The stiffness of the subbase materials is represented by the resilient modulus, $M_R$, which are very important properties in the mechanistic design of flexible pavement system. However, the cyclic $M_R$ testing method is too complex, expensive, and time consuming to be applicable on a production basis. In this study, the alternative $M_R$ testing technique for subbase materials was developed using a free-free resonant column (FF-RC) test considering deformational characteristics of subbase materials. To estimate the deformational characteristics of subbase materials, effects of strain amplitude and mean effective stress on modulus of subbase materials were investigated. The $M_R$ values determined by alternative testing procedures matched well with those determined by standard $M_R$ test, showing the capability of the proposed methods being used in determining $M_R$ values.

The quantitative analyses and the mechanical interpretation of discontinuity planes are the most important factor for the study of strength and deformation properties of rock masses containing discontinuity planes. However, the relationship between the factors investigated in the field and the actual mechanical properties of discontinuity planes is not fully understood. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of density, length, and spacing of joints on elastic modulus of rock masses as these values vary. A new parameter which has a direct relation with the elastic modulus of discontinuity planes is also preposed in this study. The combination of finite element methods and homogenization methods has been used for the numerical analyses of a uintcell with discontinuity planes, which is generated using random-number generation methods. The elastic modulus of the discontinuity plane is found from the numerical analyses. The final results propose not only the relation between the investigation parameters of discontinuity planes and the elastic modulus of rock masses but also a new parameter, an effect area ratio having a linear relation with the elastic modulus of rock masses.

방사성 폐기물 처분장 주변에서의 지하수 유동에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하여 안전성 평가측면에서 필요한 성능측도에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 각 암반충의 투수계수 및 공극률의 변화에 대한 지하수 유속과 수두의 민감도와 경제 조건을 변경함으로 인해 지하수 유동시간에 미치는 영향을 adjoint 민감도 분석법에 의해 살펴보았다. 민감도 분석 결과, 본 논문에서 고려된 처분부 지의 경우 해수에 접한 경계 면에서는 해수의 밀도를 고려한 경계조건을 사용하는 것이 지하수 유동이 없다고 가정하는 경계조건보다 약간 보수적임을 보여주었고, 투수계수 변화에 따른 지하 수두 및 Darcy 속도는 처분동굴이 위치한 암반의 투수계수 변화에 매우 민감하고 실제적으로 동굴에서 멀리 떨어진 바닥 암반층의 투수계수 변화에는 민감하지 않았다.

다목적위성 1호(KOMPSAT-1, The first Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite)에 장착된 위성 자세제어용 3축 자력계(TAM, Three-Axis Magnetometer)로부터 2000년 6월 19일에서 21일 사이에 측정된 지구자기장을 분석하였다. TAM Telemetry 값을 지구관성좌표계에서 지구고정좌표계로 우선 변환시킨 후에 다시 구면좌표계로 변환하여 자료를 처리하였다. 지구자기장의 영향 이외의 위성내의 유도 전류나 온도변화로 인한 에러, 태양풍의 영향 등을 제거하였고 태양에 의한 영향을 제거하기 위해 제도를 지방시에 따라 상승 및 하강과 두 그룹으로 나눈 후 파동수대비법을 이용해 두 그룹 사이에 서로 역으로 대비되는 (inversely-correlated) 성분을 제거하였다. 측선 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 파동수 영역에서 Quadrant Swapping법을 도입하였고, 이로부터 연구 기간 중 최종적인 지구자기장을 추출하였다. KOMSAT TAM 으로부터 추출된 자기장의 주성분(corefield)을 동일 기간 중 KOMSAT과 유사한 고도에서 지구자기장 관측을 전문적으로 수행한 Ørsted 위성 관측값과 비교한 결과 이들 사이의 상관계수는 0.97로 매우 높게 나타났다 위성 자세보정용 자력계로 부터 관측된 자기장으로부터 신뢰도 있는 주성분 추출이 가능해짐에 따라 이로부터 전지구 구면조화계수를 유도할 경우 지구자기장 전문 관측위성이 존재하지 않는 기간 및 고도에 대한 자기장 연구가 가능하다.

Since many design problems in the railroad, aerospace and machine structures involve considerations of the effect of cyclic loading, manufacturing and quality control processes much fully account for fatigue of critical components. Due to the sensitivity of the Paris law, it is very important to calculate .DELTA.K numerically to minimize the error of predicted fatigue life in cycles. However, it is shown that the p-version of FEM based on LEFM analysis is far better suited for computing the stress intensity factors than the conventional h-version. To demonstrate the proficiency of the proposed scheme, the welded T-joint with crack problems of box car body bolster assembly and a crack problem emanating from a circular hole in finite strip have been solved.

When designing fixed jacket structures, overseas design standards are applied due to the absence of domestic design methods. Although the US API standards are mainly applied, API RP 2A suggests two design methods: the allowable stress design method (WSD) and the load resistance coefficient method (LRFD), and is applied according to the designer's judgment. In this study, the stress ratio of the two design methods was reviewed and compared using SACS, an analysis program dedicated to marine structures, for fixed marine structures actually installed on the domestic coast. As a result of the review, it was found that the LRFD design method showed a greater stress ratio for extreme load analysis and transportation analysis, and the WSD design method showed a greater stress ratio for loading and lifting. Therefore, when applying the design method, it is considered appropriate to select the final design method considering safety and economic feasibility after conducting an applicability review for the two design methods.

Rational dynamic modeling and analysis method f3r complex structures are studied with special attention to slide way joints. For modeling of slide way joints, a general modeling technique is used by using the influence coefficients method which is applied to the conversion of detailed finite element model to the equivalent reduced joint model. The theoretical part of this method is illustrated and the method is applied to the structure with slide way joint. In this method, the non-linearity of the contact surfaces is considered within a proper range and the boundary effect of the joint model could be eliminated. The proposed method was applied to finite element modal analysis of a clamp jointed cantilever beam and slide way joints of the vertical type lathe. The method can also be used to other kinds of joint modeling. The results of these analysis were compared with those of Yoshimura models and rigid joint models, which demonstrated the practical applicability of the proposed method.

An analyical method is proposed to construct a clamp jointed structure as an equivalent stiffness matrix element in the finite element modal analysis of a complex beam structure. Static structural analysis was first made for the detail finite element model of the clamp joint. Utilizing the results of this analysis, the equivalent stiffness matrix element was buildup by using the flexibility influence coefficient method and Guyan condensation. The proposed method was applied to finite element modal analysis of a clamp jointed cantilever beam. And the finite element analysis results were compared to those experimental modal analysis. Comparison shows doog agreement each other Furthermore the effects of normal contact(or clamping) load on the equivalent stiffness matrix was also examined. The equivalent stiffness matrix showed little change in spite of the remakable increase in the contact load on the clamp joint.

The up-to-date fatigue strength assessment system for ship structures was developed based on the spectral analysis method and numerical calculation for a membrane type LNG carrier was carried out to verify the effectiveness of the developed system. The wave induced loads acting on the ship's hull were calculated based on strip theory. And introducing the concept of influence factor and 3-D fine mesh structural analysis, direct calculation of long-term distribution of wave induced stress components was realized. Using the derived long term distribution of stress components and Miner-Parmgren's linear damage accumulation rule, fatigue strength of structural components were investigated.

대부분의 경우 지반을 통해 전달되는 진동을 줄이기 위해 사용되는 방진벽의 차진효율은 지반 위 한 점에서의 진폭저감계수로 표현되고 있다. 그러나 한 점에서의 진동차단 효율은 일정 지역의 평균값과 많은 차이를 보이고 있어, 일정 단지의 진동환경 개선에 요구되는 경우, 한 점에서의 값만으로 차진효율을 표현하는 것은 적합하지 않다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 단지 내 진동환경 개선의 판단방법을 제시하고, 방진벽의 기하학적 규모가 방진벽의 진동차단 효율에 미치는 영향을 경계요소법을 이용하여 구하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 강성 방진벽의 경우, 단면적인 방진벽의 차진성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
