Masonry walls are amongst the oldest building systems. A large portion of the research on these structures focuses on the load-bearing walls. Numerical methods have been generally used in modelling load-bearing walls during recent years. In this context, macro and micro modelling techniques emerge as widely accepted techniques. Micro modelling is used to investigate the local behaviour of load-bearing walls in detail whereas macro modelling is used to investigate the general behaviour of masonry buildings. The main objective of this study is to investigate the elastic behaviour of the load- bearing walls in masonry buildings by using micro modelling technique. In order to do this the brick and mortar units of the masonry walls are modelled by the combination of plane truss elements and plane frame elements with no shear deformations. The model used in this study has fewer unknowns then the models encountered in the references. In this study the vertical frame elements have equivalent elasticity modulus and moment of inertia which are calculated by the developed software. Under in-plane static loads the elastic displacements of the masonry walls, which are encountered in literature, are calculated by the developed software, where brick units are modelled by plane frame elements, horizontal joints are modelled by vertical frame elements and vertical joints are modelled by horizontal plane truss elements. The calculated results are compatible with those given in the references.

In modern buildings, glass is considered a structurally unsafe material due to its brittleness and unpredictable failure behavior. The possible use of structural glass elements (i.e., floors, beams and columns) is generally prevented by its poor tensile strength and a frequent occurrence of brittle failures. In this study an innovative modelling based on an equivalent thickness concept of laminated glass beam reinforced with FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) composite material and of glass plates punched is presented. In particular, the novel numerical modelling applied to an embedding Carbon FRP-rod in the interlayer of a laminated structural glass beam is considered in order to increase both its failure strength, together with its post-failure strength and ductility. The proposed equivalent modelling of different specimens enables us to carefully evaluate the effects of this reinforcement. Both the responses of the reinforced beam and un-reinforced one are evaluated, and the corresponding results are compared and discussed. A novel equivalent modelling for reinforced glass beams using FRP composites is presented for FEM analyses in modern material components and proved estimations of the expected performance are provided. Moreover, the new suggested numerical analysis is also applied to laminated glass plates with wide holes at both ends for the technological reasons necessary to connect a glass beam to a structure. Obtained results are compared with an integer specimen. Experimental considerations are reported.

This paper presents the detailed modelling of reactor vessel ledge region for the dynamic analysis of the coupled internals and core model. The dynamic responses due to earthquake and pipe break are calculated using the input motions of reactor vessel taken from Ulchin nuclear power plant units 3 and 4. Two different representations for detailed and simplified models of the RV ledge region are made. The dynamic responses of the reactor internals components are compared between them. Response characteristics are reported and simplified model is suggested for earthquake and pipe break analysis for the future design of the reactor internals.

본 연구에서는 수학적 모델링에 관한 주제로 국내 학회지에 실린 총 11편의 선행 연구 및 22편의 석사학위논문을 대상으로 그 밖의 국내외 문헌을 참조하여 수학적 모델링에 관한 이해를 도모하고자 하였다. 우선, 수학적 모델링의 의미와 과정을 살펴보고, 수학적 모델링과 문제해결의 관계를 살펴보았는데, 그 결과 수학적 모델링의 중요성을 부각시키기 위한 노력 내지 의도 하에 문제해결의 진정한 의미가 다소 축소되고 간과되는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이어서 수학적 모델링의 주요 특징을 탐색해 보고, 수학적 모델링 문제와 문제해결에서 정의되는 문제의 관계를 살펴보았는데, 이는 문제해결에서의 수학 외적 소재를 수반하는 문제의 의미 내지 범주가 보다 분명히 밝혀질 때 두 문제 사이의 범주 및 관계도 정립될 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로, 본 연구에서는 문제해결 문제와의 비교를 떠나 수학적 모델링 문제 자체가 지니고 있는 특징을 간추려 제시하였다. 끝으로, 수학적 모델링 과정의 전반적인 이해를 돕기 위하여 폴리아의 문제해결 과정과 연계지어 간략히 제시하였다.

Stochastic phenomena induce us to construct a probability model and structure our thinking; corresponding models help us to understand and interpret the reality. They in turn equip us with tools to recognize, reconstruct and solve problems. Therefore, various implications in terms of methodology as well as epistemology naturally flow from different adoptions of models for probability. Right from the basic scenarios of different perspectives to explore reality, students are occasionally exposed to misunderstanding and misinterpretations. With realistic examples a multi-faceted image of probability and different interpretation will be considered in mathematical modelling activities. As an exploratory investigation, mathematical modelling activity for probability learning was elaborated through semiotic analysis. Especially, the coherence structure in mathematical modelling discourse was reviewed form a semiotic perspective. The discourses sampled from group activities were analyzed on the basis of semiotic perspectives taxonomical coherence relations.

The modelling approach in the case of connections in precast buildings is specific. The assembly of the constitutive parts of the connection requires the inclusion of contact definitions in the model. In addition, the material non-linearity including the influence of the spatial stress distribution should be taken into account where appropriate. Here a complex model of a beam-to-column dowel connection is presented. Experiments on the analysed connection were performed within the framework of the European project SAFECAST (Performance of Innovative Mechanical Connections in Precast Building Structures under Seismic Conditions). Several material and interaction parameters were investigated and the influence of each of them was evaluated. The set of parameters which gave the best match with the experiments was chosen.

We have experimented an actual solar water heating system acquiring real data for one year period. On the basis of the operation data, it is necessary to predict the system performance such as collector efficiency and solar fraction, and to analyze the economical efficiency for system optimal design. To estimate the performance of actual systems through simulation, valid modelling for components consisting of the system should be accompanied. The present study is focused on the modelling for load patterns and operating control conditions. We proposed two load models: concentration model which gathers real loads as a meaningful group and distribution model which disperses real loads with time. If grouping of the load distribution is suitable, the predicted values by the concentration model approaches to those by the distribution model close to actual load pattern apparently. As a result, both of them are in good agreement with those by experiment.

A catchment modelling system is the summation of the numerous hydrologic, hydraulic and other process models necessary to simulate the response of a catchment to a storm event. Differences between the recorded catchment response and that predicted by a catchment modelling system can arise from structural errors within the catchment modelling system, evaluation errors in the control parameters, or measurement errors in the recorded data being used to assess the reliability of the evaluation of the control parameters. Presented herein is an investigation of the potential measurement errors within the recorded information, which was considered to occur from instrument error in the ultra sonic flow monitor. This investigation was undertaken using three available rating curves at the Musgrave Avenue Stormwater System in Centennial Park, Sydney, developed by Abustan (1997), Water Board (1994), and using Manning's equation.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop the new technique for the analysis of seasonal time series by extending the vector sample auto-correlation function(VSACF), which was developed for ARMA modelling procedure. After the problems of VSACF for modelling seasonal time series are investigated, the adjacent variance is defined and used for decomposing the seasonal factor from the seasonal time series. The seasonal indices are calculated and the VSACF is applied to the transformed series. The automatic procedure for modelling seasonal time series is suggested and applied to the real data, the international airline passenger travel.
