대부분의 기존 내진해석은 지반과 구조물을 각각 구분하여 수행되었고, 초고층 건물과 저층 건물에 대한 동적거동 비교 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초고층 건물과 저층 건물의 동적거동을 파악하기 위하여 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 선정된 파라미터별로 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 초고층 건물의 수평변위, 층간변위비, 휨응력은 지반조건이 연약할수록, 저층 건물보다 장주기 지진파의 영향을 더 받는것으로 나타났다. 또한 초고층과 저층 건물의 취약부는 지반조건보다는 지진파의 종류의 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 지반조건 및 지진파 종류가 건물에 미치는 영향을 참고하면 건물의 내진설계에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

충돌보호공은 해저지반에 깊게 근입되어 있으며 돌핀을 의미하는 상부는 단단한 콘트리트 뚜껑으로 막혀지고 쇄석으로 채워진 원형의 속채움 시트파일의 배열로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 돌핀의 거동을 규명하기 위해 총 7회의 준정적실험과 11회의 동적 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 주요한 실험적 결과는 다음과 같다. 우선, 준정적실험의 실험적인 힘-변위 결과는 채움재 강성과 관련된 채움 밀도의 변화로부터 구조물의 초기 강성에 대한 영향을 보여준다. 그리고 동일한 변위에서의 에너지 소산을 비교해보면 더 조밀한 채움에서 직경 20m 돌핀은 16%, 직경 30m 돌핀은 23% 정도 소산율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 30m 직경의 돌핀이 더 큰 민감도를 갖는 것은 채움재의 변형률이 에너지소산에 대해 보다 크게 기여하기 때문이다. 동 정적 충돌실험결과, 일반적으로 동적 응답이 준정적 응답보다 26~58%까지 크고 더 작은 변위에서 에너지 소산이 발생되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 돌핀 구조물의 거동예측 시 준정적 응답특성을 사용하는 것이 보수적이라는 것을 알 수 있으며, 하부충돌 시 돌핀 저항력은 상부충돌 시와 동일하거나 더 우세한 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the effect of the homogenization models on buckling and free vibration is presented for simply supported functionally graded plates (FGM) resting on elastic foundation. The majority of investigations developed in the last decade, explored the Voigt homogenization model to predict the effective proprieties of functionally graded materials at the macroscopic-scale for FGM mechanical behavior. For this reason, various models have been used to derive the effective proprieties of FGMs and simulate thereby their effects on the buckling and free vibration of FGM plates based on comparative studies that may differ in terms of several parameters. The refined plate theory, as used in this paper, is based on dividing the transverse displacement into both bending and shear components. This leads to a reduction in the number of unknowns and governing equations. Furthermore the present formulation utilizes a sinusoidal variation of displacement field across the thickness, and satisfies the stress-free boundary conditions on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate without requiring any shear correction factor. Equations of motion are derived from Hamilton's principle. Analytical solutions for the buckling and free vibration analysis are obtained for simply supported plates. The obtained results are compared with those predicted by other plate theories. This study shows the sensitivity of the obtained results to different homogenization models and that the results generated may vary considerably from one theory to another. Comprehensive visualization of results is provided. The analysis is relevant to aerospace, nuclear, civil and other structures.

The vibration exciter with the accurate calibration requires a low distortion along a single axis over a wide range of frequency. The fabricated piezoelectric exciter was composed of a base, piezoelectric element(Venitron PZT 5A), electrode and seismic mass. Its performance characteristics is evaluated the Mach-Zehnder optical fiber interferometer. The phase of the optical wave passing through the optical fiber around the piezoelectric element was related the vibrational amplitude with a change of the applied sinusoidal voltage on the piezoelectric element. The dynamic characteristics of vibration exciter can be obtained by measuring the vibrational amplitude with a sinusoidal applied voltage on the piezoelectric element. The sensitivity of the fabricated piezoelectric exciter had a 0.4 nm/V which was uniform up to 20 kHz.

The potential of the liquid column vibration absorber (LCVA) as a seismic vibration control device for structures has been explored in this paper. In this work, the structure has been modeled as a linear, viscously damped single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. The governing differential equations of motion for the damper liquid and for the coupled structure-LCVA system have been derived from dynamic equilibrium. The nonlinear orifice damping in the LCVA has been linearized by a stochastic equivalent linearization technique. A transfer function formulation for the structure-LCVA system has been presented. The design parameters of the LCVA have been identified and by applying the transfer function formulation the optimum combination of these parameters has been determined to obtain the most efficient control performance of the LCVA in terms of the reduction in the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) displacement response of the structure. The study has been carried out for an example structure subjected to base input characterized by a white noise power spectral density function (PSDF). The sensitivity of the performance of the LCVA to the coefficient of head loss and to the tuning ratio have also been examined and compared with that of the liquid column damper (LCD). Finally, a simulation study has been carried out with a recorded accelerogram, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the LCVA.

Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS), which has the advantages of a substructure pseudo-dynamic test, is widely used to investigate the rate-dependent mechanical response of structures under earthquake excitation. However, time delay in RTHS can cause inaccurate results and experimental instabilities. Thus, this study proposes a model-based adaptive control strategy using a Kalman filter (KF) to minimize the time delay and improve RTHS stability and accuracy. In this method, the adaptive control strategy consists of three parts-a feedforward controller based on the discrete inverse model of a servohydraulic actuator and physical specimen, a parameter estimator using the KF, and a feedback controller. The KF with the feedforward controller can significantly reduce the variable time delay due to its fast convergence and high sensitivity to the error between the desired displacement and the measured one. The feedback control can remedy the residual time delay and minimize the method's dependence on the inverse model, thereby improving the robustness of the proposed control method. The tracking performance and parametric studies are conducted using the benchmark problem in RTHS. The results reveal that better tracking performance can be obtained, and the KF's initial settings have limited influence on the proposed strategy. Virtual RTHSs are conducted with linear and nonlinear physical substructures, respectively, and the results indicate brilliant tracking performance and superb robustness of the proposed method.

계가 혼돈거동을 나타낼 경우에는 변수들의 미소변화에 의해서도 계가 전혀 다른 거동을 나타낼 수 있기 때문에 비선형계의 설계 및 해석시에는 이를 고려해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구형 쉘의 중앙에 충격하중이 수직방향으로 작용하는 경우, 쉘의 기하학적 비선형성과 재료적 비선형성으로부터 기인되는 혼돈거동을 해석하였다. 쉘의 탄소성거동을 유한요소법을 이용하여 구한 후 계의 거동을 변위-시간이력, 프앙카레 맵, phase diagram등의 표준적인 방법들을 이용하여 쉘의 혼돈거동을 규명하였다. 해석결과, 계는 혼돈거동을 나타내었으나 탄소성보의 경우와는 달리 초기조건의 미소변화에 대한 극도의 민감도는 나타나지 않았으며 시간에 대한 쉘의 거동특성도 크게 변하지 않았다. 프앙카레 맵은 한정된 영역에 결쳐서 점들이 분포되었기 때문에 계의 거동이 혼돈거동임을 보여 주고 있지만 혼돈계의 프앙카레 맵에서 나타나는 기하학적 구조는 나타나지 않았다. 에너지선도를 이용하여 쉘이 하중의 작용방향 또는 반대방향으로 불규칙적으로 snap-through되는 원인을 규명하였다.

최근 경주 포항 등 대도시에서 지진이 발생하고 이에 각 분야에서의 내진해석 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 기존 내진해석은 지상구조물과 지반을 따로 다루었기 때문에 지반과 구조물의 완전한 상호 동적거동에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건물만 고려하는 지하구조물 고정단 모델과 건물과 지반을 함께 고려하는 연속체 모델을 각각 적용하기 위해 MIDAS GEN 및 MIDAS GTS NX를 이용하여 민감도 분석을 수행하고 SSI를 고려한 동적해석의 타당성을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 대부분의 조건에서 지하구조물 고정단 모델이 연속체 모델보다 초고층 건물의 최대 순수 수평변위를 더 작게, 휨응력을 더 크게, 또한, 취약부의 범위는 더 작게 산출하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 내진해석 시 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 연속체 모델을 사용하는 것이 보다 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

Although it is widely accepted that the interaction -between masonry infill and structural members significantly affects the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, this interaction is generally neglected in current design-oriented seismic analyses of structures. Moreover, the role of masonry infill is expected to be even more relevant in the case of existing frames designed only for gravitational loads, as infill walls can significantly modify both lateral strength and stiffness. However, the additional contribution to both strength and stiffness is often coupled to a modification of the global collapse mechanisms possibly resulting in brittle failure modes, generally related to irregular distributions of masonry walls throughout the frame. As a matter of principle, accurate modelling of masonry infill should be at least carried out by adopting nonlinear 2D elements. However, several practice-oriented proposals are currently available for modelling masonry infill through equivalent (nonlinear) strut elements. The present paper firstly outlines some of the well-established models currently available in the scientific literature for modelling infill panels in seismic analyses of RC frames. Then, a parametric analysis is carried out in order to demonstrate the consequences of considering such models in nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of existing RC structures. Two bay-frames with two-, three- and four-storeys are considered for performing nonlinear analyses aimed at investigating some critical aspects of modelling masonry infill and their effects on the structural response. Particularly, sensitivity analyses about specific parameters involved in the definition of the equivalent strut models, such as the constitutive force-displacement law of the panel, are proposed.

The determination of the damage index to reveal the performance level of a structure can constitute the seismic risk generalization approach based on the parametric analysis. This study implemented this concept to one kind of civil engineering structure that is the concrete gravity dam. Different cases of the structure exhibit their individual responses, which constitute different considerations. Therefore, this approach allows the parametric study of concrete as well as soil for evaluating the seismic nature in the generalized case. To ensure that the target algorithm applicable to most of the concrete gravity dams, a very simple procedure has been considered. In order to develop a correlated algorithm (by response surface methodology; RSM) between the ground motion and the structural property, randomized sampling was adopted through a stochastic method called half-fractional central composite design. The responses in the case of fluid-foundation-dam interaction (FFDI) make it more reliable by introducing the foundation as being bounded by infinite elements. To evaluate the seismic generalization of FFDI models, incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) was carried out under the impacts of various earthquake records, which have been selected from the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center data. Here, the displacement-based damage indexed fragility curves have been generated to show the variation in the seismic pattern of the dam. The responses to the sensitivity analysis of the various parameters presented here are the most effective controlling factors for the concrete gravity dam. Finally, to establish the accuracy of the proposed approach, reliable verification was adopted in this study.
