In this study, an improved energy-based nonlinear static analysis method are proposed to be used for more accurate evaluation of progressive collapse potential of steel moment frames by reflecting the contribution of a double-span floor slab. To this end, the behavior of the double-span floor slab was first investigated by performing material and geometric nonlinear finite element analysis. A simplified energy-absorbed analytical model by idealizing the deformed shape of the double-span floor slab was developed. It is shown that the proposed model can easily be utilized for modeling the axial tensile force and strain energy response of the double-span floor slab under the column-removal scenario.

The modeling of load characteristics is a difficult problem because of uncertainty of load. This research uses artificial neural networks which can approximate nonlinear problem to represent load characteristics. After the selection of typical load, active and reactive power for the variation of voltage and frequency is obtained from experiments. We constructed and learned ANN based on these data for component load identification. The learned ANN identified load characteristics for other voltage and/or frequency variation. In addition, the results of component load identification are presented to demonstrate the potentiality of the proposed method.method.

본 논문에서는 쉽고 빠르게 정확한 리튬 이온 배터리 모델을 구현할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 있으며, 구현된 모델을 MATLAB(R)/Simulink(R)환경에서 검증한다. 모델을 구현함에 있어서 절차를 간소화하기 위해 비선형 개방 전압은 배터리 충전 및 방전 전압의 평균으로 근사하고, 배터리 내부 비선형 파라미터는 방전 초기에 발생하는 과도응답을 측정한 이산 데이터를 곡선 접합하여 구한다. 구현된 모델을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 하고 이를 실험 데이터와 비교해본 결과, 평균 절대오차는 기존 연구보다 0.1% 낮은 0.091%로 측정되었다. 측정된 오차의 수준은 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 파라미터 추출에 필요한 시간을 단축하고 시뮬레이션 모델을 쉽게 구현 가능하게 함에도 불구하고 여전히 리튬 이온 배터리의 출력 특성을 정확하게 예측함을 보여준다.

The seismic performance evaluation and retrofit process are very important in old existing bridges. If the result is not appropriate. then a retrofit process are required. Among various retrofit methods, the seismic isolation is a very useful method. because it can be applied by replacing old bridge bearings. In this study, the effectiveness of seismic isolation is rationally verified. For this purpose, two seismic isolations used widely are selected and non-linear static and dynamic analyses are performed. The responses of existing bridges are compared with those of retrofited bridges by seismic isolation bridge for earthquake of target level. and seismic performances are evaluated.

The goal of this paper is to apply the multi-step Taylor method to a space truss, a non-linear discrete dynamic system, and analyze the non-linear dynamic response and unstable behavior of the structures. The accurate solution based on an analytical approach is needed to deal with the inverse problem, or the dynamic instability of a space truss, because the governing equation has geometrical non-linearity. Therefore, the governing motion equations of the space truss were formulated by considering non-linearity, where an accurate analytical solution could be obtained using the Taylor method. To verify the accuracy of the applied method, an SDOF model was adopted, and the analysis using the Taylor method was compared with the result of the 4th order Runge-Kutta method. Moreover, the dynamic instability and buckling characteristics of the adopted model under step excitation was investigated. The result of the comparison between the two methods of analysis was well matched, and the investigation shows that the dynamic response and the attractors in the phase space can also delineate dynamic snapping under step excitation, and damping affects the displacement of the truss. The analysis shows that dynamic buckling occurs at approximately 77% and 83% of the static buckling in the undamped and damped systems, respectively.

The ship sailing among waves are suffered the various wave loads that comes from its motion throughout its life. Because there are dynamic, the analysis of ship structure must be considered as the dynamic problem precisely. In the rationally-based design, the dynamic structural analysis is carried out using dynamic wave loads provided from the results of the ship mouton calculation as the rigid body. This method is based on the linear theory assumed low wave height and small amplitude of motion. But at the rough sea condition, high wave height, relatively ship's depth, is induced the large ship motion, so the ship section configulation below water line is rapidly changed at each time. This results in non-linear problem. Considering above situation in this paper, the strength analysis method is introduced for the hull glider among waves considering non-linear hydrodynamic forces. This paper considers that the overall or primary level of the ship structural dynamic loading and dynamic response provided from the non-linear wave forces, and bottom and bow flare impact forces estimated by momentum slamming theory, in which the ship is idealized as a hollow thin-walled box beam using thin-walled beam theory and the finite element method. This method is applied to 40,000 Ton Double-Skin Tanker and attention is paid to the influence of the response of ship speed, wave length and wave height compared with linear strip theory.

During earthquakes, buildings can suffer damage ranging from minor to severe, potentially leading to collapses and resulting in loss of life and property. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to evaluate the seismic performance of buildings. Current seismic performance evaluation techniques require significant time as they focus on individual buildings. Therefore, there is a need to develop evaluation techniques that can be applied on a regional scale. This study proposes a single-degree-of-freedom model with a nonlinear shear spring to assess the seismic performance and plan the reinforcement of reinforced concrete residential buildings. The nonlinear shear spring, defined by the T-SR-μ parameter, is used to simulate the nonlinear response of the structure. By applying 100-PEER ground motions to this model, the seismic performance of the buildings was evaluated based on the maximum inter-story drift ratio response. The applicability of the proposed technique was confirmed by comparing it with detailed models, where both models assessed the seismic performance of the buildings at similar levels. This results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately predict the seismic performance of actual buildings.

Nonlinear behaviors such as steep-fronted wave motions and a finite amplitude limit cycle often accompanying combustion instabilities have been numerically investigated using a characteristic-based approximate Riemann solver and the well-known ${\eta}-{\tau}$ model. A resonant pipe initially subjected to a harmonic pressure disturbance described the natural steepening process that leads to a shocked N-wave. For a linearly unstable regime, pressure oscillations reach a limit cycle which is independent of the characteristics of the initial disturbances and depends only on combustion parameters and operating conditions. For the 1.5 MW gas generator under development in KARI, the numerical results show good agreement with experimental data from hot-firing tests.

In the present paper, an infinite-depth unified theory is applied to the computation of the linear and second-order hydrodynamic forces on slender bodies. No forward speed is assumed, which is valid for some types of ships, like FPSOs and shuttle tankers. Strip theory solution, which is essential for the extension to theory is extended to unified theory, was obtained using NIIRD program developed at MIT. The linear theory is extended to the computation of the second-order mean-drift forces and moment. Furthermore, Aranha's formular is applied to the prediction of wave drift damping coefficients. From this study, it is proved that unified theory provides an accuracy comparable with 3D panel method for the second-order forces as well as the linear solution with much less computational effort.

The response of single story buildings and other case studies were investigated to observe trends and develop a better understanding of the impact of some design parameters on the seismic response of Concentrically Braced Frames (CBF). While many parameters are known to influence the behavior of braced frames, the focus of this study was mostly on quantifying energy dissipation in compression and its effectiveness on seismic performance. Based on dynamic analyses of single story braced frame and case studies, a bracing member designed with bigger R and larger KL/r was found to result in lower normalized cumulative energy ratio in both cases.
