In this study, series of nonlinear seismic analysis were performed on a reinforced concrete intake tower surrounded by water. To consider the fluid effect around the structure, analysis models were composed using an added mass and CEL approach. At this time, the implicit method was used for the added mass model, and the explicit method was used for the fluid structure interaction model. The input motions were scaled to correspond to 500, 1000, and 2400 years return period of the same artificial earthquake. To estimate the counteractivity of the fluid coupled model, models without fluid effect were constructed and used as a reference. The material models of concrete and reinforcement were selected to consider the nonlinear behavior after yielding, and analysis were performed by ABAQUS. As results, in the acceleration response spectrum of the structure, it was found that the influence of the surrounding fluid reducing the peak frequency and magnitude corresponding to the fundamental frequency of the structure. However, the added mass model did not affect the peak value corresponding to the higher mode. The sectional moments were increased significantly in the case of the added mass model than those of the reference model. Especially, this amplification occurred largely for a small-sized earthquake response in which linear behavior is dominant. In the fluid structure interaction model, the sectional moment with a low frequency component amplifies compared to that of the reference model, but the sectional moment with a high requency component was not amplified. Based in these results, it was evaluated that the counteractivity of the additive mass model was greater than that of the fluid structure interaction model.

In this study, an analysis method for the earthquake response of an offshore wind turbine model is developed, considering the effects of the fluid-structure-soil interaction. The turbine is modeled as a tower with a lumped mass at the top of it. The tower is idealized as a tubular cantilever founded on flexible seabed. Substructure and Rayleigh-Ritz methods are used to derive the governing equation of a coupled structure-fluid-soil system incorporating interactions between the tower and sea water and between the foundation and the flexible seabed. The sea water is assumed to be a compressible but non-viscous ideal fluid. The impedance functions of a rigid footing in water-saturated soil strata are obtained from the Thin-Layer Method (TLM) and combined with the superstructure model. The developed method is applied to the earthquake response analysis of an offshore wind turbine model. The method is verified by comparing the results with reference solutions. The effects of several factors, such as the flexibility of the tower, the depth of the sea water, and the stiffness of the soil, are examined and discussed. The relative significance of the fluid-structure interaction over the soil-structure interaction is evaluated and vice versa.

Considering fluid-structure-soil interactions, a finite-element model for a liquid-storage tank is presented and the nonlinear earthquake response analysis is formulated. The tank structure is modeled considering shell elements with geometric and material nonlinearities. The fluid is represented by acoustic elements and combined with the structure using interface elements. To consider the soil-structure interactions, the near- and far-field regions of soil are modeled with solid elements and perfectly matched discrete layers, respectively. This approach is applied to the seismic fragility analysis of a 200,000 kL liquid-storage tank. The fragility curve is observed to be influenced by the amplification and filtering of rock outcrop motions at the site when the soil-structure interactions are considered.

For the seismic design and analysis of LMR(liquid metal reactor) being developed in Korea, it is necessary to develop the simple seismic analysis model including the fluid-structure interaction effects. In this paper, the theoretical backgrounds for the fluid added mass of the immersed concentric cylinders are investigated and the seismic analysis code using the Runge-Kutta algorithm, which can consider the fluid added mass matrix in system matrix, are developed to perform the time history seismic analysis. Form the coupled modal analysis and the seismic analysis for the simple immersed concentric cylinders, it is verified that the fluid added mass significantly affect the vibration characteristics and the seismic responses. Therefore the fluid coupled effects should be carefully considered in seismic response analysis of the immersed concentric cylinders.

An analysis considering the fluid-structure interaction is required to strictly evaluate the seismic behavior of facilities such as, environmental facilities and dams, that store fluids. Specifically, in the case of an infinite domain in the upstream direction, such as a dam-reservoir system, this should be carefully considered. In this study, we proposed a practical numerical model for both wave propagation and fluid-structure interaction analyses of an infinite domain, for a system with a semi-infinite domain such as a dam-reservoir system. This method was applicable to the time domain, and enabled accurate boundary analysis. For an infinite fluid domain, a small number of mid-point integrated acoustic finite elements were applied instead of a general acoustic finite element, and a viscous boundary was imposed on the outermost boundary. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method were secured by comparing analytic solutions of a reservoir having infinite domain, with the parametric analysis results, for the number of elements and the size of the modeling region. Furthermore, the proposed method was compared with other fluid-structure interaction methods using additional mass.

Analytical and experimental studies show that the dynamic behavior of liquid storage tanks is significantly influenced by the fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The effects of FSI must be rigorously considered for accurate earthquake analysis and seismic design of liquid storage tanks. In this study, a dynamic analysis of a rectangular liquid storage tank subjected to bi-directional earthquake ground motions is performed and its dynamic characteristics are examined, with the effects of FSI rigorously considered. Hydrodynamic pressure is evaluated using the finite-element approach with acoustic elements and applied to the structure. The responses of the rectangular tank subjected to bi-directional earthquake ground motions are thus obtained. It can be observed that the incident angle of bi-directional horizontal ground motions has significant effects on the dynamic responses of the considered system. Therefore, the characteristics of the system must be considered in its seismic design and performance evaluation.

수축절정기에 0.2mm, 0.4mm 두께의 소구경 인조혈관의 내경3.2mm의 동맥에 문합한 단단문합 주위의 유동과 구조해석을 동시에 수행하였다. 유동해석 결과 속도분포 및 벽단전률은 타 연구결과와 매우 유사하며 이론해와 매우 유사함을 보였다. 유동에 의해서 문합부 주위에 작용하는 응력은 문합부에 집중되며 이는 수십만 pa에 달했다. 또한 인조혈관과 동맥에 작용하는 원주방향의 응력을 이론해와 비교한 결과 서로 유사함을 보였으며 두께가 얇은 인조혈관을 사용하는 경우 문합부의 compliance mismatch 는 개선되나 반대로 응력은 더 많이 받음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해서 유체에 의하여 혈관이 영향을 받는 심혈관계 현상을 연구하는데 있어서 이와 같은 유체-구조 상호작용을 고려하여 동시에 해결 하는 방법은 매우 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

유체-고체 상호작용을 고려하여 다양한 복부대동맥류 모델에 대해서 맥동유동 및 구조를 동시에 해석하였다. 동맥류의 확장부 크기와 혈관벽 두께에 따라서 총 여덟 개의 축대칭 동맥류 모델을 선정하였다. 유한체적법 및 압력기반의 유한차분법을 이용하여 유동을 해석하였으며, 유한요소법을 이용하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 동맥류의 확장부위가 클수록 최대응력은 최대확장부위와 변곡점에 해당하는 동맥류의 입구 및 출구 부분에 집중되었으며, Von Mises 응력은 최대확장부위 뿐만 아니라 동맥류의 근위부와 원위부($\pm$1D)에서도 현저하게 증가하였다. 또한 더욱 확장된 모델일수록 혈관벽은 직경방향의 변위보다 축방향의 변위가 지배적이었으며, 동맥류 원위부보다 근위부에서 큰 축방향 변위를 나타냈다. 동맥류 입구부의 미약한 와류는 한 주기동안 그 크기와 강도를 더해가며 동맥류 원외부로 이동하였고, 동맥류의 내부 유동은 압력차이가 감소하는 기간동안 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 확장정도가 심할수록 동맥류 내부에 더 크고 강한 와류가 관찰되었다. 압력차이가 최소가 된 직후 동맥류의 근위부와 원위부동맥 벽 근처에서의 역방향 유동이 관찰되었다. 대체로 혈관벽 두께가 감소한 모델과 더욱 확장된 모델일수록 벽전달률은 감소하였다. 혈관벽의 탄성에 의하여 압력차이와 벽전달률 사이에 위상차가 존재함이 확인되었다. 유체-고체의 상호작용을 고려한 연구는 다른 심혈관계를 이해하는데도 매우 유익할 것으로 생각된다.
