본 연구에서는 등가 에너지 개념에 근거하여 비좌굴 가새골조의 간편한 내진설계방법을 제안하였다. 단자유도계로 치환된 구조물의 지진 입력에너지를 응답 스펙트럼으로부터 구한 후, 탄성에너지와 소성에너지를 등가 에너지 개념을 이용하여 산정한다. 이렇게 구한 소성에너지를 분배비에 따라 각 층에 분배하고, 모든 소성에너지는 가새에 의하여 소산된다고 가정하여 각 가새의 단면적을 산정할 수 있다. 제안된 방법을 검증하기 위하여 3층, 6층, 20층 가새골조를 제안된 방법으로 주어진 목표변위를 만족하도록 설계하고, 인공지진을 이용하여 결과를 검증하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 저층 건물의 최상층 변위는 비교적 목표변위를 만족하였으나, 20층 건물의 최상층 변위는 목표변위보다 매우 작아 가새가 과다하게 설계된 것으로 나타났다.

Hysteretic energy is defined as energy dissipated through inelastic deformations during a ground motion by the system. It includes frequency content and duration of ground motion as two remarkable parameters, while these characteristics are not seen in displacement spectrum. Since maximum displacement individually cannot be the appropriate criterion for damage assessment, hysteretic energy has been evaluated in this research as a more comprehensive seismic demand parameter. An innovative methodology has been proposed to establish a new equivalent linear model to estimate hysteretic energy spectrum for bilinear SDOF models under two different sets of earthquake excitations. Error minimization has been defined in the space of equivalent linearization concept, which resulted in equivalent damping and equivalent period as representative parameters of the linear model. Nonlinear regression analysis was carried out for predicting these equivalent parameter as a function of ductility. The results also indicate differences between seismic demand characteristics of far-field and near-field ground motions, which are not identified by most of previous equations presented for predicting seismic energy. The main advantage of the proposed model is its independency on parameters related to earthquake and response characteristics, which has led to more efficiency as well as simplicity. The capability of providing a practical energy based seismic performance evaluation is another outstanding feature of the proposed model.

연속감속근사법(CSDA)과 감속평균선질계수를 이용하여 선량당량 정의에서의 본래의 LET분포 개념을 하전입자속 스펙트럼의 개념으로 변환함으로써 새로운 선량당량 산정법을 도출하였다. 이 산정법을 몬테칼로법에 적용함으로써 주어진 방사선장에 위치한 피사체 내에서의 선량당량을 직접적으로 간편하게 산출할 수 있다. 산정에 필요한 감속평균 선질계수는 중성자와 연조직과의 상호작용으로부터 발생될 수 있는 모든 하전입자에 대하여 10 MeV 이하의 에너지 범위에서 산출하여 제시하였다.

A new concept of equivalent homogenization is proposed. The concept employs new set of homogenized parameters: homogenized cross sections (XS) and interface matrix (IM), which relates partial currents at the celt interfaces. The idea of interface matrix generalizes the idea of discontinuity factors (DFs), proposed and developed by K.Koebke and K.Smith. The method of K.Smith can be simulated within framework of new method, while the new method approximates heterogeneous cell better in case of the steep flux gradients at the cell interfaces. The attractive shapes of new concept are: improved accuracy, simplicity of incorporation in the existing codes, equal numerical expenses in comparison to the K.Smith's approach. The new concept is useful for: (a) explicit reflector/baffle simulation; (b) control blades simulation; (c) mixed UO2/MOX core simulation, The offered model has been incorporated in the finite difference code and in the nodal code PANBOX. The numerical results show good accuracy of core calculations and insensitivity of homogenized parameters with respect to in- core conditions.

A simplified seismic design procedure for steel structures with buckling-restrained braces (BRB) was proposed based on the energy balance concept and the equal energy assumption. The input seismic energy was estimated from a design spectrum, and the elastic and hysteretic energy were computed using energy balance concept. The size of braces was determined so that the hysteretic energy demand was equal to the hysteretic energy dissipated by the BRB. The validity of using equivalent single-degree-of-freedom systems to estimate seismic input and hysteretic energy demand in multi story structures with BRB was investigated through time-history analysis. The story-wise distribution pattern of hysteretic energy demands was also obtained and was applied in the design process. According to analysis results, the maximum displacements of the 3-story structure designed in accordance with the proposed procedure generally coincided with the target displacements on the conservative side. The maximum displacements of the 6- and 8-story structures, however, turned out to be somewhat smaller than the target values due to the participation of higher vibration modes.

It is important to find the shear center of beam with arbitrary cross-section in structures. In this study, it is introduced to determine the shear center that gets the equivalent stiffness matrix representing arbitrary cross section of beam and applies concepts of equivalent energy. This method shows the results of applying on examples that the exact and approximate solution of open and cross section of beam is known. The shear center of composite rotor blade by the experiment and by the suggested method was compared in this study.

Corrugated flexible joint with bellows shape is widely used in many industrial fields as it provides a relatively simple means of absorbing mechanical vibration and deformation due to its inherent flexibility. In this study, an effective equivalent beam modeling technique of corrugated flexible joint bend using a commercial CAE software is proposed to reduce the excessive efforts and costs required for three dimensional shell modelling in vibration analysis of bellows shape structure. When this simple and practical technique, based on the strain energy concept, is employed to modify the beam sectional properties of the flexible joint bend, quite satisfactory results can be obtained.

국제방사선방어위원회(ICRP)는 최근의 권고 60(1990)에서 이전의 권고 26(1976)에는 없었던 새로운 용어들을 도입하였다. 이중에서도 동 위원회는 지금까지 사용되어 왔던 국제 방사선단위 및 측정위원회(ICRU) 개념의 '션량당량(dose equivalent)'을 대체하는 용어로 '등가선량(equivalent dose)'을 새로 정의하여 방사선방어 프로그램에의 적용을 권고하고 있다. 그러나 한편 동 위원회는 선량 당량이라는 용어도 여전히 채택하고 있기 때문에 경우에 따라 두 양의 사용시 불필요한 혼동을 불러일으킬 수가 있다. 따라서 본 해설문에서는 방사선 방어, 관리 및 측정분야 종사자들의 이해를 돕기 위하여 두 양의 정의와 사용상의 차이점에 대하여 정리하였다.

In this paper the extension of a recently established energy-based pushover procedure in order to include the higher mode contributions to the seismic response of structures is presented and preliminary evaluated. The steps of the proposed methodology in its new formulation are quite similar to those of the well-known Modal Pushover Analysis. However, the determination of the properties of the 'modal' equivalent single-degree-of-freedom systems is achieved by a rationally founded energy-based concept. Firstly, the theoretical background and the assumptions of the proposed methodology are presented and briefly discussed. Secondly, the sequence of steps to be followed for its implementation along with the necessary equations is systematically presented. The accuracy of the methodology is evaluated by an extensive parametric study which shows that, in general, it provides better results compared to those produced by other similar procedures. In addition, the main shortcoming of the initial version of the methodology now seems to be mitigated to a large extent.

As an alternative to current conventional force-based assessment methods, the energy-based seismic performance of a code-designed 20-storey high-rise steel building is evaluated in this paper. Using 3D nonlinear dynamic time-history method with consideration of additional material damping effect, the influences of different restoring force models and P-${\Delta}/{\delta}$ effects on energy components are investigated. By combining equivalent viscous damping and hysteretic damping ratios of the structure subjected to strong ground motions, a new damping model, which is amplitude-dependent, is discussed in detail. According to the analytical results, all energy components are affected to various extents by P-${\Delta}/{\delta}$ effects and a difference of less than 10% is observed; the energy values of the structure without consideration of P-${\Delta}/{\delta}$ effects are larger, while the restoring force models have a minor effect on seismic input energy with a difference of less than 5%, but they have a certain effect on both viscous damping energy and hysteretic energy with a difference of about 5~15%. The paper shows that the use of the hysteretic energy at its ultimate state as a seismic design parameter has more advantages than seismic input energy since it presents a more stable value. The total damping ratio of a structure consists of viscous damping ratio and hysteretic damping ratio and it is found that the equivalent viscous damping ratio is a constant for the structure, while the equivalent hysteretic damping ratio approximately increases linearly with structural response in elasto-plastic stage.
