The purpose of this study was to investigate the seismic behavior of hollow circular reinforced concrete bridge columns with confinement steel, and to develop improved seismic design criteria. Three hollow circular columns were tested under a constant axial load and a quasi-static, cyclically reversed horizontal load. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced by using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. The numerical method used gives a realistic prediction of the seismic performance throughout the loading cycles for the several test specimens investigated. Based on the experimental and analytical results, design recommendations are presented to improve current practice in the design and construction of hollow circular reinforced concrete bridge columns.

In this paper, we have presented structural analysis procedure and full scale test results for 4-seater canard airplane. Construction of the finite element model is critical path for the aircraft structural analysis and directly affects the structural integrity. The refinement of the finite element model should be determined depending on full scale test results. From the results of the structural analysis, 5 design limit loads test conditions and 11 design ultimate loads test conditions were selected. By the presented procedure, the structural integrity of 4-Seater Canard Airplane is successfully obtained.

방파제 설계시 고려되는 파랑하중에 대한 설계 방법으로 기존 설계는 정수압만을 고려한 정적해석을 실시하였으며 최근 설계에서는 정정해석과 동적해석을 동시에 실시하고 있다. 하지만 이때의 동적해석 방법은 파랑하중에 의한 파압을 구조물내의 임의의 지점에서만 산정하여 등가파압으로 적용하여 해석을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 방파제의 경사면뿐만 아니라 해저지반에서의 파압을 추가적으로 고려함과 동시에 등 가파압이 아닌 모든 절점에서의 파압을 산정하여 파압을 적용하였다. 그 결과 현재의 설계법과 본연구의 설계법으로 구한 침하량의 값이 상당한 차이를 나타내고 있다.

In this study, nonlinear static aeroelastic analysis system for a high-aspect-ratio wing are developed using the transonic small disturbance (TSD) and large deflection beam theory and validated. For the coupling between fluid and structure, the transformation of displacement from the structural mesh to aerodynamic one is performed by the shape function of the beam finite element and the inverse transformation of force by work equivalent load concept. Also, for the static aeroelastic analysis of the wing the use of TSD aerodynamics are justified. The validation of the system includes one of the efficient transformation methods of force and displacement.

Currently, the response correction factor is calculated by comparing the response measured by the load test on a bridge with the response analyzed in the initial analytical model. Then the load rating and the load carrying capacity are evaluated. However, the response correction factor gives a value that fluctuates depending on the measurement location and load condition. In particular, when the initial analytical model is not suitable for representing the behavior of a bridge, the range of variation is large and the analysis response by the calibrated model may give a result that is different from the measured response. In this study, a pseudo-static load test was applied to obtain static response with dynamic components removed under various load conditions of a vehicle moving at a low speed. Static response was measured on two similar PSC-I girder bridges, and the response correction factors for displacement and strain were calculated for each of the two bridges. When the initial analysis model was not properly set up, it is verified that the response of the analytical model corrected by the average response correction factor does not fall within the margin of error with the measured response.

The predictions of the loading characteristics was performed by the neural networks which use the results through structural analysis. The momentum backperpagtion which can be modified the teaming rate and momentum coefficient, was developed. Input patterns of the neural networks are the 9 strains which positioned at the side of the shell and output layers is the loading characteristics. Hidden layers were increased from 1 layers to 3 layers. Developed program which were trained by 9 strains predict the loading characteristics under 0.5%. Inverse engineering can be applicable to the composite laminated cylindrical shells with developed neural networks.

In this paper, a method on deducing the capacity spectrum based on nonlinear earthquake response analysis will be introduced. Damage assessment of general building draws the capacity spectrum through the Push-over analysis and the intersection point of capacity spectrum and demand spectrum is seen as performance point. Push-over analysis is the way to perform static analysis by using the equivalent static load changed from the effect of earthquake and predict the behavior of structures by earthquake. But, this method can not be taken into account in the effects of higher mode and the dynamic characteristic. Therefore, in order to calculate the capacity spectrum under dynamic properties of building. A capacity spectrum from going ahead with the nonlinear earthquake response analysis is suggested.

In current practice of earthquake resistant design the equivalent lateral force procedure is widely used because of its simplicity and convenience. But the equivalent lateral force procedure is derived based on the assumptions that the dynamic behavior of the structure is governed primarily by the fundamental vibration mode and the effect of higher modes is included in an approximate manner. Therefore the prediction of dynamic responses of structures using the equivalent lateral force procedure is not reliable when the effect of higher vibration modes on the dynamic behavior is significant. In this study, design seismic load which can reflect the effect of higher vibration modes is proposed from the point of view of proper assessment of story shears which have the major influence on the design moment of beams and columns. To evaluate the effect of higher modes, differences between the story force based on the equivalent lateral force procedure specified in current earthquake resistance building code and the one based on modal analysis using design spectrum analysis are examined. From these results an improved design seismic load for the equivalent lateral force procedure which can reflect the effect of higher vibration modes are proposed.

Critical response of seawater pump impeller shaft structure to various exciting loads is a fundamental factor in re-designing of the structure after its functional failure. In this paper, a typical case of the shaft structure's failure is investigated for re-designing purposes. Failure causes of interest are excessive bending moment, fatigue loads and dynamic resonance due to relevant motor rotation and unbalancing of the rotation loads. Static analyses of shaft structure under the conditions of concerned loads are carried out, followed by a dynamic investigation of the effects of resonance between the shaft and the motor on the structure. The relevant structural analyses are carried out using the Finite Element Methods combined with ANSYS code. Based on these, the primary cause for the shaft's structural failure is obtained. It is found that the change of the bending stiffness of the shaft is the primary concern in the re-designing process. A guideline for the re-design process of the seawater pump shaft structure is established, and a re-design scheme of the structure is proposed.

최근 국민 삶의 질 향상, 건강한 먹거리 인식 및 국내 여건 변화 등으로 벼농사에 비해 상대적으로 소득 수준이 높은 밭작물 생산에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있으나, 관련 농업기계 개발이 미흡하여 밭농업 기계화가 절실한 실정이다. 밭작물의 경우 기계화율이 2015년 56.3%이며, 특히 파종, 이식작업이 5%, 수확작업이 13.3% 수준으로 열악한 실정임. 경운정지 기계화율은 99%를 넘으며, 방제 작업도 기계화율이 85~99% 수준으로 다른 작업에 비해 높은 실정으로, 파종, 이식, 수확작업의 기계화는 밭농업 일관기계를 위하여 반드시 필요하다. 감자는 주요 밭작물 중 하나로, 최근 가공용 소비로 수입량이 증가하여 국내에서 자주식 굴취/선별/수집형 수확기(2011, 농촌진흥청)가 개발되었으나, 가격이 높고 표피손상 등 개선이 필요하여 트랙터 부착형 수집형 감자수확기가 개발 중에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수집형 감자 수확기 시작기 구조해석을 하려고 한다. 우선 시작기의 도면을 CATIA를 활용하여 3D로 작성한 뒤, MIDAS NFX 시뮬레이션 및 구조해석 프로그램으로 구조해석을 진행하였다. 수행한 해석으로는 선형정적해석으로서 외부하중에 대해 구조물의 변형을 검토하는 해석이다. 재질은 SM45C로 선정하였고, 접촉조건과 구속조건을 설정한 뒤 감자수확기 굴취부에 집중하중을 200 ~ 1000 N 까지 200N 간격으로 선형정적해석을 진행하여 Von-Mises 응력, 허용응력, 극한응력, 안전율을 해석하였다.
