It is very important that predict the inelastic seismic behavior exactly for seismic performance evaluation of a building in the performance based seismic design. Evaluation method of seismic performance based on the pushover analysis reflected in PBSE was developed by some researchers. For the evaluation of inelastic global and local seismic responses by pushover analysis exactly. lateral load distribution should be adjusted and reflected the dynamic characteristics of structural system and various seismic ground motions. And performance point should be determined based on the evaluation of reasonable deformation capacity of a building more exactly. An effective method based on the improved the adaptive lateral load distribution and the equivalent responses of a multistory building is proposed in this study to efficiently estimate the accurate inelastic seismic responses. The proposed method can be used to evaluate the seismic performance for the global inelastic behavior of a building and to accurately estimate its local inelastic seismic responses. In order to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of this method, inelastic seismic responses estimated by the proposed method are compared with those obtained from other analytical methods.

For an efficient finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) analysis of coaxial-probe feeding structures in radio frequency(RF) and microwave bands, an interrelation between equivalent source modeling techniques is investigated. In existing literature, equivalent source models with delta-gap or magnetic-frill concepts have been developed by many researchers. It is well known that FDTD implementation and computational accuracy of these source models are slightly different. In this paper, the interrelation between FDTD equivalent source models for coaxial feeding structures under the quasi-static approximation(QSA) is presented. As a function of FDTD equivalent source models, time-domain and frequency-domain responses of a coaxial-probe fed conical monopole antenna are calculated numerically. And comparison results of computational accuracy and efficiency are provided.

In performance-based design methods, it is clear that the evaluation of the nonlinear response is required. Analysis methods available to the design engineer today are nonlinear time history analyses, or monotonic static nonlinear analyses, or equivalent static analyses with simulated inelastic influences. The nonlinear time analysis is the most accurate method in computing the nonlinear response of structures, but it is time-consuming and necessitate more efforts. Some codes proposed the capacity spectrum method based on the nonlinear static analysis to determine earthquake-induced demand. The nonlinear direct spectrum method is proposed and studied to evaluate nonlinear response of structures, without iterative computations, given by the structural linear vibration period and yield strength from pushover analysis. The purpose of this paper is to compare the accuracy and the reliability of approximate nonlinear methods with respect to shear buildings and various earthquakes. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows: 1) Linear capacity spectrum method may fail to find a convergent answer or make a divergence. Even if a convergent answer is found, it has a large error in some cases and the error varies greatly depending on earthquakes. 2) Although nonlinear capacity spectrum method need much less calculation than capacity spectrum method and find an answer in any case, it may be difficult to obtain an accurate answer and generally large error occurs. 3) The nonlinear direct spectrum method is thought to have good applicability because it produce relatively correct answer than other methods directly from pushover curves and nonlinear response spectrums without additional and iterative calculations.

본 논문에서는 국내에서 아직 기준이 마련되지 않은 제진설계에 대한 접근을 소개하였다. ASCE 7-05 기준에 근거하여 국내 5층 규모의 철근콘크리트 신축 건물에 제진 설계를 수행하였다. 우리나라의 현행 기준을 만족하면서 효과적인 제진 시스템 설계를 위한 방법을 소개한다. ASCE 7-05 기준에서는 제진 구조물 해석 시 부재력이 공칭강도의 1.5배를 초과하지 않은 경우 경계비선형 해석을 허용하고 있다. 이 때의 제진 설계 프로세스는 기존의 중력하중 및 등가정적하중의 75%에 의한 단면을 가정하여 부재설계를 실시하고, 선형 시간이력 해석을 통해 제진장치 및 가새를 설계한다. 이후 우리나라 실정에 맞도록 보정된 인공 지진파를 입력하여 경계비선형 해석을 실시하고, 밑면 전단력 및 층간변위 등의 만족여부를 검토한다. 이 때 목표성능을 완전탄성설계 또는 유사탄성설계로 정하여 목표성능을 만족하는지도 검토하여야 한다. 본 논문에 적용한 신축 건물은 유사탄성 설계를 위해 경계비선형 해석을 실시하였고, 가장 효과적인 제진 설계를 위해 댐퍼의 종류, 설치방법, 개수, 변위 증폭비 등을 변수로 한 case study를 진행하였다. 해석 결과 목표성능을 만족하는 범위 내에서 가장 효과적인 제진 설계는 점성댐퍼, 이층 토글형태, 증폭비 2.0, 총 8개의 댐퍼를 설치하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is analyzed by the simulation of automotive steering system. The maximum equivalent stress of $2.2418{\times}109Pa$ and the maximum total displacement of 0.014929m are shown at the universal joint and its lower part respectively. As the minimum cycle of 34.047 is shown at the universal joint in case of fatigue analysis, it is possible to have greatest damage at this part. In case of natural frequency analysis at vibration, its frequency of 47 to 59Hz is occurred generally. The maximum total displacement of 0.5m is shown at handle on the natural frequency of 57 to 58Hz. And the displacement over 2m is shown at the lower part of universal joint on the natural frequency of 58 to 59Hz. As the basis of the simulation analysis of steering system, passenger's comfort of car body can be improved in the design of practical part and the design effect necessary to safe driving can be promoted.

In this study, improved capacity spectrum method (CSM) is proposed. The method can account for higher mode contribution to the seismic response of MDOF systems. The CSM has been conveniently used for determining maximum roof displacement using both demand spectrum and capacity curve of equivalent SDOF system. Unlike the conventional CSM, the maximum roof displacement is determined without iteration using inelastic displacement ratio and R factor calculated from demand spectrum and capacity curve. Three moment resisting steel frames of 3-, 9- and 20-stories are considered to test the accuracy of the proposed method. Nonlinear response history analysis (NL-RHA) for three frames is also conducted, which is considered as an exact solution. SAC LA 10/50 and 2/50 sets of ground motions are used. Moreover, this study estimates maximum story drift ratios (IDR) using ATC-40 CSM and N2-method and compared with those from the proposed method and NL-RHA. It shows that the proposed CSM estimates the maximum IDR accurately better than the previous methods.

In this study a series of centrifuge tests were carried out in dry sand to analyze the comparison of lateral pile behavior for static loading and dynamic loading condition. In case of static loading condition, the lateral displacement was applied up to 50% of pile diameter by deflection control method. And the input sine wave of 0.1 g~0.4 g amplitude and 1 Hz frequency was applied at the base of the soil box using shaking table for dynamic loading condition. From comparison of experimental static p-y curve obtained from static loading tests with API p-y curves, API p-y curves can predict well within 20% error the ultimate subgrade reaction force of static loading condition. The ultimate subgrade reaction force of experimental dynamic p-y curve is 5 times larger than that of API p-y curves and experimental static p-y curves. Therefore, pseudo-static analysis applied to existing p-y curve for seismic design could greatly underestimate the soil resistance at non-linear domain and cause overly conservative design.

In this study, the earthquake response of building structures with foundation uplift was investigated. The Winkler foundation model and two-spring model are widely used to represent the interaction between foundation mat and soil. While the analysis using the Winkler foundation model results in more accurate prediction, it requires a complex procedure and longer computation time. In this study, an equivalent two-spring model(S model) is proposed. The S model can represent the Winkler foundation model more accurately and the analysis using the S model is simpler and more effective. The S model is derived by simplifying the nonlinear moment-rotation relationship of foundation mat. The dynamic responses predicted by the S model gave a good agreement to those of the Winkler foundation model.

기계의 정밀도 향상을 위하여는 기계에 대한 보다 정확한 해석을 요구한다. 그러나 실제 기계 시스템은 마찰, Backlash, Saturation등과 같은 비서형 특 성을 가지고 있어 시스템의 해석 및 제어가 어렵게 된다. 특히, 축, 링크, 기 어, 풀리, 베어링등의 기계요소에서는 마찰로 인해 정밀도가 크게 덜어지고 있어, 마찰에 의한 동특성 및 제어는 많은 연구자들에 의해 관심의 대상이 되어 왔다. 마찰력을 고려한 기계시스템의 운동은 정지상태 근처에서 마찰력 의 변화가 심한 비선형 동특성을 보이고 있어 그 해석에 어려움을 겪고 있 다. 실제 마찰이 저속에서 고급 비선형임에도 불구하고 가장 널리 사용되는 형태의 모델로서 쿨통 마찰을 고려한 운동방정식 조차 비선형성으로 인하여 해석에 어려움이 따르고 있다. 마찰은 오랜동안 연구되어 오면서 Fig.1, Fig2 와 같이 등가선형점성 감쇠, 쿨통마찰, 정적마찰로 모델화되거나 이들의 조 합으로 나타내었다[1-5]. 마찰력은 시간영역에서도 연구되어 Walrath[7]는 Fig.3-a의 속도가 역전되는 지점에서 마찰토오크가 .+-.Tf를 공유하는 문제 를 고려하기 위해, Fig.3-b와 같이 동적마찰모델을 사용하였다. 최근의 연구 로서 Armstrong[7]은 마찰의 위치의존성을 고려한 정확한 마찰모델을 설정 하여 개루프제어에 적용, 좋은 제어특성을 확인하였고, Canudas[8]는 저속영 역에서 overcompensation시 limit cycle과 gain의 관계를 해석하였다.

To evaluate the structural integrity for the strainer under seismic loading the seismic analysis and design were performed for T-type strainer in accordance with ASME, Section Ⅲ, Class 3(ND). Since there are no specified design requirements for the strainer in ASME Code, the strainer body was analysed according to ND-3500, valve design. Flanged joints connected with PCS piping were designed according to ND-3658.3. And the criteria for the cover flange was governed by the Appendix XI. Both a frequency analysis and an equivalent static seismic analysis of the strainer were carried out using the finite element computer program, ANSYS. The frequency analysis results show the fundamental natural frequency is greater than 33Hz, thus justifying the use of the equivalent static analysis through which membrane and bending stresses are obtained in the critical points near the branch connection area. The results of the seismic evaluation fully satisfied with the structural acceptance criteria of the ASME Code. Accordingly the structural integrity on the strainer body and flanges were proved.
