본 논문에서는 단순지지된 일정체적의 정다각형 단면을 갖는 변단면 기둥의 정확탄성곡선(elastica)을 산출할 수 있는 수치해석법을 개발하였다. 정확탄성곡선의 미분방정식은 Bernoulli-Euler 보 이론으로 유도하였고, 미분방정식의 수치적분은 Runge-Kutta method를 이용하였다. 미분방정식의 고유치인 지점의 단면회전각은 Regula-Falsi method를 이용하여 계산하였다. 변단면의 단면 깊이의 변화식으로는 직선식, 포물선식 및 정현식의 3가지 함수식을 채택하였다. 또한 유도된 미분방정식을 이용하여 대상기둥의 좌굴하중을 산출하고 이로부터 최강기둥의 단면비와 좌굴하중을 결정하였다.

This study deals with the static and dynamic stability analyses of simple tapered columns with constant volume. The crosssections of column taper are the regular polygons whose depths are varied with the parabolic functional fashion. The hingedhinged end constraint is chosen as the boundary condition of the column. The non-dimensional ordinary differential equation governing free vibrations of such column subjected to an axial load is derived and solved numerically. From numerical results, the relationships between natural frequencies and section ratios are obtained, from which the configurations of dynamic optimal shapes of columns and the strongest columns are extracted.

The closed forms of consistent mass matrix with rotational inertia matrix are developed for free vibration analysis in space sutructures containing linearly tapered members with cross section of thin-walled I-sections. The exact displacement functions are used for formulating mass matrices. The very small slopes of the tapered member are used in usual practice, such that the series expansion forms of these are also developed to avoid numerical failure in vibration analysis. Significant improvements of accuracy and efficiency of free vibation analysis are achieved by using the mass matrices developed in this study. Frequencies of free vibation of tapered members are compared with solutions based upon stepped representation of beam element in the ANSYS. The mass matrices presented in this study can be used for the free vibration analysis of tapered and prismatic members.

이 논문은 일정체적을 갖는 양단고정 변단면 기둥의 좌굴하중 및 후좌굴 거동에 관한 연구이다. 기둥의 변단면으로는 직선형, 포물선형, 정현의 선형을 갖는세 가지 변단면을 채택하였다. Bernoulli-Euler 보 이론을 이용하여 압축하중이 작용하여 좌굴된 기둥이 정확탄성곡선을 지배하는 미분방정식을 유도하였다. 유도된 미분방정식을 Runge-Kutta 법과 REgula-Falsi법을 이용하여 수치해석하였다. 수치해석의 결과로 좌굴하중, 좌굴기둥의 평형경로 및 정확탄성곡선을 산출하였다. 또한 좌굴하중-단면비 곡선으로부터 최강기둥의 좌굴하중과 단면비를 산출하였다.

This study deals with the free vibrations of the elastica shaped arch with linear taper. The shape of elastica is obtained from the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. Differential equations governing free vibrations of such arch are derived and numerically solved to determine natural frequencies, in which three kinds of taper type and two kinds of end constraint, respectively, are considered. For validating the theories presented herein, the frequency parameters obtained in this study are compared to those of SAP 2000. As results of the numerical analyses, effects of end constraint, taper type, slenderness ratio and section ratio on the lowest four non-dimensional frequency parameters are extensively investigated.

The current trends in steel construction intend to use tapered sections to minimize as much as possible the use of excess material. This can be done by choosing the cross-sections to be as economical as possible, leaving the classical approach of using prismatic members. In addition, it is important to predict the buckling behavior of tapered member with large depth-to-thickness ratio in order to prevent the collapse of PEB system subjected to overloads. An experimental investigation of buckling behavior of tapered beam was presented. The primary test parameter was depth-to-thickness ratio and taper ratio. Using initial stiffness and load-carrying capacity proposed by current provision, the simple plastic hinge method using modified Yoda's model and finite element analysis, the prediction of a moment-rotation curve of linearly tapered member was presented. Moreover, comparisons between analytical and experimental data for moment-rotation curves were accomplished.

Natural frequencies of non-symmetrically tapered beams with simply supported ends were determined by solving the frequency equations. In the case of symmetrically tapered beams. the finite element method was adopted for frequency computation. Computed frequencies of tapered beams were expressed as functions of taper ratio. a. and sectional properties. ( m, n).

Numerical methods are developed for solving the elastica and buckling load of tapered columns with shear deformation, subjected to a compressive end load. The linear, parabolic and sinusoidal tapers with the regular polygon cross-sections are considered, whose material volume and span length are always held constant. The differential equations governing the elastica of buckled column are derived. The Runge-Kutta method is used to integrate the differential equations, and the Regula-Falsi method is used to determine the rotation at left end and the buckling load, respectively. The numerical methods developed herein for computing the elastica and the buckling loads of the columns are found to be efficient and reliable.

This paper investigates critical loads of tapered cantilever columns with a tip mass, subjected to a follower force. The linearly tapered solid rectangular cross-sections are adopted as the column taper. The differential equation governing free vibrations of such columns, also called Beck's columns, is derived using the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. Both divergence and flutter critical loads are calculated from the load-frequency curves that are obtained by solving the differential equation. The critical loads are presented as functions of various non-dimensional system parameters, namely, the taper type, the subtangential parameter, and the mass ratio.
