The seismic responses of a base Isolated Pressurized Water Reactor(PWR) are investigated using a mathematical model which expresses the superstructure as a linear lumped mass-spring and the seismic Isolator as an equivalent spring-damper. Time history analyses are performed for the 1940 El Centre earthquake with linear amplification. In the analysis 5% of structural damping is used for the superstructure. The effects of high damping rubber bearing on seismic response of the superstructure in base isolated system are evaluated for four stiffness model types. The acceleration responses in base isolated PWR superstructure with high damping rubber bearings are much smaller than those in fixed base structure. In the higher strain region where stiffness behaves non-linearly, the acceleration responses modelled by one equivalent stiffness are smaller than those in nonlinear spring model, and the higher stiffness spring model of isolator exhibits larger peak acceleration response at superstructure in the frequency range above 2.0 Hz. when subjected to linearly amplified 1940 El Centre earthquake.

The seismic responses of a base isolated Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) are investigated using a mathematical model which expresses the superstructure as lumped mass-spring model and the seismic isolator as an equivalent spring-damper. Time history analyses are performed for the 1940 E1 Centre earthquakes in both horizontal and vertical directions. In the analysis, structural damping of 5% is used for the superstructure. The isolator damping ratios of 12% for horizontal and 5% for vertical directions are used. The acceleration responses in base isolated PWR superstructure with high damping rubber bearings are much smaller than those in fixed base structure in horizontal direction. However, the vertical acceleration responses at the superstructure in the base isolation system are amplified to some extent. It is suggested that the vertical seismic responses at the superstructure should be reduced by introducing a soft vertical isolation device.

This paper presents the dynamic parameter design optimization of a suspension seat system using the genetic algorithm. At first, an equivalent 1-D.O.F. mass-spring-damper model of a suspension seat system was constructed for the purpose of its vibration analysis. Vertical vibration response and transmissibility of the equivalent model due to base excitations, which are defined in the ISO's seat vibration test codes, were computed. Furthermore, seat vibration test, that is ISO's damping test, was carried out in order to investigate the validity of the equivalent suspension seat model. Both analytical and experimental results showed good agreement each other. For the design optimization, the acceleration transmissibility of the suspension seat model was adopted as an object function. A simple genetic algorithm was used to search the optimum values of the design variables, suspension stiffness and damping coefficient. Finally, vibration ride performance test results showed that the optimum suspension parameters gives the lowest vibration transmissibility. Accordingly the genetic algorithm and the equivalent suspension seat modelling can be successfully adopted in the vibration ride quality optimization of a suspension seat system.

Turbomachinery such as turbines, pumps and compressors, which are installed in transportation systems, including aircrafts, ships, and space vehicles, etc., often perform crucial missions and are exposed to potential dangerous impact environments such as base-transferred shock forces. To protect turbomachinery from excessive shock forces, it may be needed to accurately analyze transient responses of their rotors, considering the dynamics of mount designs to be applied. In this study a generalized FE transient response analysis model, introducing relative displacements, is proposed to accurately predict transient responses of a flexible rotor-bearing system with mount systems to base-transferred shock forces. In the transient analyses the state-space Newmark method of a direct time integration scheme is utilized, which is based on the average velocity concept. Results show that for the identical mount systems considered, the proposed FE-based detailed flexible rotor model yields more reduced transient vibration responses to the same shocks than a conventional simple model, obtained by treating a rotor as concentrated lumped mass, equivalent spring and a damper or Jeffcott rotor model. Hence, in order to design a rotor-bearing system with a more compact light-weighted mount system, preparing against any potential excessive shock, the proposed FE transient response analysis model herein is recommended.

본 연구에서는 등가 지반면 스프링 모델을 적용한 단일 현장타설말뚝의 간편해석(기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 분리해석)을 수행하였다. 이 때 지반조건, 하중, 말뚝직경 등의 영향인자에 따라 검증하였으며, 단일 현장타설말뚝에 적용된 철근량을 분석하여 말뚝의 최소 철근비 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구결과, 기존 기둥과 말뚝을 단일부재로 모델링하는 일체해석과 기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 분리해석의 결과에는 서로 차이가 없었으며, 이를 통해 가상,고정점을 통한 해석법은 단일 현장타설말뚝의 정확한 거동파악이 어려움을 알 수 있었다. 또한 재료의 비선형성을 고려한 해석결과, 말뚝부에서 발생하는 휨모멘트는 말뚝재료의 균열모멘트 이내에서 모두 발생하였으며, 수평변위도 허용 수평변위 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 단일 현장타설말뚝의 말뚝부에는 최소철큰비 기준인 0.4% 철근량만을 배근하여도 안정성이 확보되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 분리해석은 상하부 일체해석으로 가는 중간단계의 비교적 정확하고 경제적인 설계법임을 알 수 있었다.

The research described in this paper investigates the seismic behaviour of lightly reinforced concrete (RC) bearing sandwich panels, heavily conditioned by shear deformation. A numerical model has been prepared, within an open source finite element (FE) platform, to simulate the experimental response of this emerging structural system, whose squat-type geometry affects performance and failure mode. Calibration of this equivalent mechanical model, consisting of a group of regularly spaced vertical elements in combination with a layer of nonlinear springs, which represent the cyclic behaviour of concrete and steel, has been conducted by means of a series of pseudo-static cyclic tests performed on single full-scale prototypes with or without openings. Both cantilevered and fixed-end shear walls have been analyzed. After validation, this numerical procedure, including cyclic-related mechanisms, such as buckling and subsequent slippage of reinforcing re-bars, as well as concrete crushing at the base of the wall, has been used to assess the capacity of two- and three-dimensional low- to mid-rise box-type buildings and, hence, to estimate their strength reduction factors, on the basis of conventional pushover analyses.

본 연구에서는 단일 현장타설말뚝의 가상고정점 해석과 기둥과 말뚝을 3차원 전체 모델링한 해석을 비교 분석하여 가상고정점 해석의 적정성을 평가하였다. 또한, 가상고정점 해석을 보완하기 위하여 단일 현장타설말뚝의 기둥과 말뚝을 분리하여 등가 지반면 스프링 모델을 적용한 분리해석을 수행하였다. 이 때 지반조건, 하중, 말뚝직경 등의 주요 영향인자에 따라 그 거동을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 가상고정점을 고려한 해석에서의 침하량과 수평 변위는 전체 모델링한 해석과 비교하여 작게 발생했으나, 축력과 휨모멘트는 크게 나타났다. 따라서 가상고정점을 통한 해석법은 실제 구조물 거동과 다른 단부조건으로 단일 현장타설말뚝의 정확한 거동을 파악하기엔 무리가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 기둥과 말뚝을 단일부재로 모델링하는 일체해석과 기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 분리해석의 결과에는 서로 차이가 없었으며, 이를 통해 기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 분리해석은 가상고정점 해석에서 상하부 일체해석으로 넘어가는 중간단계의 비교적 정확하고 경제적인 설계법임을 알 수 있었다.

It has been estimated that the equivalent of approximately $US 50 billion has been spent on research on the behavior and fate of pesticides in the environment since Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring” in 1962. Much of the resulting knowledge has been summarized explicitly in computer algorithms in a variety of empirical, deterministic, and probabilistic simulation models. These models describe and predict the transport, degradation and resultant concentrations of pesticides in various compartments of the environment during and after application. In many cases the known errors of model predictions are large. For this reason they are typically designed to be “conservative”, i.e., err on the side of over-prediction of concentrations in order to err on the side of safety. These predictions are then compared with toxicity data, from tests of the pesticide on a series of standard representative biota, including terrestrial and aquatic indicator species and higher animals (e.g., wildlife and humans). The models' predictions are good enough in some cases to provide screening of those compounds which are very unlikely to do harm, and to indicate those compounds which must be investigated further. If further investigation is indicated a more detailed (and therefore more complicated) model may be employed to give a better estimate, or field experiments may be required. A model may be used to explore “what if” questions leading to possible alternative pesticide usage patterns which give lower potential environmental concentrations and allowable exposures. We are currently at a maturing stage in this research where the knowledge base of pesticide behavior in the environmental is growing more slowly than in the past. However, innovative uses are being made of the explosion in available computer technology to use models to take ever more advantage of the knowledge we have. In this presentation, current developments in the state of the art as practiced in North America and Europe will be presented. Specifically, we will look at the efforts of the ‘Focus’ consortium in the European Union, and the ‘EMWG’ consortium in North America. These groups have been innovative in developing a process and mechanisms for discussion amongst academic, agriculture, industry and regulatory scientists, for consensus adoption of research advances into risk management methodology.

이 연구에서는 기존의 가상고정점 모델을 통한 단일 현장타설말뚝 설계를 보완하고자, 등가 지반면 스프링 모델을 바탕으로 한 기둥과 말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 해석법을 제시하였으며, 이를 토대로 주요 영향인자에 따라 말뚝의 최소철근비 적용성을 분석하였다. 나아가, 기둥과 말뚝 조건을 고려하여 말뚝에 철근비별 적용 가능한 한계깊이를 제안하였다. 이 연구 결과, 기둥-말뚝의 상호작용을 고려한 해석은 가상고정점 모델 해석에서 전체 모델링 해석으로 넘어가는 중간단계의 비교적 정확하고 경제적인 설계법임을 알 수 있었으며, 이 해석법을 통해 최소철근비 적용성을 평가한 결과, 말뚝의 최대 휨모멘트는 말뚝재료의 균열모멘트 이내에서 모두 발생하는 것으로 나타나 말뚝에는 최소철근비(0.4%)를 적용하여도 만족하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 토대로, 현장사례를 통해 철근비별 적용 가능한 한계깊이($L_{As=x%}$)를 제안하였으며, 정규화된 철근비별 적용 가능한 한계깊이 ($L_{As=x%}/L_P$)는 정규화된 말뚝길이($L_P/D_P$)에 따라 선형적으로 감소하여 일정한 값에서 수렴함을 알 수 있었다.
