This paper is to analyze the stability of the thick plate on inhomogeneous Pasternak foundation, with linearly varying thickness and concentrated mass by finite element method. To verify this finite element method, the results of natural frequencies and buckling stresses by the proposed method are compared with the existing solutions. The dynamic instability regions are decided by the dynamic stability analysis of the thick plate on inhomogeneous Pasternak foundation, with linearly varying thickness and concentrated mass. The non-dimensional Winkler foundation parameter is applied as 100, 1000 and non-dimensional shear foundation parameter is applied as 5. The tapered ratios are applied as 0.25 and 1.0, the ratios of concentrated mass to plate mass as 0.25 and 1.0, and the ratio of in-plane force to critical load as 0.4. As the result of numerical analysis of the thick plate on inhomogeneous Pasternak foundation for $u{\times}v=300cm{\times}300cm$ and $a{\times}b=600cm{\times}600cm$, instability areas of the thick plate which has the larger rigidity of inner area are farther from ${\beta}$-axis and narrower than those which has the larger rigidity of outer area.

The stone columns are increasingly being used as a soil improvement method for supporting a wide variety of structures (such as road embankment, buildings, storage tanks etc.) especially built on soft soil. Soil improvement by the stone column method overcomes the settlement problem and low stability. Nevertheless, stone column in very soft soils may not be functional due to insufficient lateral confinement. The required lateral confinement can be overcome by encasing the stone column with a suitable geosynthetic. Encasement of stone columns with geogrid is one of the ideal forms of improving the performance of stone columns. This paper presents the results of a series of experimental tests and numerical analysis to investigate the behavior of stone columns with and without geogrid encasement in soft clay deposits. A total of six small scale laboratory tests were carried out using circular footing with diameters of 0.05 m and 0.1 m. In addition, a well-known available software program called PLAXIS was used to numerical analysis, which was validated by the experimental tests. After good validation, detailed of parametric studies were performed. Different parameters such as bearing capacity of stone columns with and without geogrid encasement, stiffness of geogrid encasement, depth of encasement from ground level, diameter of stone columns, internal friction angle of crushed stone and lateral bulging of stone columns were analyzed. As a result of this study, stone column method can be used in the improvement of soft ground and clear development in the bearing capacity of the stone column occurs due to geogrid encasement. Moreover, the bearing capacity is effected from the diameter of the stone column, the angle of internal friction, rigidity of the encasement, and depth of encasement. Lateral bulging is minimized by geogrid encasement and effected from geogrid rigidity, depth of encasement and diameter of the stone column.

In this paper, It is performing to the elastic and elasto-plastic large deformation series analysis using a numerical method for the initial deflection effect of the aluminum alloy rectangular plate in the elasto-plastic loading area patch loading size. It is assumed a boundary condition to be a simply supported condition and consider the initial deflection amplitude, aspect ratio. It examined the critical elastic buckling load and post-buckling behaviour of aluminium alloy A6082-T6 rectangular plate. It used a commercial program for the elastic and elasto-plastic deformation series analysis. If the initial deflection amplitude is smaller, the in-plane rigidity with increasing to load is reduced from the start and occurs significantly more increasing the amplitude. More higher the aspect ratio, the initial yield strength is gradually decreased, and the plate thickness thicker and occurs larger than the thin walled plate a reduction ratio of the initial yield strength of the patch loading size as 0.5.

The purpose of this study is to establish the predictive equation of welding distortion at the thick AA5083 alloy weldment. In order to do it, the extensive FE analysis was peformed to identify the principal factor controlling welding distortion. Based on the results, the predictive equations of transverse shrinkage and angular distortion at the thick AA5083 alloy weldment were formulated as the function of heat intensity (Q), in-plane(Di) and bending(Db) rigidity.

In this paper, multiphase optimization of machine structure is presented. The goal of first step is to obtain (i) light weight, (ii) rigidity statically. In this step, multiple optimization problem with two objective functions is treated using Pareto Genetic Algorithm. Where two objective functions are weight of the structure, and static compliance. The method is applied to a new machine structure design.

직물은 유연하여 외력에 의해 쉽게 굽힘, 비틀림 등의 변형이 일어난다. 이러한 특성 중 직물의 굽힘은 태, 봉제성, 드레이프성 등의 중요 인자로서 지금까지 여러 연구들이 직물의 구조에 관련하여 굽힘강성을 분석하려는 시도가 계속되어 왔다. 이러한 연구의 최초의 시도로서 1930년대 Peirce가 직물을 선형탄성체로 가정한 후 외팔보법을 적용시켜 굽힘길이로 굽힘강성을 나타내었으며[l] 현재까지도 이 시험법이 시행되어 오고 있다. (중략)

A numerical method to predict responses of very large floating structures in wave is suggested using source-dipole distribution method. The deflection of the plate is calculated by the finite element method in terms of rigidity matrix of each node. The calculated results for a plate are compared with the experimental ones.

In the recent field of 5-axis machine tools, it is necessary to improve machining ability. The tilting index table is a key unit in order to manufacture some non-rotational and 3-dimensional parts by using conventional machining centers. In this study, the structural analysis of a tilting index table is carried out and the displacement and distribution of stress in the tilting index table is analysed to design the table safely. The modal analysis is performed in order to confirm the frequency response about the vibration having a large effect on the machine tools. The dynamic analysis is performed in order to confirm the rigidity, and the structural stability has been verified.

In this paper, seismic qualification analysis for the Plant control Panel is carried out to confirm the structural integrity under the seismic conditions represented by required response spectra(RRS). The finite element method(FEM) is used for the analysis and a mode combination method is adopted to obtain a more reliable spectrum analysis results. In addition, the experimental analysis is performed to compare the reliability of the analytical results. The analysis results shows that the plant control panel system is designed to have the dynamic rigidity with no resonance frequency below 33 Hz. The analytically calculated maximum stress of the plant control panel system is $36\%$ of the field strength of material, thus it can be shown that the system has a stable structure for the seismic load.

This paper is concerned with the natural periods of ambient vibration and eigenvalue analysis. Ambient vibration tests were conducted to four bearing-wall reinforced concrete buildings ranging from twelve to nineteen stories. The performance of modeling in eigenvalue analysis was investigated using consideration of rigidity out of the plane in the slab and the non-structural bearing wall. Measured natural period was also compared with the value by the KBC2005. Natural period of the short direction in eigenvalue analysis is well fitted with the measured one. In the other hand, Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis is slightly more overestimated than the measured one. Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis was found to be enhanced by considering the effect of the stiffness out of the plane of the slab and non-structural wall in the structural modeling.
