The purpose of this study is to analyze the collapse characteristics of widely used spot welded section members coated damping material Y1000 and to develop an analysis method for acquiring exact collapse loads and energy absorption ratio. Hat-shaped thin-walled members have the biggest energy absorbing capacity in a front-end collision. The sections were tested on quasi-static and impact loads. Specimens with two type thickness, width ratio and spot weld pitch on the flange have been tested in impact velocities(6.73n0sec and 7.54n1sec) which imitate a real-life car collision. As a result, it was developed the system for acquiring impact energy absorbing characteristics of structure united thin-walled member and damping materials.

In this paper, the seismic behavior of a 10-story building equipped with viscoelastic dampers is analyzed. The effects of ambient temperature, the thickness, the total area, and the position of the viscoelastic dampers are studied. Results indicate that the energy-absorbing capacity of viscoelastic damper decreases with increasing the ambient temperature. The thickness and the total area of viscoelastic dampers also affect the seismic mitigation capacity. The thickness cannot be too small, which is not effective in vibration reduction, nor can it be too large, which not only increases the cost but also reduces the seismic resistance. The total area of viscoelastic dampers should be determined properly for optimum damper performance at the most economical design. The mounting position of viscoelastic dampers also influences the structure's seismic performance. Numerical results show that, if properly equipped, the VE dampers can reduce the structural response both floor displacement and story shear force and increase the overall level of damping in structures during earthquakes.

In this paper, collapse test of thin-walled structural member widely used for automobiles is carried out under static compression load to observe the effects of cross- sectional shape and material on the energy absorbing capacity in the viewpoint of cras- hworthiness. Specimens tested consist of two sorts(Aluminium, CFRP) and configur- ations(Circular, Square) with variation in thickness. Also, comparisons of Al circular and square specimens are made to find the influence of difference in shape on the energy absorbing capability according as the thickness of specimen varies.

In this paper, numerically evaluated is the crashworthiness of the new design of the standard Korea Electric Multiple Unit Train(K-EMU)[developed by the Korea Railway Research Institute]. The 4-car consist of K-EMU is analyzed under collision conditions such as normal coupling, heavy shunting, light collision and heavy collision to collide against another stationary one at 5 kph, 10 kph, 25 kph and 32 kph, respectively. Energy absorbing capacity of its draftgear commercially available in the market and to be equipped in K-EMU is evaluated under each collision condition. Analytical results show that draftgear only is not enough to provide necessary energy absorbing capacity. It is therefore concluded that additional energy absorbers like mechanical fuses should be adopted to improve the crashworthiness of K-EMU.

본 연구는 기존의 낙석방지울타리에 적용되는 와이어로프를 경강선으로 대체하고 소재 및 체결부에 대한 실내성능실험과 더불어 현장에서의 수직낙하시험을 통해 전체적인 에너지 흡수능력을 평가하여 새로운 낙석방지울타리를 개발하는데 있다. 12단 경강선 적용 낙석방지울타리의 수직낙하시험 결과, 국내 낙석방지울타리에 기준으로 적용되는 흡수에너지인 50kJ 이상의 에너지를 흡수하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 경강선 단수가 12단에서 16단으로 증가함에 따라 에너지 흡수능력도 향상되었다. 이러한 새로운 낙석방지울타리를 도로공사 절취사면 현장에 성공적으로 적용하였다. 그 결과, 시공성은 기존에 비해 별차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나 미관상 전체적으로 심플하고 깨끗한 이미지를 연출할 수 있었다. 경제성 분석결과에 있어서는 전체 건설비용에 있어 기존 대비 약 20% 정도 절감되는 것으로 나타났다.

It is important to evaluate energy absorption capacity of frames required during a design earthquake. An inelastic computer analysis based on mathematical modelling of energy absorbing frames and elements makes it possible to evaluate required energy absorption capacity. But such an analysis sometimes consumes much computation time particularly in case of complicated structural system. This paper presents a proposal to predict energy absorption of multi-bent steel frames by simple equivalent linear method.

In this study, I used wood pellets as an eco-friendly sound-absorbing material. The aim of the research was to analyze the effect of the filling height of wood pellets on sound absorption. This was done using two types of wood pellets of different lengths (A group: 1.5-3 cm, B group: less than 1.5 cm). With increasing filling height of the wood pellets, the optimum sound absorption shifted towards a lower frequency. The group B wood pellets had better sound absorption capacity than the group A ones. The optimum sound absorption coefficient of group A filled to a height of 7 cm was 0.722 at 864 Hz. On the other hand, that of group B filled to a height of 7 cm was 0.764 at 862 Hz, 5.82% higher than that of group A. While wood pellets are used as an eco-friendly fuel, the results of this study suggest the possibility of using wood pellets as an eco-friendly sound-absorbing material.

The structural members must be designed to control characteristics of energy absorption for protecting passengers in a car accident. Study on collapse characteristics of structural member is currently conducted in parallel with other studies on effective energy absorption capacity of structural members with diverse cross-sectional shapes and various materials. This study concerns the crashworthiness of the widely used vehicle structural members, square thin-walled tubes, which are excellent in the point of the energy absorption capacity. The absorbed energy, mean collapse load and deformation mode were analyzed for side member which absorbs most of the collision energy. To predict and control the energy absorption, controller is designed in consideration of its influence on height, thickness and width ration in this study. The absorbed energy and mean collapse load of square tubes were increased by $15{\sim}20%$ in using the controller, and energy absorbing capability of the specimen was slightly changed by change of the high controller's height.

낙석방지울타리는 도로절개면 상부에서 발생한 낙석의 도로 유입을 차단하기 위하여 설치되는 구조물로 국내 국도 절개면 중 70%이상 시공되어 있다. 이와 같이 도로 절개면의 재해예방을 위하여 범용적으로 사용되는 시설물로서 그 중요성이 매우 강조될 수 있으나 국내의 경우 아직까지 설계 및 시공에 대한 기준이 미흡하고 절개면의 높이, 경사도 등 특성을 고려하지 않은 단일 표준단면도에 의해 설계, 시공되어 이의 효율성에 한계가 있는 것이 사실이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 현장실험을 통해 낙석방지울타리의 흡수가능에너지를 파악하였다. 실험을 위하여 높이 20m, 경사 65도의 절개면을 선정하여 4개 규모의 콘크리트 볼(0.7, 1.3, 2.3, 4.3 톤)을 절개면 상부로부터 낙하시켜 낙석방지 울타리의 성능을 평가하였다. 본 논문은 시공완료된 절개면을 대상으로 현장실물실험을 통해 낙석운동에너지, 암반의 반발계수, 낙석방지울타리의 흡수에너지 등을 산정하여 절개면 특성별 낙석방지울타리의 설계에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 현장실험을 통해 획득한 낙석방지울타리의 흡수가능에너지는 약 50kJ로 이는 약 0.4톤의 낙석이 10m의 높이에서 낙하할 때 발생하는 에너지와 동일하다.
