This study investigated the influence of probabilistic variability in stiffness and nonlinearity of soil on response of nuclear power plant (NPP) structure subjected to seismic loads considering the soil-structure interaction (SSI). Both deterministic and probabilistic methods have been employed to evaluate the dynamic responses of the structure. For the deterministic method, $SRP_{min}$ method given in USNRC SRP 3.7.2(2013) (envelope of responses using three shear modulus profiles of lower bound($G_{LB}$), best estimate($G_{BE}$) and upper bound($G_{UB}$)) and $SRP_{max}$ method (envelope of responses by more than three ground profiles within range of $G_{LB}{\leq}G{\leq}G_{UB}$) have been considered. The probabilistic method uses the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) that can capture probabilistic feature of soil stiffness defined by the median and the standard deviation. These analysis results indicated that 1) number of samples shall be larger than 60 to apply the probabilistic approach in SSI analysis and 2) in-structure response spectra using equivalent linear soil profiles considering the nonlinear behavior of soil medium can be larger than those based on low-strain soil profiles.

이 연구에서는 수치해석 실험을 통하여, 원주방향 관통균열을 갖는 원통형 쉘의 패치보강 전후의 거동에 대한 평가와 다양한 변수에 따른 패치보강 효과를 분석하였다. 해석 모델의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해, h-법 및 p-법에 기초한 모델링, 두 가지 방법이 동시에 고려되었다. 또한 선형탄성파괴역학 개념에 기초하여 에너지 방출률을 산정하기 위해, 등가영역적분법 및 가상균열확장법이 고려되었다. 해석 예제로서, 먼저 연구에서 수행된 h-법 및 p-법 유한요소 모델을 검증하기 위해, 패치 보강전의 인장력을 받는 관통 균열이 있는 쉘 구조물이 해석되었으며, 해석 결과값들과 여러 참고문헌 값들이 비교되었다. 그리고 패치 보강된 원통형 쉘 시스템에서의 접착제 두께, 접착제 전단탄성계수, 패치 두께, 패치 재료, 균열 길이 등의 여러 설계 변수에 대한 민감도 해석이 수행되었다.

Recently, research attention has been focused on vibration-free vehicles to transport small numbers of expensive electronic products. Vibration-free vehicles can be used to transport expensive test equipment or semiconductors, mainly produced in the domestic IT industry, and can serve as a readily available transportation system for short driving distances due to the increased efficiency on narrow national highways. This study was aimed at developing a Z-Spring to minimize the vibration by installing an air spring instead of the plate spring applied to conventional freight cars and to prevent the damage of the loaded cargo from the shock occurring during movement. The mechanical properties (elastic modulus, tensile strength, and shear strength) of carbon fiber (CF) and glass fiber (GF) prepreg were derived, and ANSYS ACP PrepPost analyses were performed. It was observed that in the case of hybrid composites, the total deformation and equivalent stress are higher than that of CFRP; however, in terms of the unit cost, the hybrid Z-Spring is more inexpensive and durable compared to the GF.
