This paper presents an investigation into the failure of RC columns under impact loadings. A numerical simulation of 19 identical RC columns subjected to single and repeated impact loadings was performed. A free-falling hammer was dropped at midspan with the same total kinetic energy input but varying mass and momentum. The specimens under the repeated impact test were struck two times at the same location. The colliding index, defined as the impact energy-momentum ratio, was proposed to explain the different impact responses under equal-energy impacts. The increase of colliding index from low to high indicates the transition of the impact response from static to dynamic and failure mode from flexure to shear. This phenomenon was more evident when the column had a greater axial load and was impacted with a high colliding index. The existence of the axial load had an inhibitory effect on the crack development and increased the shear resistance. The second impact changes the failure mode from flexural to brittle shear as found in the specimen with 20% axial load subjected to high a colliding index. Moreover, a deflection prediction equation based on the impact energy and force was limited to the low colliding index impact.

The collision energy absorbing characteristics of side structure of the LNG carriers which have the cargo containment systems of the spherical and the membrane types are compared. A failure mechanism of the double hull side structures of 130, 000 $m^3$ class LNG carriers under sideways collision event has been simulated by using the detailed finite element calculations. In ship collision analysis, the finite element method based on explicit time integration has been use[1 with much success. Finite element modeling techniques for detail description of structural members antral ship motion regarding the dynamic behavior allowed to investigate the effect of bow shape and the initial contact position on side shell of collided ship. In the numerical simulations of the ship-to-ship sideways collision, the effect of the colliding bow shapes and the change of the colliding ship draft are investigated. The critical collision energy which is absorbed by a side structure of a collided ship until the fore-end of colliding ship arrives at the boundary of the cargo tank is calculated. The critical speed of specified colliding ships which can not penetrate the boundary of the LNG cargo tank of the collided ship under collision accident if evaluated.

In this paper an efficient approach is introduced for design and analysis of double-layer grids including both geometrical and material nonlinearities, while the results are compared with those considering material nonlinearity. Optimum design procedure based on Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization method (ECBO) is applied to optimal design of two commonly used configurations of double-layer grids. Two ranges of spans as small and big sizes with certain bays of equal length in two directions are considered for each type of square grids. ECBO algorithm obtains minimum weight grid through appropriate selection of tube sections available in AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). Strength constraints of AISC-LRFD specifications and displacement constraints are imposed on these grids.

This study presents the results of collision and lift analyses of a cylinders-connected protector under stock anchor colliding and dragging. For the analyses, the terminal velocity of the stock anchor was obtained first, and, then, the velocity was used to calculate the falling distance of the stock anchor in air. In addition, two other falling distances were considered for purposes of comparison. From the finite element analyses, using ANSYS, the maximum responses obtained from the stock anchor colliding and dragging were obtained and compared for different collision distances (3, 5, and 8.83 m) and dragging angles (0, 30, 60, $90^{\circ}$). Then, the maximum displacements and stresses were discussed, along with the strength and dimensions of the protector. Finally, conclusions were made for the maximum responses.

This paper presents the application of a recently developed meta-heuristic algorithm, called Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO), for size and topology optimization of steel trusses. This method is based on the one-dimensional collisions between two bodies, where each agent solution is considered as a body. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated through four benchmark trusses for minimum weight with static and dynamic constraints. A comparison of the numerical results of the CBO with those of other available algorithms indicates that the proposed technique is capable of locating promising solutions using lesser or identical computational effort, with no need for internal parameter tuning.

This paper presents a study on the analysis of impact responses taking into account sensor dynamics. The contact force between impacting bodies is modelled by using Hertz force-displacement law and linear damping function. Since the real impact force and acceleration at the contact surface of two colliding bodies are measured indirectly by the sensors, the measured outputs can be a little different from the real impact responses. Therefore, in this study, the importance of consideration of sensor dynamics in the impact problems of two colliding bodies is emphasized. In order to verify the appropriateness of the proposed contact force model, the drop type impact test using two kinds of sensors is carried out. Through the numerical analysis and experiment, the effect of sensor dynamics and characteristics on the contact force model is investigated.

본 연구에서는 다각형 메쉬 모델들에 대한 시뮬레이션 수행시 주요 병목현상으로 제기되는 충돌감지의 효율성을 높이기 위하여, 연속 시간사이에서 이산시간 스위프트로 형성된 프리즘을 단위로 하는 효율적 메쉬 컬링 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 우선, 연속 시간사이에서 대응되는 두 삼각형을 이용하여 프리즘을 정의하고, 프리즘 단위의 폐쇄검사(Occlusion Query) 기반 가시성 테스트(Visibility Test)를 실시하여, 교차 가능성이 없는 프리즘을 세부 충돌테스트의 대상에서 제외시킨다. 또한, 가시성 테스트 결과로 추출된 프리즘의 충돌가능 집합(PCS: Potential Colliding Set)에서 충돌 가능성이 없는 프리즘의 쌍들을 분리축 테스트(SAT: Separating Axis Test)을 기반으로 분류하는 협대역 컬링(Narrow Band Culling)을 수행한다. 분리축 테스트 시, 두 프리즘의 영역을 각각의 반공간(Half Space)에 포함시키는 평면을 정의하고 이에 수직인 주축을 정의하여, 단일 주축에 대한 분리 검사를 수행함으로써 수행 효율성을 높인다. 제안기법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 서로 다른 크기의 벤치마크 모델을 선정하고, 제안 기법 적용 전후의 세부 층돌검사 대상 프리즘 쌍의 수를 비교하였다. 또한, 단일 주축에 대한 분리축 테스트 기반 컬링의 효율성을 입증하기 위하여, 프리즘 쌍에 대한 가시성테스트 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 2916개와 2731개의 삼각형으로 구성된 두 메쉬모델에 대한 컬링 실험에서, 제안 컬링기법 적용시 99%의 효과적인 컬링결과를 얻었다.

Questions of how our Milky Way evolves through the interaction with its environment have been constantly raised. One particularly interesting question is how the metallicity would change as our Milky Way goes through collision with HVCs. Because of the possibility of HVCs providing fuel for star formation in the Galactic disk, we simulate the collision between HVCs and the Galactic disk. More specifically, we trace how the Galactic metallicity changes throughout the process of HVCs colliding with our Milky Way based upon a specific scenario that HVCs are primordial gas left-overs from an ancient galaxy formation. Such mixing between metal-rich gas (disk) and metal-poor HVC can be traced by running numerical simulations with the FLASH code due to its capability of tracking down the abundance change of a specific element such as carbon at each time step of the hydrodynamic evolution. As for now, we give how this mixing depends on model parameters that we choose such as collision speed, initial metallicities, temperature and so on.
