The tension leg platform (TLP) is a kind of compliant structures, and is also a type of moored stable platform with a buoyancy exceeding the weight because of having tensioned vertical anchor cables. In this paper, among the various kinds of tension leg structures, Deep Oil Technology (DOT) TLP was analyzed because it has large-displacement portions of the immersed surface such as vertical corner pontoons and small-diameter elongated members such as cross-bracing. It also has results of hydraulic model tests, comparable with theorectical analysis. Because of the vertical axes of symmetry in the three vertical buoyant legs and because there are no larger horizontal buoyant members between these three vertical members, it was decided to develop a numerical algorithm which would predict the dynamic response of the DOT TLP using the previously developed numerical algorithm Floating Vessel Response Simulation (FVRS) for vertically axisymmetric bodies of revolution. In addition, a linearized hydroelastic Morison equation subroutine would be developed to account for the hydrodynamic pressure forces on the small member cross bracing. Interaction between the large buoyant members or small member cross bracings is considered to be negligible and is not included in the analysis. The dynamic response of the DOT TLP in the surge mode is compared with the results of the TLP algorithm for various combinations of diffraction and Morison forces and moments. The results which include the Morison equation are better than the results for diffraction only. This is because the vertically axisymmetric buoyant members are only marginally large enough to consider diffractions effects. The prototype TLP results are expected to be more inertially dominated.

This study is a research on the dynamic characteristics of non-linear dynamic vibration absorber in which harmonic motion is applied to the foundation of the main system. The amplitude ratio of the system with non-linear dynamic vibration absorber was obtained by harmonic balance methods and the unstable region was determined by stability analysis. As a result of study, the amplitude ratio decreases as mass ratio increases.

In this study, the transition Reynolds number of compressible axi-symmetric sharp cone boundary layer is predicted by using a linear stability theory and the -method. The compressible linear stability equation for sharp cone boundary layer was derived from the governing equations on the body-intrinsic axi-symmetric coordinate system. The numerical analysis code for the stability equation was developed based on a second-order accurate finite-difference method. Stability characteristics and amplification rate of two-dimensional second mode disturbance for the sharp cone boundary layer were calculated from the analysis code and the numerical code was validated by comparing the results with experimental data. Transition prediction was performed by application of the -method with N=10. From comparison with wind tunnel experiments and flight tests data, capability of the transition prediction of this study is confirmed for the sharp cone boundary layers which have an edge Mach number between 4 and 8. In addition, effect of wall cooling on the stability of disturbance in the boundary layer and transition position is investigated.

This paper presents a boundary element method for obtaining approximate solutions of 2-dimensional consolidation problems based on the Biot's linear theory. Laplace transform is applied to differential equation system in order to eliminate the time dependency. The boundary integral equations in transformed space are formulated and the fundamental solutions are shown in a closed form. In order to convert the transformed solutions to the ones in real space, the Hosono's numerical Laplace transform inversion method is applied. As a numerical example, a half-space consolidation problem subjected to a strip local load is selected and the applicability of the method is demonstrated through the comparison with the exact solutions.

The nonlinear modal interaction of an autoparametric system under a broadband random excitation is investigated. The specific system examined is an autoparametric vibration absorber with internal resonance, which is typical of many common structural configurations. By means of Gaussian closure scheme the dynamic moment equations explaining the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations of the first and second moments. In view of equilibrium solutions of this system and their stability we examine the system responses. We could not find the destabilizing effect of damping, which was reported in References (18) and (20). The saturation phenomenon, which is well known in deterministic nonlinear system, did not take place lot this system subject to broadband random excitation.

This study uses the distributed parameter systems resented by the spatial discretization technique. In this paper, the distributed parameter systems are converted into lumped parameter systems, End fast Walsh transform and the Picard's iteration method are allied to analysis the state of the systems. This thesis presents a new algorithm which usefully exercises the optimal contro1 in the distributed parameter systems. In exercising the optimal control of the distributed parameter systems, the excellent consequences are found without using the existing decentralized contro1 or hierarchical control method. This study can be applied to the linear time-varying systems and the non-linear systems. Farther researches are required to solve the problems of convergence in case of the numerous applicable intervals. The simulation proves the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The dynamic characteristics of a system can be critically influenced by system uncertainty, so the dynamic system must be analyzed stochastically in consideration of system uncertainty. This study presents the stochastic model of a nonlinear dynamic system with uncertain parameters under nonstationary stochastic inputs. And this stochastic system is analyzed by a new stochastic process closure method and moment equation method. The first moment equation is numerically evaluated by Runge-Kutta method and the second moment equation is numerically evaluated by stochastic process closure method, 4th cumulant neglect closure method and Runge-Kutta method. But the first and the second moment equations are coupled each other, so this equations are approximately evaluated by a iterative method. Finally the accuracy of the present method is verified by Monte Carlo simulation.

In this paper the optimum values of natural frequency ratio and damping ratio for damped systems were studied by numerical analysis. The relation between the amplitude ratio and frequency ratio obtained for the non-linear dynamic vibration absorber was found and it was compared with that of linear system. The results shows that the optimum frequency ratio decreases and the optimum damping ratio increases when the mass ratio of the damped system increases. The resonance frequency ratio and amplitude ratio decrease as mass ratio increases for the non-linear spring system.
