Endbeam is an important structural member of freight bogie for the support of service loading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is necessary. However, endbeam occur fatigue fracture in dynamic stress concentration location because comparatively strength and stiffness are low. Therefore, structure analysis is performed to evaluate structural problem of endbeam and local strain range as durability analysis. The number of cycles is extracted concerning the bogie in operation by measurement dynamic stress time history on critical part which is crack initiation in actual fact. At this time rainflow cycle counting is used to consider change of stress for operating condition. Based on the fatigue life curves and the stress analysis, the fatigue life of the endbeam is predicted and compared with the experimentally determined fatigue life, resulting in a fairly good correlation.

A new computational approach for the rain load on the transmission tower is presented to obtain the responses of system subjected to the wind and rain combined excitations. First of all, according to the similarity theory, the aeroelastic modeling of high-voltage transmission tower is introduced and two kinds of typical aeroelastic models of transmission towers are manufactured for the wind tunnel tests, which are the antelope horn tower and pole tower. And then, a formula for the pressure time history of rain loads on the tower structure is put forward. The dynamic response analyses and experiments for the two kinds of models are carried out under the wind-induced and wind-rain-induced actions with the uniform and turbulent flow. It has been shown that the results of wind-rain-induced responses are bigger than those of only wind-induced responses and the rain load influence on the transmission tower can't be neglected during the strong rainstorm. The results calculated by the proposed method have a good agreement with those by the wind tunnel test. In addition, the wind-rain-induced responses along and across the wind direction are in the same order of response magnitude of towers.

The integrity assessment of reactor vessel internals should be conducted in the design process to secure the safety of nuclear power plants. Various loads such as self-weight, seismic load, flow-induced load, and preload are applied to the internals. Therefore, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Section III, defines the stress limit for reactor vessel internals. The present study focused on structural response analyses of the upper guide structure upper flange. The distributions of the stress intensity in the flange body were analyzed under various design load cases during normal operation. The allowable stress intensities along the expected sections of stress concentration were derived from the results of the finite element analysis for evaluating the structural integrity of the flange design. Furthermore, seismic analyses of the upper flange were performed to identify dynamic behavior with respect to the seismic and impact input. The mode superposition and full transient methods were used to perform time-history analyses, and the displacement at the lower end of the flange was obtained. The effect of the damping ratio on the response of the flange was also evaluated, and the acceleration was obtained. The results of elastic and seismic analyses in this study will be used as basic information to judge whether a flange design meets the acceptance criteria.

Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) have been developed as a practical tool to estimate the seismic demand of structures. Several researches have accomplished to minimize errors of NSPs, namely pushover procedures, in the Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NTHA), as the most exact method. The most important issue in a typical pushover procedure is the pattern and technique of loading which are extracted based on structural dynamic fundamentals. In this paper, the coefficients of modal force combination is focused involving a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm to find the optimum load pattern which results in a response with minimum amount of errors in comparison to the NTHA counterpart. Other parameters of the problem are based on the FEMA recommendations for pushover analysis of building structures. The proposed approach is implemented on a high-rise 20 storey concrete moment resisting frame under three earthquake records. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the studied procedure the results are presented beside other well-known pushover methods such as MPA and the FEMA procedures, and the results show the efficiency of the proposed load patterns.

The purpose of this raper is to assess the benefits of frequency domain fatigue analysis and compare it with more conventional time domain techniques. The multi-body dynamic analysis, FE analysis and fatigue life prediction technique are applied for the frequency domain fatigue analysis. To obtain the dynamic load history used in the frequency domain fatigue analysis, the computer simulations running over typical road Profiles are carried out by utilizing vehicle dynamic model. The fatigue life estimation for the rear suspension system of small-sized passenger car is performed by using resonance durability analysis technique, and the estimation results are compared with the conventional quasi-static durability analysis results. For the pothole simulation, the percent changes, of the fatigue life between the two durability analysis techniques don't exceed 10%. But for the Belgian road simulation because of the resonance effect, the fatigue life using the resonance durability analysis technique are much smaller estimated than the quasi-static durability analysis results.

Recently, the concept of an outrigger damper system with a damper added to the existing outrigger system has been developed and applied for dynamic response control of high-rise buildings. However, the study on the structural characteristics and design method of Outrigger damper system is in the early stages. In this study, a 50 story high - rise building was designed and an outrigger damper system with viscoelastic damper was applied for wind response control. The time history analysis was performed by using the kaimal spectrum to create an artificial wind load for a total of 1,000 seconds at 0.1 second intervals. Analysis of the top horizontal maximum displacement response and acceleration response shows that outrigger damper systems are up to 28.33% and 49.26% more effective than conventional outrigger systems, respectively. Also, it is confirmed that the increase of damping ratio of dampers is effective for dynamic response control. However, since increasing the damping capacity increases the economic burden, it is necessary to select the appropriate stiffness and damping value of the outrigger damper system.

Structural parameter evaluation and external force estimation are two important parts of structural health monitoring. But the structural parameter identification with limited input information is still a challenging problem. A new simultaneous identification method in time domain is proposed in this study to identify the structural parameters and evaluate the external force. Each sampling point in the time history of external force is taken as the unknowns in force evaluation. To reduce the number of unknowns for force evaluation the time domain measurements are divided into several windows. In each time window the structural excitation is decomposed by orthogonal polynomials. The time-variant excitation can be represented approximately by the linear combination of these orthogonal bases. Structural parameters and the coefficients of decomposition are added to the state variable to be identified. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is augmented and selected as the mathematical tool for the implementation of state variable evaluation. The proposed method is validated numerically with simulation studies of a time-invariant linear structure, a hysteretic nonlinear structure and a time-variant linear shear frame, respectively. Results from the simulation studies indicate that the proposed method is capable of identifying the dynamic load and structural parameters fairly accurately. This method could also identify the time-variant and nonlinear structural parameter even with contaminated incomplete measurement.

본 연구에서는 터널 내 통과차량에 의하여 발생하는 풍하중으로 인한 터널라이닝의 동적거동에 대하여 분석하였다. 차량으로 인한 풍하중은 목표지점을 지나가는 차량에 대하여 압력과 팽창을 나타내는 시간함수를 이용하여 모형화 하였으며, 파형강판으로 이루어진 터널라이닝은 3차원 쉘 요소를 사용하였다. 쉘 요소로 모델링된 3차원 터널라이닝의 동적해석은 많은 양의 메모리와 시간이 요구되지만 파형강판의 동적특성을 반영하는 한편 최대한 단순화된 모형을 제시하여 해석에 이용하였다. 터널라이닝의 변위를 분석하기 위해 다양한 차량 주행 조건 및 맞바람 풍속이 고려되었다. 차량과 풍속이 증가하면 응답 또한 증가하였으며, 최대변위는 차량이 120km/h로 교차주행 시 25mm로 나타났다. 연속주행 시 응답에 미치는 영향은 단독주행 응답보다 2.5% 이내로 크지 않게 나타났다. 따라서 숏크리트가 적용되지 않는 독립구조체 터널라이닝의 경우동적거동은 반드시 고려해야하는 것으로 판단된다.

트럭 축하중에 의한 도로포장체의 응력과 변형은 대부분 다층 탄성 이론에 의해 예측된다. 대부분의 다층 탄성 이론에 의한 이론적 계산값이 연성 포장 재료의 점탄성적 거동특성, 동적 트럭 축하중, 비균등 타이어 접지압 및 형상등을 해석에 고려하지 못하므로, 계측값에 비해 매우 작은 값을 예측하므로서 도로 포장 두께설계가 과소 설계될 우려가 크다. 이와 같은 도로 포장체 구조해석시 이용되는 중요한 변동요소를 포장 재료의 물성 모델 측면, 비균등 접지압 및 형상 측면, 동적 유한요소해석 측면에서 분석하여 이용 가능한 모델을 본 논문에서 제안하였다. 경계조건 및 민감도 분석을 수행을 통한 효과적인 3차원 연성포장의 유한요소해석모델을 결정하는 방법론을 제안하였으며, 최적 유한요소모델 분석결과와 현장에서 취득한 결과와의 상호비교를 통하여 모델의 유의성을 검증하였으며, 동적 접지하중조건, 점탄성물성 모델 등을 3차원 유한요소 모델에 접목하고, 최적 경계조건을 결정하였다.
