This paper developed the theoretical method to predict structural performances and weight reduction rates of a carbody when its materials should be substituted. For the material substitution design of the carbody, the bending, axial and twisting deformations are evaluated under the constant stiffness and strength conditions. For the design of the primary structures such as the center beams, the cross beams and the cantrails, the bending and axial deformations are investigated under the condition of the constant bending stiffness, the constant bending or buckling strength by considering both the material properties and the cross sectional shapes. The developed indices to measure the weight reduction by the material substitution give good informations on the weak and strong points of a carbody design.

A new method of measuring the thermal diffusivity of solid material at room temperature using photothermal displacement is proposed. The influence of the parameters, such as radius and modulation frequency of the pump beam and the sample thickness, was studied. In previous works, thermal diffusivity was determined by the deformation angle and phase angle as the relative position between the heating and probe beams. In this study, however, we proposed the new analysis method based on the real part of deformation angle as the relative position between two beams. From the zero-crossing position of real part of deformation angle with respect to the pump beam, the thermal diffusivity of the materials can be obtained. The experimental values for different samples obtained by applying the new method are in good agreement with the literature values.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the research trends and the present conditions of real digital texts on "Visual Transformation." For the purpose of this study adopted two different methods: meta analysis and case study. The research trends on visual transformation of digital text were investigated through analyzing the total of 167 literature by means of synthetic meta analysis. Relevant literature was categorized into three types of research: functional, dynamic, and interactional transformation. The type of literature and research methods in each literature were analyzed. The present conditions of real digital texts on visual transformation were investigated by means of case study. The well designed 12 e-learning contents selected and analyzed in terms of the analysis framework which was drawn by the research trends. The results suggested problems as follows in designing e-learning contents. Firstly, there were some cases that did not follow the basic design principles related to typography. Secondly, the content was just provided in each learning steps without consideration of design to enhance text comprehension in many cases. Thirdly, web technology adequately was not applied to design e-learning contents.

To secure the structural safety of structures and members against earthquakes, the plastic deformation capacity demand of members should be accurately predicted. In the present study, a method for the evaluation of the plastic deformations of members for moment frames was developed. To facilitate the practical use of the proposed method in equivalent seismic design, the plastic deformations of members were evaluated based on the results of elastic analysis, without using nonlinear analysis. The plastic deformation demands of members were formulated as functions of story drift demand, redistributed moment and member stiffness. Story drift demand and moment redistribution were directly determined from elastic analysis. The proposed method was applied to an 8 story-2 bay moment frame, and the predicted plastic deformations were verified using nonlinear analysis. The results showed that the proposed method could be used to accurately predict the member plastic rotations with simple calculations. The proposed method can be applied both to the earthquake design of new structures and to the performance evaluation of existing structures.

Upon installing a seismic isolation device on a nuclear power plant, the device takes on the suppression of seismic loads. This is expected to bring about a larger displacement than what is seen prior to the installation of the seismic isolation device. Depending on the displacement change, the seismic risk for some equipment can increase. Particularly in case of the piping system, which is used for connecting the structure isolated from seismic events with common structures, the seismic risk is expected to rise significantly. In this study, the limit state of the steel pipe tee, which is a vulnerability part of the nuclear power plant piping system, was defined as leakage, and an in-plane cyclic loading test was conducted. As it is difficult to measure the moment and rotation of the steel pipe tee using the conventional sensors, an image signal was used. This study proposed a leakage line and low-cycle fatigue curves using the relationship between the moment and the rotation of a 3-inch steel pipe tee.

This paper presents a new method to represent the secondary deformation effect using simple mass-spring simulation on the vertex shader of the GPU. For each skin vertex of a 3D character, a zero-length spring is connected to a virtual vertex that is to be rendered. When a skin vertex changes its position and velocity according to the character motion, the position of the corresponding virtual vertex is computed by mass-spring simulation in parallel on the GPU. The proposed method represents the secondary deformation effect very fast that shows the material property of a character skin during the animation. Applying the proposed technique dynamically can represent squash-and-stretch and follow-through effects which have been frequently shown in the traditional 2D animation, within a very small amount of additional computation. The proposed method is applicable to represent elastic skin deformation of a virtual character in an interactive animation environment such as games.

To conduct probabilistic seismic fragility analysis for nuclear power plants, it is very important to define the failure modes and criteria that can represent actual serious accidents. The seismic design criteria for piping systems, however, cannot fully reflect serious accidents because they are based on plastic collapse and cannot express leakage, which is the actual limit state. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly define the limit state for reliable probabilistic seismic fragility analysis. Therefore, in this study, the limit state of the SCH80 3-inch steel pipe elbow, the vulnerable part of piping systems, was defined as leakage, and the in-plane cyclic loading test was conducted. Moreover, an attempt was made to quantify the failure criteria for the steel pipe elbow using the damage index, which was based on the dissipated energy that used the moment-deformation angle relationship.

The three truss models(equilibrium truss model, Mohr compatibility truss model, and the soften truss model) based on a rotating angle is called the rotating-angle model. The three rotating-angle models have a common weakness: they are incapable of predicting the so-called "contribution of concrete". To take into account this "contribution of concrete", the modern truss model(MCFT, STM) treats a cracked reinforced concrete element as a continuous material. By combining the equilibrium, compatibility, and the softened stress-strain relationship of concrete in biaxial state, MTM is capable of producing the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures composed of membrane element. In this paper, an efficient algorithm is proposed for the solution of proposed model incorporated with failure criteria. This algorithm is used to analyze the behavior of reinforced membrane element using the results of Hsu test.
