이 글에서는 거시적 모델을 사용하여 전단벽체를 수치모델하는 방법에는 여러가지의 방법이 있으며 각기 그 모델들에는 장점과 단점을 지니고 있음을 보았다. 거시적 모델로 구조물을 해석하는 경우에는 전단벽체의 모델과 그에 맞는 반복이력모델의 선정에 주의하여야 한다. 이는 전단벽체의 파괴양상과 비선형거동 등의 복잡한 거동을 한개의 모델을 가지고 일률적으로 적용하지 못한다는 거시적 모델의 한계점 때문이다. 그러나 아직까지 계산기의 발전과 미시적 모델의 한계점을 고려한다면 구조물 비선형해석시 최선의 선택은 미시적 방법보다는 거시적 방법이라하겠다. 거시적 모델을 사용하여 구조물의 3차원 해석 프로그램을 개발한 예를 보았듯이, 3차원 비선형거동까지 고려한다면 거시적방법이 적당하리라고 판단된다.

Although the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is an advanced design approach, it does not accurately capture the interaction between individual members and structural system. A nonlinear inelastic analysis for the entire structure is required to solve this problem. According to many design codes of advanced countries, a nonlinear inelastic analysis can be applied to predict the structural behavior and strength reasonably. In this study, an LRFD design method using practical nonlinear inelastic analysis was proposed. Design examples using the proposed method waspresented, and the economical efficiency and adequacy of the proposed method was investigated by comparing the design results with that of the AISC-LRFD. It has been consequently demonstrated that the proposed method can reduce the construction cost through savings in steel.

The purpose of the study presented in this paper is to develope the general model for capture of the linear and nonlinear response of a flexible diaphragm building in which there are significant contributions from the out-of-plane walls. Two single-story single-diaphragm half scale reinforced masonry buildings were tested by researchers at the United States Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL). The first had a metal deck diaphragm. The second specimen had a diaphragm with a single layer of diagonal lumber sheathing, A multiple degree of freedom (MDOF) approach is adopted in this paper. The required stiffnesses and strengths of the components within this model are determined.

In this paper, a coupling scheme for applying finite element analysis(FEA) programs, such as, LS-DYNA and MIDAS/Civil, to a nonlinear soil structure interaction analysis by the boundary reaction method(BRM) is presented. With the FEA programs, the structure and soil media are discretized by linear or nonlinear finite elements. To absorb the outgoing elastic waves to unbounded soil region as much as possible, the PML elements and viscous-spring elements are used at the outer FE boundary, in the LS-DYNA model and in MIDAS/Civil model, respectively. It is also assumed that all the nonlinear elements in the problem are limited to structural region. In this study, the boundary reaction forces for the use in the BRM are calculated using the KIESSI-3D program by solving soil-foundation interaction problem subjected to incident seismic waves. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated with a linear SSI seismic analysis problem by comparing the BRM solution with the conventional SSI solution. Numerical comparison indicates that the BRM can effectively be applied to a nonlinear soil-structure analysis if motions at the foundation obtained by the BRM for a linear SSI problem excluding the nonlinear structure is conservative.

Methods of nonlinear structural design sensitivity analysis are developed in parallel with the nonlinear finite element structural analysis methods and numerically evaluated. Direct decomposition and iterative solution methods for the secant stiffness approach and direct use of tangent stiffness in the design sensitivity analysis phase are derived and presented as the methods of nonlinear structural analysis and design sensitivity analysis are closely related. From the considerations of theoretical and numerical behavior, the tangent stiffness approach is shown to be efficient as the intermediate results of structural analysis can be effectively used in the design sensitivity analysis stage.

Nonlinear aeroelastic characteristics of a two dimensional typical section model with bilinear plunge spring are investigated. Doublet-point method(DPM) is used for the calculation of supersonic unsteady aerodynamic forces which are approximated by using the minimum-state approximation. For nonlinear flutter analysis structural nonlinearity is represented by an asymmetric bilinear spring and is linearized by using the describing function method. The linear and nonlinear flutter analyses indicate that the flutter characteristics are significantly dependent on the frequency ratio. From the nonlinear flutter analysis, various types of limit cycle oscillations are observed in a wide range of air speeds below or above the linear flutter boundary. The nonlinear flutter characteristics and the nonlinear aeroelastic responses are investigated.

Determination of ductility demand and prediction of nonlinear seismic responses of a structure under the earthquake ground motions have become a very important subject for evaluation of seismic performance in the performance based seismic design. In this study, the system ductility demand and nonlinear seismic responses of the steel moment framed structures by the nonlinear time history analysis are estimated and compared with those obtained from the capacity spectrum method suggested in ATC-40 and proposed method that is an improvement on the capacity spectrum method using the equivalent responses derived directly from a multi degree of freedom system. the adequacy and validity of the proposed method is verified by comparing the results evaluated by the method proposed in this study and the results obtained from method suggested in ATC-40 to the nonlinear seismic responses of the example structures from the nonlinear time history analysis.

Industrial machines are sometimes exposed to the danger of earthquake. In the design of a mechanical system, this factor should be accounted for from the viewpoint of reliability to analyze a complex nonlinear structure system under random excitation is proposed. First, the actual random excitation, such as earthquake, is approximated to the corresponding Gaussian process for the statistical analysis. The modal equations of overall system are expanded sequentially. Then, the perturbed equations are synthesized into the overall system and solved in probabilistic way. Several statistical properties of a random process that are of interest in random vibration are evaluated in each substructure. Comparing with the results of the numerical simulation proved the efficiency of the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to develop the analytical method and to analyze the geometrically nonlinear behavior of suspension bridges. Two step algorithm is developed to analyze the initial profile under the deal load and the nonlinearity under the live load. Since the geometrically nonlinear effect is great comparing with the linear analysis, it should be considered in the analysis and design. The comparison between analysis and measurement shows that the new algorithm is effective.
