Several theoretical and analytical formulations for the prediction of shear strength in reinforced concrete (RC) beam-to-column joints have been recently developed. Some of these predictive models are included in the most recent seismic codes and currently used in practical design. On the other hand, the influence of the stiffness and strength degradations in RC joints on the seismic performance of RC framed buildings has been only marginally studied, and it is generally neglected in practice-oriented seismic analysis. To investigate such influence, this paper proposes a numerical description for representing the cyclic response of RC exterior joints. This is then used in nonlinear numerical simulations of RC frames subjected to earthquake loading. According to the proposed strategy, RC joints are modelled using nonlinear rotational spring elements with strength and stiffness degradations and limited ductility under cyclic loading. The proposed joint model has been firstly calibrated against the results from experimental tests on 12 RC exterior joints. Subsequently, nonlinear static and dynamic analyses have been carried out on two-, three- and four-storey RC frames, which represent realistic existing structures designed according to old standards. The numerical results confirm that the global seismic response of the analysed RC frames is strongly affected by the hysteretic damage in the beam-to-column joints, which determines the failure mode of the frames. This highlights that neglecting the effects of joints damage may potentially lead to non-conservative seismic assessment of existing RC framed structures.

바인더의 노화로 인한 성능변화는 침입도 또는 점도시험을 실시하여 판정하여왔다. 기존의 시험방법으로 아스팔트 바인더의 점탄성 특성과 실제거동을 평가할 수 없기 때문에 새로운 분석방법이 요구되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 기존시험 방법을 사용하여 침입도지수와 잔류침입도를 판정하였고, 양방향 반복회전 모드와 일방향 반복회전 모드 시험을 실시하여 단기 노화된 아스팔트 바인더의 유변학적 특성을 분석하였다. 시험결과 단기 노화된 아스팔트 바인더는 시험주기(frequency) 즉, 차량속도의 변화에 따라 서로 다른 복합계수와 위상각을 나타냈으며 단기 노화 전후의 크리프 컴플라이언스 및 전단점도 시험결과에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나서 포장 설계시 이러한 특성이 고려되어야 한다.

The number of discovery of asteroids with peculiar rotational states has recently increased, and hence a novel approach for lightcurve analysis is considered to be critical. In order to investigate objects such as Non-Principal Axis (NPA) rotator, we selected a NPA candidate, (5247) Kryolv as our target considering its Principal Axis Rotation (PAR) code and the visibility in early 2016. The observations of Krylov were made using Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) 1.6 m telescopes installed at the three southern sites with TO (Target of Opportunity) observation mode. We conducted R-band time-series photometry over a total of 51 nights from January to April 2016 with several exposures during each allocated run. The ensemble normalization photometry was employed using the AAVSO Photomtric All-Sky Survey (APASS) catalog for the standardization. We successfully confirmed its NPA spin state based on the deviation from the reduced lightcurve, and thus Krylov is recorded as the first NPA rotator of its kind in the main-belt, with its precession and rotation periods, $P{\varphi}=81.18h$ and $P_{\Psi}=67.17h$, respectively. In this paper, we present the spin direction, the 3D shape model and taxonomy of the newly confirmed NPA asteroid (5247) Krylov.

The cold-formed steel storage racks are extensively employed in various industries applications such as storing products in reliable places and storehouses before distribution to the market. Racking systems lose their stability under lateral loads, such as seismic actions due to the slenderness of elements and low ductility. This justifies a need for more investigation on methods to improve their behavior and increase their capacity to survive medium to severe loads. A standardized connection could be obtained through investigation on the moment resistance, value of original rotational stiffness, ductility, and failure mode of the connection. A total of six monotonic tests were carried out to determine the behavior of the connection of straight 2.0 mm, and 2.6 mm thickness connects to 5 lug end connectors. Then, the obtained results are benched mark as the original data. Furthermore, an extreme learning machine (ELM) technique has been employed to verify and predict both moment and rotation results. Out of 4 connections, increase the ultimate moment resistance of connection by 13% and 18% for 2.0 mm and 2.6 mm upright connection, respectively.

A 50 kW class rotating body type wave energy converter consisted of two floating bodies and a PTO (Power Takeoff) unit is studied. As an wave energy extractor, the body is designed to have a VLCO (Variable Liquid-Column Oscillator) having a liquid filled U-tube with air chambers. Owing to the oscillation of the liquid in the U-tube caused by the air spring effect of the air chambers, the amplitude of response of the VLCO becomes significantly amplified for a target wave period. The PTO converts the rotational moment introduced from the relative motion of the hinged bodies to an hydraulic power by means of a cylinder. A high pressure accumulator, hydraulic motor and a generator are equipped in the PTO to convert the hydraulic power to electric power. A control law for adjusting the oscillation period of the VLCO is proposed for the efficient operation of the VLCO with various wave conditions. It is found that the effect of the air spring has an important role to play in making the oscillation of the VLCO match with the ocean wave. In this way, the wave energy converter equipped with the VLCO provides the most effective mode for extracting energy from the ocean wave.

In the present study, we investigate the flow characteristics of a quadrotor UAV in a hovering mode by measuring multiple two-dimensional velocity fields in the wake. The experiment is conducted at Re = 24,000 in a chamber large enough to neglect the ground effect, where Re is the Reynolds number based on the rotor chord length and the rotor tip speed. The rotational speed of the rotor is determined by an optical tachometer so that the lift force can be balanced with the weight of the UAV. The velocity field measured on the center plane of the rotor shows that the vortices are shedding from the tip of the rotor, inducing large fluctuations in the streamwise velocity along the wake shear layer. The strength of the rotor-tip vortex shedding is asymmetric with respect to the rotor axis due to the interaction between the rotor and the wake centerline of each rotor is inclined to the center of the UAV due to the pressure difference caused by the induced velocity. The wake from each rotor moves closer to each other while traveling in the streamwise direction, and then is merged together inducing large fluctuations in the transverse velocity. Due to the wake merging, on the center plane of the UAV, the velocity increases in the streamwise direction showing two-peak structure in the streamwise velocity contours.

하이브리드 로켓은 특정한 연소조건에서 10~30Hz 저주파수 연소불안정이 나타난다. 후연소실의 와류 흘림 현상이 저주파수 불안정 발생과 직접적인 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 이를 확인하기 위하여 발광하는 연소가스의 후연소실 내부유동을 직접 촬영하여 광도 분석과 유동 가시화를 시도하였다. 저주파수 연소불안정이 발생하면 일정한 주기(~18Hz)를 갖는 광도 변화가 나타났으며, 압력교란(p')의 위상(phase)이 거의 일치하고 있어 비-음향 불안정임에도 불구하고 압력과 연소교란이 상호 간섭하고 있음을 확인하였다. POD에 의한 유동 모드 분석결과 안정한 연소가 발생하면 후연소실 유동은 공간적으로 상하 대칭 모드 형태를 이루지만 불안정 연소에서는 수직방향 경사각을 이루는 대칭축을 중심으로 변화하는 유동모드가 나타난다. 특히 3번 모드는 불안정 연소가 발생하는 경우에만 나타나는 유동 모드이다. 불안정 연소가 발생하는 경우에 수직선을 대칭으로 변하는 모드가 나타나는 것은 저주파수 연소불안정이 발생할 때 와류 흘림인 것으로 판단할 수 있다.

This paper deals with determining the fundamental frequency of tall buildings that consist of framed tube, shear core, belt truss and outrigger systems in which the framed tube and shear core vary in size along the height of the structure. The effect of belt truss and outrigger system is modeled as a concentrated rotational linear spring at the belt truss and outrigger system location. Many cantilevered tall structures can be treated as cantilevered beams with variable cross-section in free vibration analysis. In this paper, the continuous approach, in which a tall building is replaced by an idealized cantilever continuum representing the structural characteristics, is employed and by using energy method and Hamilton's variational principle, the governing equation for free vibration of tall building with variable distributed mass and stiffness is obtained. The general solution of governing equation is obtained by making appropriate selection for mass and stiffness distribution functions. By applying the separation of variables method for time and space, the governing partial differential equation of motion is reduced to an ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients with the assumption that the transverse displacement is harmonic. A power-series solution representing the mode shape function of tall building is used. Applying boundary conditions yields the boundary value problem; the frequency equation is established and solved through a numerical process to determine the natural frequencies. Computer program has been developed in Matlab (R2009b, Version 7.9.0.529, Mathworks Inc., California, USA). A numerical example has been solved to demonstrate the reliability of this method. The results of the proposed mathematical model give a good understanding of the structure's dynamic characteristics; it is easy to use, yet reasonably accurate and suitable for quick evaluations during the preliminary design stages.

일반적으로 철조 교량과 같은 구조물은 탄성지반위에 놓여있는 다지지보로 모형화 시킬 수 있다. 이러한 구조물 들에 항상 움직이는 하중이 작용하게 된다. 움직이는 하중은 특히 고속일때 구조물에 심한 운동을 일으키며 또한 구조물의 동적응력에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 탄성지반위에 놓여있는 다지지보의 동적응답을 Galerkin방법과 수치시간적분방법을 사용하여 구하였다. 시도함수로서는 제1보(고유진동수)에서 구한 직교 다항식 함수를 사용하였다. 일반적으로 가정된 해의 첫번째 항만을 사용하여도 정확한 해를 구할 수 있으나, 병진 스프링 상수값이 크거나 회전 스프링이 제일차 모우드의 기울기가 영인 지점에 위치할 경우에는 반드시 고차 모우드를 포함하여 해석해야 정확한 해를 구할 수 있다.
