response surface method (RSM) is widely used to evaluate th e extremely smal probability of ocurence or toanalyze the reliability of very complicated structures. Althoug h Monte-Carlo Simulation (MCS) technique can evaluate any system, the procesing time of MCS dependson the reciprocal num ber of the probability of failure. The stochastic finite element method could solve thislimitation. However, it is limit ed to the specific program, in which the mean and coeficient o f random variables are programed by a perturbation or by a weigh ted integral method. Therefore, it is not aplicable when erequisite programing. In a few number of stage analyses, RSM can construct a regresion model from the response of the c omplicated structural system, thus, saving time and efort significantly. However, the acuracy of RSM depends on the dist ance of the axial points and on the linearity of the limit stat e functions. To improve the convergence in exact solution regardl es of the linearity limit of state functions, an improved adaptive response surface method is developed. The analyzed res ults have ben verified using linear and quadratic forms of response surface functions in two examples. As a result, the be st combination of the improved RSM techniques is determined and programed in a numerical code. The developed linear adapti ve weighted response surface method (LAW-RSM) shows the closest converged reliability indices, compared with quadratic form or non-adaptive or non-weighted RSMs.

Kansai International Airport (KIX) was opened in September 1994. Although 26 years have passed since the completion of the first island, long-term settlement is still in progress. This settlement occurs in the Pleistocene layer. For it is not easy to determine the permeability of the Pleistocene sand layer because the thickness and the degree of fine content in the horizontal direction are constantly changing. In addition, it is also a difficult to predict the interactive behavior of the ground due to the construction of the second phase island adjacent to it. In order to solve this problem, a two-dimensional finite element analysis considering elasto-viscoplastic was performed to evaluate the long-term deformation, including the interactive behavior of the alternating Pleistocene foundation due to the construction of two adjacent reclaimed islands. In general, two-dimensional analysis can be used when a section can represent the entire sections. However, Kansai Airport is an artificial reclaimed island so two-dimensional analysis cannot solve the problem such as the stress deformation in the corners of the island. Additionally, the structure of the actual sub-ground through physical exploration is non-homogeneity and its thickness is also not constant. Therefore, there are limitations for the two-dimensional analysis to explain the phenomena. That is, three-dimensional analysis is strongly required. Due to these demands, the author extended the existing two-dimensional program capable of elasto-viscoplastic analysis to three-dimensional and completed the verification of the three-dimensional program developed through one-dimensional consolidation analysis. In order to demonstrate the validity of the developed 3D program that has been verified, an analysis is performed under the same analysis conditions as the existing research using a two-dimensional program. The effectiveness of the developed 3D numerical analysis program was demonstrated by comparing the analysis results with the 2D results and actual measurement data.

The impact damage behavior of steel-strengthened concrete panels exposed to explosive loading is investigated. Since real explosion experiments require the vast costs to facilities as well as the blast and impact damage mechanisms are too complicated, numerical analysis has lately become a subject of special attention. However, for engineering problems involving blast wave and fragment impact, there is no single numerical method that is appropriate to the various problems. In order to evaluate the retrofit performance of a steel-strengthened concrete panel subject to blast wave and fragment impact loading, an explicit analysis program, AUTODYN is used in this work. The multi-solver coupling methods such as Euler-Lagrange and SPH-Lagrange coupling method in order to improve efficiency and accuracy of numerical analysis is implemented. The simplified and idealized two dimensional and axisymmetric models are used in order to obtain a reasonable computation running time. As a result of the analysis, concrete panels subject to either blast wave or fragment impact loading without the steel plate are shown the scabbing and perforation. The perforation can be prevented by concrete panels reinforced with steel plate. The numerical results show good agreement with the results of the experiments.

Unlike the horizontal strut, the corner strut causes bending behavior by the installation angle when soil pressure occurs, so there is a limit to its application as a elasto plastic method that requires only the axial stiffness of struts. Therefore, this study attempted to approach a method of modifying axial stiffness data to present an analysis method for corner struts in elasto plastic method, and linear elasticity analysis was used for this. And, through Linear elasticity analysis, axial stiffness data for corner struts installed at the actual site were calculated. The behavior of the retainingwall was confirmed by applying the calculated axial stiffness data of corner struts to elasto plastic method, and its applicability was evaluated by comparing it with the measurement results and the finite element analysis results. As a result of the study, when the axial stiffness data of the corner struts was applied using Linear elasticity analysis(Case 1, Case 3), the axial stiffness data decreased to 9% to 17% compared to the general method of applying the axial stiffness of the struts(Case 2, Case 4), and the displacement of the retainingwall increased to 25.33% to 64.42%. Comparing this result with the measurement results, when Linear elasticity analysis was used(Case 1, Case 3), the behavior of the retainingwall during the elasto plastic method was better shown.

Self-potential (SP) is sensitive to groundwater flow and there are many causes to generate SP. Among many mechanisms of SP, pore-fluid flow in porous media can generate potential without any external current source, which is referred to as electrokinetic potential or streaming potential. When calculating SP responses on the surface due to geothermal fluid within an engineered geothermal system (EGS) reservoir, SP anomaly is usually considered to be generated by fluid injection or production within the reservoir. However, SP anomaly can also result from geothermal water fluid within EGS reservoirs experiencing temperature changes between injection and production wells. For more precise simulation of SP responses, we developed an algorithm being able to take account of SP anomalies produced by not only water injection and production but also the fluid of geothermal water, based on three-dimensional finite-element-method employing tetrahedron elements; the developed algorithm can simulate electrical potential responses by both point source and volume source. After verifying the developed algorithm, we assumed a simple geothermal reservoir model and analyzed SP responses caused by geothermal water injection and production. We are going to further analyze SP responses for geothermal water in the presence of water production and injection, considering temperature distribution and geothermal water flow in the following research.

선박은 화물 및 여객을 수송하는 해상교통 수단으로써 여객 및 승무원의 안락성, 탑재장비, 기기의 성능 보전 상, 화물 및 구조부재의 안전성 차원에서 진동제어가 주요 해결 기술의 하나이다. 또한 최근 선박의 대형화, 고속화로 인해 엔진과 프로펠러의 기진력은 커지는데 반해 구조 강도계산 기술의 발달로 인해 선체구조 경량화가 촉진되어 선체의 유연성이 커질 뿐 아니라 전통적인 선체 구조와 기관, 축계 강성사이의 균형이 깨어짐으로 선박의 진동제어는 더욱 중요시 되고 있다. 선박의 경우 건조 후에 진동제어를 위한 조치를 취하는 일은 매우 제한적이고 많은 비용이 들기 때문에 설계단게에서 선박진동제어를 위한 사전 노력이 충분히 이루어지는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 선박의 주 기진원인 프로펠러, 주기관 등의 기진력 자체를 적정화하는 노력과 함께 그로 인한 응답을 극소화하기 위해 설계 단계부터 인도까지 단게별로 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 단계별 진동제어의 한 예를 Fig.1에서 보여주고 있다[1]. 선체와 같이 복잡한 대형구조물의 진동특성 및 응답을 계산함에 있어서 컴퓨터의 발달과 유한요소법과 같은 해석기술의 발달로 실제 구조와 매우 유사한 3차원 모델링이 가능하게 되어 해석의 정도를 높일 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 프로펠러 기진력, 유체와의 연성효과, 감쇠특성 등을 정도 높게 산정하는 데는 아직도 많은 어려움이 있다. 이와같은 문제는 진동응답의 계산정도를 저하시키는 주요 요인이 되어 설게단계에서 충분히 진동 제어가 이루어졌다 하더라도 건조 후 실제운항 시 진동문제가 발생되는 경우가 있다. 건조 후 진동문제 발생시 구조변경을 통한 해결은 한계가 있기 때문에 각종 진동제어 장치의 연구개발이 최근에 활발히 이루어지고 있다[2]. 본 고에서는 설계단계에서부터 건조 후까지의 선박진동제어 과정[1,2,5,6]을 단계별로 고찰하여, 점점 까다로워져 가는 선박 진동규제[3,4]에 대처하고 승무원의 안락성에 대한 욕구, 구조물의 안전성, 장비의 성능보존이 만족되는 저진동 선박의 건조를 위해 향후 해결해야할 과제들을 도출하여 선박진동분야이 연구개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Three-hinge failure occurs in a jointed rock slope with a joint set parallel with slope and a conjugate joint set. Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) which are commonly used for slope design, are not suitable for evaluating stability against three-hinge failure, and this study performed parametric study to analyze the failure mechanism and to find influence factors causing three-hinge failure using UDEC which is a commercial two-dimensional DEM based numerical program. Numerical analyses were performed for various joint structural conditions and joint properties as well as ground water conditions. It was found that pore water pressure is the main factor triggering the three-hinge failure and the mode of failure depends on friction angle of basal joint and bedding joint set. The results obtained from this study can be used for adequate and economic footwall slope reinforcement design and construction.

Generally, the durability of the parking lock gear is evaluated through an endurance test for the entire transmission but no test standard exists for the durability test of one part of a parking lock gear. Therefore, in this study, the durability test standards of the parking lock gear were determined autonomously, and the durability performance test was conducted. A static fracture test was carried out to determine the yield strength of the parking lock gear, and a durability test condition was set to 60 % of the yield strength. The durability test of 1,000,000 times was conducted under the given conditions using a dedicated test jig manufactured for the test. Because the jig fractured during the static fracture test, finite element analysis for the jig was carried out and the jig was re-designed. The modified jig was manufactured and the durability test was carried out based on the test standard of autonomously. The basic data on the performance and endurance limit of the parking lock gear were obtained using these tests and analyses, and the basic data will be used as fundamental materials for the design and the development of the parking lock gear.

In centralized control system, complicated control systems including sensors, power supply and dampers should be required to satisfy the target response of large-scale structures. The practical applications of the centralized control system, however, is very difficult due to high order finite element model of structures, uncertainty of models, and limitations of the excitation system. In this study, the decentralized response-dependent MR damper of which magnetic field is automatically modulated according to the displacement or velocity transferred to the damper without any sensing and computing systems. this decentralized response-dependent MR damper are investigated according to the ranges of relative magnitude between the control force of MR damper and the story shear force of structures by nonlinear time history analysis. Finally, its performance is compared with centralized LQR algorithm which is used in general centralized control theory for a three story building structure.
