Openings in steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are usually used for decorative designs, crossing locations of multiple utilities and/or structural objectives. However, earlier studies showed that generating an opening in an SPSW has a negative effect on the cyclic performance of the SPSW. Therefore, this study proposes tripling or doubling the steel-sheet-plate (SSP) layer and stiffening the opening of the SPSW to provide a solution to undesirable opening effects, improve the SPSW performance and provide the infill option of potential strengthening measures after the construction stage. The study aims to investigate the impact of SSP doubling with a stiffened opening on the cyclic behaviour, expand the essential data required by structural designers and quantify the SPSW performance factors. Validated numerical models were adopted to identify the influence of the chosen parameters on the cyclic capacity, energy dissipation, ductility, seismic performance factors (SPF) and stiffness of the suggested method. A finite Element (FE) analysis was performed via Abaqus/CAE software on half-scale single-story models of SPSWs exposed to cyclic loading. The key parameters included the number of SSP layers, the opening size ratios corresponding to the net width of the SSP, and the opening shape. The findings showed that the proposed assembly method found a negligible influence in the shear capacity with opening sizes of 10, 15, 20%. However, a deterioration in the wall strength was observed for openings with sizes of 25% and 30%. The circular opening is preferable compared with the square opening. Moreover, for all the models, the average value of the obtained ductility did not show substantial changes and the ultimate shear resistance was achieved after reaching a drift ratio of 4.36%. Additionally, the equivalent sectional area of the SSP in the twin and triple configuration of the SPSWs demonstrated approximately similar results. Compared with the single SSP layer, the proposed configuration of the twin SSP layer with a stiffened opening suggest to more sufficiency create SSP openings in the SPSW compared to that of other configurations. Finally, a tabular SPF quantification is exhibited for SPSWs with openings.

In this work a multi-fidelity non-intrusive polynomial chaos (MF-NIPC) has been applied to a structural wind engineering problem in architectural design for the first time. In architectural design it is important to design structures that are safe in a range of wind directions and speeds. For this reason, the computational models used to design buildings and bridges must account for the uncertainties associated with the interaction between the structure and wind. In order to use the numerical simulations for the design, the numerical models must be validated by experi-mental data, and uncertainties contained in the experiments should also be taken into account. Uncertainty Quantifi-cation has been increasingly used for CFD simulations to consider such uncertainties. Typically, CFD simulations are computationally expensive, motivating the increased interest in multi-fidelity methods due to their ability to lev-erage limited data sets of high-fidelity data with evaluations of more computationally inexpensive models. Previous-ly, the multi-fidelity framework has been applied to CFD simulations for the purposes of optimization, rather than for the statistical assessment of candidate design. In this paper MF-NIPC method is applied to flow around a rectan-gular 5:1 cylinder, which has been thoroughly investigated for architectural design. The purpose of UQ is validation of numerical simulation results with experimental data, therefore the radius of curvature of the rectangular cylinder corners and the angle of attack are considered to be random variables, which are known to contain uncertainties when wind tunnel tests are carried out. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are solved by a solver that employs the Finite Element Method (FEM) for two turbulence modeling approaches of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations: Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) and the Large Eddy simulation (LES). The results of the uncertainty analysis with CFD are compared to experimental data in terms of time-averaged pressure coefficients and bulk parameters. In addition, the accuracy and efficiency of the multi-fidelity framework is demonstrated through a comparison with the results of the high-fidelity model.

임플란트 골유착의 성공과 임플란트 안정성에서 가장 중요한 것은 골의 양과 질이며 안정성을 평가하는 방법 중 하나인 주입회전력도 골질에 영향을 받는다. 임플란트를 식립할 때 모터에서 생긴 힘이 임플란트에 전달되면 임플란트는 회전력(moment)과 축력(axial force)을 갖게 되고 임플란트와 접촉한 골에서는 절삭과 압박 그리고 마찰이 일어나 응력이 생기는데 이 때 측정되는 주입회전력(insertion torque)은 골질에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 임플란트를 하악 소구치 부위 골에 식립하는 것을 가정하여 골질을 치밀골의 두께와 망상골의 밀도 그리고 하방 치밀골 존재 시로 나누고, 골의 응력과 변위를 소탄성 범위의 유한요소법으로 분석하고 유효응력(von Mises stress)과 회전력 그리고 축력을 비교 연구하여 골질이 주입 회전력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 임플란트($Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII.RP, ${\phi}3.75{\times}10.0mm$, Nobel Biocare, $G{\ddot{o}}teborg$, Sweden) 와 원통형 골모형(${\phi}9.5{\times}12.0mm$)의 유한요소 모형을 설계하고 변수로 상부 치밀골의 두께(0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm)와 치밀골 하부에 망상골의 밀도($0.85g/cm^3$, $1.11g/cm^3$, $1.25g/cm^3$) 그리고 골모형 하부에 1 mm 두께의 치밀골 유무에 따라 총 7개의 모형을 만들었으며, 임플란트가 식립될 때 발생하는 유효응력과 축력 그리고 회전력을 시간대 별로 비교하였다. 임플란트 플랜지 하연이 골의 상부를 파고드는 300 msec, 중간 정도 들어간 550 msec, 완전히 들어가 플랜지 상면이 골 표면과 일치한 800 msec로 나누어 관찰하였을 때 축력은 500 msec 전후에서, 회전력은 800 msec 전후에서 최대값를 보였으며 유효응력 분포는 서로 비슷하였다. 이 같은 실험 결과를 바탕으로 축력을 영역 별로 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트는 플랜지가 골을 파고들 때 축력이 치밀 골에서 가장 높았고, 회전력은 플랜지가 골상부에 걸리어 축력이 급격히 감소한 이후에 최대 회전력을 보였으며, 이 때 유효응력 분포는 플랜지와 접촉하는 골 상부에 집중되었다. 2. 임플란트 식립 시 치밀골의 두께가 두꺼울수록 축력과 회전력이 높게 나타났으며 치밀골의 두께가 축력과 회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 3. 치밀골의 두께가 1.5 mm 이상인 경우 망상 골의 밀도가 축력에 미치는 영향은 작았고, 치밀골의 두께가 0.5 mm인 경우 망상골의 밀도가 축력과 회전력에 영향이 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 4. 양측 피질골 존재 시 축력의 합은 상부 피질골의 두께가 같은 다른 경우와 비슷하였으나 부위별 촉력은 골하부에서 양측 피질골 모형이 가장 높았고, 회전력은 하방 피질골과 접촉할 때는 피질골 두께가 같은 다른 모형보다 다소 높으나 최대 회전력은 비슷하였다. 위 결과를 토대로 하악 소구치 부위에 $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트 식립 시 골질과 관련된 요소 중에 치밀골의 두께가 주입회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주며 망상골의 밀도를 높이는 술식도 일차적 안정성 증가에 유용할 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

본 논문에서는 석션파일의 하중지지력 및 압밀 거동에 대한 수치해석 내용을 다루었다. 수치해석에서는 파일-지반 간 인터페이스 거동이 고려된 3차원 모델을 적용하여 석션파일의 길이 대 직경 비, 하중 형태(수직하중, 수평 및 조합하중)를 변화시키며 해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 토대로 수직 및 수평지지력 거동 특성을 고찰하였다. 아울러 임의의 수직하중이 작용하는 조건에 대해 응력-간극수압 연계해석을 수행하여 석션파일의 하중재하 후 압밀거동을 고찰하였다. 해석 결과 석션파일의 지지력은 석션파일과 지반간의 상호작용 모델링 여부에 따라 큰 차이가 발생하는 것으로 검토되어 인터페이스 모델링의 중요성이 부각되었으며 산정된 하중지지력 결과를 토대로 제시된 조합하중에 대한 파괴포락선을 제시하였다. 아울러 응력-간극수압 연계해석에 근거한 압밀해석 결과를 분석한 결과 석션파일은 주면마찰이 주 하중지지 구조인 관계로 수직하중 재하시 과잉간극수압 발생량 및 압밀침하량은 미미한 것으로 검토되었다.

Eight cold-formed thin-walled steel beams were performed to investigate the effect of corrosion damage on the flexural behavior of steel beams. The relationships between failure modes or load-displacement curves and corrosion degree of steel beams were investigated. A series of parametric analysis with more than forty finite element models were also performed with different corrosion degrees, types and locations. The results showed that the reduction of cross-section thickness as well as corrosion pits on the surface would lead to a decline in the stiffness and flexural capacity of steel beams, and gradually intensified with the corrosion degree. The yield load, ultimate load and critical buckling load of the corroded specimen IV-B46-4 decreased by 22.2%, 26% and 45%, respectively. The failure modes of steel beams changed from strength failure to stability failure or brittle fracture with the corrosion degree increasing. In addition, thickness damage and corrosion pits at different locations caused the degradation of flexural capacity, the worst of which was the thickness damage of compression zone. Finally, the method for calculating flexural capacity of corroded cold-formed thin-walled steel beams was also proposed based on experimental investigation and numerical analysis results.

Cylindrical shells are often used in ship structures at deck plating with a camber, side shell plating at fore and aft parts, and bilge structure part. It has been believed that such curved shells can be modelled fundamentally by a part of a cylinder under axial compression. From the estimations with the usage of cylinder models, it is known that, in general, curvature increases the buckling strength of a curved shell subjected to axial compression, and that curvature is also expected to increase the ultimate strength. We conduct series of elasto-plastic large deflection analyses in order to clarify the fundamentals in buckling and plastic collapse behaviour of cylindrical shells under axial compression. From the numerical results, we derive design formula for predicting the ultimate strength of cylindrical shell, based on a series of the nonlinear finite element calculations for all edges, simply supporting plating, varying the slenderness ratio, curvature and aspect ratio, as well as the following design formulae for predicting the ultimate strength of cylindrical shell. From a number of analysis results, fitting curve can be developed to use parameter of slenderness ratio with implementation of the method of least squares. The accuracy of design formulae for evaluating ultimate strength has been confirmed by comparing the calculated results with the FE-analysis results and it has a good agreement to predict their ultimate strength.

In this paper, the performance of post-installed adhesive bonded anchor embedded in concrete is assessed using numerical simulations. This study aims at studying the influence of parameters on the performance of a chemically bonded anchorage system. Non-linear finite element modelling and simulations are carried out by properly using the material properties and phenomenon. Materials parameters such as characteristic length, fracture energy, damage criteria, tension retention and crack width of concrete and interface characteristics are carefully assigned so as to obtain a most realistic behaviour of the chemical anchor system. The peak strength of two different anchor systems obtained from present numerical studies is validated against experimental results. Furthermore, validated numerical models are used to study the load transferring mechanism and damage progression characteristics of various anchors systems where strength of concrete, strength of epoxy, and geometry and disposition of anchors are the parameters. The process of development of strain in concrete adjacent to the anchor and energy dissipated during the course of damage progression are analysed. Results show that the performance of the considered anchorage system is, though a combined effect of material and geometric parameters, but a clear distinction could be made on the parameters to achieve a desired performance based on strength, slip, strain development or dissipated energy. Inspite the increase in anchor capacity with increase in concrete strength, it brings some undesirable performance as well. Furthermore, the pullout capacity of the chemical anchor system increases with a decrease in disparity among the strength of concrete and epoxy.

Fatigue life prediction of a multi-row countersunk riveted lap joint was performed numerically. The stress and strain conditions in a highly stressed substructure of the joint were analysed using a global/local finite element (FE) model coupling approach. After validation of the FE models using experimental strain measurements, the stress/strain condition in the local three-dimensional (3D) FE model was simulated under a fatigue loading condition. This local model involved multiple load cases with nonlinearity in material properties, geometric deformation, and contact boundary conditions. The resulting stresses and strains were used in the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) strain life equation to assess the fatigue "initiation life", defined as the life to a 0.5 mm deep crack. Effects of the rivet-hole clearance and rivet head deformation on the predicted fatigue life were identified, and good agreement in the fatigue life was obtained between the experimental and the numerical results. Further crack growth from a 0.5 mm crack to the first linkup of two adjacent cracks was evaluated using the NRC in-house tool, CanGROW. Good correlation in the fatigue life was also obtained between the experimental result and the crack growth analysis. The study shows that the selected methodology is promising for assessing the fatigue life for the lap joint, which is expected to improve research efficiency by reducing test quantity and cost.
