Current codes design the buildings based on life safety criteria. In a performance-based design (PBD) approach, decisions are made based on demands, such as target displacement and performance of structure in use. This type of design prevents loss of life but does not limit damages or maintain functionality. As a newly developed method, resilience-based design (RBD) aims to maintain functionality of buildings and provide liveable conditions after strong ground movement. In this paper, the seismic performance of plain and strengthened RC frames (an eight-story and two low-rise) is evaluated. In order to evaluate earthquake performance of the frames, the performance points of the frames are calculated by the capacity spectrum method (CSM) of ATC-40. This method estimates earthquake-induced deformation of an inelastic system using a reduced response spectrum. Finally, the seismic performances of the frames are evaluated and the results are compared with a resilience-based design criterion.

Optical Triangulation Probes (OTPs) are widely used for their simple structure. high resolution, and long operating range. However, errors originating from speckle, inclination of the object, source power fluctuation, ambient light, and noise of the detector limit their usability. In this paper, we propose new design criteria for an error-reduced OTP. The light source module for the system consists of an incoherent light source and a multimode optical fiber for eliminating speckle and shaping a Gaussian beam Intensity profile. A diffuse-reflective white copy paper, which is attached to the object, makes the light intensity distribution on the change-coupled device(CCD). Since the peak positions of the intensity distribution are not related to the various error sources, a sub-pixel resolution signal processing algorithm that can detect the peak position makes it possible to construct an error-reduced OTP system

An absolute type shaft encoder which utilized moire fringe will be presented in this paper. Linear moire fringe is commonly used to measure the displacement of the linear motion. However, an absolute encoder which measure the rotation angle of a shaft is operated usually with a code disk which the gray code pattern is printed on. Such encoder has inherently resolution limit because of the patterning mechanism and sensing mechanism. In order to measure the position of fringes which move as the code disk rotates, neural network was developed in this paper. Formerly fringe position is usually measured by a sophisticated software, which needs a little long calculation time. However, using neural network method can eliminate such calculation time, even though it needs learning job. The proposed method is verified through several experiments.

Hybrid-Trefftz plate bending elements are known to be robust and free of shear locking in the thin limit because of Internal displacements fields and linked boundary displacements. Also, their finite element approximation is very simple regardless to boundary shape since all element matrices can be calculated using only boundary integrals. In this study, new hybrid-Trefftz variational formulation based on the total potential energy principle of internal displacements and displacement consistency conditions at the boundary is derived. And flat shell elements are derived by combining hybrid-Trefftz bending stiffness and plane stress stiffness with drilling dofs.

Propagation characteristics of tribrachial flames have been investigated experimentally in both two-dimensional and axisymmetric counterflows. Mixture fraction gradient at stoichiometric location is controlled by varying equivalence ratios at the two nozzles, one of which maintains rich while the other lean premixture. Tribrachial flames propagating through these mixtures are investigated. The propagation speed of tribrachial flames in two-dimensional counterflow decreases with fuel concentration gradient and has much higher speed than the maximum speed predicted previously in two-dimensional mixing layers. From an analogy with premixed flame propagation, this excessively large propagation speed can be attributed to the tribrachial flame propagating with respect to burnt gas. Corresponding maximum speed in the limit of small mixture fraction gradient is estimated and extrapolated experimental results substantiate this limiting speed. As mixture fraction gradient approaches zero, a transition in propagation characteristics occurs, such that the propagation speed of tribrachial flame approaches stoichiometric laminar burning velocity with respect to burnt gas. Similar behavior has been obtained for tribrachial flames propagating in axisymmetric counterflow.

The flow of electrical current through a microscopic actual contact spot between two conductors is influenced by the flow through adjacent contact spots. A smoothed version of this interaction effect is developed and used to predict the contact resistance when the statistical size and spatial distribution of contact spots is known. To illustrate the use of the method, an idealized fractal rough surface is defined using the random midpoint displacement algorithm and the size distribution of contact spots is assumed to be given by the intersection of this surface with a constant height plane. With these assumptions, it is shown that including finer scale detail in the fractal surface, equivalent to reducing the sampling length in the measurement of the surface, causes the predicted resistance to approach the perfect contact limit.

This study aims to develop a PZT-driven depth adjustment device with a flexure hinge and to investigate its static/dynamic characteristics. This device will be applied to rapidly and accurately trace a flat surface with slight waviness of up to several hundreds of micrometers in magnitude. One typical example is to cut a film coated on a steel plate. A depth control system composed of PMAC, PZT/PZT amplifier, flexure hinge/knife, and laser displacement sensor is implemented on a desktop three-axis machine and an actual cutting test is conducted on a steel workpiece with a sinusoidal-wavy surface. It is verified that the dynamic characteristics of the device limit the maximum cutting speed and depth precision.

In this study, the modification structure design of insulation displacement connector developed was considered for simplification of assembly process. The modified connector consisted terminal, wafer and fitting nails. The separation behavior under locking condition for pitch 1.25mm wire to board connector was measured and the apparatus for the test was made. The maximum restraining force was measured about 4.5kgf that was bigger value than the specification limit. And the pulling force of a wire was also indicated about 2.3kgf.

To obtain low resistance and high efficiency energy-saving ship, minimum total resistance hull form design method is studied based on potential flow theory of wave-making resistance and considering the effects of tail viscous separation. With the sum of wave resistance and viscous resistance as objective functions and the parameters of B-Spline function as design variables, mathematical models are built using Nonlinear Programming Method (NLP) ensuring the basic limit of displacement and considering rear viscous separation. We develop ship lines optimization procedures with intellectual property rights. Series60 is used as parent ship in optimization design to obtain improved ship (Series60-1) theoretically. Then drag tests for the improved ship (Series60-1) is made to get the actual minimum total resistance hull form.

In order to examine the effects of yield stress, tensile strength and thickness on the buckling behavior during bending of pipes, the nonlinear finite element analysis of the 3-point bending tests was carried out using the commercial software (ABAQUS) under the condition of L4(2$^{3}$) performed according to the designed condition. Form the analysis of simulation results, it was found that yield stress and thickness were the major factors on buckling load at pipe bending and tensile strength gave little influence because the plastic strain and plastic zone are small. For the punch displacement to the occurrence of buckling, thickness is a major factor and yield stress and tensile strength are the minor factors.
