Current torsional provisions focus n restricting torsional effect of asymmetric wall structures by proportioning strength of wall based on the traditional assumption that stiffness and strength are independent. Recent studies have pointed out that stiffness of structural wall is dependent on the strength. This implies that actual stiffness of walls can be determined only after torsional design is finished and current torsional provisions may result in significant errors. To overcome this shortcoming, this paper proposes deformation based torsional design for asymmetric wall structures. Contrary to the current torsional provisions, deformation-based torsional design uses displacement and rotation angle as design parameters and calculates base shear for inelastic torsional response directly. Main purpose of deformation based torsional design is not to restrict torsional response but to ensure intended torsional mechanism according to the capacity design concept. Because displacement and rotation angle can be used as performance criteria indicating performance level of asymmetric structures, this method can be applied to the performance based seismic design effectively.

In this paper, 2D simple analyses were performed in order to predict the large torsional oscillations in a suspension bridge based on Makenna and Tuama model(2001). The existing model(Makenna and Tuama, 2001) has shown unrealistic results as the wind speed increases and frequency decreases. Furthermore, resonance could not be simulated by the existing model. Therefore, in this study, new model was proposed with a consideration of the torsional resistance. The vertical and rotational behaviors of the deck in the suspension bridge were analyzed. Analysis results showed that at first vertical oscillations were observed and it was gradually transformed to the rotation oscillations. With the consideration of the torsional resistance, it was shown that vertical behavior were stabilized as time passed. However, the rotational behavior was not stabilized and was kept until the end of analysis. Beat periods decreased while the wind speed increased. The resonance of the rotational mode was dependent to the rotational resistance. Obtained results could be applied for the design of the suspension bridge under the wind load.

준공 후 상당한 시간이 지나 내진설계가 되지 않았거나 내진상세가 이루어지지 않은 건물의 부족한 내진성능을 보완하기 위한 방법의 하나로 좌굴이 제한된 가새형 댐퍼를 적용할 수 있다. 이 방법을 적용할 경우, 기존 내진보강법의 불확실성을 줄일 수 있었음에도 불구하고, 댐퍼의 설계과정이 복잡하여 실무에 적용하기 어려웠다. 그러나 본 원고에서는 강성과 강도개념을 적용한 댐퍼의 설계법을 적용함으로써, 실무에서 쉽게 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 준공된 지 16년이 지난 비틀림 비정형 건물에 대한 내진성능을 평가한 후, 가새형 댐퍼로 보강한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 일방향해석결과 나타난 골조별 하중-지붕변위의 관계를 이용하여, 연약골조의 강성을 강한 골조의 강성과 일치시키고, 이 강성비로부터 댐퍼가 부담하는 최적의 내력비율을 정하여 내진보강을 수행한 결과, 가새를 설치한 방향으로는 가새형댐퍼가 비틀림 방지와 연성증대효과를 구조물에 부여하여 성능이 획기적으로 증가하였다. 또한, 그 가새의 직각방향 하중에 대해서도 가새를 설치함으로써 비틀림 강성이 증가하고, 가새와 코어벽체가 인장과 압축으로 횡력에 저항하여 횡저항 성능이 증가하였다. (2) 내진성능이 부족한 비틀림 비정형 건물의 내진성능을 증진시키기 위해 가새형 댐퍼를 적용함에 있어, 댐퍼의 강성을 이용하여 구조체의 비틀림 거동을 최소화하고, 연성을 증진시키는 방법을 체택할 경우, 실무자들이 보다 쉽게 적용할 수 있으면서 그 효과도 상당히 클 것으로 기대된다.

대형선박, 항공기, 초고층 건축물 등은 얇은 박판 형태의 보로 이상화하여 구조 및 진동해석을 수행할 수 있다. 이러한 형태로 이상화한 구조물은 비틀림 강도면에서 매우 취약함을 보이고, 굽힘-비틀림 진동은 단면형상에 따라 연성도가 심화된다. 상하 굽힘 진동은 탄성거동 영역에서 도심과 전단중심이 일치하는 대칭 진동(Symmetric vibration) 현상을 보인다. 그러나, 수평 굽힘 진동은 도심과 전단중심의 차이가 커질수록 즉, 연성도가 높아질수록 비틀림 진동과 복합되어 복잡한 비대칭 진동(Antisymmetric vibration) 현상을 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 연성효과에 의한 수평 굽힘 진동과 비틀림 진동 현상에 대한 연구를 수행하였고, 진동계산을 위해서 전달행렬법(Transfer Matrix Method)을 사용하였다. 수치계산은 첫번째로, 도심과 전단중심의 차이가 매우 작아 연성도를 무시할 수 있을 정도의 구조물에 대해서 일반적인 수평 굽힘 진동 현상과 비틀림 진동 현상을 연구하였다. 두번째로, 연성도가 매우 심할 경우에 굽힘-비틀림 연성 진동 현상을 Timoshenko 보의 이론과 Vlasov 보의이로네 따라 각각 계산을 수행하였다. 마지막으로, 첫번째와 두번째 구조를 결합한 경우에 대해서 굽힘-비틀림 연성 진동 현상을 연구하였다. 이 경우에 두 구조물의 결합부에서 비틀림 강성과 Warping 강성의 심한 변화로 인한 불연속 경계면이 발생하게 되고 이때의 진동해석을 위해서 보 이론에 기초를 두고 상당히 높은 정확도를 제공하는 Haslum[2] 등과 Pedersen[3]이 제시한 이론을 이용하였다.

As a rectangular wire Is inserted into edgewise brackets the wire exerts a force system three-dimensionally. The force system may include bending force in first and second orders and a torsional force in third order Analytical and experimental studies on bending force have been Introduced, but information about torsion is still lack. The purpose of this study was to estimate the torsional moment in the force system of rectangular arch wires through theoretical and experimental studies. Wires most frequently used for third order control were selected as study materials. Cross sections of 0.016x0.022, 0.017x0.025, 0.019x0.025 inch rectangular wires in foot different materials such as stainless steel(Ormco), TMA(Ormco), NiTi(Ormco), and braided stainless steel (DentaFlex, Dentaurum) were used. The torque/twist rate of each test material was calculated using the torsion formula. Torque/twist rate, yield torsional moment, and ultimate torsional moment were measured with a torque gauge. The torsion formula assesses that the torque/twist rate (T/$\theta$) is proportional to the characteristics of material (G) and cross section (J), and is inversely proportional to the length of wire (L). Most experimental results corresponded with the formula. The relative stiffness was calculated for reference to a logical sequence of wire changes.

In this stury, control performance of tuned mass damper (TMD) with torsional rigidity for an eccentric structure showing torsional responses is investigated. To this end, an eccentric structure subjected to earthquake excitation is used to evaluate the control performance of torsional TMD by varying installed location and torsional rigidity of TMD, To reduce computational time required for repetitive time history analysis of an example structure having non-proportional damping system due to TMD, an equivalent analytical model is used in this study. Torsional properties of TMD usually neglected in typical TMD are verified to be effective in reduction of torsional responses of the eccentric structure. In the case of eccentric structures, it has been seen that the center of a plane of a structure may not be optimal location of TMD.

Generally, the frame design of a vehicle is a critical technology that plays an important role in the racing and high performance sports car market. The high performance of race car frame means that it requires high torsional stiffness because it directly affects the cornering behavior of the race car. The optimal design for the frame of a low-cost single seat race car was carried out using the DOE (Design Of Experiments) with Taguchi's orthogonal array and FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis to secure sufficient torsional stiffness in this paper. According to the results by DOE and FEM analysis, the optimal design case produced improved 10.7% and 14.5% improvement in each stiffness-to-weight ratio and frame weight than in the early design step. Therefore, this paper shows that the optimal design with Taguchi's orthogonal array is very useful and effective for designing a tubular space frame of a low-cost single seat race car in the early design step.

There have been many attempts to make kart chassis domestically to lower the price of complete kart. However nobody made a successful chassis due to the lack of understanding the characteristics of kart chassis frame. In this work, a baseline chassis frame under the bending and torsional load is studied. Design target is that the baseline chassis frame is quite adequate not only for the beginners but also for the beginning racers. Results from the analysis are used as a guide to design or modify the baseline chassis with the goal of proper torsional stiffness. Minimum increase in weight is being forced. As a result, the baseline chassis frame was designed, made, and tested. Based on the design results, complete karts are being manufactured by the small 1 size domestic company and these karts are being sold and run in the market.

The basic mechanical properties of helicopter rotor blade are important parameters for the analysis of helicopter performance. However, it is difficult to estimate these properties because the most of rotor blades consist of various materials such as composite materials and metals, etc. In this paper, the bending/torsional stiffness for composite rotor blade of unmanned helicopter were evaluated through experimental and analytical studies. In finite element analysis, the bending/torsional stiffness were evaluated through the relationship of load-displacement and element stiffness matrix. The evaluated stiffness from the measured strains and displacements in bending and torsional test agreed well with the derived results of FEA.
