In this study the effect and applicability of viscoelastic dampers on the seismic reinforcement of steel framed structures are investigated in the context of the performance based design approach. The effect of the damper on dissipating the input seismic energy was investigated with a single degree of freedom system. For analysis models a five-story steel frame subjected to gravity load, a ten-story and twenty-story structure subjected to gravity and wind load were designed. The code-specified design spectrums were constructed for each soil type and performance objective, and artificial ground excitation records to be used in the nonlinear time history analysis were generated based on the design spectrums. Inter-story drift was adopted as the primary performance criterion. According to the analysis results, all model structures turned out to satisfy the performance level for most of the soil conditions except for the soft soil(operational level). It was also found that the seismic performance could be greatly enhanced, and the structures were led to behave elastically by installing viscoelastic dampers on appropriate locations.

When curing the composite, the fibers have little thermal deformation, but the resin changes its properties with time and temperature, which leads to residual stress in the product. Residual stress is caused by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fibers and resin during the curing process and the chemical shrinkage of the resin. This difference causes thermal deformation such as spring-in and warpage. Thermal deformation of composite structure is important issue on quality of product, and it should be considered in manufacturing process. In this study, a subroutine was developed to predict thermal deformation by applying 3-D viscoelastic model. The finite element analysis was verified by comparing the results of the plate analysis of the 2-D viscoelastic model. Spring-in of L-shaped structure was predicted and analyzed by applying the 3-D viscoelastic model.

대부분의 고분자 가공공정에 있어서 가공원액(고분자 액체 또는 용융물)은 선형영역을 벗어나는 큰 크기의 변형을 받으므로 기존의 선형 점탄성 이론으로는 그 공정해석이 불가능하다. 그러므로 대변형하에서 고분자 물질의 비선형 거동 해석은 실제 공정과 관련된 공학적인 관점에서 볼 때 매우 중요한 과제라고 할 수 있다. 특히 응력완화 실험은 점탄성 액체의 비선형 완화 거동을 고찰하고 지금까지 제시된 각종 구성방정식을 평가하는데 유용하다.(중략)

The reliability problems of flip chip packages subjected to temperature change during the packaging process mainly occur due to mismatches in the coefficients of thermal expansion as well as features with time-dependent material properties. Resin molding compounds like glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites used as the dielectric layer in printed circuit boards (PCB) strongly exhibit viscoelastic behavior, which causes their Young's moduli to not only be temperature-dependent but also time-dependent. In this study, the stress relaxation and creep tests were used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of the glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite. Using the viscoelastic properties, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to simulate thermal loading in the pre-baking process and predict thermal warpage. Furthermore, the effect of viscoelastic features for the major polymeric material on the dielectric layer in the PCB (the glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite) was investigated using FEA.

The present study is concerned with the arc-length method in the investigation of the large deflection behavior of spatial structures with composite materials. This study should be able to trace the main equilibrium path by automatically varying the arc-length size of individual solution steps with the variation of the curvature of the nonlinear equilibrium path. A quasi-elastic method is used for the solution for viscoelastic analysis of the reticulated spatial structures. Elastic modulus of composite materials is defined by micro mechanical materials modeling method and nonlinear equilibrium path is traced with various load types. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the present strategies, numerical examples of reticulated spatial truss is given and compared with solutions using other methods.

The time-domain boundary element analysis has been attempted for investigating the displacement and stress in an elastic-viscoelastic compound structure. The subdomain technique has been employed and the whole domain has been divided into two subdomains, which are respectively a homogeneous elastic zone and a homogeneous viscoelastic zone. The boundary element equation has been formulated using the equilibrium and continuity conditions at the common interface. The numerical results of example problem has been presented.

In this paper, the dynamic response of a multi-story steel moment resisting frame equipped with viscoelastic dampers or lead rubber bearing type isolators subjected to seismic loads is investigated analytically. The objective of this study is to find the best location of viscoelastic dampers by the maximum stress method and maximum story drifts method from structure analysis. Also, a secondary objective of the study is to compare the member force, combined stress, and natural period of the structure retrofitted with viscoelastic dampers or lead rubber bearing type isolators to find effective vibration control method.

A three node triangular element with drilling rotations incorporating improved higher-order zig-zag theory(HZZT) is developed to analyze the vibration of pretwisted composite plates with embedded damping layer. Shear force matching conditions are enforced along the interfaces between the embedded damping patch and the border patch by matching the shear forces of the embedded damping patch to the shear forces of the adjacent border patch. The natural frequencies and modal loss factors are calculated for cantilevered pretwisted composite blade with damping core with the present triangular element, and compared to experiments and MSC/NASTRAN using a layered combination of plate and solid elements.

In this paper, the time-domain finite element formulations for axisymmetric linear viscoelastic problems, especially for the viscoelastic hollow sphere and cylinder, under various boundary conditions are presented with the theoretical solutions of them obtained by using the elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle. It is assumed that the viscoelastic material behaves like a standard linear solid in distortion and elastically in dilatation. Numerical examples are solved based on the spherically symmetric, axisymmetric and plane strain finite element models. Good agreements are obtained between numerical and theoretical solutions, which shows the validity and accuracy of the presented method.

본 연구에서는 Upper Convected Maxwll 유체 및 Leonov-like-Giesekus 유체모형 을 이용하여 축대칭 4:1수축을 지나는 점탄서유체의 유동을 수치해석하였다. 이러한 점탄성 유체의 대한 지배방정식이 타원형-쌍곡선형으로 형식변화되므로 이를 적절히 고려할수 있 는 형태의 와도방정식을 이용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 와도방정식의 수치해석에서는 형 식에 따른 차분법을 도입하였다. 두 유체모형에 대해서 Weissenberg수를 증가시키면서 탄 성의 효과가 모서리와류의 크기, 응력의 분포 지배방정식의 형식변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴 보았다. 수치해석결과 탄성의 효과가 증가할수록 모서리와류가 커지며, 평면유동의 경우보다 훨씬 큰 모서리와류가 관찰되어 기존의 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것을 볼수 있었다. 또한 수 치해석 결과로부터 와도방정식의 형식변화를 확인할수 있었다.
