변위 근거 유한요소해석을 사용하는 대부분의 위상 최적화 기법은 요소의 안정성 부족으로 인하여 체스판 무늬가 주기적 형태로 반복하여 설계영역 내부에 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 선형요소를 이용하면서 최적화 알고리즘의 안정성에 영향을 주지 않고 간단하게 모든 최적화 알고리즘에 이용 가능한 체스판무늬 형성 방지책을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 체스판무늬 형성 방치책에서는 먼저 각 선형요소를 구성하는 절점들의 부치분율을 설계변수로 선정하고, 요소내부의 부피분율을 설계변수로 표현하기 위한 선형 보간함수로 선형요소들의 형상함수를 선정하였다. 그리고, 설계변수와 등가 재료상수와의 상관 관계식은 평균장 근사이론을 이용하여 균질화된 재료에 벌칙인자가 도입된 관계식을 이용하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 순차이차계획법인 PLBA 알고리즘을 이용하여 위상 최적화문제를 해석하였다.

A bushing is a device used in automotive suspension systems to reduce the load transmitted from the wheel to the frame of the vehicle. A bushing is a hollow cylinder, which is bonded to a solid steel shaft at its inner surface and a steel sleeve at its outer surface. The relation between the force applied to the shaft and the relative deformation of a bushing is nonlinear and exhibits features of viscoelasticity. A force-displacement relation for bushings is important for multibody dynamics numerical simulations. For the nonlinear viscoelastic axial response, Pipkin-Rogers model, the direct relation of force and displacement, has been derived from Lianis model and the sinusoidal input was used fer Pipkin-Rogers model, and the affection of displacement with frequency change was studied with Pipkin-Rogers model.

본 연구에서는 화강토 지반상의 자립식 diaphragm wall의 거동을 연구하기 위하여 벽체의 근입깊이비, 지하수위 및 굴착조건(연속 및 단계굴착)을 변화시키면서 원심모형시럼을 수행하였다. 원심모형실험시 지반굴착은 흙과 동일한 밀도로 혼합된 zine chloride 용액이 배수되도록 밸브를 조작하여 실시하였으며, 굴착에 의해 발생되는 지반의 변형괴 벽체의 변위 및 휨모멘트를 시간경과에 따라 측정하였다. 실험결과, 벽체의 근입깊이비가 증가함에 따라 벽체의 휨모멘트는 증가하는 반면, 굴착과정동안 배면측에서의 간극수압 감소속도는 감소하였다. 최종 굴착단계에서 굴착후 시간경과에 따른 침하량은 굴착과정중의 침하？에 비해 5~7% 정도를 나타내었다. 최대표면침하량과 벽체변위를 굴착깊이로 정규화한 결과 최대 침하량은 벽체 변위량의 0.8~1.2배9평균0.91배)사이에 분포하였다. 굴착깊이로 전규화한 벽체변위와 근입깊이와의 관계는 지수함수식으로 제안하였다. 파괴면은 직선적인 형태로 파괴면내의 배면측 지반은 벽체를 향하여 하향의 변위를 일으키면서 벽체의 회전에 의해 파괴되었으며, 퐈괴면의 각도는 66~72.5$^{\circ}$정도로 이론적인 파괴면의 각도보다 크게 평가되었다.

This paper presents a fingerprint recognition algorithm using cross-correlation function. This algorithm consists of minutiae extraction, minutiae alignment and minutiae matching, where we propose a new minutiae alignment method. In our alignment method, the rotation angle between two fingerprints is obtained by using cross-correlation function of the minutia directions, thereafter the displacement is obtained from the rotated fingerprint. This alignment method is capable of finding rotation angle and displacement of two fingerprints without resorting to exhaustive search. Our fingerprint recognition algorithm has been tested on fingerprint images captured with inkless scanner. The experiment results show that 17.299% false rejection ratio(FRR) at 2.086% false acceptance ratio(FAR).

The accurate peak response estimation of a seismically excited structure with frictional damping system(FDS) is very difficult since the structure with FDS shows nonlinear behavior dependent on the structural period, loading characteristics, and relative magnitude between the frictional force and the excitation load. Previous studies have estimated that by replacing a nonlinear system with an equivalent linear one or by employing the response spectrum obtained based on nonlinear time history and statistical analysis. In the case that an earthquake load is defined with probabilistic characteristics, the corresponding response of the structure with FDS has probabilistic distribution. In this study, nonlinear time history analyses were performed for the structure with FDS subjected to artificial earthquake loads generated using Kanai-Tajimi filter. An equation for the probability density function (PDF) of the displacement response is proposed by adapting the PDF of the normal distribution. Finally, coefficients of the proposed PDF are obtained by regression analysis of the statistical distribution of the time history responses. Finally the correlation between PDFs and statistical response distribution is presented.

This paper presents geometrically nonlinear formulation of shell problems using the three-dimensional curved shell element, which includs large displacements and large rotations. Formulations of the geometrically nonlinear problems can be derived in a variety of ways, but most of them have been obtained by assuming that nodal rotations are small. Hence, the tangent stiffness matrix is derived under the assumptions that rotational increments are infinitesimal and the effect of finite rotational increments have to be considered during the equilibrium iterations. To study the large displacement and large rotation problems, the restrictions are removed and the formulations of the curved shell element including the effect of large rotational increments are developed in this paper. The displacement based finite element method using this improved formulation are applied to the analyses of the geometrically nonlinear behaviors of the single and double curved shells, which are compared with the results by others.

A new enhanced 8-node hybrid/mixed plane stress elements based on assumed stress fields and modifed shape functions has been presented. The assumed stress fields are derived from the non-conforming displacement modes, which are less sensitive to geometric distortion. Explicit expression of shape functions is modifed so that it can represent any quadratic fields in Cartesian coordinates under the same condition as 9-node isoparametric element. The newly developed element has been designated as 'HQ8-$14{\beta}$'. The presented element is compared with existing elements to establish its accuracy and efficiency. Over a wide range of mesh distortions, the element presented here is found to be exceptionally accurate in predicting displacements.

Evaluating nonlinear response of a MDOF system under dynamic stochastic loads such as seismic excitation usually requires excessive computational efforts. To alleviate this computational difficulty, an approximation is developed in which the MDOF inelastic system is replaced by a simple nonlinear equivalent system(ENS).Me ENS retains the most important properties of the original system such as dynamic characteristics of the first two modes and the global yielding behavior of the MDOF system. The system response is described by the maximum global(building) and local(interstory) drifts. The equivalency is achieved by two response scaling factors, a global response scaling factor R/sub G/, and a local response scaling factor R/sub L/, applied to the responses of the ENS to match those of the original MDOF system. These response scaling factors are obtained as functions of ductility and mass participation factors of the first two modes of structures by extensive regression analyses based on results of responses of the MDOF system and the ENS to actual ground accelerations recorded in past earthquakes. To develop the ENS with two response scaling factors, Special Moment Resisting Steel Frames are considered. Then, these response scaling factors are applied to the response of ENS to obtain the nonlinear response of MDOF system.

When designing a reinforced concrete member using nonlinear finite element analysis results, the bending moment at the critical section should be calculated. In this paper, a bending moment calculation method using the results of reinforced concrete finite element analysis(FEA) using continuum elements is presented and the optimum element size according to the order of the displacement function of the finite element is proposed. The bending moments calculated by integrating the stresses from the FEA are compared with the bending moments calculated using the static equilibrium conditions. In the method of integrating the stress, both the stress due to the reinforcing bar and the stress of the concrete are considered. In addition, various factors affecting the accuracy of the stresses calculated by the FEA were analyzed and the influence of the displacement function and the element size was verified. If the purpose of the analysis is to roughly observe the behavior of the members, it is appropriate to use the first order displacement function and the element size should be about 25% of the section height of the analytical model. When the bending moment of a member with high accuracy is required, it is suggested that the secondary displacement function be used and the element size be 12.5%.

In this paper, a back analysis program for analyzing the behavior of tunnel-ground system and evaluating the material properties and tunnel design parameters was developed. This program was designed to be able to implement the back analysis of underground structure by combination of using FLAC and optimized algorithm as direct method. In particular, Rosenbrock method which is able to do direct search without obtaining differential coefficient was adopted for the back analysis algorithm among optimization methods. This back analysis program was applied to the site to evaluate the design parameters. The back analysis was carried out using field measurement results from 5 sites. In the course of back analysis, nonlinear regression analysis was carried out to identify the optimum function of the measured ground displacement. Exponential function and fractional function were used for the regression analysis and total displacement calculated by optimum function was used as the back analysis input data. As a result, displacement recalculated through the back analysis using measured displacement of the structure showed 4.5% of error factor comparing to the measured data. Hence, the program developed in this study proved to be effectively applicable to tunnel analysis.
