To evaluate the seismic capacity of a multistorey building structures in performance based seismic design, it is needed to convert MDOF model into equivalent SDOF model. This paper presents predictions for interstory drift of multistorey structures using method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model. The principal objective of this investigation is to evaluate appropriateness of converting method through performing nonlinear time history analysis of a multistory building structures and an equivalent SDOF model. Comparing the interstory drift of multistorey structures calculated by time history analysis and those evaluated by an equivalent SDOF model, the adequacy and the validity of converting method is verified. The conclusion of this study is following; A method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model through the nonlinear time history response analysis is valid. Inelastic first mode shapes are expected to be more accurate than elastic first mode shapes in obtaining interstory drift of multistorey structures from equivalent SDOF model.

We designed a new time-domain, finite-difference, elastic wave modeling technique, based on a displacement formulation. which yields nearly correct solutions to Lamb's problem. Unlike the conventional, displacement-based, finite-difference method using a node-based grid set (where both displacements and material properties such as density and Lame constants are assigned to nodal points), in our new finite-difference method, we use a cell-based grid set (where displacements are still defined at nodal points but material properties within cells). In the case of using the cell-based grid set, stress-free conditions at the free surface are naturally described by the changes in the material properties without any additional free-surface boundary condition. Through numerical tests, we confirmed that the new second-order finite differences formulated in the cell-based grid let generate numerical solutions compatible with analytic solutions unlike the old second-order finite-differences formulated in the node-based grid set.

An extensive investigation is performed to analyze the behavior of tieback anchored wall. Finite element method is used and several case histories are collected to investigate the relationship of wall deflection, anchor unbonded length, and anchor load. The finite element method can calculate wall deflection with changing the anchor unbonded length and the anchor load. Wall deflection normalized by excavation height can be related to anchor location so that it may produce a zone chart. It is found that a different chart showing the relation of the wall deflection, the anchor load, and anchor unbonded length can be constructed. It is necessary to collect more case histories considering soil conditions and to perform FE analysis extensively with changing bonded length to extend the capability of this relation chart into practice.

The concept of standard error ellipse and confidence ellipse is vtilized in the detection of displaced station which are uncluded in the observational network. In this paper, the influences on the accuracy of unknown stations according to the varied selection and geometrical conditions of fixed stations were evaluated. And then the displaced stations were detected by error ellipse concept, and the amounts of displacement were determined by coordinate differences between epochs which were calculated by fixed point adjustment and free network adjustment. As a result, it is found that the free network adjustment is more efficient in the detection and displacement calculation of displaced stations.

In this paper, new additional nonconforming modes for the improvement of bending behavior in the distorted 8 node hexahedral element and their effective modification method are studied. The rotational degrees of freedom are introduced by using a functional in which the rotations are independent variables. In an element formulation, the same interpolations are used in displacement and rotation fields, but nonconforming modes we applied only in displacement fields. To verify the developed element various numerical tests are carried out and test results show good behavior.

Flexure joints are recently used in the ultra-precision mechanism for a telecommunication mirror stage. Flexure joints have several advantages coming from their monolithic characteristics. They can be used to reduce the size of manipulators or to increase the precision of motion. In our research, 6 dof(degree of freedom) mechanism is suggested for micrometer repeatability using a flexure mechanism. To design the 6-dof motion, the 2-dof planar mechanism are designed and assembled to make the 6-dof motion. To achieve a certain performance, it is necessary to define the performance of mechanism that quantifies the characteristics of flexure joints. This paper addresses the analysis and design of the 6-dof parallel manipulator with a flexure joint using a finite element analysis tool. To obtain experimental result, CCD laser displacement sensor is used for the total displacement and the stiffness for the 6-dof flexure mechanism.

In this study, we propose a new efficient 2-noded hybrid-mixed element for curved beam vibrationshaving a uniform and non-uniform cross section. The present element considering transverse shear strain is based on Hellinger-Reissner variational principle and introduces additional nodeless degrees for displacement field interpolation in order to enhance the numerical performance. The stress parameters are eliminated by the stationary condition and then the nodeless degrees are condensed out by the Guyan reduction. In the performance evaluation process of the present field-consistent higher-order element, we carefully examine the effects of field consistency and the role of higher-order interpolation functions on the hybrid-mixed formulation. Several benchmark tests confirm e superior behavior of the present hybrid-mixed element for curved beam vibrations.

바람에 의해 발생하는 장대교량의 진동현상은 버펫팅과 와류진동 그리고 플러터 등으로 구분할 수 있으며, 특히 설계풍속에 해당하는 강풍에 안전한 교량을 설계하는 것이 주된 관심사항이다. 이러한 장대교량의 공기역학적인 안정성 검토에 사용되는 플러터 계수를 풍동실험을 통하여 산정하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 플레이트 거더교의 강풍에 대한 안정성을 검토하기 위하여 풍동실험을 수행하였으며, 자유진동 기법과 강제진동 기법을 사용하여 추출한 플러터 계수를 비교하였다. 자유진동 기법은 교량단면에 초기변위를 주어 상하 및 회전 진동을 하는 교량단면의 변위를 측정한 후 system identification 기법으로 플러터 계수를 구하게 된다. 그리고 강제진동 기법은 상하방향의 강제진동과 회전방향의 강제진동 실험을 독립적으로 수행하여 교량단면에 작용하는 풍하중과 단면의 진동을 분석함으로써 플러터 계수를 추정하게 된다. 그리고 플러터 계수의 비교를 통하여 강제진동 기법과 자유진동 기법의 장단점을 분석하였다.

본 논문은 고정, 단순, 또는 자유 연단 조건의 네 가지의 다른 조합을 갖는 마름모꼴형 평판의 자유진동 데이터를 처음으로 제시한 연구이다. 본 논문의 주된 관점은 마름모꼴 형 평판 둔각모서리의 휨응력의 특이도를 엄밀히 고려하여 해석하는 것이다. Ritz 방법을 이용하여 수직진동변위를 두 가지 적합 함수식으로 가정하였다. 힌지와 고정, 자유와 고정, 또한 힌지와 자유인 모서리 응력 특이도의 중대한 영향력이 이해될 수 있도록 충분히 큰 1650 둔각모서리를 갖는 마름모꼴형 평판에 대하여 엄밀한 무차원 진동수와 수직변동변위의 전형적인 등고선을 제시하였다.
