비선형 정적 해석법(NSPs)은 최근 구조물의 지진해석방법으로서 그 사용성을 인정받고 있다. 비선형 정적 해석법은 직관적으로 구조물의 지진해석을 수행할 수 있는 등의 장점으로 빌딩구조물의 지진해석법으로 널리 사용되고 있지만, 기본 진동모드에 의해서 구조물의 거동이 지배되지 않는 구조물의 경우에는 그 사용성에 대한 연구가 매우 제한적이다. 이를 개선하기 위한 고차모드의 기여분을 반영할 수 있는 비선형 정적 해석법들이 제시 되었지만, 교량 구조물에 사용함에 있어서는 여전히 지진의 특성에 따라 그 사용성 및 신뢰성이 크게 변화하는 문제가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 지진의 특성을 고려할 수 있는 두가지 지수를 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 비선형정적 해석법의 적용성을 사용단계에서 알아 낼 수 있는지에 대한 연구를 진행하였다.

In this study, the performance of the modified sliding mode control proposed in the previous study is evaluated for seismic response control of nonlinear hysteretic structures. Modified sliding mode control(MSMC) utilizes the target derivative of Lyapunov function in order to calculate control force, and its performance was evaluated only lot linear structures in the previous study. However, considering that most structures subject to strong earthquake show nonlinear hysteretic behivior, the results from the previous study have limitations in practical application. The results from numerical analyses of single degree of freedom systems and base isolated system, which were described using Bouc-Wen model, indicate that the proposed MSMC algorithm shows better control performance than the existing sliding mode controller.

Fluid/structure interaction (FSI) analysis is necessary to predict the response of a system in which aerodynamic pressure causes deformation of the structure, and vice versa. In dealing with a nonlinear behavior of the structure, however, a simple iterative algorithm of aerodynamic analysis with structural analysis yields no accurate results since aerodynamic pressure need to be changed in accordance with the deformation of structures. In this study, we explore an efficient and accurate method for integrating FSI analysis into structural nonlinear systems. During the course of nonlinear structural analysis, loading conditions are periodically updated by aerodynamic analysis. The accuracy and efficiency of the method is demonstrated with a high-aspect-ratio flexible wing of Global Hawk.

Seismic performance evaluation of structure requires an estimation of the structural performance in terms of displacement demand imposed by earthquakes on the structure. Incremental Dynamic Analysis(IDA) is a analysis method that has recently emerged to estimate structural performance under earthquakes. This method can obtained the entire range of structural performance from the linear elastic stage to yielding and finally collapse by subjecting the structure to increasing levels of ground acceleration. Most structures are expected to deform beyond the limit of linearly elastic behavior when subjected to strong ground motion. The nonlinear response history analysis(NRHA) among various nonlinear analysis methods is the most accurate to compute seismic performance of structures, but it is time-consuming and necessitate more efforts. The nonlinear approximate methods, which is more practical and reliable tools for predicting seismic behavior of structures, are extensively studied. The uncoupled modal response history analysis(UMRHA) is a method which can find the nonlinear reponse of the structures for ESDF from the pushover curve using NRHA or response spectrum. The direct spectrum analysis(DSA) is approximate nonlinear method to evaluate nonlinear response of structures, without iterative computations, given by the structural linear vibration period and yield strength from the pushover analysis. In this study, the practicality and the reliability of seismic performance of approximate nonlinear methods for incremental dynamic analysis of mixed building structures are to be compared.

The modified arc-length algorithms for the automatic incremental solution of nonlinear finite element equations proposed by Riks are presented, which comprise the cylindrical arc-length method and the normal arc-length method. These methods are developed to trace the nonlinear path of large displacement problems such as a pre and post bucking/collapse response of general structures. These methods are applied to analyse the nonlinear behavior of arch and shell problems in parallel with the standard and modified Newton-Raphson method.

본 논문에서는 표면효과와 비선형 탄성효과를 고려한 FCC 나노박막의 순차적 멀티스케일 해석 모델을 제시한다. 표면에서의 구성방정식은 표면응력과 표면탄성계수를 이용하여 선형으로 표시되며, 표면효과를 나타내기 위한 표면물성들은 EAM 포텐셜을 이용한 원자적 계산 방법으로 계산된다. 두께가 얇은 나노박막은 표면응력으로 인하여 면내 방향으로 수축 또는 인장의 변형이 발생하게 된다. 나노박막의 평형상태에서의 변형율은 두께가 얇은 박막의 경우 재료가 선형 탄성 영역을 벗어나는 값을 가지는 경우가 많으므로 나노박막의 해석시 벌크 영역의 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려해야 한다. 이러한 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려하기 위해 본 연구에서는 FCC 구조를 가지는 금속의 비선형 탄성 모델을 제시하고, EAM 포텐셜로 계산된 응력과 탄성 계수를 이용하여 매칭 기법을 통하여 비선형 탄성 모델의 계수들을 결정한다. 또한 Cauchy-Born Rule 모델과 분자동역학 전산모사를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 비선형 탄성 모델에 대한 검증을 수행한다.

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.

The accurate peak response estimation of a seismically excited structure with frictional damping system(FDS) is very difficult since the structure with FDS shows nonlinear behavior dependent on the structural period, loading characteristics, and relative magnitude between the frictional force and the excitation load. Previous studies have estimated that by replacing a nonlinear system with an equivalent linear one or by employing the response spectrum obtained based on nonlinear time history and statistical analysis. In the case that an earthquake load is defined with probabilistic characteristics, the corresponding response of the structure with FDS has probabilistic distribution. In this study, nonlinear time history analyses were performed for the structure with FDS subjected to artificial earthquake loads generated using Kanai-Tajimi filter. An equation for the probability density function (PDF) of the displacement response is proposed by adapting the PDF of the normal distribution. Finally, coefficients of the proposed PDF are obtained by regression analysis of the statistical distribution of the time history responses. Finally the correlation between PDFs and statistical response distribution is presented.

This paper presents a method to apply the linear goal programming, which has rarely been used to the structural opimization problem due to its unique formulation, to large scale nonlinear structural optimization. The method can be used as a multicriteria optimization tool since goal programming removes the difficulty in defining an objective function and constraints. The method uses the finite element analysis, linear goal programming techniques and successive linearization to obtain the solution for the nonlinear goal optimization problems. The general formulation of the structural optimization problem into a nonlinear goal programming form is presented. The successive linearization method for the nonlinear goal optimization problem is discussed. To demonstrate the validity of the method, as a design tool, the minimum weight structural optimization problems with stress constraints are solved for the cases of 10, 25 and 200 trusses and compared with the results of the other works.
