The frequency of a traditional tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) depends solely on the length of liquid column, which imposes certain restrictions on its application to long span cable-stayed bridges during construction. The configuration of a cable-stayed bridge varies from different construction stages and so do its natural frequencies. It is thus difficult to apply TLCD with a fixed configuration to the bridge during construction or it is not economical to design a series of TLCD with different liquid lengths to suit for various construction stages. Semi-active tuned liquid column damper (SATLCD) with adaptive frequency tuning capacity is studied in this paper for buffeting response control of a long span cable-stayed bridge during construction. The frequency of SATLCD can be adjusted by active control of air pressures inside the air chamber at the two ends of the container. The performance of SATLCD for suppressing combined lateral and torsional vibration of a real long span cable-stayed bridge during construction stage is numerically investigated using a finite element-based approach. The finite element model of SATLCD is also developed and incorporated into the finite element model of the bridge for predicting buffeting response of the coupled SATLCD-bridge system in the time domain. The investigations show that with a fixed container configuration, the SATLCD with adaptive frequency tuning can effectively reduce buffeting response of the bridge during various construction stages.

While the pinch instability theory (PIT) has been widely employed to analyze the spray transfer mode in the gas metal arc welding (GMAW), it cannot predict the detaching drop size accurately. The PIT is modified in this work to increase the accuracy of prediction and to simulate the molten tip geometry to be more physically acceptable. Since the molten tip becomes a cone shape in the spray mode, the effective wire diameter is formulated that the effective diameter is inversely proportional to current square. Modifications are also made to consider the finite length of the liquid column and current leakage through the arc. While the effective diameter influences drop transfer significantly, the current leakage has negligible effects. The effects of modifications on drop transfer are analyzed, and the predicted drop diameters show good agreements with the experimental data of the steel wire.

This research is the experimental and numerical study of investigating the characteristics of consolidation due to selfweight of soft marine clay. Column tests and centrifuge tests were carried out to selfweight of soft marine clay. Column tests and centrifuge tests were carried out to simulate the selfweight consolidations in field. Tests were conducted with changing drain boundary conditions and initial void ratios corresponding to four and five times of liquid limits. The RI meter was used to measure void ratio during consolidation of sample in column tests. Test results were analyzed by using the Terzaghi's infinitesimal strain theory and the finite strain theory.

본 연구에서는 토사 유동과 같은 대변형 해석을 위해 기존 유한요소법이나 유한차분법과 달리 격자를 사용하지 않는 입자법을 사용하였으며, 입자법은 구배, 발산, 라플라시안과 같은 미분연산자에 대응하는 입자간 상호작용모델을 이용하여 연속체의 지배방정식을 이산화하였다. 외부 하중이나 함수비 증가에 따라 고체에서 유체 상태로 변하는 흙의 3차원 대변형 거동을 해석하기 위해 기존 입자법에 흙의 파괴상태를 고려할 수 있는 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴기준을 도입하였으며, 흙의 파괴 이전의 항복이나 경화현상으로 인한 대변형은 흙을 점성 유체로 가정하여 해석하였다. 개발된 입자법은 먼저 구속압이 작용하지 않고 강도가 0인 모래기둥 붕괴실험 결과를 이용하여 검증한 다음, 점착력을 가지고 자립이 가능한 점토기둥 붕괴실험을 실시하여 흙의 항복이나 파괴로 인한 대변형을 시뮬레이션하였다. 개발된 입자법은 모래와 점토의 3차원 대변형 거동을 유사하게 잘 예측하였으며, 파괴 이전에 발생하는 흙의 항복으로 인한 소성변형에 따른 흙기둥 내의 수직 및 전단응력 변화도 계산할 수 있었다.
