부정류 해석프로그램을 이용하여 각 절점에서 갑작스런 유량의 변화가 일어났다고 가정하여 부정류 해석을 수행하였다. 각 절점에서 소요유량(demand)이 추가로 발생할 경우에 대해서 부정류 해석을 수행하였다. 추가 소요유량이 발생하였다는 것은 그 절점에서의 누수량으로 간주할 수 있으므로 실제 일어날 수 있는 누수에 대한 민감도 분석을 하여 센서의 설치지점을 선정한다면 보다 더 정확한 모니터링 지점선정이 될 것으로 판단된다. 다음과 같은 두 가지 방법을 통하여 모니터링 최적지점 선정방법을 비교하였다. 첫 번째는 한 절점에서 갑작스런 소요유량의 변화가 발생하면 그로인해 부정류가 발생한다. 이때 각 절점에서의 압력변위와 유량변화가 발생한 절점의 압력비를 합하고 절점의 수로 평균하여 민감도 분석을 수행한다. 특정 절점에서 유량변화로 발생한 압력의 변화가 다른 절점에 얼마나 영향을 미치는지에 대한 기여도를 부정류 해석결과를 이용하여 정량적으로 산정하는 방법이다. 특정 절점에서 유량의 변화가 생겼으므로 부정류해석 결과는 누수가 없을 때 최초 계산하였던 각 절점에서의 압력이 크게 유동하게 된다. 이때의 최고치와 최저치의 차는 압력변위이고 최초압력과의 비를 합산하고 절점의 수로 평균한 값을 비교하였다. 이렇게 계산된 값이 가장 큰 절점이 모니터링 지점으로 우선 선정된다. 두 번째 방법은 유량변화로 발생한 절점의 압력변위와 그 절점의 최초압력의 비를 산정하는 방법이며 부정류해석결과를 이용하였다. 한 절점에서 유량을 변화시키고 부정류로 인해 발생하는 압력변위와 최초압력의 비를 합산하고 절점수로 평균하여 민감도 분석을 수행한 것이다. 어느 절점의 압력변위와 최초압력의 비를 정량적으로 산정하여 민감도를 분석하고 비교하였다.

The paper presents an algorithm of selecting optimal locations for measuring displacements(OLD) to adjust cable tension forces during the construction of cable-stayed bridges. The rank for optimal locations can be determined from the effective independence distribution vectors(EIDV) that are computed from the Fisher Information Matrices(FIM) formulated with the displacement sensitivities. To examine the efficiency and reliability of the proposed algorithm for determining OLD, a simulation study on a cable-stayed bridge has been carried out. The results using FIM formulated with displacements are compared with those using FIM with displacement sensitivities through the simulation study. The effects of measurement noise and error in cable length on the adjustment of cable tension forces are evaluated statistically by applying the Monte Carlo scheme.

In this study, the contactless measurement method with a optical displacement sensor(ODS, ADNS 9500) was proposed to overcome flaws in a rotary encoder based measurement under particular circumstances, such as a slippage and a case of little rotational inertia. The performance tests of the optical displacement sensor using data acquisition board and National Instruments's LabVIEW program were performed to accomplish accurate displacement measurements and the performance characteristics according to measurement direction, speed, acceleration, height and surface types were discovered through the repetitive tests. The experimental results indicate that, in order to get an accurate in-plane motion, the height(distance between the ODS and the target surface) has to be maintained at the range of 2.4 mm to 3.2 mm and the sensitivity(resolution) should be modified and applied to the formulae for displacement calculation, considering its measurement direction, speed and surface type.

Damage detection methods using structural tests can be divided into two methods, i.e., static and dynamic. The static methods which use the stiffness properties of the structure are simpler than the dynamic methods. However, static approaches are very sensitive to the displacement measurement noises and modeling errors. The dynamic methods also have limitations in acquiring the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the high frequencies. In this study, a method for the structural damage assessment using sensitivity matrices is developed, in which the drawbacks of the static and dynamic methods can be compensated. Based on the measurement data for the static displacements and dynamic modal properties, the damage locations and the degree of damage are determined using the presented sensitivity matrix method. The efficiency of the proposed method has been examined through numerical simulation studies on truss type structures.

This paper alined at the development of a lateral drift control method that is able to quantitatively control the lateral drift of global node. For this, we applied an efficient partial reanalysis algorithm. By using this algorithm, we could recalculate the displacement and member force of the specific node without reanalyzing the entire structure when member stiffness changes partially. The theoretical concepts of the algorithm are so simple that it is not necessary to solve the complicate differential equation or to repeat the analysis of entire structure. The proposed method calculates the drift contribution of each member for the global displacement according to the variation of section sizes by using the algorithm. Then by changing the member sizes as the order of drift contribution, we could control the lateral drift of global node with a minimum quantity of materials. 20 story braced frame structure system is presented to illustrate the usefulness of proposed method. It is shown that the proposed method is very effective in lateral drift control and the results obtained by proposed method are consistent with those of commercial analysis program.

This study presents a technique to control quantitatively lateral drift of RC tall frameworks subject to lateral loads. To this end, lateral drift constraints are established by introducing approximation concept that preserves the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems. Also the relationships of sectional properties are established to reduce the number of design variables and resizing technique of member is developed under the 'constant-shape' assumption. Specifically, the methodology of dynamic displacement sensitivity analysis is developed to formulate the approximated lateral displacement constraints. Three types of 10 and 50 story RC framework models are considered to illustrate the features of dynamic stiffness-based optimal design technique proposed in this study.

This study presents the effective stiffness-based optimal technique to control Quantitatively lateral drift for shear wall-frame structure system using sensitivity analysis. To this end, the element stiffness matrices are constituted to solve the compatibility problem of displacement degree of freedom between the frame and shear wall. Also, lateral drift constraint to introduce the approximation concept that can preserve the generality of the mathematical programming and can effectively solve the large scaled problems is established. And, the section property relationships for shear wall and frame members are considered in order to reduce the number of design variables and differentiate easily the stiffness matrices. Specifically, constant-shape assumption which is uniformly varying in size during optimal process is applied in frame structure. The thickness or length of shear wall can be changed depending on user's intent. Two types of 20 story shear wall-frame structure system are presented to illustrate the features of the stiffness-based optimal design technique.

One of the major disadvantages of isogeometric analysis(IGA) is that local refinement is nearly impossible in a conventional manner because of the tensor product nature in NURBS. In this research, we investigate a local refinement scheme for isogeometric analysis, named multi-resolution approach where different resolutions are employed at each subdomain, using h-refinement relation to endow displacement compatibility on an interface of subdomains. Then, we develop shape sensitivity analysis possessing same compatibility condition as in the analysis. Numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the method in analysis especially stress concentration problem and accurate sensitivity results which is also compatible on the interface.

This study develops the module to find the lateral stiffness influence matrix of each story and performs the displacement sensitivity analysis by virtual load method for the efficiency of optimal design using lateral stiffness influence matrix. Also, resizing technique based on the estimated lateral stiffness increment factors is developed to apply directly the results of optimal design. To this end, resizing technique is divided into the continuous and discrete section design methods. And then the relationships between section properties and section size are established. Specifically, an initial design under strength constraints is first performed, and then the lateral load resistant system is designed to control lateral displacements yet exceeding the drift criteria. Two types of 45-story three dimensional structures we presented to illustrate the features of the lateral drift control and resizing technique for tall buildings proposed in this study.

Minimum weight design of the boom of an excavator with stress and displacement constraints was performed. The procedure of analysis consists of the following steps. The finite element model of the boom was built up by using 227 triangular plate elements each of which has three nodes. And then the finite element program was implemented and its accuracy was verified by comparing its results with those of the commercial structural analysis package-ANSYS 4.4A. For the constraints of stresses and displacements, the design sensitivities of those were computed using direct differentiation method. To verify the reliability of them the results were compared with those of the finite difference method. The optimum design value was obtained by using PLBA(Pshenichny-Lim-Belegundu-Arora)non-linear optimization program which adopts the active set strategy. Using the above results, minimum weight design of an excavator boom showed an effect of 27% reduction in weight.
