This paper presented the nonlinear behaviors of the single-layered lattice dome, which is widely used for the long-span structure system. The behaviors were analysed through the classical shell buckling theory as the single-layered lattice dome behaves like continum thin shell due to its geometric characteristics, and finite element analysis method using the software program Nastran. Shell buckling theory provides two types of buckling loads, the global- and member buckling, and finite element analysis provides the ultimate load of geometric nonlinear analysis as well as the buckling load of Eigen value solution. Two types of models for the lattice dome were analysed, that is rigid- and pin-jointed structure. Buckling load using the shell buckling theory for each type of lattice dome, governed by the minimum value of global buckling or member buckling load, resulted better estimation than the buckling load with Eigen value analysis. And it is useful to predict the buckling pattern, that is global buckling or member buckling.

In this paper, we have proposed a phase noise model of fast frequency hopping synthesizer with DDS Driven PLL architecture. To accurately model the phase noise contribution of noise sources in frequency hopping synthesizer, they were investigated using model of digital divider for PLL, DAC for DDS and Leeson's model for reference oscillator and VCO. Especially it was proposed that the noise component of low pass filter was considered together with the phase noise of VCO. Under assuming linear operation of a phase locked loop, the phase noise transfer functions from noise sources to the output of synthesizer was analyzed by superposition theory. The proposed phase noise prediction model was evaluated and its results were compared with measured data.

This paper proposes a sampling-based sensitivity method for dealing with electromagnetic coupled design problems effectively. The black-box modeling technique is basically applied to obtain an optimum regardless of how strong the electromagnetic, thermal and structural analyses are coupled with each other. To achieve this, Kriging surrogate models are produced in a hyper-cubic local window with the center of a current design point. Then design sensitivity values are extracted from the differentiation of basis functions which consist of the models. The proposed method falls under a hybrid optimization method which takes advantages of the sampling-based and the sensitivity-based methods. Owing to the aforementioned feature, the method can be applied even to electromagnetic problems of which the material properties are strongly coupled with thermal or structural outputs. To examine the accuracy and validity of the proposed method, a strongly nonlinear mathematical example and a coil design problem for local induction heating are tested.

In this study, a simplified design procedure for friction dampers of a multi-story structure in order to reduce seismic response is proposed. To get insight for control effect of the structure with friction dampers is difficult, because of a nonlinear characteristic by a friction damper. Since a control force of a friction damper is influenced by coupling velocity between floors, adjoining modes are coupled. Thus structural response are derived by assuming steady-state response in resonance. As it is impossible that an exact solution is obtained for seismic load, first, a closed form solution can be achieved under harmonic vibration. Second, to convert a three-story building into a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) structure, modal analysis is performed. Third, an equivalent damping ratio is derived with utilizing closed form solution. And response reducing factor is proposed by it. Finally, friction force of a damper is designed for using response reducing factor, and then designed dampers are verified for seven seismic data. The nonlinear analysis results confirm the validity of the proposed procedure.

Saint-Venant 방정식은 수평규모가 수심규모보다 큰 천수흐름을 기술하는 수리동역학 모형으로 지난 수십년간 공학적 분야에서 널리 이용되어 왔다. 최근에도 기후변화에 따른 도시 홍수의 위기 증대로 홍수위기관리의 관심이 높아짐에 따라 홍수파(flood wave), 도시침수(urban inundation), 돌발홍수(flash flood) 등의 신속한 예측을 위한 Saint-Venant 방정식의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 도시와 같은 인공구조물이 즐비한 상황에서 천수흐름을 해석하는 고전적인 수치해법들은 다양한 불연속 지형들의 존재로 인하여 불안정하며 지배방정식의 정해로 수치해가 잘 수렴하지 않는 문제가 있다. 지난 수년간 이를 해결하기 위해 불연속한 지형을 안정적으로 해결할 수 있는 수치기법의 연구가 진행되어 왔으나, 정해로의 수렴성, 정확성에 관하여 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 수치해법의 주요 구조를 구성하는 Saint-Venant 방정식의 불연속한 지형조건에 대한 리만 문제의 정해를 연구하였다. 쌍곡선형 시스템의 특징을 고려하여 요소파들(elementary waves)의 공식을 유도하였는데, 질량과 에너지의 보존법칙에 위배되지 않으며 운동량이송부의 비선형성과 지형의 불연속에 의한 비엄격성을 고려할 수 있는 조건을 제시하였다. 또한, 유도된 요소파들을 바탕으로 L-M & R-M 커브이론(Han et al. 2014)을 사용할 수 있는 조건과 당위성을 증명하였고, 이를 바탕으로 Saint-Venant 방정식의 정해법을 구성하였다. 리만문제의 다양한 초기조건들을 바탕으로 모든 경우의 정해 구조를 조사하였고, 이를 통해 불연속 지형에 대한 Saint-Venant 지배방정식의 정해가 다수해를 갖을 수 있음을 보였으며, 이를 근사할 수 있는 수치기법의 전략을 소개하였다.

This paper presents an efficient and accurate method for nonlinear analysis of frame structures by idealized structural unit method. The main idea behind the present method is to minimize the computational effort by reducing the number of unknowns. An explicit form of the tangential elastic stiffness matrix of the element is derived by the principle of virtual work. The ultimate limit state of the element is judged on the basis of the formation of a plastic hinge mechanism. The elasto-plasto-plastic stiffness matrix of the element is derived by plastic node method and the post-ultimate stiffness equation is formulated under a simple analytic consideration. A comparison between the present solution and the existing experimental and other numerical result for unit column member and simple frame structure is made. If is clear from the result of this study that the present method is very useful because the computing time required is very small while giving the accurate solution.

The seismic responses of small-scale spatial frames such as school gymnasiums are usually evaluated using static analysis, although time-history analysis should be carried out to fully incorporate the dynamic responses of the structures against seismic motions. In this study, advanced static analysis procedures arc presented for school gymnasiums that will improve the performance evaluation against seismic motions. The seismic loads are approximated by equivalent static loads corresponding to the two performance levels; i.e., Levels 1 and 2 defined by the Japanese building standard. The importance of utilizing the eigenmode in the load pattern is discussed. Simple static analysis procedures are presented for evaluation of maximum vertical acceleration. It is shown that the static analysis for Level 2 input significantly underestimates the responses by dynamic analysis; however, the inelastic responses for Level 2 are shown to be successfully evaluated using the equivalent linearization that is similar to the $^{\circ}$Dmethod based on calculation of limit strength$^{\circ}{\pm}$ for building frames in Japan.

In this research, a multilevel decomposition technique to enhance the efficiency of the configuration optimization of truss structures was proposed. On the first level, the nonlinear programming problem was formulated considering cross-sectional areas as design variables, weight, or volume as objective function and behavior under multiloading condition as design constraint. Said nonlinear programming problem was transformed into a sequential linear programming problem. which was effective in calculation through the approximation of member forces using behavior space approach. Such approach has proven to be efficient in sensitivity analysis and different form existing shape optimization studies. The modified method of feasible direction (MMFD) was used for the optimization process. On the second level, by treating only shape design variables, the optimum problem was transformed into and unconstrained optimal design problem. A unidirectional search technique was used. As numerical examples, some truss structures were applied to illustrate the applicability. and validity of the formulated algorithm.

A new index for the buckling strength of non-structured plates is proposed. The external work or the deformation energy caused by the external loads or the boundary displacement controled by a load parameter is calculated along an equilibrium path of the member under consideration. If the second variation of the energy with respect to the parameter loses its positiveness, it defined as the limit of the stability. In contrast to the current method given in codes where the stability limit is evaluated by using only representative internal forces, the evaluation of the stability limit is always consistent even with the change of the distribution of the internal forces on the boundary. If the elasticity is concerned, the result from this proposed approach becomes identical to that from the classical methods.

The inverse algorithm of Point-Fitted Paraboloid Approximation is derived and used in reliability-based calculations. The algorithm of Reliability- Conditioned method is modified in the calculation of failure points such that nonlinear performance functions can be treated in like manner as linear cases without new formulations. SOSM/RC combined method results in probability of failure closed to specified one, and partial safety factors become nearly constant for a wide range of load ratio.
