  • In this study, the dynamic instabilities of a nonlinear elastic system subjected to follower force are investigated. The two-degree-of-freedom double pendulum model with nonlinear geometry, cubic spring, and linear viscous damping is used for the study. The constant and periodic follower forces are considered. The chaotic nature of the system is identified using the standard methods, such as time histories, phase portraits, and Poincare maps, etc.. The responses are chaotic and unpredictable due to the sensitivity to initial conditions. The sensitivities to parameters, such as geometric initial imperfections, magnitude of follower force, and viscous damping, etc. is analysed. The strange attractors in Poincare map have the self-similar fractal geometry. Dynamic buckling loads are computed for various parameters, where the loads are changed drastically for the small change of parameters.

  • The concepts of laws like regularity or persistence or recurrence those are discovered in nature, became the essential elements in speculative philosophy, study and scientific technology. Western civilization was spread out by these natural laws. As this background, this study is aimed to research the theories of natural laws and the development of geometry as the descriptive tools and the development aspects of the concepts of space. According to Whitehead's four theories on the natural laws, the result of this study that aimed like that as follows. First, the theories on the immanence and imposition of the natural laws were the predominant ideas from ancient Greek to before the scientific revolution, the theory on the simple description like the positivism made the Newton-Cartesian mechanism and an absolutist world view. The theory on the conventional interpretation made the organicism and relativism world view according to non-Euclidean geometry. Second, the geometrical composition of ancient Greek architecture was an aesthetics that represented the immanence of natural laws. Third, in the basic symbol of medieval times, the numeral symbol was the frame of thought and was an important principal of architecture. Fourth, during the Renaissance, architecture was regarded as mathematics that made the order of universe to visible things and the geometry was regarded as an important architectural principal. Fifth, according to the non-Euclidean geometry, it was possible to present the natural phenomena and the universe. Sixth, topology made to lapse the division of traditional floor, wall and ceiling in contemporary architecture and made to build the continuous space. Seventy, the new nature was explained by fractal concepts not by Euclidean shapes, fractal presented that the essence of nature had not mechanical and linear characteristic but organic and non-linear characteristic.

  • 하천의 수면 폭, 평균수심, 평균유속은 유량과 함께 변화한다. 이들의 관계는 멱함수의 형태로 표현될 수 있으며, 변동성을 바라보는 관점에 따라 두 가지로 구분된다. 하나는 시간에 따른 변동성으로 한 지점에서 서로 다른 주기를 갖는 유량들의 폭, 수심, 유속과의 관계(지점수리기하, at a station hydraulic geometry)이며, 다른 하나는 공간적 변동성으로 하천의 하류 방향으로 가면서 나타나는 유량과 폭, 수심, 유속과의 관계(하류수리기하, downstream hydraulic geometry)이다(Leopold and Maddock, 1953). 두 가지 수리기하의 경우 모두 자연 하천의 프랙털 특성(fractal)을 보여주는 예라 할 수 있다. Dodov and Foufoula-Georgiou (2004)는 Stall and Fok (1968)의 자료를 재분석한 결과, 지점수리기하의 지수 값이 해당 지점에서의 유역면적에 관한 함수로 표현될 수 있음을 발견하였다. 그러나, 이러한 멀티 프랙털 특성은 모든 하천유역에서 발견되는 것은 아니며, Dodov and Foufoula-Georgiou (2004)가 통계적으로 분석한 대상유역의 결과도 그 유의성에 논란의 여지가 있다고 볼 수 있어서, 현대 수문지형학의 남겨진 숙제라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수리기하의 멀티 프랙털 특성을 수문학적 동질성 여부라는 측면에서 탐구하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 기존 수리기하 관계식과 차별되는 무차원변량을 이용한 새로운 관계식을 제안하였으며 이를 관측 자료에 적용하여, 멀티 프랙털 특성의 존재 여부를 고찰하였다.

  • Finite-element methods are used to study non-adhesive, frictionless rough contact of elastic and plastic solids. Roughness on spherical surfaces is realized by self-affine fractal. True contact area between the rough surfaces and flat rigid surfaces increases with power law under external normal loads. The power exponent is sensitive to surface roughness as well as the curvature of spherical geometry. Surface contact pressures are analyzed and compared for the elastic and plastic solids. Distributions of local contact pressure are shown dependent on the surface roughness and the yield stress of plastic solids.
