The possibility of earthquakes in vulnerable regions indicates that efficient technique is required for seismic protection of buildings. During the recent decades, the concept is moving towards the insertion of base isolation on seismic prone buildings. So, investigation of structural behavior is a burning topic for buildings to be isolated in base level by bearing device. This study deals with the incorporation of base isolation system and focuses the changes of structural responses for different types of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) isolators. A number of sixteen model buildings have been simulated selecting twelve types of bearing systems as well as conventional fixed-base (FB) scheme. The superstructures of the high-rise buildings are represented by finite element assemblage adopting multi-degree of freedoms. Static and dynamic analyses are carried out for FB and base isolated (BI) buildings. The dynamic analysis in finite element package has been performed by the nonlinear time history analysis (THA) based on the site-specific seismic excitation and compared employing eminent earthquakes. The influence of the model type and the alteration in superstructure behavior of the isolated buildings have been duly assessed. The results of the 3D multistory structures show that the lateral forces, displacement, inertia and story accelerations of the superstructure of the seismic prone buildings are significantly reduced due to bearing insertion. The nonlinear dynamic analysis shows 12 to 40% lessening in base shear when LRB is incorporated leading to substantial allowance of horizontal displacement. It is revealed that the LRB isolators might be potential options to diminish the respective floor accelerations, inertia, displacements and base shear whatever the condition coincides. The isolators with lower force intercept but higher isolation period is found to be better for decreasing base shear, floor acceleration and inertia force leading to reduction of structural and non-structural damage. However, LRB with lower isolator period seems to be more effective in dropping displacement at bearing interface aimed at reducing horizontal shift of building structure.

To design a space frame structure by the conventional method is not easy in practical sense since it is generally a three-dimensional complicated form, and stability and nonlinear problems are not easily checked in the design process. This paper describes two modules, the Model Generator which is based on PATRAN user interface that enables users to generate a complicated finite element model; the Optimum Design Module which analyzes output results of analysis program, and designs members of a space frame. The Model Generator is based on PCL while C++ language is used in the Optimum Design Module. Structural analysis is performed by using ABAQUS. All of these modules constitute Space Frame Integrated Design System. The Core of the system is PATRAN database, in which the Model Generator creates information of a finite element model. Then, PATRAN creates input files needed for the analysis program from the information of the finite element model in the database, and in turn, imports output results of analysis program to the database. Finally, the Optimum Design Module processes member grouping of a space frame based on the output results, and performs optimal member selection of a space frame. This process is repeated until the desired optimum structural members are obtained.

Nonlinear behavior of two-span, continuous composite steel-concrete girders strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) bonded to the top of concrete slab over the negative moment region was evaluated using a non-linear Finite Element (FE) model in this paper. A three-dimensional FE model of continuous composite girder using commercial software ABAQUS simulated and validated with experimental results. The interfacial regions of the composite girder components were modeled using suitable interface elements. Validation of the proposed numerical model with experimental data confirmed the applicability of this model to predict the loading history, strain level for the different components and concrete-steel relative slip. The FE model captured the different modes of failure for the continuous composite girder either in the concrete slab or at the interfacial region between CFRP sheet and concrete slab. Through a parametric study, the thickness of CFRP sheet and shear connection required to develop full capacity of the continuous composite girder at negative moment zone have been investigated. The FE results showed that the proper thickness of CFRP sheet at negative moment region is a function of the adhesive strength and the positive moment capacity of the composite section. The shear connection required at the negative moment zone depends on CFRP sheet's tensile stress level at ultimate load.

본 연구에서는 철근 보강된 Engineered Cementitious Composite(ECC) 면내요소에 대한 2축응력 상태에서의 면내전단거동에 관한 예측 모델을 제시하였다. 기존의 철근콘크리트와 상이한 특성, 즉 ECC 요소의 복수미세균열 현상에 의한 높은 연성의 인장 거동, 일반 콘크리트에 비하여 연성적인 압축 연화 거동, 그리고 ECC 균열면에서의 전단전달 거동 특성 등을 모델에 반영하였다. 면내 순수전단거동에 대한 실험 및 해석결과를 통하여 개발된 R-ECC-MCFT 모델은 ECC 면내전단거동 예측에 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 철근 보강된 ECC 면내요소는 철근콘크리트 면내요소에 비하여 최대전단강도 및 전단변형률이 증가하기 때문에 면내전단변형에서 높은 연성을 확보하는 것으로 평가되었다.

Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is an effective experimental technique for structural dynamic assessment. However, time delay causes displacement de-synchronization at the interface between the numerical and physical substructures, negatively affecting the accuracy and stability of RTHS. To this end, the authors have proposed a model-based adaptive control strategy with a Kalman filter (MAC-KF). In the proposed method, the time delay is mainly mitigated by a parameterized feedforward controller, which is designed using the discrete inverse model of the control plant and adjusted using the KF based on the displacement command and measurement. A feedback controller is employed to improve the robustness of the controller. The objective of this study is to further validate the power of dealing with a nonlinear control plant and to investigate the potential challenges of the proposed method through actual experiments. In particular, the effect of the order of the feedforward controller on tracking performance was numerically investigated using a nonlinear control plant; a series of actual RTHS of a frame structure equipped with a magnetorheological damper was performed using the proposed method. The findings reveal significant improvement in tracking accuracy, demonstrating that the proposed method effectively suppresses the time delay in RTHS. In addition, the parameters of the control plant are timely updated, indicating that it is feasible to estimate the control plant parameter by KF. The order of the feedforward controller has a limited effect on the control performance of the MAC-KF method, and the feedback controller is beneficial to promote the accuracy of RTHS.

사람의 동작을 믿을 수 있게 따라가는 것은 감시용 비디오나 사람과 컴퓨터간의 사용자 인터페이스 개발에 있어서 필수적이다. 이 논문은 모습 기반법(appearance-based method)과 모델 사용법을 혼용하여 사람을 추적하는 새로운 방법에 관한 논문이다. 하나의 비디오 입력이 화소 단위 및 물체 단위로 처리된다. 화소 단위의 처리에 있어서 개별 화소색을 분류하는 훈련방법으로, 가우스 혼합 모델(Gaussian mixture model)을 사용하였다. 물체 단위의 처리에 있어서 사람 몸에 대한 삼차원 모델링을 하고, 모델 몸체를 투사면(projection plane)에 투사시켰다. 투사된 몸체와 배경을 제외한 영상과 계산 기하 방법을 사용하여, 화소보다 작은 단위로 겹쳐지는 면적을 계산하였다. 우리의 방법은 정방향 기구학 (forward kinematics)을 사용하므로 역방향 기구학(inverse kinematics)을 사용하는 방법과 달리 계산 결함(singularity)을 갖지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 사람의 동작을 추적하기 위한 문제를 비선형 방정식 문제로 바꾸었다. 비선형 방정식의 비용 함수는 전경(foreground)의 영상 실루엣(silhouette)과 투사된 삼차원 모델 몸체의 실루엣의 겹쳐지는 면적이다. 화소 단위의 영상을 화소를 하나의 면적으로 계산함으로써, 겹쳐지는 면적에 대한 실수 단위의 계산은 계산 기하를 사용하였다. 이 논문의 방법은 다양한 사람 동작을 인식하기 위하여 사용되었다. 비디오에 나타나는 사람 동작 추적은 매우 우수하다.

The focus of the present study is to investigate both local and global behaviour of a precast concrete sandwich panel. The selected prototype consists of two reinforced concrete layers coupled by a system of cold-drawn steel profiles and one intermediate layer of insulating material. High-definition nonlinear finite element (FE) models, based on 3D brick and 2D interface elements, are used to assess the capacity of this technology under shear, tension and compression. Geometrical nonlinearities are accounted via large displacement-large strain formulation, whilst material nonlinearities are included, in the series of simulations, by means of Von Mises yielding criterion for steel elements and a classical total strain crack model for concrete; a bond-slip constitutive law is additionally adopted to reproduce steel profile-concrete layer interaction. First, constitutive models are calibrated on the basis of preliminary pull and pull-out tests for steel and concrete, respectively. Geometrically and materially nonlinear FE simulations are performed, in compliance with experimental tests, to validate the proposed modeling approach and characterize shear, compressive and tensile response of this system, in terms of global capacity curves and local stress/strain distributions. Based on these experimental and numerical data, the structural performance is then quantified under various loading conditions, aimed to reproduce the behaviour of this solution during production, transport, construction and service conditions.

재하 하중에 의해 압밀 되는 지반에 관입 된 말뚝의 지지력을 예측하고자 MATLAB을 이용한 GUI환경에서 Pile NSF(Pile Negative Skin Friction)프로그램이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법은 일차원 유한변위 압밀이론이 적용될 수 있도록 비선형 하중 전이법에 의한 일차원 토질-말뚝 모델 프로그램인 OpenSees 를 확장하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 압밀과정 중에 발생하는 토질-말뚝의 경계면 변화는 물론 유한 점토층의 저감이 고려되는 Mikasa의 유한변위이론을 융합하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 더 나아가 말뚝 타설 후에 재하성토에 의해 발생하는 지반의 압밀상태도 해석시에 고려할 수 있는 특징을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법에 의한 프로그램 해석은 부마찰력이 발생하는 말뚝에 대하여 말뚝 장기시험 사례 결과와 비교하여 타당성이 검증되었고, 압밀침하를 반영한 말뚝의 부마찰력 예측치는 측정된 결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 보여주고 있다.

The fiber reinforced composite material is widely used in the multi-industrial field where the weight reduction of the infrastructure is demanded because of their high specific modulus and specific strength. It has two main merits which are to cut down energy by reducing weight and to prevent explosive damage preceding to the sudden bursting which is generated by the pressure leakage condition. Therefore, Pressure vessels using this composite material in comparison with conventional metal vessels can be applied in the field such as defense industry, aerospace industry and rocket motor case where lightweight and the high pressure are demanded. In this paper, for nonlinear finite element analysis of E-glass/epoxy filament winding composite pressure vessel receiving an internal pressure, the standard interpretation model is developed by using the ANSYS, general commercial software, which is verified as the accuracy and useful characteristic of the solution based on Auto LISP and ANSYS APDL. Both the preprocessor for doing exclusive analysis of filament winding composite pressure vessel and postprocessor that simplifies result of analysis have been developed to help the design engineers.

Owing to the large number of video programs available, a method for accessing preferred videos efficiently through personalized video summaries and clips is needed. The automatic recognition of user states when viewing a video is essential for extracting meaningful video segments. Although there have been many studies on emotion recognition using various user responses, electroencephalogram (EEG)-based research on preference recognition of videos is at its very early stages. This paper proposes classification models based on linear and nonlinear classifiers using EEG features of band power (BP) values and asymmetry scores for four preference classes. As a result, the quadratic-discriminant-analysis-based model using BP features achieves a classification accuracy of 97.39% (${\pm}0.73%$), and the models based on the other nonlinear classifiers using the BP features achieve an accuracy of over 96%, which is superior to that of previous work only for binary preference classification. The result proves that the proposed approach is sufficient for employment in personalized video segmentation with high accuracy and classification power.
