It is necessary for the optimum design of switching devices to calculate repulsion forces acting on the closed electric contacts flowing over-current, e.g. inrush current and overload currents. In this paper, the forces generated by currents and flux densities at the contact point when circuit breakers are in closed position are obtained by using 3D finite element method. According to the analysis, the optimum configuration of wipe springs and arc extinguishing chambers are newly designed and consequently type tests show satisfactory results.

A simple model for reinforced concrete shear walls with boundary elements is proposed, which is a macro-model composed of spring elements representing flexure and shear behaviors. The flexural behaviour is represented by vertical springs at the wall ends, where the moment strength and rotational capacity of the wall are based on section analysis. The shear behaviour is represented by a horizontal spring at the wall center, where the key parameters for the shear behavior are based on the flexural behaviour since the shear walls with boundary elements are governed by the flexure. The proposed model was prepared with the results of hysteretic tests of the shear walls, and then the reliability of the hysteretic rule and variables was investigated by nonlinear dynamic analyses. Using parametric study with nonlinear dynamic analyses, the effect of the variables on demand and capacity, which are major parameters in seismic performance evaluation, are investigated. Results show that the measured and calculated shear forces versus the shear distortion relationships are slightly different, but the global response is well simulated. Furthermore, the demand and capacity are also changed in a similar way to the change in the major parameters so that the proposed model may be appropriate for reinforced concrete shear walls with boundary elements.

In this study, a nonlinear truss finite element is developed to analyze structures with negative Poisson effect-induced tensile buckling. In general, the well-known buckling phenomenon is a stability problem under a compressive load, whereas tensile buckling occurs because of local compression caused by tension. It is not as well-known as classical buckling because it is a recent study. The mechanism of tensile buckling can be briefly explained from an energy standpoint. The nonlinear truss finite element with a torsional spring is formulated because the finite element has not been reported in the literature yet. The post-buckling analysis is then performed using the generalized displacement control method, which reveals that the torsional spring plays an important role in tensile buckling. Structures that mimic a negative Poisson effect can be constructed using such post-buckling behaviors, and one of the possible applications is a mechanical switch. The results obtained are compared to those of analytical solutions and commercial finite element analysis to assess the validity of the proposed finite element model. The numerical results show that the developed finite element model could be a viable option for the basic design of nonlinear structures with a negative Poisson effect.

Many industrialized countries of the world have many problems about the reuse of waste landfill area because the increase of terminated waste disposal landfill. Especially, the effective use of the terminated waste disposal landfill nearby the urban area has been demanded, because of the lack of the usable land. However, the reuse of terminated waste disposal landfill site is needed an adequate stabilization of ground for increasing the bearing capacity and reduce the allowable settlement for the given structure. This study is to evaluate the applicability of geosynthetics for the increment of bearing capacity of solid waste landfill ground. The in-situ cyclic plate loading tests were performed to determine the dynamic and static behaviors of reinforced ground with geosynthetics. Four series of test were conducted with variations of geosynthetics, number of geogrid layer. Based on the cyclic plate load test results, the bearing capacity ratio, subgrade modulus of ground, and the elastic rebound ratio were determined.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is powerful tool for determining properties of samples based on interactions between the sample surface and an approaching probe tip. In this study, we modeled the interactions between the sample and the tip of the AFM microcantilever as a single nonlinear spring with an equivalent stiffness element and simulated the dynamic behaviors of the AFM microcantilevers using the finite element method (FEM) and ANSYS software. With the simulation results, we analyzed the complex dynamic responses of the AFM cantilever using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). In addition, we compared the simulation and experimental results using the same method. Consequently, we suggest an effective method to express the interaction between the tip and sample, and we confirm that the influence of the higher order model due to the interaction between the tip and sample is increased.

최근 우리 나라도 자동차의 수요가 급격히 늘어나고 있고, 생산량도 급증하 고 있어 자동차 공업이 산업의 최고의 위치를 확보하게 되었다. 자동차는 최 신 종합 기계 구조물로서 전기, 전자, 제어에 이르기까지 거의 모든 분양의 학문적 이론과 기술을 도입하는 최첨단의 기계 장비인것이다. 따라서 그 부 가가치 또한 매우 큰 것이다. 자동차의 성능을 결정짓는 가장 커다란 요소는 주행 성능과 안정성 및 조종성이다. 주행성능이라 함은 자동차의 종방향 운 동에 관한 성능으로서 기관의 동력에 지배적인 영향을 받는 성능(동력 성능) 과 그 밖의 성능(타향 성능, 제동 성능)으로 구분된다. 또 안정성과 조종성이 라함은 자동차의 횡방향 운동에 관한 성능으로서 로울링과 요우잉을 포함시 킨 곡선 운동에 관한 성능을 일컫는다. 이러한 운동 성능을 좌우하는 것은 구조적인 설계의 양부와 스프링이나 댐퍼의 성능일 것이다. 자동차의 수많은 부품 중의 다수가 국산화 되어 있지 아니하고, 또한 이러한 부품들의 성능을 시험할 수 있는 장비의 수입 의존도가 높은 것은 업계나 학계 등에서 앞으 로 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 점이다. 자동차의 충격 흡수기(shock absorber)의 검사기도 또한 수입 시험기에 의존하고 있었던 것이 현실이었 다. 이에 본 연구진은 이 검사기의 국산화에 착수 한 것이다. 자동차에 있어 서 충격 흡수기는 지면에서 오는 충격을 급속히 흡수하는 역할을 하여 자동 차의 주행 성능과 안정성을 높혀 주며, 승차감을 높혀 주는 중요한 부품이 다. 따라서 충격 흡수기의 양부의 판정은 대단히 중요한 것이다. 본 연구에 서는 충격 흡수기의 충격 흡수력(감쇠력)을 측정하여 감쇠 특성을 정도 높게 파악할 수 있는 시험기를 만드는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 연구는 시험기의 구동부를 제작하는 기계부와, 제어 및 계측의 하드웨어를 담당하는 전기.전 자부및 실제로 기계를 구동, 제어하고 측정 결과를 기록하고 출력하는 부분 을 담당하는 소프트웨어 개발부로 나누어서 진행하였다.

In this paper, equivalent models for active control devices are proposed so that building structures with such devices are analyzed using commercial structural analysis programs for the assessment of the structural members under active vibration control. Equivalent link models represent active control device with a virtual linear spring and dashpot, and equivalent force models are control force history acting at the installation point in structural models. Active controllers are designed based on the reduced-order models for a vertical cantilever model and a high-rise building model and corresponding equivalent models are determined from control gain matrices. Based on acceleration, displacement and member force responses, the effectiveness of the equivalent models is verified. As a result, proposed equivalent models, of which equivalent link model showed better performance, appear to enable detailed investigation of structural behavior to the extent of member force level.

In a subway vehicle, a lateral damper is used for compensating the lateral stiffness deterioration due to the air-spring as a secondary suspension. This lateral damper can reduce the lateral vibration of the carbody. When the damping force of the lateral damper is lowered, the running stability and ride quality of the subway vehicles worsens and the lateral motion of the carbody is increased. In this study, the lateral displacement variation of the carbody according to the damping force of the lateral damper was analyzed by multi-body dynamics to solve the abnormal impact problem during vehicle operation. Furthermore, the noise and vibration due to abnormal impact were considered. An adequate damping coefficient of the lateral damper for the subway vehicle treated in this paper was suggested for preventing abnormal impact.
