내진 보강용 이력 댐퍼로 활용하기 위해 개발된 좌굴방지가새는 일본과 미국을 중심으로 활발히 연구되어 왔다. 좌굴방지가새는 일반적으로 심재와 외피 사이를 콘크리트 등으로 채워 제작된다. 좌굴방지가새에 콘크리트를 채우는 일은 습식 공정으로 제작 효율을 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 하나의 원인으로 심재와 콘크리트의 비부착 처리는 쉽지 않은 작업이다. 이를 개선하기 위해 반원형 스프링으로 심재를 횡지지하는 건식형 좌굴방지가새를 제안하였다. 건식형 좌굴방지가새를 실용화하기 위해 적절한 거동을 갖는 반원형 스프링의 형상을 해석적으로 조사하였다. 심재가 압축을 받아 고차모드로 좌굴하기 위해 필요로 하는 횡지지 강성과 강도를 이론적으로 평가하였다. 또한 실제 적용 조건을 반영하여 반원형 스프링의 실용적 소요강성와 강도를 계산하였다. 이 값을 기준으로 5가지 높이를 변수로 한 반원형 스프링의 비선형 좌굴해석을 통해 적절한 강종과 두께를 선정하였다. 끝으로 최종 선정된 반원형 스프링의 거동을 반영하여 이차원으로 모델링한 건식형 좌굴방지가새의 비선형 좌굴해석을 통해 건식형 좌굴방지가새의 좌굴강도는 반원형 스프링 사이의 거리를 좌굴 길이로 갖는 심재의 좌굴하중과 유사함을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 신축이음장치를 설치하지 않고 상부구조와 교대를 일체화하는 무조인트 교량의 거동해석에 대한 것이다. 선행연구에서는 민감도 해석을 통해 무조인트 교량의 최적 수치해석 모들은 상대오차에 의한 변위 형상의 유사성과 정밀도를 유지하면서 실용적인 shell 요소 기반 모델이 가장 적합한 것으로 판단하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 shell 요소 기반 모델과 solid 요소 모델간의 벽체 깊이별 거동 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 MIDAS Civil과 ABAQUS를 사용하여 해석 프로그램간 비교를 하였다. 반일체식 교대 교량인 A 교와 B 교의 경우 선형 스프링 조건인 Case 1, +30℃의 경우 지반반력으로 인해 벽체 깊이가 깊어질수록 변위가 감소하였다. -30℃의 경우는 지반반력이 작용하지 않으므로 변위 변화가 미소하였다. 완전일체식 교대 교량인 C 교와 흉벽일체식 교대 교량인 D 교의 경우 말뚝의 저항력으로 인하여 +30℃, -30℃ 모두 벽체 깊이가 깊어질수록 변위가 감소하였다. 해석 프로그램간 비교는 Case 1의 경우 상대오차는 미소하였으나 Case 2의 경우는 차이가 발생하였다. 이는 해석 프로그램에 따른 비선형 스프링의 적용 방식의 차이로 인한 것으로 판단된다.

A snap ring is a kind of metal spring with open ends which can be installed into a groove to prevent lateral movement. In this study a nonlinear finite element analysis model is developed to simulate the fastening process of a snap ring connecting the constant velocity joint and the transmission. Insert load, disengage load and breakage are three important issues. They are analyzed using the developed model. The load histories of simulations are similar to those of tests and the differences of maximum load are around 10%. Bending of the entire ring and unfolding of the end section are major contributors of the fastening load. The load variations caused by the angular position of spline tooth are about 50%. Breakage is highly sensitive to the position of a snap ring.

This paper deals with a numerical study of the tribological contact stress distributions of elastomeric lip seah for oscillating shafts when the sealing interference and band width between the lip edge of contact seals the shaft are present. Using the finite element method, the contact stress and band width of scraper seals rare analyzed for the sealing interference including some nonlinearities such as geometrical nonlinearity, material nonlinearity and nonlinear contact boundary condition. The FEM results showed that the contact stress concentrated on the contacting lip zone between the contacting edge of lip and the shaft for the increased interference. In double lip scraper seals, the maximum contact stress of the dust lip, which is used to exclude foreign contaminants, is six times higher than that of the primary sealing lip, which is used to contain lubricants.

This paper presents an advanced analytical approach for the design and analysis of fixed offshore structures with soil structure interaction considered. The proposed methodology involves conducting case studies to illustrate and assess the structural response of a structure considering seven different earthquakes, with the primary goal of ensuring there is no global collapse in the structures. The case studies focus on developing a model for structural analysis and its topside, incorporating nonlinear axial and lateral springs to capture soil-pile interaction. Additionally, mass and damping ratios are considered through the use of dashpots in the analyses. Finite Element Software was employed for structural analyses with detailed modeling, with soil spring nodes applied in the entire structure across various depths. After the finite element analysis was carried out, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to quantify and report the effects of different parameters.

A high-efficiency simplified modelling approach is proposed for investigating the nonlinear responses of reinforced concrete linings of shield tunnels. Material and geometric nonlinearities are considered in the analysis of the lining structures undergoing large deformation before ultimately losing the load-carrying capacity. A beam-spring element model is developed to capture the force-transfer mechanism between lining segments and radial joints. The developed model is validated by comparing analyzed results to experimental results of a single-ring lining structure under two loading conditions: the ground overloading and the lateral unloading respectively. The results show that the lining structure under the lateral unloading due to excavation on the both sides of the tunnel is more vulnerable compared to the case of ground overloading on the top of the tunnel. A parameter study is conducted and results indicate that the lateral pressure coefficient has the greatest influence on the behaviour of the lining structure.

This study presents a new beam-column model comprising material nonlinearity and joint flexibility to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. The nonlinear behavior of connections has an outstanding role on the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. In presented research, the joint flexibility is considered applying a rotational spring at each end of the member. To derive the moment-rotation behavior of beam-column connections, the relative rotations produced by the relative slip of flexural reinforcement in the joint and the flexural cracking of the beam end are taken into consideration. Furthermore, the considered spread plasticity model, unlike the previous models that have been developed based on the linear moment distribution subjected to lateral loads includes both lateral and gravity load effects, simultaneously. To confirm the accuracy of the proposed methodology, a simply-supported test beam and three reinforced concrete frames are considered. Pushover and nonlinear dynamic analysis of three numerical examples are performed. In these examples the nonlinear behavior of connections and the material nonlinearity using the proposed methodology and also linear flexibility model with different number of elements for each member and fiber based distributed plasticity model with different number of integration points are simulated. Comparing the results of the proposed methodology with those of the aforementioned models describes that suggested model that only uses one element for each member can appropriately estimate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures.

Fastening systems have a significant role in the response of railway slab track systems. Although experimental tests indicate nonlinear behavior of fastening systems, they have been simulated as a linear spring-dashpot element in the available literature. In this paper, the influence of the nonlinear behavior of fastening systems on the slab track response was investigated. In this regard, a nonlinear model of vehicle/slab track interaction, including two commonly used fastening systems (i.e., RFFS and RWFS), was developed. The time history of excitation frequency of the fastening system was derived using the short time Fourier transform. The model was validated, using the results of a comprehensive field test carried out in this study. The frequency response of the track was studied to evaluate the effect of excitation frequency on the railway track response. The results obtained from the model were compared with those of the conventional linear model of vehicle/slab track interaction. The effects of vehicle speed, axle load, pad stiffness, fastening preload on the difference between the outputs obtained from the linear and nonlinear models were investigated through a parametric study. It was shown that the difference between the results obtained from linear and nonlinear models is up to 38 and 18 percent for RWFS and RFFS, respectively. Based on the outcomes obtained, a nonlinear to linear correction factor as a function of vehicle speed, vehicle axle load, pad stiffness and preload was derived. It was shown that consideration of the correction factor compensates the errors caused by the assumption of linear behavior for the fastening systems in the currently used vehicle track interaction models.

Magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) rotatory dampers are normally used for controlling the constant rotation of machines and engines. In this research, such a device is proposed to act as variable stiffness device to alleviate the rotational oscillation existing in the many engineering applications, such as motor. Under such thought, the main purpose of this work is to characterize the nonlinear torque-angular displacement/angular velocity responses of an MRF based variable stiffness device in oscillatory motion. A rotational hysteresis model, consisting of a rotatory spring, a rotatory viscous damping element and an error function-based hysteresis element, is proposed, which is capable of describing the unique dynamical characteristics of this smart device. To estimate the optimal model parameters, a modified whale optimization algorithm (MWOA) is employed on the captured experimental data of torque, angular displacement and angular velocity under various excitation conditions. In MWOA, a nonlinear algorithm parameter updating mechanism is adopted to replace the traditional linear one, enhancing the global search ability initially and the local search ability at the later stage of the algorithm evolution. Additionally, the immune operation is introduced in the whale individual selection, improving the identification accuracy of solution. Finally, the dynamic testing results are used to validate the performance of the proposed model and the effectiveness of the proposed optimization algorithm.
