To investigate the effects of central buckles on the dynamic behavior and flutter stability of long-span suspension bridges, four different connection options between the main cable and the girder near the mid-span position of the Aizhai Bridge were studied. Based on the flutter derivatives obtained from wind tunnel tests, formulations of self-excited forces in the time domain were obtained using a nonlinear least square fitting method and a time-domain flutter analysis was realized. Subsequently, the influences of the central buckles on the critical flutter velocity, flutter frequency, and three-dimensional flutter states of the bridge were investigated. The results show that the central buckles can significantly increase the frequency of the longitudinal floating mode of the bridge and have greater influence on the frequencies of the asymmetric lateral bending mode and asymmetric torsion mode than on that of the symmetric ones. As such, the central buckles have small impact on the critical flutter velocity due to that the flutter mode of the Aizhai Bridge was essentially the symmetric torsion mode coupled with the symmetric vertical mode. However, the central buckles have certain impact on the flutter mode and the three-dimensional flutter states of the bridge. In addition, it is found that the phenomenon of complex beat vibrations (called intermittent flutter phenomenon) appeared in the flutter state of the bridge when the structural damping is 0 or very low.

This paper proposes a developed optimization model for steel frames with semi-rigid beam-to-column connections and fixed bases using teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) and genetic algorithm (GA) techniques. This method uses rotational deformations of frame members ends as an optimization variable to simultaneously obtain the optimum cross-sections and the most suitable beam-to-column connection type. The total cost of members plus connections cost of the frame are minimized. Frye and Morris (1975) polynomial model is used for modeling nonlinearity of semi-rigid connections, and the $P-{\Delta}$ effect and geometric nonlinearity are considered through a stepped analysis process. The stress and displacement constraints of AISC-LRFD (2016) specifications, along with size fitting constraints, are considered in the design procedure. The developed model is applied to three benchmark steel frames, and the results are compared with previous literature results. The comparisons show that developed model using both LTBO and GA achieves better results than previous approaches in the literature.

Using the photographic imagery of the SO galaxy NGC 5102, the equivalent luminosity profile and the fractional integrated luminosity curve have been derived. Several photometric parameters of the galaxy, such as a total magnitude ($B_T$), equivalent radius ($r^*_e$), effective surface brightness (${\mu}^*_e$), and concentration indices ($C_{21}$, $C_{32}$) were derived from the luminosity profiles. According to the decomposition method from the nonlinear least squares fitting, photometric parameters of the bulge (${\mu}_e$, $r_e$) and the exponential disk (${\mu}(0)$, ${\alpha}^{-1}$), and the bulge to total luminosity ratio (B/T) were obtained. The derived central disk surface brightness (${\mu} (0)\;=\;22.06\;{\pm}\;0.18\;mag/\Box"$) and the evaluated B/T ratio (= 0.52) of the NGC 5102 are close to the mean values (${\mu} (0)\;=\;21.65\;{\pm}\;0.3\;mag/\Box"$, B/T=0.63) of the SO galaxies. Analysis showed that a lens-like hump is embedded in the equivalent luminosity profile of the NGC 5102.

Unsteady self-excited forces are commonly represented by parametric models such as rational functions. However, this requires complex multiparametric nonlinear fitting, which can be a challenging task that requires know-how. This paper explores the alternative nonparametric modeling of unsteady self-excited forces based on relations between flutter derivatives. By exploiting the properties of the transfer function of linear causal systems, we show that damping and stiffness aerodynamic derivatives are related by the Hilbert transform. This property is utilized to develop exact simplified expressions, where it is only necessary to consider the frequency dependency of either the aeroelastic damping or stiffness terms but not both simultaneously. This approach is useful if the experimental data on aerodynamic derivatives that are related to the damping are deemed more accurate than the data that are related to the stiffness or vice versa. The proposed numerical models are evaluated with numerical examples and with data from wind tunnel experiments. The presented method can evaluate any continuous fitted table of interpolation functions of various types, which are independently fitted to aeroelastic damping and stiffness terms. The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology performs well. The relations between the flutter derivatives can be used to enhance the understanding of experimental modeling of aerodynamic self-excited forces for bridge decks.

To study the evaluation standard and control limit of mortar filling layer void length, in this paper, the train sub-model was developed by MATLAB and the track-bridge sub-model considering the mortar filling layer void was established by ANSYS. The two sub-models were assembled into a train-track-bridge coupling dynamic model through the wheel-rail contact relationship, and the validity was corroborated by the coupling dynamic model with the literature model. Considering the randomness of fastening stiffness, mortar elastic modulus, length of mortar filling layer void, and pier settlement, the test points were designed by the Box-Behnken method based on Design-Expert software. The coupled dynamic model was calculated, and the support vector regression (SVR) nonlinear mapping model of the wheel-rail system was established. The learning, prediction, and verification were carried out. Finally, the reliable probability of the amplification coefficient distribution of the response index of the train and structure in different ranges was obtained based on the SVR nonlinear mapping model and Latin hypercube sampling method. The limit of the length of the mortar filling layer void was, thus, obtained. The results show that the SVR nonlinear mapping model developed in this paper has a high fitting accuracy of 0.993, and the computational efficiency is significantly improved by 99.86%. It can be used to calculate the dynamic response of the wheel-rail system. The length of the mortar filling layer void significantly affects the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel weight load reduction ratio, rail vertical displacement, and track plate vertical displacement. The dynamic response of the track structure has a more significant effect on the limit value of the length of the mortar filling layer void than the dynamic response of the vehicle, and the rail vertical displacement is the most obvious. At 250 km/h - 350 km/h train running speed, the limit values of grade I, II, and III of the lengths of the mortar filling layer void are 3.932 m, 4.337 m, and 4.766 m, respectively. The results can provide some reference for the long-term service performance reliability of the ballastless track-bridge system of HRS.

최근에 수문시계열로부터 저차원의 비선형 거동을 재구성하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구에서는 Support Vector Machine(SVM)을 이용하여 우수한 상태-공간 재구성 능력을 갖는 비선형 예측모형을 구성하여 Great Salt Lake(GSL) Volume에 적용하였다. SVM은 Kernel 함수로부터 유도된 고차원의 특성공간 안에서 선형함수의 가상공간을 이용하는 Machine Learning 방법론이다. 또한 SVM은 훈련자료로부터 얻어지는 평균제곱오차가 아닌 일반화된 오차를 최소화함으로써 상대적으로 기존 방법에 비해 적은 수의 매개변수와 과적합(over fitting)을 피하면서 비선형 함수의 최적화가 가능하다. 본 연구에서 제시한 SVM 회귀분석의 적용성은 미국의 GSL의 2주 간격 Volume을 대상으로 검토하였다. SVM을 이용한 비선형 예측모형은 GSL Volume의 2주(1-Step), 8주(4-Step)와 반복예측(Iterated Prediction, 121-Step)까지 적용되었다. 본 연구에서는 극치사상 즉, 급격한 감소 및 증가 구간을 예측하는데 있어서 훈련구간과 예측구간을 구분하여 모형의 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 예측결과SVM은 훈련자료로부터 적은 수의 관측치를 이용하여 동역학적 거동을 추출할 수 있었으며 실제 관측자료와 거의 유사한 예측이 가능함을 통계적 지표로 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 비선형 수문시계열의 단기 예측을 위한 모형으로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

일변량 분할 역회귀 방법은 일반화 회귀모형에서 효과적인 차원축약방향과 공간을 추정하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 두 일반화 회귀모형을 동시에 고려하여 효과적인 차원축약방향과 공간을 추정하는 방법으로 이변량 분할 역회귀를 제안한다. 이러한 이변량 분할 역회귀 방법은 모형식이 선형, 이차형, 삼차형, 비선형 등의 여러 모형식에서 효과적인 차원축약방향을 추정하며, 일변량 분할 역회귀에 비하여 모형에 존재하는 오차에 크게 영향을 받지 않고 효과적인 차원축약방향을 추정한다. 특히 모형식이 대칭의 이차형인 경우에 일변량 분할 역회귀 방법이 효과적인 차원축약방향을 추정하지 못하는 문제를 해결할 수 있다.

This article presents a study of the largest-ever (height = 220 m) cooling tower using the large eddy simulation (LES) method. Information about fluid fields around the tower and 3D aerodynamic time history in full construction process were obtained, and the wind pressure distribution along the entire tower predicted by the developed model was compared with standard curves and measured curves to validate the effectiveness of the simulating method. Based on that, average wind pressure distribution and characteristics of fluid fields in the construction process of ultra-large cooling tower were investigated. The characteristics of fluid fields in full construction process and their working principles were investigated based on wind speeds and vorticities under different construction conditions. Then, time domain characteristics of ultra-large cooling towers in full construction process, including fluctuating wind loads, extreme wind loads, lift and drag coefficients, and relationship of measuring points, were studied and fitting formula of extreme wind load as a function of height was developed based on the nonlinear least square method. Additionally, the frequency domain characteristics of wind loads on the constructing tower, including wind pressure power spectrum at typical measuring points, lift and drag power spectrum, circumferential correlations between typical measuring points, and vertical correlations of lift coefficient and drag coefficient, were analyzed. The results revealed that the random characteristics of fluctuating wind loads, as well as corresponding extreme wind pressure and power spectra curves, varied significantly and in real time with the height of the constructing tower. This study provides references for design of wind loads during construction period of ultra-large cooling towers.

Parallel imaging technique can provide several advantages for a multitude of MRI applications. Especially, in SENSE technique, sensitivity maps were always required in order to determine the reconstruction matrix, therefore, a number of difference approaches using sensitivity information from coils have been demonstrated to improve of image quality. Moreover, many filtering methods were proposed such as adaptive matched filter and nonlinear diffusion technique to optimize the suppression of background noise and to improve of image quality. In this study, we performed SENSE reconstruction using computer simulations to confirm the most suitable method for the feasibility of filtering effect and according to changing order of polynomial fit that were applied on variation of spatial resolution of sensitivity map. The image was obtained at 0.32T(Magfinder II, Genpia, Korea) MRI system using spin-echo pulse sequence(TR/TE = 500/20 ms, FOV = 300 mm, matrix = $128{\times}128$, thickness = 8 mm). For the simulation, obtained image was multiplied with four linear-array coil sensitivities which were formed of 2D-gaussian distribution and the image was complex white gaussian noise was added. Image processing was separated to apply two methods which were polynomial fitting and filtering according to spatial resolution of sensitivity map and each coil image was subsampled corresponding to reduction factor(r-factor) of 2 and 4. The results were compared to mean value of geomety factor(g-factor) and artifact power(AP) according to r-factor 2 and 4. Our results were represented while changing of spatial resolution of sensitivity map and r-factor, polynomial fit methods were represented the better results compared with general filtering methods. Although our result had limitation of computer simulation study instead of applying to experiment and coil geometric array such as linear, our method may be useful for determination of optimal sensitivity map in a linear coil array.

본 연구는, 원리적인 다양한 장점에도 불구하고 현실적인 제약으로 인해 실제 설계과정에서 잘 적용되지 않는, 자이델 3차 수차를 간편하게 다룰 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 먼저 유한 물체거리를 갖는 2 반사경계에 대해 자이델 3차의 구면수차계수를 유도한다. 여기서, 유도된 구면수차계수는 고차의 비선형 방정식으로 표현되는데, 그 구성은 설계변수(물체거리, 주경 및 부경의 곡률, 주경과 부경 사이의 거리)와 유효초점거리로 이루어진다. 해석적으로 표현된 고차의 비선형 구면수차 방정식은 컴퓨터를 이용한 수치기법에 의해 근사적인 제로조건을 만족하도록 풀려진다. 이렇게 구해진 다양한 수치 해들을 주의 깊게 통찰하면 주경과 부경의 곡률 간에 선형성이 존재함을 파악할 수 있다. 즉, 결과적으로 주경과 부경의 곡률들을 선형맞춤(linear fitting)하면 곡률선형방정식이 얻어지는데, 이의 의미는 약간의 대수적인 계산으로 최적화의 초기 입력 데이터를 손쉽게 얻을 수 있는 가능성을 제시한 것이다. 한편, 응용외의 순수 수차론적인 관점에서 본다면, 본 연구의 특징은 유한 물체거리를 갖는 2 반사경계의 주경 및 부경의 곡률들이 구면수차가 거의 제로가 되는 조건 하에서 상호간에 선형 관계가 존재하였다는 것이다.
