In this paper, the nonlinear parameter estimation method using the estimated hysteresis of each structural members was studied for the purpose of efficient seismic damage prediction and estimation of MDOF nonlinear structural model in the shaking table test. The hysteresis of each structural members can be obtained by the conversion of measured response histories into relative motions of each structural members and member forces. These hysteresis can be used to evaluate various kinds of damage indices of each structural members. The MDOF nonlinear structural model for further analysis(re-analysis) can be easily reconstructed using estimated nonlinear structural parameters of each structural members. To demonstrate the proposed techniques, several numerical and experimental example analyses are carried out. The results indicate that the proposed method can be very useful to assess local seismic damages of structures.

Contrary to an intact rock, the jointed rock mass shows strain-dependent deformation characteristics (elastic modulus and damping ratio). The maximum elastic modulus of a rock mass can be obtained from an elastic wave-based exploration in a small strain level and applied to seismic analyses. However, the assessment and application of the non-linear characteristics of rock masses in a small to medium strain level ($10^{-4}{\sim}0.5%$) have not been carried out yet. A non-linear dynamic analysis module is newly developed for FLAC3D to simulate strain-dependent shear modulus degradation and damping ratio amplification characteristics. The developed module is verified by analyzing the change of the Ricker wave propagation. Strain-dependent non-linear characteristics are obtained from disks of cored samples using a rock mass dynamic testing apparatus which can evaluate wave propagation characteristics in a jointed rock column. Using the experimental results and the developed non-linear dynamic module, seismic analyses are performed for the intersection of a shaft and an inclined tunnel. The numerical results show that vertical and horizontal displacements of non-linear analyses are larger than those of linear analyses. Also, non-linear analyses induce bigger bending compressive stresses acting on the lining. The bending compressive stress concentrates at the intersection part. The fundamental understanding of a strain-dependent jointed rock mass behavior is achieved in this study and the analytical procedure suggested can be effectively applied to field designs and analyses.

This paper presents a practical methodology that can analysis power flow and marginal factors based on optimal power flow (OPF) of power systems under restructuring environment. First of all, to evaluate useful marginal factors, nonlinear optimization problems of minimum fuel cost and minimum transmission loss are formulated and solved by nonlinear primal-dual interior point method. Here, physical constraints considered in the optimization problems are the limits of bus voltage. line overloading, and real & reactive power generation. Also, an evaluation method of marginal price and marginal transmission loss is presented based on sensitivities calculated by the two OPF problems. Especially, to reflect the cost related to transmission losses in the competitive electricity market, an analysis method of MLF (marginal loss factor) is pro-posed. Numerical results on IEEE RTS 24 show that the proposed algorithm is effective and useful for analysis of power market price.

The study examines the limit strength for steel cable-stayed bridges. A case studies have been performed in order to evaluate the limit strength lot steel cable-stayed bridges using nonlinear inelastic analysis approach and bifurcation point instability analysis approach, effective tangent modulus $(E_f)$ method. To realize it, a practical nonlinear inelastic analysis condoling the initial shape is developed. In the initial shape analysis, updated structural configuration is introduced instead of initial member forces for beam-column members at every iterative step. Geometric and material nonlinearities of beam-column members are accounted by using stability function, and by using CRC tangent modulus and parabolic function, respectively Besides, geometric nonlinearity of cable members is accounted by using secant value of equivalent modulus of elasticity. The load-displacement relationships obtained by the proposed method are compared well with those given by other approaches. The limit strengths evaluated by the proposed nonlinear inelastic analysis for the proposed cable-stayed bridges with tee dimensional configuration compared with those by the inelastic bifurcation point instability analyses.

이 논문에서는 비선형 빔방정식을 이용할 수 있는 현수교방정식의 존재하는 해의 개수를 조사하였다. 외부에서 주어지는 함수가 주기함수일 경우에 나타나는 여러 가지 성질들을 조사하였으며 주어진 항들의 계수가 상수인 경우 어떤 범위에서 몇 개의 해가 존재할 수 있는지를 조사하였다. Leray-Schauder degree를 이용하여 존재할 수 있는 해의 개수를 판별하는 근거로 삼았다. 특히 일정한 항의 계수가 변수를 포함하는 경우에 나타날 수 있는 변화에 대하여 조사하였다.

본 논문은 스피커 시스템의 이상적이지 못한 특성으로 인해 발생하는 비선형 왜곡을 분석하고 스피커에 입력하는 신호를 처리함으로써 비선형 왜곡을 감소시키도록 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 비선형 왜곡의 가장 큰 요인인 강성과 force factor의 비선형성을 변위에 관한 2차함수로 모델링하여 이것을 바탕으로 전처리의 여러 계수를 결정하며 변위를 측정하여 귀환시키는 대신 선형 운동방정식을 적용하여 변위를 예측하도록 함으로써 시스템의 구현을 간단히 할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 왜곡보상시스템을 하드웨어로 설계하였다.

The structural system of domestic high-rise apartments can be divided into two parts; the core wall system, which is composed of walls concentrated in the center and the shear wall system, which comprises a great number of walls distributed in the plan. In order to analyze the lateral behavior of each system, buildings with typical domestic high-rise apartment plans were selected and nonlinear static analysis was performed to investigate the their collapse mechanism. From the force-displacement relation derived from nonlinear static analysis, response modification factor was evaluated by calculating the overstrengh and ductility factor, which are important in the seismic response. The ductility of core wall system is small, but as it is governed by wind load, its overstrength is greatly estimated, and its response modification factor is calculated by the overstrengh factor. Due to a large number of walls, shear wall system has a large ductility, making the response modification factor considerably large.

이 논문에서는 미디언 필터의 선형 조합을 통해 임의의 주파수 특성을 갖는 필터 구조와 그 설계 방법을 제안한다. Linear-phase FIR 저대역통과 필터의 홀수번째 필터 계수의 부호를 바꾸면 FIR 고대역 통과 필터를 얻을 수 있는데, 이것은 필터 계수의 부호가 모두 양수인 두 개의 부분 필터의 차와 같은 모양을 가진다. 이 과정을 일반화하여 비선형 필터에 적용하면 LCWM(linear combination of median filter)필터는 가중 미디언 부필터(sub-filter)의 선형 조합으로 구성된다. 이는 선형 대수학에서 어떤 공간상의 임의의 벡터가 그 공간의 기저 (basls) 벡터들의 선형 조합으로 표현된다는 사실과 유사하다. 따라서 부필터의 필터 계수를 기저 벡터로이용하여 얻어지는 기저 행렬과 필터의 주파수 특성을 조절하는 계수 벡터를 구함으로써 LCWM 필터를 설계할 수 있다. 제안된 필터 설계 방법을 이용하면 특정 주파수 특성을 가지는 FIR 필터와 유사한 특성을 갖는 비선형 필터 구조를 만들 수 있다. LCWM 필터는 고대역 통과, 저대역 통과, BP(band-pass), BS(band-stop)의 임의의 주파수 특성을 가지는 필터로 설계될 수 있음이 실험을 통해 확인되었다.

Fatigue life prediction of matrix dominated composite laminates, which have a nonlinear stress/strain response, was studied analytically and experimentally. A stress function describing the relation of initial fatigue modulus and elastic modulus was used in order to consider the material nonlinearty. New modified fatigue life prediction equation was suggested based on the fatigue modulus and reference modulus concept as a function of applied stress. The prediction was verified by torsional fatigue test using crossply carbon/epoxy laminate tubes. It was shown that the proposed equation has wide applicability and good agreement with experimental data.

본 논문에서는 비선형구조물의 위상최적화를 위하여 개발된 요소 연결 매개법 (Element Connectivity Parameterization Method)을 이용하여 기하비선형 구조물의 고유진동수(Eigenfrequency)를 최적화하는 연구를 소개한다. 기존의 밀도를 기반으로 한 위상최적화기법은 비선형 구조물의 위상최적화를 수행할 때 약한 탄성계수를 가지는 요소가 대변형을 일으켜 전체 강성행렬(Tangent Stiffness Matrix)이 양정정성(Positive definiteness)를 잃어버리는 문제점이 있어서 위상최적화를 수행하기 어렵다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 최근에 요소 연결 매개법(Element Connectivity Parameterization Method)이 개발되었다. 이 요소 연결 매개법은 요소의 강성을 설계하는 것이 아니라 요소의 연결성을 설계하는 기법으로 이를 이용하여 비선형 구조물의 위상최적화를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 요소 연결 매개법을 동적인 문제에 적용하기 위한 연구를 수행하며 이를 이용하여 비선형 구조물의 고유진동수를 최적화 하는 위상최적화 문제에 적용하였다. 비선형 수치 예제를 통하여 기하 비선형 구조물의 고유진동수를 최대화를 통하여 기하 비선형 구조물의 강성최대화 문제와 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
