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.

본연구에서는 단단한 구형 입자가 적은 변형속도에서 2차 유체로 간주될 수 있는 점탄성 용액의 disc-plate (비틀림)흐름에 놓였을 때의 측면 이동속도에 관하여 분석하였다. 이론적 계산을 통해 비틀림 유체 흐름에서 입자는 항상 중심쪽으로 이동하고 안쪽으로의 이 동속도의 크기는 유체의 성질과 흐름의 형태의 함수라는 것을 발견하였으며 이것은 2차 유 체에서 입자는 높은 전단속도 영역에서 낮은 전단속도 영역으로 이동된다는 예측과 일치한 다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 2차 유체 모델로 부터의 이결과는 이전연구자들에 의해 관 찰된 비틀림 유체 흐름에서의 바깥방향으로의 입자의 이동은 설명하지 못하였다.

Because of the difference between the actual and computed eccentricity of buildings, symmetrical buildings will be affected by torsion. In provisions, accidental eccentricity is intended to cover the effect of several factors, such as unfavorable distributions of dead- and live-load masses and the rotational component of ground motion about a vertical axis. The torsional amplification factor is introduced to reduce the vulnerability of torsionally imbalanced buildings. The effect of the torsional amplification factor is observed for a symmetric rectangular building with various aspect ratios, where the seismic-force-resisting elements are positioned at a variable distance from the geometrical center in each direction. For verifying the torsional amplification factor in provisions, nonlinear reinforced concrete models with various eccentricities and aspect ratios are used in rock. The difference between the maximum displacements of the flexible edge obtained between using nonlinear static and time-history analysis is very small but the difference between the maximum torsional angles is large.

In this paper, to satisfy the safety and economy immediately, we assume the center of lateral load in case the dynamic motion of the torsionally unbalanced structure is transformed into the static lateral load using modal analysis and proposes a method to control the design eccentricity in order to make the center of lateral load coincide with the center of strength. And when the structure is designed by proposed method, it is shown that the structure designed by proposed method does not demand excessive additional ductility in comparison with the structure designed by provisions of other seismic building code.

ASCE 7-10 defines the torsional irregular structure as the one that has large torsional responses caused by the eccentricity. The code requires that these structures should be designed abide by the torsional provisions. This study evaluates the influence of torsional provisions on the performance of the designed multiple steel moment frames with different eccentricity. In this study, 3D response history analyses are performed. The results show that the moment frame design according to the standard with torsional irregularity provisions showed larger performance as the eccentricity increased and the distribution of plastic hinges similarly to orthopedic structures.

The elastic and inelastic responses obtained from the experimental and analytical results of two RC building structures under the service level earthquake (SLE) and maximum considered earthquake (MCE) in Korea were used to weinvestigate the characteristics of the mechanisms resisting shear and torsional behavior in torsionally unbalanced structures. Equations representing the interactive effect of translational drift and torsional deformation on the shear force and torsional moment were proposed. Because there is no correlation in the behavior between elastic and inelastic forces and strains, the incremental shear forces and incremental torsional moments were analyzed in terms of their corresponding incremental drifts and incremental torsional deformations with respect to the yield, unloading, and reloading phases around the maximum edge-frame drift. In the elastic combination of the two dominant modes, the translational drift mainly contributes to the shear force, whereas the torsional deformation contributes significantly to the overall torsional moment. However, this phenomenon is mostly altered in the inelastic response such that the incremental translational drift contributes to both the incremental shear forces and incremental torsional moments. In addition, the given equation is used to account for all phenomena, such as the reduction in torsional eccentricity, degradation of torsional stiffness, and apparent energy generation in an inelastic response.

The performance of convective heat transfer in rod bundle flow was experimentally evaluated using a twist-vane spacer grid. A $4{\times}4$ square-arrayed rod bundle was prepared as the test section, with a pitch-to-diameter ratio(P/D) of ~1.35. To check the convective heat transfer performance, the circumferential and longitudinal variations in rod-wall temperatures were measured downstream of the twist-vane spacer grid. In the circumferential measurements, the rod-wall temperature toward the twist-vane tip showed the lowest value, which might be due to the deflected water flow caused by the twist-vane. On the other hand, the wall temperature of the longitudinal measurements near the twist-vane spacer grid decreased dramatically, which implies that the convective heat transfer performance was enhanced. A heat transfer enhancement of ~35 % was achieved near downstream of the twist-vane spacer grid, as compared with the upstream value. Based on the present experimental data, a correlation for predicting the heat transfer performance of a twist-vane spacer grid was proposed.

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.

In order to analyze the lateral-load resisting capability according to the core locations, three-dimensional structural analyses were performed for 20-story buildings with symmetric plan. Four analytical models for a center core, a single-axial eccentric core, and a double-axial eccentric core were constructed, and eigenvalue analyses, wind-load analyses, and earthquake-load analyses were performed. Torsion did not occur in the central core building, but the bending and torsion occurred in combination with the arrangement of the eccentric core, and the lateral-load resisting capability was degraded. The change in the wind load according to the eccentric core was small, but the maximum lateral displacement was found to increase greatly by the eccentric arrangement of the core. In addition, in case of the eccentric core, the seismic load was slightly reduced compared to the center core due to the decrease in the lateral stiffness, but it was found that the maximum story drift ratio increased significantly due to the torsional effect. Based on these results, the structural behavior according to the position of the core can be clearified and used as a guideline for core locations in the planning and design stage.

The forced convection heat transfer performance of a twist-vane spacer grid for a dual-cooled annular fuel assembly was examined experimentally. The twist-vane spacer grid was uniquely designed to enhance mixing inside subchannels and mixing between adjacent subchannels. For testing, a $4{\times}4$ square-arrayed rod bundle with narrow gaps between rods was prepared as the dual-cooled annular fuel assembly to be simulated. The pitch-to-rod diameter ratio of simulated dual-cooled annular fuel assembly was 1.08. The experiments were performed under the following conditions: axial bulk velocity, 1.5 m/s and heat flux, $26kW/m^2$. With regard to the circumferential temperature distribution, the lowest rod-wall temperatures upstream and downstream were measured at the subchannel center and the position toward the tip of twist-vane, respectively. With regard to the axial temperature distribution, behind the twist-vane spacer grid, the rod-wall temperature decreased drastically, and the Nusselt number was enhanced by up to 56 %. The present measured data indicate that the twist-vane spacer grid can effectively improve the forced convection heat transfer in the dual-cooled annular fuel assembly with narrow gaps.
