher modes are considered in the process of converting into ESDOF According to the analysis results, the hysteretic and input energies obtained from 3 story and 8 story MRF and DTBF agreed well with the results from analysis of equivalent SDOF systems. However in the 20 story BRBF the results from ESDOF underestimated those obtained from the original structures.

In this paper, we suggested the relationship between resistivity of coastal groundwater and NaCl equivalent salinity for the quantitative interpretation the results of surface/borehole resistivity and electromagnetic data. 38 groundwater samples having electrical conductivity higher than about 1,000 ${\mu}S/cm$ were analyzed to derive the empirical relationship between groundwater resistivity and NaCl equivalent salinity. We used Schlumberger chart GEN-8 to convert ion concentration from hydrochemical analysis to the equivalent NaCl salinity, and the portable meter to measure the in situ electrical conductivity of groundwater samples. From the hydrochemical analysis, relationship between the groundwater resistivity $(R_w)$ and equivalent NaCl salinity (Eq_NaCl) is expressed as Eq_NaCl=$5935.3551{\times}R_w^{-1.0993}$, and relationship between the groundwater electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) is expressed as TDS=0.721*EC. We believe these relationships are very useful to assess the seawater intrusion in western and southern coastal area.

One-dimensional equivalent linear site response analysis is widely used in practice due to its simplicity, requiring only few input parameters, and low computational cost. The main limitation of the procedure is that it is essentially a linear method, in which the time dependent change in the soil properties cannot be modeled and constant values of shear modulus and damping is used throughout the duration of the analysis. Various forms of modified equivalent linear analyses have been developed to enhance the accuracy of the equivalent linear method by incorporating the dependence of the shear strain with the loading frequency. The methods are identical in that it uses the shear strain Fourier spectrum as the backbone of the analysis, but differ in the method in which the strain Fourier spectrum is smoothed. This study used two domestically measured soil profiles to perform a series of nonlinear, equivalent linear, and modified equivalent linear site response analyses to verify the accuracy of two modified procedures. The results of the analyses indicate that the modified equivalent linear analysis can highly overestimate the amplification of the high frequency components of the ground motion. The degree of overestimation is dependent on the characteristics of the input ground motion. Use of a motion rich in high frequency contents can result in unrealistic response.

To evaluate the seismic performance of multi-degree of freedom(MDF) systems, repeated nonlinear response history analyses are often conducted, which require extensive computational efforts. To reduce the amount of computation required, equivalent single degree of freedom(SDF) systems representing complex multi-degree of freedom(MDF) systems have been developed. For the equivalent SDF systems, bilinear models and trilinear models have been most commonly used. In these models, the P-$\Delta$ effect due to gravity loads during earthquakes can be accounted for by assigning negative stiffness after elastic range. This study evaluates the adequacy of equivalent SDF systems having these hysteretic models to predict the actual response of steel moment resisting frames(SMRF). For this purpose, this study conducts cyclic pushover analysis, nonlinear time history analysis and incremental dynamic analysis(IDA) for SAC-Los Angeles 9-story buildings using nonlinear MDF models(exact) and equivalent SDF models(approximate). In addition, this study considers the strength limited model.

Though a nonlinear time history analysis may be provided to estimate more exactly the seismic performance of building structure, approximation methods are still needed in the aspect of practicality and simplicity, In converting a multi-story structure to an equivalent SDOF system, the mode vectors of the multi-story structure are assumed as the mode shape in elastic state regardless of elastic or elastic-plastic state. However, the characteristics of displacement mode are also changed after the yielding made in the structural elements, because the structure becomes inelastic in each incremental load step. In this research, a method of converting MDOF system to ESDOF system is presented by using nonlinear displacement mode considering the mode change of structures after the yielding. Also, the accuracy and efficiency of the method of the nonlinear displacement mode method of the estimate of seismic response of Mixed Building Structures were examined by comparing the displacements of the roof level of the multi-story building structures estimated from this converted displacement response of ESDOF with the displacement of the roof level through the nonlinear dynamic analysis of the multi-story building structures subjected to an actual earthquake excitation.
