The explicit finite element method is an essential tool for solving large problems with severe nonlinear characteristics, but its results can be difficult to interpret. In particular, it can be impossible to evaluate its acceleration responses because of severe discontinuity, extreme noise or aliasing. We suggest a new post-processing method for transient responses and their response spectra. We propose smoothing methods using a Gaussian kernel without in depth knowledge of the complex frequency characteristics; such methods are successfully used in the filtering of digital signals. This smoothing can be done by measuring the velocity results and monitoring the response spectra. Gaussian kernel smoothing gives a better smoothness and representation of the peak values than other approaches do. The floor response spectra can be derived using smoothed accelerations for the design.

This paper presents the behavior of column-removed double-span beams in welded steel moment frames and proposes a simplified nonlinear dynamic analysis method for the preliminary evaluation of progressive collapse potential. The nonlinear finite element analysis and the associated analytical study showed that the column gravity load and the beam span-to-depth ratio govern the maximum dynamic deformation demand of the double-span beams. Based on these results, the concept of a collapse spectrum, which describes the relationship between the gravity load parameter and the maximum chord rotation of the double-span beams, was newly proposed. A procedure for the application of the collapse spectrum to multi-story welded steel moment frames was then suggested. The inelastic dynamic finite element analysis results showed that the proposed method gives satisfactory prediction of the nonlinear progressive collapse behavior of welded steel moment frames.

The objective of this study was to develop models for the predict of the milk properties (fat, protein, SNF, lactose, MUN) of unhomogenized milk using the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technique. A total of 180 milk samples were collected from dairy farms. To determine optimal measurement temperature, the temperatures of the milk samples were kept at three levels ($5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $40^{\circ}C$). A spectrophotometer was used to measure the reflectance spectra of the milk samples. Multilinear-regression (MLR) models with stepwise method were developed for the selection of the optimal wavelength. The preprocessing methods were used to minimize the spectroscopic noise, and the partial-least-square (PLS) models were developed to prediction of the milk properties of the unhomogenized milk. The PLS results showed that there was a good correlation between the predicted and measured milk properties of the samples at $40^{\circ}C$ and at 400~2,500 nm. The optimal-wavelength range of fat and protein were 1,600~1,800 nm, and normalization improved the prediction performance. The SNF and lactose were optimized at 1,600~1,900 nm, and the MUN at 600~800 nm. The best preprocessing method for SNF, lactose, and MUN turned out to be smoothing, MSC, and second derivative. The Correlation coefficients between the predicted and measured fat, protein, SNF, lactose, and MUN were 0.98, 0.90, 0.82, 0.75, and 0.61, respectively. The study results indicate that the models can be used to assess milk quality.

In this study, the effect of hydrodynamic masses is investigated in the dynamic characteristics and earthquake response analyses of the submerged HANARO flow tubes. First, the consistent hydrodynamic masses of the surrounding water are obtained by finite element method. Then, modal analyses and response spectrum analyses are performed and verified by comparing the results with those measured from an experiment. Arbitrary cross-sections of submerged structures and boundary conditions of the surrounding fluid can be considered by using the general benefits of a finite element method comparing with the conventional analytical methods. Practical criteria based on parametric studies are proposed to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of HANARO flow tubes including the hydrodynamic masses.

균질 매질내에 형성되는 근거리 음장의 해석에는 종래 회절 이론에서의 Rayleigh 적분식에 근거한 Lommel 근사식이 주로 이용되어져 왔다. 그러나, 불균질한 매질에서는 그 방법의 적용이 어렵고, 유한요소법등 새로운 방법이 적용되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 불균질 매질에서의 음장을 해석하는 한 방법으로 Angular Spectrum법을 제안하고, 경계를 가상한 등수온의 물에 대하여 Lommel 근사식에 의해 직접 산출한 음장과 Angular Spectrum법을 적용하여 산출한 음장을 서로 비교함으로써 그 유효성을 검토하였다.

This paper proposes a spectral element which can represent dynamic responses in high frequency domain such as Lamb waves on a thin plate. A two layer beam model under 2-D plane strain condition is introduced to simulate high-frequency dynamic responses induced by piezoelectric layer (PZT layer) bonded on a base plate. In the two layer beam model, a PZT layer is assumed to be rigidly bonded on a base beam. Mindlin-Herrmann and Timoshenko beam theories are employed to represent the first symmetric and anti-symmetric Lamb wave modes on a base plate, respectively. The Bernoulli beam theory and 1-D linear piezoelectricity are used to model the electro-mechanical behavior of a PZT layer. The equations of motions of a two layer beam model are derived through Hamilton's principle. The necessary boundary conditions associated with electro mechanical properties of a PZT layer are formulated in the context of dual functions of a PZT layer as an actuator and a sensor. General spectral shape functions of response field and the associated boundary conditions are formulated through equations of motions converted into frequency domain. A detailed spectrum element formulation for composing the dynamic stiffness matrix of a two layer beam model is presented as well. The validity of the proposed spectral element is demonstrated through comparison results with the conventional 2-D FEM and the previously developed spectral elements.

We use the finite element method to analyze the seismic design of a liquid storage tank for a polar crane at a nuclear power plant. We obtained the natural frequency and vibration modes by modal analysis, and we evaluated the seismic stability by response spectrum analysis. Furthermore, the seismic analysis of the tank was accomplished by analyzing not only the forces applied to the wall by the sloshing of the liquid, but also the safe-shutdown earthquake condition for the tank. We propose a seismic-design process and a seismic-analysis method for liquid storage tanks based on the commercial finite element analysis program, ANSYS.

현대 산업사회에서 발전소는 중요한 시설물이다. 특히 원자력발전소는 지진 과 같은 천재지변시 매우 위험하기 때문에 내진설계가 필수적으로 요구되어 진다. 최근 국내 원자력발전소의 증가와 1986년 이후 만들어진 내진관련 법 규에 따라 내진설계가 보편화 되어가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전소에서 쓰 이는 입축펌프를 해석대상기종으로하여 구조해석과 내진해석을 수행하엿다. 입축펌프는 큰 질량을 가진 모터가 펌프의 윗부분에 위치하고 있어 진동문 제가 야기되는 기종이다. 펌프의 고유진동수는 기초부의 강성과 수조의 내수 위에 따라 변하며, 펌프의 축계의 진동수에 비하여 구조계의 진동수가 운전 회전수에 가깝기 때문에 구조계의 진동이 문제시된다. 해석에 있어서 펌프는 단면이 변하는 Euler Beam으로 보고 유한요소법을 사용하여 모델링하였고, 물의 저항에 의한 부가질량을 고려하였다. 내진해석은 응답스펙트럼법으로 수행하였으며 GRS는 Housner가 0.2g에 대하여 제작한 것을 OBE 조건 (0.12g)으로 scaling하여 사용하였다. 각 모드에 대한 합성방법은 SRSS 법을 적용하였다. 또한 응답스펙트럼법과 시간이력해석의 결과를 비교하였으며, 시간이력해석에서, 수치해석방법으로는 Newmark법을 적용하였다. 지진자료 는, 1940년, California에서 발생한 Elcentro 지진 자료를 이용하였다. 연구수 행과정에서 기초강성계수와 수조내 물의 수위를 주된 인자로 하여 이들의 값에 따라 변하는 고유진동수를 고찰하고, 지진입력시 예상되는 최대응답을 구하여, 비교 분석하였다.

In this study, bispectrum analysis method introduced to reduce variability of SEF(spectral edge frequency) and MF(median frequency), which are the anesthetic depth indexes extracted by EEG spectral analysis. Bispectrum analysis is an analytical method that can confirm the nonlinearity of EEG. Signal measurement and analysis in the surgical environment should take into consideration various external artifact factors. Bispectrum analysis can confirm the presence of externally introduced artifacts, thereby effectively eliminating artifacts that affect the EEG signal. By applying bispectrum parameters, real-time variability of the anesthetic depth parameters SEF, MF could be reduced. Elimination of variability makes it possible to use SEF, MF as a real-time index during surgery.

각종 홀 (음악홀, 극장, 사무실건물)의 공조 덕트계에는 미로형소음챔버가 설 치되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 소음장치를 건물내부에 설치하는 경우에는 건물 설계단계에서부터 소음챔버로 인한 감음양(투과손실 : Transmission Loss)의 예측계산이 중요하다. 그렇지만, 일반적인 소음장치는 그 형상이나 내표면의 흡음조건이 아주 복잡하기 때문에, 현단계에서는 간단한 이론만으로 투과손 실예측이 거의 불가능하다. 지금까지 이 문제에 대해서 유한요소법(Finite Element Method : FEM)을 이용해 검토한 예가 종종 소개되었으나, 대부분 소음챔버의 입구와 출구에서의 임의의 점에 대한 음압비를 투과손실로서 구 하고 있다. 그러나, 소음기자체의 실질적인 투과손실특성을 알기 위해서는 소음기의 입력 파워에 대한 출력파워의 비로서 구하지 않으면 안된다. 따라 서, 본 연구에서는 유한요소법에 의한 복소음향인텐시티(Complex sound intensity)의 수치계산법을 각종소음기 (팽창형, 미로형)의 투과손실해석에 적 용하기 위하여 이론적인 면에서 고찰했으며, 프로그램도 개발하여 모델해석 에 적용하였다. 또한, 위에서 언급된 수치해석법의 타당성의 검증을 위하여, 측정에 의한 투과손실예측방법으로서 크로스스펙트럼(Cross Spectrum)법에 의한 음향인텐시티계측법의 이용에 대해서 이론적으로 고찰했으며, 그 이론 을 기초로 한 축척 모형실험을 병행하였다.
