A geometrically nonlinear analysis procedure including the damping effects is presented for the investigation of the dynamic post-divergence and post-flutter behavior of a non-conservative system. The dynamic nonlinear analysis of plane frame structure subjected to conservative and non-conservative forces is carried out by solving the equations of motion using Newmark method. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effects of the internal and external damping forces in the conservative and non-conservative systems.

Method for contact failure mitigation is studied in this paper. The focus is laid on the contact shape that eventually influences the internal stresses. Contact mechanics is consulted within the frame of plane problem. Hertzian contact, rounded punch and uniform traction profiles are considered. Frictional as well as frictionless contact is also considered. As results, the higher traction profile induced by the rounded punch reveals the greatest among the considered shapes. Therefore, it is suggested to increase the edge radius as large as possible if a contact body of punch shape needs to be designed. It is also found that uniform traction cannot always provide the solution of contact failure mitigation.

This paper presents an analytical prediction of the prestress losses of prestressed concrete bridges. In this study a numerical procedure and computer program is developed to analyze the behavior of prestressed concrete bridges considering the time-dependent properties of material. It accounts for the aging, creep and shrinkage of concrete and the stress relaxation of prestressed steel. The structural model uses two dimensional plane frame elements with three nodal degree of freedom and is analyzed based on the finite element method. Member cross section can consist of concrete, reinforcement and prestressing steel. Two different set of equations for the prediction of time-dependent material properties of concrete are presented, which are ACI, CEB-FIP. The proposed numerical method for the prestress losses of prestressed concrete bridges is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

The object of this study is to analize the trilateration adjustment by FEM. FEM is a numerical method for analysis dealing with problems of displacement and variation about the object. Since a plane trilateration net can be likend to a plan structural frame work in stress analysis, the technic of FEM can be used for trilateration adjustment Thus, this study applied FEM and Condition Equation Method to a trilateration adjustment, and investigated precision and characteristics of them.

Efficiency of design process for large scale structures highly depends on the development of efficient structural analysis and structural response control algorithms because a successful design involves a number of structural analysis based on iterative structural response control process. In this paper, distributed structural analysis model on multiple personal computers connected by ethernet network is presented. To reduce communication cost required in the process of analysis, substructuring techniques are adopted to evenly distribute computational loads on each processor. With its applications on structural analysis of plane frame structures, performance of the proposed computational model are presented in detail.

One of the primary factors like plate structure In ship is redundancy structure that is comparable with ocean structure and frame structure. The more component material becomes buckling collapsed locally the less structure stiffness becomes accordingly. As a result, by increasing the load distribution of any other subsidiary structure continually component member collapses, therefore the structure could be in danger of collapse. So, in order to interpret this phenomenon precisely, the study on boundary condition of the ship's Plate and post-buckling analysis must be considered. In this study, the rectangular plate is compressed by the in-plane load. Buckling ＆ Ultimate strength characteristics we applied to be the elasto-plasticity large deformation by F.E.M. On this basis, elasto-plasticity of the plain plate are investigated. This study proved elasto-plasticity behaviour of tile ship's plate In accordance with boundary condition based on the series analysis In case of the compressive load operation.

An explicit direct time integration method based solution algorithm is presented to predict dynamic buckling response of Euler column. On the basis of large deflection beam theory, a plane frame finite element is formulated and implemented into the solution algorithm. The element formulation takes into account geometrical nonlinearity and overall buckling of steel structural frames. The solution algorithm employs the central difference method. Using the computer program developed by the author, dynamic instability behavior of Euler column under impact loading is investigated by considering the time variation of load, load magnitude, and load duration. The free vibration of Euler column caused by a short duration impact load is also studied. The validity and efficiency of the present formulation and solution algorithm are verified through illustrative numerical examples.

A 2-bay 2-story moment-resisting reinforced concrete plane frame with seismic detail was designed. One 1/2.5-scale and one 1/10th model subassemblages were manufactured accoring to the required similitude law. Then the reversed load tests under the displacement control were performed statically to these subassemblages. The results of these tests were compared regarding to the similitude in the characteristics of structural behaviors such as strength., stiffness, energy dissipation, failure modes and local deformations. Based on these results, the following conclussions were drawn : (1) The strength of 1/10 model was very similar to that of 1/2.5 specimen. (2) The initial stiffness of 1/10 model appers to be approximately 2/3 of that of 1/2.5 specimen. (3) 1/10 model has therefore smaller energy dissipation capacity than 1/2.5 specimen. (4) Inelastic excursion mechanisms of 1/2.5 specimen and 1/10 model apper to be a little different.

For the collapse of structures due to the variable repeated load, two types of collapse mechanisms, i.e., incremental collapse and alternating plasticity, exist. Under the similar variable repeated loading conditions there exists shakedown state in the structures. In shakedown state, the number of plastic hinges are not increased and all further loading will be resulted in the elastic moment changes. Namely, under the shakedown state, structures do not collapse. In this investigation, shakedown analysis are performed by composing new computer programs. Basic theories employed to compose the programs are as follows. 1. Newton-Raphson methods are added to the existing matrix method for the plastic analysis. 2. An effort to construct the stiffness of axial and bending springs attached at both ends of the member has been made. By using the programs developed, it is possible to anticipate the collapse mechanisms (Incremental collapse, alternating plasticity). Lastly for the verification of performance of the program, demonstration examples have been solved and the results are compared with other sources.
